Exposure5
  • Two other proposed theories are (1) in utero ischemic injury and (2) in utero exposure to teratogens. (medscape.com)
  • Exposure to a teratogen can cause a birth defect in the unborn baby. (skprevention.ca)
  • Several factors affect the ability of a teratogen to contact a developing conceptus, such as the nature of the agent itself, route and degree of maternal exposure, rate of placental transfer and systemic absorption, and composition of the maternal and embryonic/fetal genotypes. (wikipedia.org)
  • Exposure to the teratogen affects the fetus or embryo in a variety of ways, such as the duration of exposure, the amount of teratogenic substance, and the stage of development the embryo or fetus is in during the exposure. (asu.edu)

Carcinogens3

Substances2
  • Teratogens are substances that may cause non-heritable birth defects via a toxic effect on an embryo or fetus. (wikipedia.org)
  • Teratogens are substances that may produce physical or functional defects in the human embryo or fetus after the pregnant woman is exposed to the substance. (asu.edu)
Congenital2
  • It is a sub-discipline in medical genetics which focuses on the classification of congenital abnormalities in dysmorphology caused by teratogens. (wikipedia.org)
  • It enables the timely deployment of primary prevention interventions which aim to prevent teratogen-induced birth defects (including those caused by congenital syphilis and rubella), defects caused by iodine deficiency disorder, neural tube defects (and possibly other malformations), and maternal-age-related chromosomal disorders (e.g. (who.int)
Neural tube de1
  • During this time, teratogens can cause neural tube defects, such as spina bifida. (somc.org)
Fetus5
  • A teratogen is anything a woman is exposed to during pregnancy that can harm her unborn baby (fetus). (skprevention.ca)
  • How does a teratogen reach the fetus? (skprevention.ca)
  • However, when a mother is exposed to a teratogen, her blood can also carry bad things to the fetus. (skprevention.ca)
  • When a pregnant woman is exposed to a teratogen, the body parts of the fetus that are developing at that time may be harmed. (skprevention.ca)
  • A teratogen is an agent (such as virus, drugs and radiation) that is known to cause malformation in an embryo or fetus. (pregnancy-info.net)
Alcohol4
Pregnant1
  • I included the most common to bring attention to the teratogens that pregnant people are the most susceptible to. (luc.edu)
Embryonic2
  • One example of this is the use of mammalian animal models to evaluate the molecular role of teratogens in the development of embryonic populations, such as the neural crest, which can lead to the development of neurocristopathies. (wikipedia.org)
  • However, the exact mechanisms by which teratogens impair or alter typical embryonic development is still being investigated. (scitechdaily.com)
Developmental1
  • Developmental causes The causes of developmental facial paralysis are numerous and may be associated with syndromes and teratogens. (medscape.com)
Baby's1
  • As a baby grows in the womb, teratogens may affect parts of the baby's body as they are forming. (somc.org)
Environmental1
  • Birth defects are a diverse group of disorders of prenatal origin which can be caused by single gene defects, chromosomal disorders, multifactorial inheritance, environmental teratogens and micronutrient deficiencies. (who.int)
Birth1
  • The Emory University School of Medicine warns that about 4 to 5 percent of all birth defects are due to exposures to teratogens. (modernmom.com)
Medications2
  • At least 2 systems are used to classify the risk associated with specific medications: the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) system and the automated Teratogen Information System (TERIS). (medscape.com)
  • Many medications, including diet pills, are possible teratogens. (modernmom.com)
Public Health1
  • Teratogens: A public health issue: A Brazilian overview. (bvsalud.org)
Development1
  • The extent to which teratogens will impact an embryo is dependent on several factors, such as how long the embryo has been exposed, the stage of development the embryo was in when exposed, the genetic makeup of the embryo, and the transfer rate of the teratogen. (wikipedia.org)
Order1
  • 4. Explain how different physical and behavioral health roles can aid those that have been exposed to the teratogen in order to reduce symptoms and increase quality of life. (academicpaperexperts.com)
Impact1
  • For this essay, you will examine the short-term and long-term impact of teratogens on an individual. (academicpaperexperts.com)
Research1
  • Within the past 10 years, several research projects have shown that zebrafish can effectively be used to check for teratogens. (scitechdaily.com)
Categories1
  • In this presentation I cover what teratogens are, the categories they are divided into, along with the most common in each category. (luc.edu)
Effects1
  • I also outlined some of the most common effects of teratogens and the range of effects that can be present, from death to limb deformities. (luc.edu)
Things1
  • Teratogens can be things that she breathes in, swallows, or touches. (skprevention.ca)
Overview1
  • This presentation aims to give a concise overview and foundation on the topic of teratogens. (luc.edu)
