  • Preconceptional Iron Intake and Gestational Diabetes Mellitus

    Open AccessAnne Marie Darling, Anne Darling et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2016

    Our objective was to assess the impact of preconceptional heme and non-heme iron on gestational diabetes mellitius (GDM) in the Boston University Slone Epidemiology Birth Defects Study (BDS). This retrospective cohort analysis included 7229 participants enrolled in the BDS between 1998 and 2008 who gave birth to non-malformed infants and were free of pre-existing diabetes. All data were collected through structured interviews conducted within 6 m…

  • Risk of Spina Bifida and Maternal Cigarette, Alcohol, and Coffee Use during the First Month of Pregnancy

    Open AccessCorey M Benedum, Corey Benedum et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2013

    This study was conducted to assess the association between the risks of spina bifida (SB) in relation to cigarette, alcohol, and caffeine consumption by women during the first month of pregnancy. Between 1988-2012, this multi-center case-control study interviewed mothers of 776 SB cases and 8,756 controls about pregnancy events and exposures. We evaluated cigarette smoking, frequency of alcohol drinking, and caffeine intake during the first lunar…

  • Prescription Medication Sharing

    Allen A MitchellARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health2008Referências: 3

    In their survey of prescription medication sharing, Goldsworthy et al.1 appropriately noted the paucity of information on this important behavior. Given concerns about potentially harmful effects on the fetus from in utero exposures to medication, it is particularly important to understand medication-sharing behaviors among a broad sample of pregnant women. We examined this question some time ago. A performer participates in the second Walk Again…

  • Achieving a public health recommendation for preventing neural tube defects with folic acid

    Martha M Werler, Carol Louik et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health1999Citada por: 2Referências: 14

    OBJECTIVES: This study examined 3 approaches to achieving the public health recommendation that all women of child-bearing age ingest 0.40 mg of folic acid per day to reduce the occurrence of neural tube defects (NTDs). METHODS: A total of 1136 mothers of infants with major malformations from the Boston and Philadelphia areas, whose pregnancies began from 1993 to 1995, were interviewed within 6 months of delivery about vitamin supplementation, di…

  • Maternal Exposure to Spermicides in Relation to Certain Birth Defects

    Carol Louik, Allen A Mitchell et al.ARTICLEStudies in Family Planning1988

    Several studies have found no increase in the overall frequency of birth defects in association with the use of spermicides, but the possibility of an increase in specific defects remains. We evaluated this possibility in a large case-control study. Infants with certain malformations (265 with Down's syndrome, 396 with hypospadias, 146 with limb reduction defects, 116 with neoplasms, and 215 with neural-tube defects) were compared with 3442 contr…
