The overexpression of the folate receptor in most cancers has been widely exploited to specifically deliver folic acid (FA) coupled nanomedicines to tumors. However, complex coupling chemistry is often used to bind FA to the nanoparticles. Furthermore, very little has been reported for the targeting
Does maternal periconceptional no folic acid supplementation have an increased risk of neural tube defects (NTDs) associated with previous spontaneous abortion or first-trimester fever?Maternal periconceptional no folic acid supplementation can increase the Previous studies have shown an association between maternal fever in early pregnancy and neural tube defects (NTDs) such as spina bifida. Periconceptional folic acid intake has been shown to reduce the risk of these outcomes.
Using data from the Slone Epidemiology Center Birth Defects Study
Carbon encapsulated iron oxide nanoparticles (CEIO-NPs) prepared by carbon arc method were successfully applied for in vitro magnetic hyperthermia. The CEIO-NPs were chemically oxidized and surface modified with PEG-FA for selective tumor localization in cancer cells that over expresses the folate
Superparamagnetic magnetite nanoparticles were synthetized and capped by a SiO2 shell in order to avoid oxidation and aggregation of the iron oxide nanostructures. The inorganic capping was then further decorated by folic acid molecules, by using a very simple procedure exploiting
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the protective effects of vitamin B(12), ginseng saponin, and folic acid on mouse embryos subjected to high heat.
METHODS
Mice were used for the experiment.
RESULTS
After exposure of pregnant mice to high heat, the rates of teratism, stillbirth, and fetal absorption were
Neural tube defects (NTD) are the most common congenital malformations of the nervous system, they have a multifactorial etiology, are caused by exposure to chemical, physical or biological toxic agents, factors deficiency, diabetes, obesity, hyperthermia, genetic alterations and unknown causes.
OBJECTIVE
Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an autosomal recessive autoinflammatory disease characterised by paroxysmal attacks of serosal inflammation. Colchicine is highly effective in preventing these attacks but it may also disrupt the intestinal absorption of vitamin B12. We hypothesised
Objectives Folate plays a vital role in biologic functions yet women often do not meet the recommended dietary intake in pregnancy. It has been suggested that high folic acid intake during pregnancy may increase the risk of respiratory diseases in offspring. However, findings from observational
Charts of 122 patients with megaloblastic anemia due to either B12 or folic acid deficiency were reviewed for the presence of fever. Fever, defined as a temperature of 100 F (37.8 C) or more, was present in approximately 40% of the patients with both. The elevation was usually minimal but was
BACKGROUND
Hyperthermia produces neural tube defects (NTDs) in a variety of animal species. Elevated maternal body temperatures may also place the developing human embryo at risk. We examined the relation between maternal hyperthermia and the development of NTDs in a high-risk Mexican-American
Megaloblastic anaemia as a cause of pyrexia is a rare entity. Similarly, hyperpigmentation of skin has rarely been reported as the presenting manifestation of folate and/or vitamin B12 deficiency. The author reports the case of a patient who presented with fever and hyperpigmentation and was
New folate-conjugated superparamagnetic maghemite nanoparticles have been synthesized for the intracellular hyperthermia treatment of solid tumors. These ultradispersed nanosystems have been characterized for their physicochemical properties and tumor cell targeting ability, facilitated by surface
Deficiency of vitamin B12 and/or folic acid as a cause of pyrexia, though known, is rarely reported in literature. We aimed to report a case in a 51 year old woman, who presented with fever and pancytopenia and was diagnosed to have megaloblastic anemia secondary to vitamin B12 and folate
