esophageal atresia/obesity

BACKGROUND The etiology of the congenital malformation esophageal atresia (EA) is essentially unknown. We hypothesized that maternal tobacco smoking, obesity, and low socioeconomic status (SES) during early pregnancy might increase the risk of the fetus developing EA. METHODS A nationwide,

The causes of embryological developmental anomalies leading to laryngotracheoesophageal clefts (LTECs) are not known, but are proposed to be multifactorial, including genetic and environmental factors. Haploinsufficiency of the RERE gene might contribute to different phenotypes seen in individuals

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcome of patients with oesophageal atresia type III (EA), focusing on the presence of late sequelae and quality of life. METHODS This was a retrospective case ascertainment followed by clinical assessment of patients. The study parameters

BACKGROUND Postprandial hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia (PHH) is an increasingly recognized complication of gastric bypass surgery in obese adults, distinct from the "dumping syndrome". METHODS Upon birth, primary repair of esophageal atresia was performed, and at the age of 14 months definite

Surveillance of congenital anomalies is important to identify potential teratogens. This study analysed the prevalence of 61 congenital anomaly subgroups (excluding chromosomal) in 25 population-based EUROCAT registries (1980-2012). Live births, fetal deaths and terminations of pregnancy for fetal
