Differential Associations of Maternal Factors With Anotia and Microtia Laterality in a North American Case–Control Study
Background: Congenital underdevelopment of one or both ears (microtia/anotia) is the most common component of craniofacial microsomia (CFM). Although the right side is more commonly affected, social determinants of laterality remain unde...

Ameliorative Potential of Green and Red Cabbage Extracts Against Teratogenic and Hepatotoxic Effects of Dimenhydrinate in Chick Embryo
Background: Dimenhydrinate (DH) is the first generation medicine used as antiemetic. It is neurotoxic in rat and chick embryos. Both green cabbage (GCbg) and red cabbage (RCbg) have many health benefits and red cabbage is also full of an...

Effects of Vitamin B12 , Folic Acid, and L‐Carnitine on Congenital Malformations Induced by Vitamin A Hypervitaminosis
Background: Excessive intake of exogenous vitamin A during pregnancy has been associated with congenital malformations. This experimental study aimed to evaluate whether vitamin B12, folic acid, and L‐carnitine exert a protective or cont...

The Fetal Effects of Chorionic Villus Sampling
Background: Physical examinations have been essential in the delineation of the spectrum of teratogenic effects of teratogens, such as valproate, isotretinoin and thalidomide, as well as chorionic villus sampling (CVS). CVS became an alt...

Compound Heterozygous Mutations in FGA Cause Congenital Afibrinogenemia: A Case Report and Literature Review
Background: Congenital afibrinogenemia is an extremely rare autosomal recessive bleeding disorder with an estimated incidence of one in one million, caused by mutations in the fibrinogen‐encoding genes. Methods: We report a genetically c...

Evaluating the Performance of Traditional Pharmacoepidemiologic and Machine Learning Models to Predict Pregnancies at Risk of Major Congenital Malformations
Background: With approximately 50% of pregnancies being unplanned, there is an unintended exposure to potential feto‐toxic drugs that may cause major congenital malformations (MCM). This study aims to compare the predictive performance b...
