Stomach-bladder distances in fetuses with simple or complex gastroschisis during gestational age. Different colors and symbols represent different fetuses. Location of intestinal atresia in complex gastroschisis (n=7): jejunal (pink rhombus, green triangle); jejunal + colonic (pink circle); ileal (light blue triangle, dark blue triangle, orange rhombus); unclear (orange square).

... mixed modelling showed no significant contribution of a GA-squared term; a linear model fitted the ln-transformed data best. Fetal stomach volume did not differ significantly between fetuses with simple and those with complex gastroschisis at 20 weeks' gestation ( Figure 4, Table 2; p=0.397), nor did stomach-bladder distance ( Figure 5, Table 2; p=0.345). ...

Background
Neonatal short bowel syndrome is a devastating condition that carries a high mortality in the developing world. Among the congenital causes of this condition is midgut atresia which is exceedingly rare and often associated with gastroschisis.

Folic acid (FA) can reduce the risk for selected birth defects other than neural tube defects (NTDs). We examined whether FA has preventive effects against foetal abdominal wall defects (AWDs) in a unique intervention cohort in China. Birth outcomes of 247 831 singleton births from a population-based cohort study with detailed preconceptional FA in...
Abdominal wall defects encompass three primary classifications: gastroschisis, omphalocele and anomalies resembling body stalk. Potential causative factors include early amnion rupture, amniotic bands, vascular disruptions or abnormal folding of the embryo. The prevalence of these defects stands at 1 in 14,000 live births. Body stalk anomaly is cha...
Introduction
Stoma closure surgery (SCS; restoring intestinal continuity) in children is associated with high post-surgical complication rates with no established preventive strategies. Although many of these complications can be directly or indirectly attributable to bowel obstruction, no anatomical obstructive pathology is found in the majority....
