Congenital Defects In Children

According to doctors at the Indraprastha Apollo Hospitals, the baby was diagnosed with 'Transposition of Great Arteries' a congenital heart defect in which the large blood vessels that carry blood from the heart to the lungs and to the body are connected the opposite of a normal heart's structure.

The overall risk of congenital heart defects - the leading cause of birth defect-related deaths - is determined by a complex combination of gene effects both inside and outside of the heart, a new study has found.

Children born with a certain congenital heart defect often need a pulmonary valve surgically inserted when they are 10 to 15 years old. Researchers have now developed computer simulations to determine if the necessary valve will fit in the individual's heart -- before the surgery takes place.

Children with congenital defects born to parents exposed to the gas leakage in Bhopal in 1984 should be identified and treated, demanded an NGO running a clinic for the survivors of the world's worst industrial disaster ahead of its 31st anniversary.

Built in three pieces using a flexible filament, the printing reportedly took around 20 hours and cost $600.

There is a link between certain types of migraines in children and a common congenital heart defect.

Smoking during pregnancy may result in congenital heart defects in the infants.

According to a recent study, children conceived through in vitro fertilization (IVF) techniques may have an increased risk for a rare set of urologic birth defects.
