An extremely rare case of sirenomelia in dicephalic parapagus twins discordant for anencephaly and spina bifida that was diagnosed after birth is presented. High incidence of congenital anomalies both with sirenomelia and parapagus twins independently make the prognosis much worse, with additional neural tube defect rendering it almost incompatible with life. Termination of pregnancy is advised when diagnosed in utero. Key words: anencephaly, dicephalic parapagus, spina bifida, sirenomelia

SUMMARYThe heritability (h2) and frequency of the neural tube closure defects, cranium bifidum (CB) and spina bifida (SB), have been estimated for a population of 9-day-old hamster embryos through half-sibling analysis. The average frequency of the total affected embryos per litter is approximately 17% while the pooled estimate for h2 based on between sires and between dams within sires components was 4%. This value points to the importance of environmental factors in contributing to the variance in defect frequencies observed within this population.

Encephalocele is defined as protrusion of cranial contents like meninges and cerebral tissue beyond the normal confines of the skull through a defect in the cranium. It is one form of a neural tube defect as are anencephaly and spina bifida. There are 2 main types of encephalomeningocele, frontoethmoidal and occipital, according to the location of the defect. The frontoethmoidal type defect, which is located in the area of the frontal and ethmoidal bones. The authors present a case of frontonasal encephalocele in a very young child.Journal of National Institute of Neurosciences Bangladesh, 2018;4(1): 58-62

We measured Concanavalin A (Con A) non-binding alphafetoprotein in amniotic fluid from 21 normal pregnancies and 20 abnormal pregnancies (complicated by anencephaly, spina bifida, or exomphalos) using small Con A-sepharose chromatography columns. There was a highly significant difference between percentage non-binding alphafetoprotein levels for pregnancies with a normal outcome (mean result 32%; range 18–47%) and pregnancies complicated by a neural tube defect or exomphalos (mean 14%; range 7–20%). The test is therefore of potential value in cases where there is uncertainty over the interpretation of total amniotic fluid alphafetoprotein levels.

Vitamin B9

Asam folat (vitamin B9) sangat penting selama kehamilan, dan merupakan satu-satunya vitamin yang kebutuhannya selama hamil berlipat dua.Pemberian asam folat pada ibu hamil diketahui untuk mencegah terjadinya neural tube defect (cacat tabung saraf), terutama spina bifida (tulang belakang tidak menutup sempurna) dan anencepali (otak janin tidak terbentuk). Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui gambaran pengetahuan ibu hamil tentang manfaat asam folat dalam kehamilan di Rumah Sakit Haji Medan. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah survei deskriptif. Populasi yang digunakan adalah ibu – ibu hamil yang berkunjung ke Poliklinik Ibu Hamil RS Haji Medan dan diambil sampel sebanyak 74 orang. Sampel diambil dengan menggunakan metode Nonprobabillty Sampling dengan jenis sampel jenuh dimana semua anggota populasi menjadi sampel. .Penelitian ini menggunakan instrumen berupa kuesioner. Dari hasil penelitian didapat bahwa responden dengan pengetahuan baik memiliki persentase yang baik yaitu 55.40%, pengetahuan cukup 35.14% dan pengetahuan kurang 9.46 %. Kesimpulan dari penelitian tersebut didapat bahwa dalam hal pengetahuan ibu hamil tentang manfaat asam folat dalam kehamilan termaksud dalam kategori baik. Saran yang bisa diberikan adalah lebih ditingkatkan lagi program penyuluhan gizi bagi ibu hamil dan perlunya keterlibatan keluarga (suami, orangtua ataupun mertua) dalam menjaga nutrisi ibu hamil.

Life experience is what makes us who we are. I started my career in academia as a fieldwork coordinator in fall 2013, so I learned quickly that securing traditional fieldwork sites can be difficult. I am certainly a fan of faculty led fieldwork and have used this approach. In spring 2017, I was excited to find out that I was expecting my first baby however in the summer of 2017, at the 20-week anatomy ultrasound, my excitement turned to tears as we found out our baby had a Neural Tube Defect (NTD) and the most severe type of spina bifida (myelomeningocele). I was then introduced as to what I call the “spina bifida underworld” private pages for moms who were considering fetal surgery, moms who had fetal surgery, moms who had post-natal repair, pages called united by spina bifida, blogs from various individuals with spina bifida etc., I have personally found these pages to be a wealth of knowledge and have made many friends in unexpected places.
