perinatal

Examples of perinatal in the following topics:

• Autism Spectrum Disorder

  • These risk factors include genetics, prenatal and perinatal factors, neuroanatomical abnormalities, and environmental factors.
  • A number of prenatal and perinatal complications have been reported as possible risk factors for ASD.

• The TORCH Panel of Tests

  • TORCH complex is a medical acronym for a set of perinatal infections (which are infections passed from a pregnant woman to her fetus).

• Teratogens

  • Smoking is most likely to cause growth retardation, but has also been implicated in prelabor rupture of the membranes, preterm labor, abruption of the placenta, spontaneous abortion, perinatal morbidity and mortality, and sudden infant death syndrome.

• HIV and AIDS

  • The three main transmission routes of HIV are sexual contact, exposure to infected body fluids or tissues, and from mother to fetus during the perinatal period.

• Portals of Exit

  • The second is vertical disease transmission – passing a disease causing agent vertically from parent to offspring, such as through perinatal transmission.

• Adjustments of the Infant at Birth

• Genetic and Environmental Impacts on Intelligence

  • Exposure to toxins and other perinatal factors have also been proven to affect intelligence, and in some cases, cause issues such as developmental delays.
