Extractions: In association with Amazon.com Obstetric Ultrasound is the use of ultrasound scans in pregnancy. Since its introduction in the late 1950s ultrasonography has become a very useful diagnostic tool in Obstetrics. Currently used equipments are known as real-time scanners, with which a continous picture of the moving fetus can be depicted on a monitor screen. Very high frequency sound waves of between 3.5 to 7.0 megahertz (i.e. 3.5 to 7 million cycles per second) are generally used for this purpose. They are emitted from a transducer which is placed in contact with the maternal abdomen, and is moved to "look at" (likened to a light shined from a torch) any particular content of the uterus. Repetitive arrays of ultrasound beams scan the fetus in thin slices and are reflected back onto the same transducer. The information obtained from different reflections are recomposed back into a picture on the monitor screen (a sonogram, or ultrasonogram). Movements such as fetal heart beat and malformations in the feus can be assessed and measurements can be made accurately on the images displayed on the screen. Such measurements form the cornerstone in the assessment of gestational age, size and growth in the fetus.

Zinc Deficiency And Development in patients with the syndrome of anemia, hepatosplenomegaly, dwarfism, and hypogonadism. SimmerK, Thompson R. Maternal zinc and intrauterine growth retardation http://www.iza.com/zhe_org/Articles/Art-02.htm
Extractions: e-mail: hsandste@UTMB.edu In 1961 Prasad, Halsted and Nadimi (1) reported a syndrome of iron deficiency anemia, stunting, hypogonadism, and hepatosplenomegaly in Iranian farmers.They speculated that zinc deficiency was the cause of the stunting and delayed development. This was counter to the existing paradigm that held human zinc deficiency was highly unlikely because zinc is ubiquitous. Subsequent research in Egypt (2-6), Iran (7-10) confirmed their hypothesis, and with data from experiments in animals (11, 12) provided the basis for the hypothesis that maternal zinc deficiency contributes to the high prevalence of teratology in the region (13). The common causes of zinc deficiency are low dietary intakes and low bioavailability. Red meat is the best common source of bioavailable zinc (98,99). Therefore individuals who do not consume this food on a regular basis are at risk of zinc deficiency, just as they are of iron deficiency (100, 101). In addition similar factors affect the bioavailabilty of zinc (7, 102-111) and iron (112-114). Therefore it seemed likely that dietary zinc and iron deficiencies might be associated.

Diet and Cancer The Spectrum of Malnutrition TOP A range of other specific nutritional deficiency diseases often related to distinct population groups, including: Malnutrition thus covers a broad spectrum of ills, including undernutrition, specific nutrient deficiencies, and overnutrition; and it kills, maims, retards, cripples, blinds, and impairs human development on a truly massive scale worldwide. Despite significant improvements in world food supplies, health conditions, and availability of educational and social services, because of the fundamental role nutrition plays in attaining and preserving health, no population escapes malnutrition's grasp. All countries have significant population groups with some form of debilitating malnutrition. Its consequences are of enormous significance, even in terms of mortality alone. In the developing world in 1995, of the estimated 10.4 million deaths among children under 5 years of age, protein-energy malnutrition was associated and causative factor in 5.1 million of these deaths (ie 49%).
