“…During pregnancy, vitamin A is important for cell division, growth, and maturation of fetal organ and skeletal systems. It is also important for the development and maintenance of the immune and visual systems [1,2,3]. Taking that into consideration, the occurrence of pregnancy during adolescence can be particularly preoccupying, because in addition to the extra supply of nutrients necessary for the development of the fetus, the adolescent mother should receive sufficient and adequate nutrition for her own physical growth and physiological development [4].…”

Serum Retinol Levels in Pregnant Adolescents and Their Relationship with Habitual Food Intake, Infection and Obstetric, Nutritional and Socioeconomic Variables

Globally, vitamin A deficiency (VAD) affects about 19.1 million pregnant women. Its occurrence is classically associated with inadequate food intake and may also be associated with socioeconomic factors and the presence of infection. The aim of this study was to determine the factors related to serum retinol levels among pregnant teenagers. The sample consisted of 89 pregnant adolescents, from whom socioeconomic, obstetric, anthropometric, and food consumption data were collected. Serum concentrations of retinol and the supposed presence of infection were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography and C-reactive protein quantification, respectively. The serum retinol concentrations were classified according to the criteria of the World Health Organization. We adopted a 5% significance level for all statistical tests. Serum retinol levels were significantly and positively associated with sanitation (p = 0.008) and pre-gestational nutritional status (p = 0.002), and negatively with the trimester (p = 0.001). The appropriate sanitation conditions and pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) were shown to have a protective effect against VAD. Conversely, serum retinol levels were reduced with trimester progression, favoring VAD occurrence.

“…These pre-muscle cells express adhesion molecules that are essential to their adequate distribution throughout the limb. 7 The presence of additional slips from the BA and the variant origin of the FCR from the BA may indicate changes in the formation and structure of the myotome of a somite or in the distribution of cell adhesion molecules on pre-muscle cells. 6,7 Several anomalous anatomic variations of the cubital region of the arm have been previously described in the literature.…”

“…It is not known what causes this retraction, but an increase in the size of the abdominal cavity and a relatively decrease in the size of the liver and kidneys seem to play an important role. To reach the definitive configuration of the small and large intestines, the intestinal loop rotates another 180°counter-clockwise [32][33][34]. Following this intricate growth, looping and rotation of the gut, intestinal patterning and regionalization takes place.…”

Congenital Short Bowel Syndrome (CSBS) is a rare gastrointestinal disorder in which the mean length of the small intestine is substantially reduced when compared to its normal counterpart. Families with several affected members have been described and CSBS has been suggested to have a genetic basis. Recently, our group found mutations in CLMP as the cause of the recessive form of CSBS, and mutations in FLNA as the cause of the X-linked form of the disease. These findings have improved the quality of genetic counselling for CSBS patients and made prenatal diagnostics possible. Moreover, they provided a reliable starting point to further investigate the pathogenesis of CSBS, and to better understand the development of the small intestine. In this review, we present our current knowledge on CSBS and discuss hypotheses on how the recent genetic findings can help understand the cause of CSBS.
