damage to the brain (pip) or post natally due to ingestion of too much of a foreign agent

Back 12

intoxication

Front 13

retention of salt leading to increased BP and retention of fluids resulting in harm to the baby

toxemia (intoxication)

Front 14

due to ingestion of too much alcohol during pregnancy. have low birth weight with unique facial features such as "Hachet Faced"

Back 14

Fetal Alchol Syndrome (intoxication)

Front 15

poisioning that leads to low birth weight, premature, "at risk" for "failure to thrive"

smoking/nicotine intoxication

Front 16

presence of bile in blood stream, very mild cases seen as "jaundice". If allowed to progress will become quite serious. Many times related to blood incompatiblility between Mother and baby

postnatal testing (trauma or physical agent)

Front 23

m.r. related to disturbances in metabolism

Back 23

usually congenital and may be ethnic specific

Front 24

high level of lipids deposited in tissues, nerves, brain, and blood due to inability to metabolize because of absence of enzyme

Back 24

lipid storage disorders (metabolism)

Front 25

incidence in Jewish people of European decent. Due to lack of specific enzyme, fat is stored in nerve and brain cells. Death by 18 months old

Back 25

Tay-Sachs disease (metabolism)

Front 26

poor breakdown of carbohydrates due to defective enzymes, get interference of brain metabolism due to inadequate supply of glucose of high level of it

Back 26

carbohydrate metabolism disorders (metabolism)
