[Incidence of congenital malformations among births of foreign workers (author's transl)]. 1981

R Spernol, and M Endler, and A Schaller

From 1967 to 1972 7.83% of the parturients delivered at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology II of the University of Vienna were foreign workers. From 1972 to 1978 the part of the foreign workers come to 21.31%. From 1967 to 1972 there was a highly significant prevalence of so-called "non-viable malformations" (p less than 0,001) among foreign workers and "severe external malformations" were significantly more common at the 5% level. In the period from 1972 to 1978 these differences were no longer as pronounced. Statistical significance was not reached for the so-called "non-viable malformations" in the period from 1972 to 1978. Only dysrhaphism continued to be significantly more common at the 1+ level. Among these malformations incomplete ventral fusion was significantly more frequent at the 5%.

D009436 Neural Tube Defects Congenital malformations of the central nervous system and adjacent structures related to defective neural tube closure during the first trimester of pregnancy generally occurring between days 18-29 of gestation. Ectodermal and mesodermal malformations (mainly involving the skull and vertebrae) may occur as a result of defects of neural tube closure.

D004314 Down Syndrome A chromosome disorder associated either with an extra CHROMOSOME 21 or an effective TRISOMY for chromosome 21. Clinical manifestations include HYPOTONIA, short stature, BRACHYCEPHALY, upslanting palpebral fissures, epicanthus, Brushfield spots on the iris, protruding tongue, small ears, short, broad hands, fifth finger clinodactyly, single transverse palmar crease, and moderate to severe INTELLECTUAL DISABILITY. Cardiac and gastrointestinal malformations, a marked increase in the incidence of LEUKEMIA, and the early onset of ALZHEIMER DISEASE are also associated with this condition. Pathologic features include the development of NEUROFIBRILLARY TANGLES in neurons and the deposition of AMYLOID BETA-PROTEIN, similar to the pathology of ALZHEIMER DISEASE.
