Birth defects are structural changes present at birth that can affect almost any part or parts of the body (. heart, brain, foot). They may affect how the body looks, works, or both. Birth defects can vary from mild to severe. The well-being of each child affected with a birth defect depends mostly on which organ or body part is involved and how much it is affected. Depending on the severity of the defect and what body part is affected, the expected lifespan of a person with a birth defect may or may not be affected. Identifying Birth Defects. For some birth defects, like fetal alcohol syndrome, we know the cause. But for most birth defects, we don’t know what causes them. For most birth defects, we think they are caused by a complex mix of factors. These factors include our genes (information inherited from our parents), our behaviors, and things in the environment.

Craniofacial defects are caused by the abnormal growth or development of the head and/or facial bones while the baby is growing inside the mother. The most common defects of the face are cleft lip and cleft palate. Other defects may involve the ears, eyes, and jaw. Craniofacial defects that affect the skull include a skull that is too large (macrocephaly) or too small (microcephaly). Sometimes the bands of tissue that connect the bones of the skull (called sutures) close too early (craniosynostosis). Hip and joint defects include developmental dysplasia of the hip and knee dislocation

Craniofacial defects are caused by the abnormal growth or development of the head and/or facial bones while the baby is growing inside the mother. The Manual was first published in 1899 as a service to the community. The legacy of this great resource continues as the Merck Manual in the US and Canada and the MSD Manual in the remainder of the world.

Neural tube defects (NTDs) are a group of birth defects in which an opening in the spinal cord or brain remains from early in human development. In the third week of pregnancy called gastrulation, specialized cells on the dorsal side of the embryo begin to change shape and form the neural tube. When the neural tube does not close completely, an NTD develops.

Bones muscles and joints. Foot care - podiatrists. Heart defects can develop while in the uterus. If the heart and blood vessels fail to grow properly during fetal development, this may cause: Blockages that prevent blood flow around the heart and arteries. Blood to travel abnormally through the heart (for instance, across ‘holes’ in the walls that separate the two sides of the heart). Other birth defects – a baby affected by certain birth defects, such as Down syndrome, is more likely to have malformations of the heart.

Bones and Joints - Cartilage - Ligaments - Tendons. Biological Conflict Conflict-Active Phase Healing Phase. DEVELOPMENT AND FUNCTION OF THE BONES AND JOINTS: The skeletal system includes all bones and joints of the human body. Most bones of the limbs contain mainly yellow bone marrow composed for the most part of fat. However, if the body suffers large amounts of blood loss, yellow marrow is converted into red bone marrow to ensure blood cell production. NOTE: According to the standard view, during the fetal development, the liver and the spleen are the sites of the formation of blood cells, which would be later replaced by the bone marrow. Based on this theory, it is assumed that the liver and spleen take over the blood production in the event that the bone marrow is not able to produce blood. Dr. Hamer: To me, this seems incorrect in some respects.
