Neural tube defects are birth defects that result from the failure of the neural tube to close properly during early embryonic development. The most common types are spina bifida, anencephaly, and encephalocele. Prevention focuses on women getting adequate folic acid before and during early pregnancy. Treatment depends on the specific type of defect but may involve surgery to repair the opening and protect the exposed tissues, management of any related conditions like hydrocephalus, and lifelong care for resulting physical, neurological, and functional impairments. Prognosis depends on the severity of the defect and can include permanent disability.
This document discusses neural tube defects (NTDs), including spina bifida, anencephaly, and encephalocele. It describes the normal embryonic development of the neural tube and causes of NTDs, which can include genetic and environmental factors like folic acid deficiency. Management involves prenatal screening, surgical repair after birth, lifelong treatment of symptoms like paralysis, and prevention through folic acid supplementation before and during pregnancy. Children with NTDs may experience permanent disabilities and require ongoing monitoring and support.
Spina bifida is a birth defect where the spinal cord fails to close properly, leaving it exposed. There are three main types: spina bifida occulta, which has no protrusion and is usually asymptomatic; meningocele, which involves protrusion of meninges and cerebrospinal fluid in a sac; and myelomeningocele, the most severe form, which involves protrusion of spinal cord and nerves. Treatment involves surgery to close the defect as well as management of any related conditions like hydrocephalus or paralysis. Parents are counseled and trained to care for the child's lifelong needs.

This document discusses several types of neural tube defects including anencephaly, myelomeningocele (spina bifida), and meningocele. It covers the pathophysiology, clinical presentation, diagnostic evaluation, management including surgical repair, and long term prognosis of those affected. Prevention through adequate folic acid intake before and during early pregnancy is also discussed.
Neural tube defects are birth defects of the brain, spine, or spinal cord. They happen in the first month of pregnancy, often before a woman even knows that she is pregnant. The two most common neural tube defects are spina bifida and anencephaly.
Meningomyelocoele is the most severe type of spina bifida where the meninges and spinal cord protrude through an opening in the spine. It occurs due to failure of the neural tube to close during the third week of gestation. Symptoms include paralysis of the lower limbs, bladder and bowel dysfunction, and cognitive impairments. Treatment requires multidisciplinary care and focuses on preventing infections, promoting urinary function, and managing complications through surgery, medications, bracing and rehabilitation.

This document discusses spina bifida, a developmental disease of the spinal cord caused by the incomplete closure of the neural tube during early embryonic development. It begins by describing the normal embryological development of the nervous system. There are two main types of spina bifida - spina bifida cystica (open type) and spina bifida occulta (closed type). Diagnosis involves prenatal testing and imaging. Treatment involves surgical closure of the opening and may include installation of a shunt. Complications can include neurological issues that are monitored and treated.
Neural tube defects occur when the neural tube fails to close properly during early fetal development, between the 22nd and 28th day of gestation. This can result in abnormalities of the brain and spinal cord. Some examples of neural tube defects include anencephaly, spina bifida, encephaloceles, and craniorachischisis. Anencephaly is a severe neural tube defect where the brain is either partially or completely absent. Low folic acid intake before and during early pregnancy increases the risk. There is no cure or standard treatment for anencephaly and affected babies usually die shortly after birth.

Storyboard on Acne-Innovative Learning-M. pharm. (2nd sem.) CosmeticsMuskanShingari
Acne is a common skin condition that occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells. It typically manifests as pimples, blackheads, or whiteheads, often on the face, chest, shoulders, or back. Acne can range from mild to severe and may cause emotional distress and scarring in some cases.
**Causes:**
1. **Excess Oil Production:** Hormonal changes during adolescence or certain times in adulthood can increase sebum (oil) production, leading to clogged pores.
2. **Clogged Pores:** When dead skin cells and oil block hair follicles, bacteria (usually Propionibacterium acnes) can thrive, causing inflammation and acne lesions.
3. **Hormonal Factors:** Fluctuations in hormone levels, such as during puberty, menstrual cycles, pregnancy, or certain medical conditions, can contribute to acne.
4. **Genetics:** A family history of acne can increase the likelihood of developing the condition.
**Types of Acne:**
- **Whiteheads:** Closed plugged pores.
- **Blackheads:** Open plugged pores with a dark surface.
- **Papules:** Small red, tender bumps.
- **Pustules:** Pimples with pus at their tips.
- **Nodules:** Large, solid, painful lumps beneath the surface.
- **Cysts:** Painful, pus-filled lumps beneath the surface that can cause scarring.
**Treatment:**
Treatment depends on the severity and type of acne but may include:
- **Topical Treatments:** Such as benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, or retinoids to reduce bacteria and unclog pores.
- **Oral Medications:** Antibiotics or oral contraceptives for hormonal acne.
- **Procedures:** Such as chemical peels, extraction of comedones, or light therapy for more severe cases.
**Prevention and Management:**
- **Cleanse:** Regularly wash skin with a gentle cleanser.
- **Moisturize:** Use non-comedogenic moisturizers to keep skin hydrated without clogging pores.
- **Avoid Irritants:** Such as harsh cosmetics or excessive scrubbing.
- **Sun Protection:** Use sunscreen to prevent exacerbation of acne scars and inflammation.
Acne treatment can take time, and consistency in skincare routines and treatments is crucial. Consulting a dermatologist can help tailor a treatment plan that suits individual needs and reduces the risk of scarring or long-term skin damage.

Skin is the largest organ of the human body, serving crucial functions that include protection, sensation, regulation, and synthesis. Structurally, it consists of three main layers: the epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis (subcutaneous layer).
1. **Epidermis**: The outermost layer primarily composed of epithelial cells called keratinocytes. It provides a protective barrier against environmental factors, pathogens, and UV radiation.
2. **Dermis**: Located beneath the epidermis, the dermis contains connective tissue, blood vessels, hair follicles, and sweat glands. It plays a vital role in supporting and nourishing the epidermis, regulating body temperature, and housing sensory receptors for touch, pressure, temperature, and pain.
3. **Hypodermis**: Also known as the subcutaneous layer, it consists of fat and connective tissue that anchors the skin to underlying structures like muscles and bones. It provides insulation, cushioning, and energy storage.
Skin performs essential functions such as regulating body temperature through sweat production and blood flow control, synthesizing vitamin D when exposed to sunlight, and serving as a sensory interface with the external environment.
Maintaining skin health is crucial for overall well-being, involving proper hygiene, hydration, protection from sun exposure, and avoiding harmful substances. Skin conditions and diseases range from minor irritations to chronic disorders, emphasizing the importance of regular care and medical attention when needed.

This presentation gives information on the pharmacology of Prostaglandins, Thromboxanes and Leukotrienes i.e. Eicosanoids. Eicosanoids are signaling molecules derived from polyunsaturated fatty acids like arachidonic acid. They are involved in complex control over inflammation, immunity, and the central nervous system. Eicosanoids are synthesized through the enzymatic oxidation of fatty acids by cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase enzymes. They have short half-lives and act locally through autocrine and paracrine signaling.

form neural tube during the first 28 days
following conception .
Neural tube defects (NTDs) are one of the
most common birth defects, occurring in
approximately one in 1000 live births in the
United States.
13. NEURAL TUBE DEVELOPMENT
Normal
embryological
development
Neural plate
development -
18th day
Cranial closure
24th day (upper
spine)
Caudal closure
26th day (lower
spine)
20. SPINA BIFIDA OCCULTA
Symbtoms :
Difficulties controlling bowel or bladder .
weakness and numbness in the feet
recurrent ulceration .
neurological deficits increase with
growth.
Signs :
Overlying skin lesion :
tuft hair - lipoma - birth mark or small
dermal sinus
Usually in the lumbar region .
23. MYELOMENINGOCELE
The spinal cord and nerve roots herniate into
a sac comprising the meninges.
This sac protrudes through the bone and
musculocutaneous defect.
24. CLINICAL MALFORMATIONS
Hydrocephalus
Impaired cognitive Development
Chiari II malformation
Paralysis
Ortho problems – Scoliosis, kyphosis, hip dislocation,
joint deformities, club foot, weak bones
Nervous System problems – weakness, back
pain & leg pain
Bladder or bowel problems
Kidney damage or tethered cord
28. NURSING MANAGEMENT
Prevention of infection:
Avoid positioning on back
Observe the sac frequently for CSF leakage
Avoid contamination by urine and feces
Avoid placing diaper or cloth over sac
Keep buttocks and genitalia clean
Apply sterile gauze pad or towel or sterile moistened dressing
over the sac
Monitor for any oozing of fluid or pus
Fever
Irritability
Listlessness
Seizure
29. NURSING MANAGEMENT
Maintaining cerebral tissue perfusion:
Monitor for signs of hydrocephalous
- irritability
- feeding difficulty
- vomitting
- decreased appetite
- temperature fluctuation
- decreased alertness
- tense fontanelle
- increased head circumference
30. NURSING MANAGEMENT
Promoting Urinary Elimination:
Apply firm pressure to abdomen from
umbilical area to symphysis pubis
Ensure fluid intake to dilute the urine
Prophylactic antibiotics
Monitor for concentrated or foul smelling
urine
35. ARNOLD CHIARI MALFORMATION
Herniation of the cerebellar tonsils
through the foramen magnum .
cerebellar hypoplasia .
caudal displacement
of the hindbrain through .
the foramen magnum .
usually associated with
Hydrocephalus .
36. ARNOLD CHIARI MALFORMATION
Hydrocephalus .
Cranial Nerve Palsies .
Visual Deficits .
Pressure from the enlarged ventricles
affecting adjacent brain structures .
Cognitive and perceptual problems.
Motor dysfunction .
38. MENINGOCELE
Fluid-filled sac with meninges involved but
neural tissue unaffected .
The spinal cord and nerve roots do not
herniate into this dorsal dural sac.
The primary problems with this deformity are
cosmetic
39. MENINGOCELE
Neonates with a meningocele usually have
normal findings upon physical examination
and a covered (closed) dural sac.
Neonates with meningocele do not have
associated neurologic malformations such as
hydrocephalus or Chiari II.
May complicted by CSF infection.
40. LIPOMENINGOCELE
Lipomeningocele
(lipo = fat)
lipoma or fatty tumor
located over the
lumbosacral spine.
Associated with bowel
& bladder dysfunction
Lipomeningocele
41. PROGNOSIS OF SPINA BIFIDA
o static
o non-progressive defect
o with worsening from secondary problems.
- The prognosis for a normal life span is generally
good for a child with good health habits and a
supportive family/caregiver.
42. IMPAIRMENTS ASSOCIATED WITH SPINA BIFIDA
Abnormal eye movement
Pressure sore and skin irritations.
Latex allergy.
Bladder and bowel control problems
musculoskeletal deformities (scoliosis).
joint and extremity deformities (joint
contractures, club foot, hip
subluxations, diminished growth of non-
weight bearing limbs)
Osteoporosis.
tethered spinal cord after surgery .
44. ANENCEPHALY
Failure of development of most of the
cranium and brain.
Infants are born without the main part of
the forebrain-the largest part of the
cerebrum.
45. The fetus usually blind, deaf and unconscious .
partially destroyed brain, deformed
forehead, and large ears and eyes with
often relatively normal lower facial
structures.
Both genetic and environmental insults
appear to be responsible for this
outcome.
The defect normally occurs after neural
fold development at day 16 of gestation
but before closure of the anterior
neuropore at 24-26 days' gestation.
46. ANENCEPHALY
Anencephaly is the most common
major CNS malformation in the Western
world,
no neonates survive. It is seen 37 times
more in females than in males.
The recurrence rate in families can be as
high as 35%.
47. ANENCEPHALY
Symptoms
Mom- Polyhydramnios
Baby- absence of brain/skull
Diagnosis
Ultrasound
Treatment
None, incompatible with life
Management
Comfort Measures
Support Parents
48. ENCEPHALOCELE
Extrusion of brain and
meninges through a
midline
Skull defect .
- Often associated with
cerebral malformation
49. DIAGNOSIS AND DETECTION
Amniocentesis
AFP - indication of abnormal leakage
Blood test
Maternal blood samples of AFP
Ultrasonography
For locating back lesion vs. cranial signs

Examination of the head & neck :
Anterior Fontanel : wide bulging
Separated suture .
Dilated scalp vein .
Setting sun eye sign .
May be neck stiffness .
55. Examination of cranial nerve .
Examination of the back:
Inspection for deformity , scar, bulging( size, content)
pressure sores and skin irritations
sensation .
Examination of lower limps :
Inspection for deformity, muscle bulk .
Exam for tone and power (maybe paralysis)
Reflex and sensation ,
Gait .
Remember : urinary and bowel sphincters (maybe affected)
58. Treatment of mylomenigocele
- Genetic counseling may be recommended. In some cases where
severe defect is detected early in the pregnancy, a therapeutic
abortion may be considered
After birth - surgery to repair the defect is usually recommended
at an early age. Before surgery, the infant must be handled
carefully to reduce damage to the exposed spinal cord. This may
include special care and positioning, protective devices, and
changes in the methods of handling, feeding, and bathing.
59. Hydrocephalus:
- Children who also have hydrocephalus may
need a ventricular peritoneal shunt
This will help drain the extra fluid
- Antibiotics may be used to treat or prevent
infections such as meningitis or urinary tract
infections
60. Most children will require lifelong treatment for problems that result from
damage to the spinal cord and spinal nerves. This includes :
- Gentle downward pressure over the bladder may help drain the bladder.
In severe cases, drainage tubes, called catheters, may be needed.
Bowel training programs and a high fiber diet may improve bowel
function
- Orthopedic or physical therapy may be needed to treat musculoskeletal
symptoms. Braces may be needed for muscle and joint problems
- Neurological losses are treated according to the type and severity of
function loss
61. - Follow-up examinations generally continue
throughout the child's life. These are done to
check the child's developmental level and to
treat any intellectual, neurological, or
physical problems
62. Treatment of menigocele
The key priorities in the treatment of
meningocele are to prevent infection from
developing through the tissue of the defect
on the spine and to protect the exposed
structures from additional trauma. Most
children with meningocele are treated with
surgery (within the first few days of life) to
close the defect and to prevent infection or
further trauma
63. Management of spina bifida occulta
- can remove fat or fibrous tissues which are
affecting the functioning of the spinal cord
- can drain syrinxes or cysts in the spinal canal
to reduce pressure on the spinal cord and
- can be performed on the legs or feet to
improve their functioning
64. General management
- braces, supports and corrective casts
- physiotherapy to improve physical strength and coordination
- therapeutic strategies for improving mobility
- surgical care
- medical strategies for improving bladder and bowel functioning :
intermittent catheterization
voiding and cleansing routines
medications
diet with adequate fiber and fluids
possible surgical reconstruction (urinary)
- psychological strategies for personal and social adjustment
medications
65. SUMMERY :
Prevention
folic acid 0.4 mg daily pre, 1 mg daily preg

66. HOW CAN NTDS BE PREVENTED?
All women of childbearing age should receive
0.4 mg (400 micrograms) of folic acid daily prior
to conception of planned or unplanned
pregnancies and continue thru 1st trimester
Women with a history of NTD and should
receive daily supplementation of (4000
micrograms) of folic acid starting three months
prior to conception and continuing thru the 1st
trimester
