Today is World Birth Defects Day. A reminder that every child’s story is one of strength, and every family’s journey carries both hope and emotional weight. Alongside medical care, mental health support remains essential. No one should navigate it alone. 💙 #WorldBirthDefectsDay
Today, on #WorldBirthDefectsDay, we recognize both the progress made in newborn survival—and the urgent gaps that remain.
Help us ensure every child born with #clubfoot receives the treatment they need to thrive. Learn more: www.miraclefeet.org/about-us

Today I hold space for the fragile and the fierce — bodies that begin differently, families asking for better care, and systems that should do more. Tender eyes, no judgment; push for health that’s fair and humane. 🤍🩺✨ #3March #WorldBirthDefectsDay

Burden of Congenital CMV Infection: A Narrative Review and Implications for Public Health Interventions
doi.org/10.3390/v160...
I haven't seen Dr. Hotez here yet, so I will paraphrase a post from him today. It is #WorldBirthDefectsDay, and infectious diseases contribute to the global burden of birth defects.
We have vaccines to prevent rubella and varicella - maybe CMV soon.

Today is #WorldBirthDefectsDay 👣
Every three minutes, a baby is born with clubfoot. Yet, 85% of newborns in low- and middle-income countries do not have access to proper treatment.
MiracleFeet is on a mission to change that. 💜
Today is #WorldBirthDefectsDay, a time to raise awareness & support families affected worldwide.

Advanced imaging techniques may be hampered by geometric distortion artifacts arising at air–tissue interfaces. This is made worse by the need to run highly efficient EPI-based read-outs for diffusion MRI, functional MRI, and multi-echo gradient echo sequences for T2* relaxometry, which leads to an increasing need for specialist image-based shimming techniques. Further challenges include B1 inhomogeneity-related artifacts enhanced by the presence of amniotic fluid, and SAR limitations resulting in inefficiencies in the sequences. Both B0 and B1 inhomogeneities increase with higher field strengths. Therefore, lower field strengths reduce both the impact of the aforementioned artifacts and the need for specialist correction tools. While comfort and space are paramount for any patient undergoing an MRI scan, pregnant women in the later weeks of pregnancy present a population where space and comfort is both particularly important and challenging to achieve in a standard-sized MRI bore. In addition, the number of obese pregnant women is rising – with 24% of all pregnant women in the UK and U.S. considered obese as of 2020. This presents a currently underserved population that could benefit from fetal MRI, as these women often do not receive adequate prenatal imaging due in part to the detrimental effect of increased abdominal fat on ultrasound imaging. Finally, a field strength-independent challenge concerns unpredictable and uncontrollable fetal motion, especially in early-to-mid gestation when fetuses have enough space for large displacements. This can be particularly problematic for fetal functional MRI modalities, which rely on the acquisition of the same slice location multiple times in a time-series format, to then be combined for spatiotemporal analysis. Both post-processing base techniques such as slice-to-volume registration (SVR) and prospective motion-correction techniques based on localization and tracking may be employed at low field strengths.
