This study was carried out in order to find out the incidence of congenital anomalies in Bahrain. Statistics of the Bahraini Ministry of Health for 11 years from 1980 to 1990 were studied. The overall incidence rate of congenital anomalies in Bahrain was found to be 2. 7% of live births. Each anomaly was studied separately and compared with the incidence in other countries, whenever possible. It was found that anomalies of the musculoskeletal system have the highest incidence [2. 28 per 1000] , followed by the genitourinary system [2. 13 per 1000] , while the incidence of chromosomal disorders was 0. 9 per 1000

Data of RF Health Ministry official statistics, Federal Genetic Register and Congenital Defects Monitoring Center, and St. Petersburg Diagnostic (Medical Genetic) Center were analyzed. It is stated that within XVII Class of ICD-10 “Congenital abnormalities (developmental defects), deformities and chromosomal disorders” congenital malformations (developmental defects) and musculoskeletal system (MSS) deformities make up 20 - 22% and handicapped children account for 25 - 28%. The rate of MSS abnormalities diagnosed in maternity hospitals is 4.0 - 4.4 per 1000 of newborns. Rate and structure of MSS malformations in newborns and handicapped children was studied and compared. The number of handicapped children with various forms of MSS congenital developmental defects changes with age that reflects both progression of disease and deformity relapse as well as treatment efficacy. Rate indices and data on the structures of various forms of congenital developmental defects may be used for disability prognostication when planning the requirements in treatment and rehabilitation.

A tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) is a communication that is congenital or acquired between the trachea and esophagus. The reported incidence of TEF or esophageal atresia (EA) is roughly one to two per 5,000 live births. The first successful surgery for TEF was in 1939. Presently, owing to progress in surgical techniques, neonatal intensive care, and neonatal anesthesia, the majority of neonates with a TEF/EA who do not have severe associated congenital anomalies are expected to have satisfactory outcomes. Coexisting congenital abnormalities occur in 30 to 50% of patients with TEF/EA. Congenital anomalies are more common in patients with isolated esophageal atresia (65%) compared with isolated tracheoesophageal fistula (10%).

Crossbred Cow

The udder is a very important organ and has economic value in dairy cattle. Though highly vulnerable to various disease conditions, e.g. mastitis, congenital anomalies in the udder are of rare occurrence (Dandale et al., 2013). Congenital abnormalities of the mammary system in cows comprise absence of teats, glands, supernumerary teats and imperforate teats. Absence of teat is extremely rare, but isolated cases in which the teats were only represented by slight eminences have been met with (O’ Connor, 1980). Athelia was reported in buffaloes by Sailendra and Sandhya (1998) and Vidyasagar (2009) and in a Japanese black heifer by Ghanem et al. (2011). In the present paper, a rare case of athelia in a Jersey crossbred cow and its therapeutic management by permanent cessation of lactation is reported.

Abstract We conducted a nationwide surveillance study to produce reliable national estimates on incidence, etiology, and mortality of early-onset neonatal sepsis (EONS) in Suriname. The estimated national population incidence rate of EONS was 1.37 (95% CI: 0.90–1.99) per 1000 live births and in-hospital mortality was 25.9%.

Multiple Congenital Abnormalities

The clinical findings are described in three siblings with a syndrome of microcephaly and multiple congenital abnormalities. All three infants had congenital anomalies of the limbs, described as flexion deformities. Infant 2 showed atrophic gyri and absence of the corpus callosum, with atrophy of cerebrum, cerebellum, and pons. Infant 2 exhibited unusual canine facies. Chromosomal studies were normal on infant 3 (leucocyte and skin cultures). Leucocyte cultures from the mother and father revealed no cytogenetic abnormality.

A study was conducted to investigate the magnitude, nature and associated risk factors of major congenital anomalies [MCAs]at birth in Benghazi, Libyan Arab Jamahiriya in 1995. The incidence of MCAs was 7.4 per 1000 live births and 9.3 per 1000 total births. The rate was higher in summer, in babies born to mothers over 40 years and low-birth-weight babies or those born preterm or post-term. In 56.1% of cases there were multiple congenital anomalies and > two-thirds of the major congenital anomalies were chromosomal, musculoskeletal or of the central nervous system. The incidence of perinatal death in births with MCAs was 49.1% compared with 2.7% for all births
