One researcher notes that the supine position (lying on the back) may
contribute significantly to hypotension and FHR
abnormalities when an epidural is in place.73 Another found that the supine position (plus epidural) was associated
with a significant decrease in the oxygen supply to the baby's brain (fetal cerebral oxygenation).74
Given the considerable birth defects that are associated
with this condition, the researchers argue it is very possible that developmental
abnormalities contributed towards the eventual extinction of these late Pleistocene rhinos.
A new study performed in the Netherlands has linked exposure to residential air pollution during fetal life
with brain
abnormalities that may
contribute to impaired cognitive function in school - age children.
The study showed that these brain
abnormalities contribute in part to difficulty
with inhibitory control — the ability to regulate self - control over temptations and impulsive behavior — which is related to mental health problems such as addictive behavior and attention - deficit / hyperactivity disorder.
Researchers said their evidence further strengthens the concept that transportation noise
contributes to the development of heart disease risk factors such as hypertension and diabetes because noise is associated
with oxidative stress, vascular dysfunction, autonomic imbalance and metabolic
abnormalities.
Indeed, at least in part, the
abnormalities in homologous recombination deficiency have
contributed to the very outstanding responses to platinum therapy and very striking new data
with PARP (poly [ADP - ribose] polymerase) inhibitors.
A person
with insulin resistance will divert a greater proportion of dietary carbohydrate to the liver where much of it is converted to fat (that is, de novo lipogenesis), as opposed to being oxidized for energy in skeletal muscle.30 Although Hellerstein31 has recently reported that de novo lipogenesis
contributes only ∼ 20 % of new triglycerides, this greater conversion of dietary carbohydrate into fat, much of it entering the circulation as saturated fat, is a metabolic
abnormality that significantly increases risk for diabetes and heart disease.
Dental
abnormalities can interfere
with digestion, cause colic, create chronic jaw and neck stiffness and may
contribute to lameness.
Common possible underlying musculoskeletal
abnormalities that may
contribute to PL include torsion and / or bowing of the distal femur, tibial deformity, displacement and / or atrophy of the quadriceps, femoral epiphyseal dysplasia, shallow trochlear groove
with hypoplastic or absent trochlear ridges, hip dysplasia, and rotational instability of the stifle joint.4, 5
Other
contributing factors include the age and condition of the animal, injury or physical obstruction from deformed or oversized eggs, physical
abnormalities with the reproductive tract or pelvis, infections, constipation, abscesses or masses.
