Impact of Social Vulnerability on Long-Term Growth Outcomes in Sutureless Versus Sutured Repair of Gastroschisis
Conclusion Sutureless and sutured gastroschisis repairs result in similar growth and long-term outcomes. Patients living in areas with greater social vulnerability may be at increased risk of poor weight gain. Patients should be followed at least through their first year to ensure appropriate growth.

Gastroschisis in Mozambique: current status and priorities for improving care from Hospital  Central de Maputo, the largest and referral hospital of the country
ConclusionWhile the mortality rate remains high for gastroschisis patients in Mozambique, there have been a few survivors when surgery is performed. Improvements in neonatal care are needed. Given the high mortality rates and limited resources, we plan to focus our surgical efforts on bedside closure techniques.

Assessment of the neonatal referral and transport system for patients with gastroschisis in Kenya
ConclusionThis study demonstrates that pre-transit and transit care of neonates with gastroschisis is inadequate in Kenya. Interventions needed, as identified by this study, to promote care of neonates with gastroschisis are advised.

Postnatal Outcome of Fetuses With the Prenatal Diagnosis of Gastroschisis
Conclusions Although reported survival rates are good for gastroschisis, the postoperative hospital stay is often lengthy, and complications are very common, especially those related to the gastrointestinal tract. Associated anomalies were more common in our study than previously reported.

Prenatal coverage of experimental gastroschisis with a collagen scaffold to protect the bowel
Conclusions: Prenatal coverage of the bowel in experimental gastroschisis with a collagen scaffold is feasible in fetal lambs, significantly diminished damage to the bowel wall, and skin and connective tissue replaced the scaffold. This technique may be promising in the care of fetuses with this congenital anomaly.

Gluteal flap for omphalocele repair in a case of epigastric heteropagus: A novel approach for surgical management
We present a novel surgical approach for the repair of the omphalocele in a case of epigastric heteropagus twins, probably the 45 th case to be reported in the world literature.

Sonographic predictors of postnatal bowel atresia in fetal gastroschisis
ConclusionIABD >14 mm is associated with an increased risk for postnatal bowel atresia in fetal gastroschisis. This finding may be useful in counseling patients regarding the anticipated postnatal course for their neonate.

Outcomes of early versus late intestinal operations in patients with gastroschisis and intestinal atresia: Results from a prospective national database
Conclusions: Early intestinal operations in patients with gastroschisis and intestinal atresia are not associated with increased complications, and allow patients to receive and tolerate enteral feeding earlier.

A vascular and thrombotic model of gastroschisis
A binary vascular/thrombotic pathogenesis for gastroschisis, a form of congenital bowel herniation, is proposed, where normal right umbilical vein involution creates a possible site for thrombosis adjacent to the umbilical ring. If thrombosis occurs, it weakens the area, explaining overwhelmingly right‐sided lesions. The model arises from the existence of two groups of risk factors with different maternal age associations. Older mothers show a greater association with vascular factors (although this may actually represent a lack of any significant maternal age effect), consistent with associations of gastroschisis with c...

The first case of Bruck syndrome associated with gastroschisis.
Abstract Bruck syndrome is an extremely rare disorder featuring the unusual combination of skeletal changes resembling osteogenesis imperfecta with congenital contractures of large joints. Although the genotypic and phenotypic features of Bruck syndrome are heterogeneous, we report a baby girl having gastroschisis complicated with jejunal perforation in addition to bone fractures and joint contractures, which supported the diagnosis of Bruck syndrome. After surgical procedures for gastroschisis, the fractures were treated with splints, and cyclic pamidronate treatment was started. On postoperative day 30, the pati...

Early pregnancy agricultural pesticide exposures and risk of gastroschisis among offspring in the San Joaquin Valley of California
Conclusion: Our study rigorously adds to the scant literature on this topic. Our a priori expectation was that we would observe certain pesticide compounds to be particularly associated with young age owing to the disproportionate risk observed for young women to have offspring with gastroschisis. We did not observe an exposure profile unique to young women. Birth Defects Research (Part A), 2014. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Prenatal imaging of a fetus with the rare combination of a right congenital diaphragmatic hernia and a giant omphalocele
We present images of a fetus diagnosed with this rare combination of anomalies. Early neonatal death occurred immediately after the full‐term birth due to severe respiratory insufficiency. In this case, disturbance of chest wall development due to the omphalocele rather than the diaphragmatic hernia was considered as the main cause of lung hypoplasia. Our experience suggests that caution should be exercised for severe respiratory insufficiency in a neonate with an omphalocele and diaphragmatic hernia, even in the absence of an intra‐thoracic liver, one of the indicators of poor outcome for congenital diaphragmatic hernia.

Maternal Genitourinary Infections and the Risk of Gastroschisis
Genitourinary infections (GUIs) have been associated with increased risk of gastroschisis in 2 studies. Using data collected in the Slone Epidemiology Center Birth Defects Study, we examined the association between GUI and gastroschisis. From 1998 to 2010, mothers of 249 gastroschisis cases and 7,104 controls were interviewed within 6 months of delivery about pregnancy events, including vaginal infections, genital herpes, urinary tract infections (UTIs), and other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Women were considered exposed if they reported at least 1 instance of a GUI in the first trimester. Logistic regression mod...
