First approximation to congenital malformation rates in embryos and hatchlings of sea turtles
ConclusionOlive ridleys seem more prone to the occurrence of congenital malformations than the other two species. Whether the observed malformation levels are normal or represent a health problem cannot be currently ascertained without long‐term assessments.

Descriptive study on neural tube defects in Argentina
ConclusionThe characteristics of cases reported to the RENAC are similar to those already reported in the literature. The differences in prevalence between the RENAC and other surveillance systems could be artifactual or real. We confirmed the decrease of prevalence of NTDs after folic acid fortification.

Spatial analysis of gastroschisis in the national birth defects prevention study
ConclusionThe results of this study, while not statistically significant, suggest there were spatial variations in gastroschisis births. We cannot rule out that these variations were due to edge effects or residual confounding. Birth Defects Research (Part A), 2015. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
