Prospective study of pregnancy and newborn outcomes in mothers with West nile illness during pregnancy
ConclusionThe risk for adverse pregnancy and newborn outcomes in women experiencing WNV illness in pregnancy appears to be low, but future studies with larger numbers are needed to rule out a small risk.

PLAGL1 epimutation and bladder exstrophy: Coincidence or concurrent etiology?
ConclusionConsidering that it is highly unlikely to detect a PLAGL1 epimutation among 23 individuals given the low incidence of this alteration in the population, our observations further support a link between BEEC and imprinting disorders.

Acute alcohol exposure during mouse gastrulation alters lipid metabolism in placental and heart development: Folate prevention
ConclusionEtOH altered gene expression associated with lipid and folate metabolism, as well as neutral lipids, in the E15.5 abnormally functioning heart and placenta. In comparison to controls, the high FA diet protected the embryo and placenta from these effects allowing normal development.

Acardiac twin pregnancies part II: Fetal risk of chorangioma and sacrococcygeal teratoma predicted by pump/acardiac umbilical vein diameters
ConclusionRisk prediction of these rare fetal tumors may be possible based on application of data on excess cardiac output fractions from pump/acardiac UVD ratios and will require future clinical validation.

Temporal trend in the reported birth prevalence of cleft lip and/or cleft palate in Brazil, 2000 to 2013
ConclusionIn recent years, there appears to be an upward trend in the reported prevalence of CL/P in Brazil, confined to the less developed regions of the country. The increase likely reflects improved surveillance; whether it also reflects etiologic differences is unknown. Birth Defects Research (Part A), 2016. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Birth defects in infants born to employees of a microelectronics and business machine manufacturing facility
ConclusionWhile overall SPRs were near expectation, paternal exposure to metals (primarily lead) appeared to be associated with increased VSD risk in infants. Take‐home of occupational exposures, nonoccupational exposures, and chance could not be ruled out as causes. Case numbers for many defects were small, limiting assessment of the role of occupational exposures. Birth Defects Research (Part A), 2016. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
