A Course Introduction

BrauneB1.jpg

Anatomical image of late pregnancy by Wilhelm Braune (1831-1892): Topographisch-anatomischer Atlas : nach Durchschnitten an gefrornen Cadavern, Leipzig: Verlag von Veit & Comp., 1867-1872. (Topographic-anatomical Atlas) Wilhelm Braune (1831-1892)

This first lecture will introduce the course and the subject of Embryology.

Firstly, an introduction to the course, its content and assessment and an opportunity to ask questions.

Secondly, some historic background to the subject and related current Australian trends.

Australian Developmental Abnormalities

Ten most frequently reported birth defects in Victoria between 2003-2004 (More? Australian Statistics - Victoria)

  1. Hypospadias (More? Genital Abnormalities - Hypospadia)
  2. Obstructive Defects of the Renal Pelvis (More? Urogenital Abnormalities)
  3. Ventricular Septal Defect (More? Cardiovascular Abnormalities - Ventricular Septal Defect)
  4. Congenital Dislocated Hip (More? Musculoskelal Abnormalities - Congenital Dislocation of the Hip (CDH))
  5. Trisomy 21 or Down syndrome - (More? Abnormal Development - Trisomy 21)
  6. Hydrocephalus (More? Neural Abnormalities - Hydrocephalus)
  7. Cleft Palate (More? Head Abnormalities)
  8. Trisomy 18 or Edward Syndrome - multiple abnormalities of the heart, diaphragm, lungs, kidneys, ureters and palate 86% discontinued (More? Abnormal Development - Trisomy 18)
  9. Renal Agenesis/Dysgenesis - reduction in neonatal death and stillbirth since 1993 may be due to the more severe cases being identified in utero and being represented amongst the increased proportion of terminations (approximately 31%). (More? Kidney Abnormalities - Renal Agenesis)
  10. Cleft Lip and Palate - occur with another defect in 33.7% of cases. (More? Head Abnormalities)
