English Summary: |
Developmental abnormalities
in Hungary were examined and the effect of prevention
and care was in evaluated. Specifically, this study
examined the role of a multivitamin which contained
folic acid in those deformities which were in fact
preventable with proper supplementation. While several
strategies can be employed to correct deformities,
including surgery after birth, there is no single
cure for deformities and abnormalities. However, the
use of a multivitamin is a simple and cost effective measure
that has been shown to reduce many preventable birth
deformities from even starting. |
