Journal ArticleDOI
Perinatal exposure to polychlorinated biphenyls and dioxins and its effect on neonatal neurological development
M Huisman,Corine Koopman-Esseboom,Vaclav Fidler,Mijna Hadders-Algra,Cornelis G. van der Paauw,Louis G.M.Th. Tuinstra,Nynke Weisglas-Kuperus,Pieter J J Sauer,Bert C.L. Touwen,E. Rudy Boersma +9 more
TL;DR: Higher levels of PCBs, PCDDs, and PCDFs in breast milk were related to reduced neonatal neurological optimality and higher levels of planar PCBs in Breast milk were associated with a higher incidence of hypotonia.
Journal ArticleDOI

Abraham Brouwer,Ulf G. Ahlborg,Martin van den Berg,Linda S. Birnbaum,E. Ruud Boersma,Bart A.T.C. Bosveld,Michael S. Denison,L. Earl Gray,Lars Hagmar,Edel Holene,M Huisman,Sandra W. Jacobson,Joseph L.

Weisglas-Kuperus,Gerhard Winneke +24 more
TL;DR: The lowest observable adverse effect levels (LOAELs) for developmental neurobehavioral and reproduction endpoints, based on body burden of TCDD-toxic equivalents (TEQs) in animals, are within the range of current background human body burdens.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neurological differences between 9-year-old children fed breast-milk or formula-milk as babies
TL;DR: A beneficial effect of breast-feeding on postnatal neurological development is suggested and longer-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids, which are present in breast-milk but not in most formula-milks, may have a role since they are vital for brain development.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neurological condition in 18-month-old children perinatally exposed to polychlorinated biphenyls and dioxins
M Huisman,Corine Koopman-Esseboom,Caren I. Lanting,Cornelis G. van der Paauw,Louis G.M.Th. Tuinstra,Vaclav Fidler,Nynke Weisglas-Kuperus,Pieter J J Sauer,E. Rudy Boersma,Bert C.L. Touwen +9 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that transplacental PCB passage has a small negative effect on the neurological condition in 18-month-old toddlers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Obstetrical condition and neonatal neurological morbidity. An analysis with the help of the optimality concept.
Bert C.L. Touwen,Hj Huisjes,A.D. Jurgens-V.D. Zee,M.E.C. Bierman-van Eendenburg,M. Smrkovsky,A.A. Olinga +5 more
TL;DR: It could be shown that obstetrical conditions such as acidemia, preterm birth and intrauterine growth retardation have a stronger relationship to neurological morbidity when the accompanying obstetrical optimality is lower.
