Journal ArticleDOI

Abnormal neuronal migration, deranged cerebral cortical organization, and diffuse white matter astrocytosis of human fetal brain: a major effect of methylmercury poisoning in utero.

TL;DR: Findings indicate a high degree of vulnerability of human fetal brain to maternal intoxication by methylmercury, which appears to be related to faulty development and not to destructive focal neuronal damage as has been observed in mercury intoxication in adults and children exposed postnatally.
Book ChapterDOI

Intra-uterine methylmercury poisoning in Iraq.

TL;DR: Clinical and laboratory evaluation of 15 infant-mother pairs exposed to methylmercury during pregnancy, including mercury determinations in blood samples of mothers and infants, and in milk samples from mothers, during the first seven months following the epidemic.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fetal Methylmercury Poisoning: Relationship Between Concentration in Single Strands of Maternal Hair and Child Effects

TL;DR: Analysis of single hair strands provides a better index of acute or subacute fetal exposure than analysis of bundles of hair; the duration and degree of exposure are more accurately defined.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dose-response analysis of infants prenatally exposed to methyl mercury: an application of a single compartment model to single-strand hair analysis

TL;DR: Logit and hockey-stick models as well as nonparametric smoothing are used to describe data on delayed development and central nervous system abnormality in dose-response analysis of data from the 1971 outbreak of methyl mercury poisoning in rural Iraq.
