Summary Introduction
Introduction: Critical period in pregnancy is during 10-20 weeks of gestation when fetal organs begin to form. It is the time when rapid multiplication and differentiation of fetal cells occur. During this time once the fetal cells forms, it is very difficult to reprogram them. Therefore, during this time it is critical for the mother to maintain a healthy nutritional balance of the body because it can have long term effects on fetal development and growth.

- At 37 years of age, Señora Mendez was in her 23rd week of pregnancy and expecting her second child. Or so she thought, until an ultrasound scan detected twins. Her prepregnancy weight was 142 pounds (64.5 kg) and her BMI. Señora Mendez’s weight-gain progress has been poor due to nausea and vomiting experienced in the first half of pregnancy. Otherwise, Sra. Mendez was experiencing a normal pregnancy for women expecting twins. Concerns about her weight-gain progress and the nutritional needs of women with twin gestation prompted her certified–nurse midwife to prescribe a prenatal vitamin and mineral supplement and to refer her to a registered dietitian/certified diabetes educator. A nutritional assessment completed during week 25 of pregnancy identified that Sra. Mendez had gained 14 pounds since conception, and that her typical dietary intake excluded food sources of EPA and DHA. Her plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D level was below 24 nmol/L, indicating low vitamin D status.

Given his clinical presentation, the patient likely has a defect with his (HGPRT / dihydrofolate reductase) enzyme. As a result, the patient most likely has (folate deficiency / Lesch-Nyhan syndrome). In clinical laboratory and urinalysis studies, you would expect this patient to have(lower / higher) levels of urate than normal reference ranges. Furthermore, de novo purine synthesis most likely occurs at a (lower / higher) rate in a healthy individual compared to your patient.arrow_forwardA 34-year-old multipara woman at 16 weeks gestation presents for routine prenatal visit.
