Abstract

Neural tube defects (NTD) are one of the birth defects or congenital abnormalities that occur in the brain and spine, and commonly find in newborns worldwide. Anencephaly and spina bifida are the two prevalent forms of NTD. The incidence of spina bifida happen on average 1 in 1000 cases of birth worldwide and there are 140,000 cases per year worldwide. Source searches were carried out on the online portal of journal publications as many as 20 sources from MedScape, Google Scholar and the Nation Center for Biotechnology Information / NCBI with the keywords “Neural tube defects (NTD), prevention, and spina bifida”. Spina bifida is a congenital abnormality that occurs in the womb due to a failure of closing process the neural tube during the first few weeks of embryonic development which causes the spine not completely close around the developing spinal cord nerves. NTD can ensue multifactorial conditions such as genetic, environmental, and folate deficiency. The use of folic acid supplementation starting at least 3 months before pregnancy, those are 400 mcg (0.4 mg) per day and 800 mcg per day during pregnancy can reduce the risk of developing neural tube defects such as spina bifida. Generally, spina bifida is undertaking by surgery and the regulation of patients comorbid. Public can find out prevention to avoid or reduce the risk of spina bifida so that the incidence of spina bifida can decrease along with the increasing awareness of the community regarding this disease.

Abstract

Along with increasing life expectancy and advances in medical technology, the incidence of brain tumors continues to increase. Brain tumors can cause changes in mental status, neurological deficits, and create a large social burden. The incidence of benign brain tumors is 71% and these benign brain tumors develop twice as often in women as in men. Diagnosis brain tumors requires radiological examinations that can quickly diagnose brain tumors and must be done immediately. Source searches were carried out on the online portal of journal publications as many as 20 sources from MedScape, Google Scholar and the Nation Center for Biotechnology Information / NCBI with the keywords "brain tumor" and "radiology of brain tumor". Brain tumors cause progressive neurological disorders. Neurologic disorders in brain tumors are usually caused by two factors, namely focal disturbances due to tumors and increased intracranial pressure. The most commonly used radiological techniques are T1/T2-Weighted MRI, MR Spectroscopy, Diffusion MRI, Perfusion MRI, and Brain Tumor CT Scan. MRI is a powerful and flexible instrument for evaluating patients with primary brain tumors. Integration of the RANO criteria into treatment evaluation helps reduce premature discontinuation of effective therapy due to treatment-related imaging changes.
