Objective To analyze the incidence rate of birth defects in infants born at different gestational ages and birth weights,so as to provide a basis for improving the surveillance system and reducing the incidence of birth defects. Methods Data of all perinatal infants born at and after 28 weeks of gestation and within 7 days after delivery in all the hospitals with the obstetrical department from October 1,2003 to September 30,2015 were collected. Results From 2003 to 2015,1 236 937 perinatal infants were monitored,including 10 619 with birth defects (incidence rate of 8.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to explore the relationship between genetic and environmental factors and abnormal birth histories in order to improve monitoring of birth defects and reduce their occurrence.
  • Data was collected from over 1.2 million perinatal infants in Xi'an over a 12-year period, revealing a birth defect incidence rate of 0.86% and highlighting associations between previous births with defects, spontaneous abortions, and exposure to harmful substances.
  • Findings indicate that women with a history of having multiple children with birth defects are more likely to have a family history of such defects, suggesting a significant genetic and environmental influence on the likelihood of birth defects.

The hybrid of finite element and boundary integral (FE-BI) method is employed to predict nano-optical trapping forces of arbitrarily shaped metallic nanostructures. A preconditioning strategy is proposed to improve the convergence of the iterative solution. Skeletonization is employed to speed up the design and optimization where iteration has to be repeated for each beam configuration.

A fast full-wave method for computing radiation pressure force (RPF) exerted by shaped light beams on moving particles is presented. The problem of evaluating RPF exerted on a moving particle by a single excitation beam is converted into that of computing RPF's exerted on a static particle by multiple beams. The discretization of different beams leads to distinct right hand sides (RHS's) for the matrix system.
