  • smoking and dna methylation correlation of methylation with smoking behavior and association with diseases and Fetus Development following prenatal exposure
    Food and Chemical Toxicology, 2019
    Co-Authors: Domniki Fragou, Eleni Pakkidi, Michael Aschner, Victoria F Samanidou, Leda Kovatsi
    Abstract:

    Abstract Among epigenetic mechanisms, DNA methylation has been widely studied with respect to many environmental factors. Smoking is a common factor which affects both global and gene-specific DNA methylation. It is supported that smoking directly affects DNA methylation, and these effects contribute to the Development and progression of various diseases, such as cancer, lung and cardiovascular diseases and male infertility. In addition, prenatal smoking influences the normal Development of the Fetus via DNA methylation changes. The DNA methylation profile and its smoking-induced alterations helps to distinguish current from former smokers and non-smokers and can be used to predict the risk for the Development of a disease. This review summarizes the DNA methylation changes induced by smoking, their correlation with smoking behavior and their association with various diseases and Fetus Development.

  • zbaby android application for pregnancy due date Fetus Development simulation and weight gain during pregnancy
    International Computer Science and Engineering Conference, 2014
    Co-Authors: Chanjira Sinthanayothin, Wisarut Bholsithi, Nonlapas Wongwaen, Piyanut Xuto
    Abstract:

    For awareness of becoming parents, this paper proposes the Development of Z-Baby as an android application to calculate the pregnancy due date, Fetus Development simulation, weight gain during pregnancy and the amount of calorie in needs. Pregnancy due date is calculated based on user defined data which is the last menstruation. Next, user can view the simulation of 3D Fetus Development with description week by week using OpenGL ES. Then the weight gain during pregnancy is calculated from the BMI based on the specification by IOM 2009 while allowing a user to manage her weight gain as well. Updated weight data were plotted dynamically using Android Plot API. Daily calorie requirement can be calculated during pregnancy by Harris-Benedict Equation to maintain the appropriated weight for healthy baby without overeating. Other available functions are recording photos & data in monthly basis, locating mom's position on Google map to find the nearest hospital located on the map. For accuracy testing, Z-Baby has been compared to other software packages which have the same functions. Z-Baby in now available for free in Google Play. Keywords—Fetus Development; Weight gain during pregnancy; Calorie requirements; OpenGL ES; Android plot API.
