        Osteoarthritis of the fingers

        When osteoarthritis develops in a joint, the cartilage becomes irregular, rough and loses its thickness and the bone underneath thickens. The bones at the edge of the joint grow outward, called "spurs", and excess synovial fluid may be produced, causing the joint to swell. This will make it difficult to perform normal tasks and will cause the surrounding muscles to weaken. If severe osteoarthritis is present, the spurs will grind against each other during movement. This can, over time, change the shape of the joint creating a deformity.

        Folic acid and the prevention of certain birth defects

        Folic acid, also known as vitamin B9, plays a crucial role in preventing certain congenital anomalies, especially those related to the development of the neural tube in the fetus. This vitamin, essential for nucleic acid synthesis and cell division, is particularly crucial early in pregnancy when the central nervous system of the future baby is forming. Studies have demonstrated that supplementing with folic acid before and during pregnancy significantly reduces the risk of congenital anomalies such as spina bifida.It is highly recommended for women of childbearing age, even before conception, to take folic acid supplements to ensure adequate levels of this crucial vitamin. This preventive measure, combined with a balanced diet, helps ensure a healthy fetal development and minimizes potential health risks for the unborn baby. Raising awareness of the importance of folic acid in preventing congenital anomalies remains a key element of preconception care, providing future parents with a simple yet effective way to promote the newborn's health.
