Current special projects

Wertelecki initiated ongoing investigations of population rates of congenital anomalies (CA) in Chernobyl ionizing radiation impacted regions in Ukraine. He established OMNI-Net, an international not-for-profit organization with a focus on birth defects. Subsequently, investigations of alcohol impacts and prenatal development were initiated in partnership with Collaborative Initiative on Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders CIFASD conducted by investigators coordinated by Dr. C. Chambers from UCSD and implemented in Ukraine by an OMNI-Net team directed by Wertelecki.

Other OMNI-Net priorities in Ukraine included the establishment of websites stressing the role in Clinical Medicine in the early visual recognition of Developmental Disorders^[10] – of teratogens (causes of developmental disorders)^[11] – and the importance of Medical Humanities as a basis of Medical Ethics.^[12] Evidence of epidemic rates^[13]^[14] of Neural Tube Defects (NTDs) (Spina Bifida and Anencephaly) in Ukraine (3–4 fold above Western Europe rates) and in particular in Polissia, a region impacted by Chernobyl's chronic ionizing radiation, prompted an initiative urging Ukrainian Public Health authorities to implement folic acid flour fortification policies to reduce prevailing NTD rates as the most effective public health prevention intervention.
