Fetoscopic two-layer closure for open neural tube defects: prospective study of obstetric, surgical and perinatal outcomes in the first 50 cases. [PDF]

Ultrasound Obstet Gynecol
ABSTRACT Objective Fetoscopic repair for open neural tube defects (ONTDs) has gained acceptance among leading groups, although it remains controversial owing to the lack of a standardized neurosurgical technique.

Associations between post translational histone modifications, myelomeningocele risk, environmental arsenic exposure, and folate deficiency among participants in a case control study in Bangladesh

Epigenetics, 2017
Arsenic exposure may contribute to disease risk in humans through alterations in the epigenome. Previous studies reported that arsenic exposure is associated with changes in plasma histone concentrations. Posttranslational histone modifications have been
