Memory and selective learning in children with spina bifida-myelomeningocele and shunted hydrocephalus: A preliminary study [PDF]
Background Selective learning is the ability to select items of relevance from among less important items. Limited evidence exists regarding the efficiency with which children with spina bifida-myelomeningocele and shunted hydrocephalus (SB/SH) are able ...

Uncovering the Genetic Landscape of Spinal Dysraphism: A Retrospective Analysis of 150 Fetal Cases
ABSTRACT Objective Spinal dysraphism (SD) results from incomplete neural tube closure and encompasses a heterogeneous group of congenital anomalies with genetic and environmental etiologies. Although genetic contributions are recognized, causative variants remain insufficiently defined, and the clinical implications of extended genetic testing on ...
