Vibegron for Anticholinergic‐Resistant Pediatric Neurogenic Lower Urinary Tract Dysfunction After Spinal Cord Amputation: A Case Report

IJU Case Reports, Volume 9, Issue 3, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Pediatric neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (NLUTD) is commonly managed with anticholinergic agents and clean intermittent catheterization (CIC). However, treatment options are limited for patients who remain resistant to conventional therapy, particularly following spinal cord surgery. Case Presentation A 14‐year‐old boy

Upper Extremity Biomechanical Model for Evaluation of Pediatric Joint Demands during Wheelchair Mobility [PDF]

, 2012
Current methods for evaluating upper extremity (UE) dynamics during pediatric wheelchair use are limited. We propose a new model to characterize UE joint kinematics and kinetics during pediatric wheelchair mobility.

The Expanding Role of Gene Sequencing in Shaping Fetal Therapies: Clinical and Ethical Considerations

Prenatal Diagnosis, Volume 46, Issue 5-6, Page 623-635, May 2026.
ABSTRACT In utero interventions are transformative in addressing genetic and anatomic conditions during fetal development. Next generation sequencing enables early genetic testing, playing a pivotal role in prenatal decision‐making by supporting risk stratification, precise and timely diagnosis, which directly informs eligibility for fetal surgical and

Oral findings and dental care in a patient with myelomeningocele: case report of a 3-year-old child [PDF]

, 2009
Myelomeningocele (MMC) is a congenital malformation of the neural tube that occurs in the first weeks of pregnancy. This malformation refers to the caudal non-closure of the neural tube and neural tissue exposure, which lead to neurological problems ...

Uncovering the Genetic Landscape of Spinal Dysraphism: A Retrospective Analysis of 150 Fetal Cases

Prenatal Diagnosis, Volume 46, Issue 5-6, Page 849-861, May 2026.
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 ...

Evolving Features of RASopathies Among Pregnancies With Abnormal Fetal Fluid Collections

Prenatal Diagnosis, Volume 46, Issue 5-6, Page 892-903, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective We aimed to characterize the fetal features across gestation and describe genotype‐phenotype correlations for pregnancies with fetal RASopathies that were more severely affected as they presented with at least one abnormal fluid collection.

Exome Sequencing in Prenatally Diagnosed Isolated Neural Tube Defects: A Subtype‐Specific Analysis

Prenatal Diagnosis, Volume 46, Issue 5-6, Page 842-848, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective To explore potential genetic contributors across different subtypes of isolated neural tube defects (NTDs) ‐ acrania–exencephaly–anencephaly sequence (AEAS), spinal dysraphism, and encephalocele ‐ using exome sequencing (ES) in a prenatal cohort, with the goal of gaining insight into the molecular diversity underlying these distinct ...
