Thoracolumbar Meningomyelocele Associated with Hydrocephalus and Kyphoscoliosis Comorbidities: A Rare Case Report

Indian Journal of Ayurveda and Integrative Medicine KLEU
Here, we are presenting a case of meningomyelocele, a severe form of spina bifida. It results from the nonclosure of the caudal end of the neural tube. It is an open neural tube defect (NTD) characterized by the protrusion of the meninges and spinal cord

Determinants of neural tube defect among newborns admitted to neonatal intensive care units of teaching hospitals in Gedeo Zone and Sidama Region, Southern Ethiopia: a case–control study

BMJ Paediatrics Open
Background Neural tube defects are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality that can occur in the early pregnancy periods. Though the burden is high, it gains only limited attention. In Ethiopia, the estimated number of neural tube defect cases was

A Proof‐of‐Concept Assessment of a Novel Wearable Eyelid Muscle Device: A Pre‐Clinical Animal Cadaver Study for Eyelid Closure Restoration

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This article introduces a soft wearable eyelid sling device incorporating a hydraulic soft artificial muscle (SAM) for achieving complete closure of an eyelid. The SAM is driven by a cam mechanism that provides a displacement profile closely matched with those of a healthy eyelid.
