MRI in Sheep Model for Myelomeningocele Repair Using a Novel Polymer and Other Dural Patches
ABSTRACT Objective To compare postnatal MRI outcomes after prenatal myelomeningocele repair using three different dural substitutes. Method 32 sheep fetuses were included, with 34.3%(11/32) serving as healthy controls and the remaining undergoing prenatal spinal lumbar defect creation to recreate a myelomeningocele in the fetus.

ABSTRACT Objective To assess the efficacy of middle cerebral artery (MCA) Doppler ultrasonography in predicting neurological and respiratory outcomes in fetuses with fetal growth restriction (FGR) and to establish a correlation between MCA Doppler and head circumference (HC). Method Retrospective cohort study examining singleton pregnancies affected by

ABSTRACT Objective Prenatal genetic testing for imprinting disorders is rarely requested with the exception of Beckwith‐Wiedemann syndrome (BWS) which is associated with specific ultrasound findings (e.g., placental mesenchymal dysplasia, omphalocele). However, genetic testing for BWS is challenging as aberrant DNA methylation has to be addressed which

Clinical periodontal diagnosis
Abstract Periodontal diseases include pathological conditions elicited by the presence of bacterial biofilms leading to a host response. In the diagnostic process, clinical signs such as bleeding on probing, development of periodontal pockets and gingival recessions, furcation involvement and presence of radiographic bone loss should be assessed prior ...

A Comprehensive Review of the Genetic Etiology and Management of Orofacial Clefts
ABSTRACT Cleft lip (CL) and cleft palate (CP), collectively referred to as orofacial clefts (OFCs), are among the most common birth defects and can have significant effects on speech, nutrition, and physical and psychosocial development. Manifestation, classification, and treatment plans of OFCs are diverse and not standardized.

Nested Selves: Self‐Organization and Shared Markov Blankets in Prenatal Development in Humans
Abstract The immune system is a central component of organismic function in humans. This paper addresses self‐organization of biological systems in relation to—and nested within—other biological systems in pregnancy. Pregnancy constitutes a fundamental state for human embodiment and a key step in the evolution and conservation of our species. While not
