Spinal dysraphisms are amenable to diagnosis in utero. The prognosis and the neonatal management of these conditions differ significantly depending on their types, mainly on the distinction between open and closed defects. A detailed evaluation not only of the fetal spine, but also of the brain, skull, and lower limbs is essential in allowing for the right diagnosis. In this article, recommendations from the Fetal Task Force of the European Society of Paediatric Radiology (ESPR) and the European Society of Neuroradiology (ESNR) Pediatric Neuroradiology Committee will be presented. The aim of this paper is to review the imaging features of the normal and abnormal fetal spinal cord, to clarify the prenatal classification of congenital spinal cord anomalies and to provide guidance in their reporting.

Understanding the distribution of breeding populations of migratory animals in the non-breeding period (migratory connectivity) is important for understanding their response to environmental change. High connectivity (low non-breeding population dispersion) may lower resilience to climate change and increase vulnerability to habitat loss within their range. Very high levels of connectivity are reportedly rare, but this conclusion may be limited by methodology.

Rare cancers present significant challenges in diagnosis, treatment, and research, accounting for up to 25% of global cancer cases. Due to their rarity and atypical presentations, they are often misdiagnosed, resulting in late-stage detection and poor outcomes. Here, we describe a patient case with advanced metastatic nasopharynx NUT carcinoma, one of the rarest and most aggressive cancers.

Optimal fluid strategy for laparoscopic donor nephrectomy (LDN) remains unclear. LDN has been a domain for liberal fluid management to ensure graft perfusion, but this can result in adverse outcomes due to fluid overload. We compared postoperative outcome of living kidney donors according to the intraoperative fluid management.

Gut microbiota disruptions after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (alloHCT) are associated with increased risk of acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD). We designed a randomized, double-blind placebo-controlled trial to test whether healthy-donor fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) early after alloHCT reduces the incidence of severe aGVHD. Here, we report the results from the single-arm run-in phase which identified the best of 3 stool donors for the randomized phase.
