Fetal brain and placental programming in maternal obesity: A review of human and animal model studies.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:Fetal myelomeningocele (fMMC) surgery improves infant outcomes when compared with postnatal surgery. Surgical selection criteria and the option of pregnancy termination, however, limit the number of cases that are eligible for prenatal surgery. We aimed to quantify what proportion of cases could ultimately be...
