Community Use Of Face Masks And COVID-19: Evidence From A Natural Experiment Of State Mandates In The US.
Wei Lyu,George L. Wehby +1 more
TL;DR: Evidence from a natural experiment on effects of state government mandates in the US for face mask use in public issued by 15 states plus DC between April 8 and May 15 suggests that requiring face maskUse in public might help in mitigating COVID-19 spread.
Journal ArticleDOI
The impact of orofacial clefts on quality of life and healthcare use and costs.
TL;DR: Several studies identify an increased burden of orofacial clefts on quality of life, socioeconomic outcomes, long-term health, and healthcare use and costs, but some of the findings are inconsistent.
Journal ArticleDOI
Review on genetic variants and maternal smoking in the etiology of oral clefts and other birth defects.
TL;DR: Gene-environment interaction studies for birth defects are still at an early stage with several mixed results, but evolving research findings have begun to document clinically and developmentally important interactions.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: A multiethnic genome-wide association study with European, Asian, African and Central and South American ancestry revealed novel CL/P risk loci and suggest new genes involved in craniofacial development, confirming the highly heterogeneous etiology of OFCs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Folic Acid and Orofacial Clefts: A Review of the Evidence
TL;DR: The findings of the main studies of the effects of folic acid on orofacial clefts are reviewed, study limitations are summarized, and research needs are discussed with a focus on studying the effects on the recurrence of oral clefts using a randomized clinical trial design.
