Sociodemographic Predictors of Patient Age at Time of Cleft Lip and Palate Repair.

TL;DR: By identifying race, Child Protective Services contact, and care variables as significant predictors of increased patient age at time of intervention, multidisciplinary cleft care teams can proactively allocate patient support resources.

Clinical, genetic, and molecular characterization of hyperphosphatasia with mental retardation: a case report and literature review

TL;DR: A pair of monozygotic twins presenting with severe intellectual disability, distinct facial dysmorphism, developmental delay, and increased alkaline phosphatase level are described, illustrating the genomic profile of PGAP3-related HPMRS which is essential for targeted molecular and genetic testing.

A review of COVID-19 therapeutics in pregnancy and lactation

TL;DR: In this paper , a review of published data on COVID-19 therapeutics in pregnancy and lactation is presented to help inform clinical decision-making about their use in this population.

The use of acellular dermal matrix in the closure of oronasal fistulae after cleft palate repair.

TL;DR: Usually, the fistula occurs at the junction of the hard and soft palate, a defect in this location is frequently associated with hypernasality of the speech, velopharyngeal incompetence, and nasal regurgitation of food and liquids with consequent impairment of the quality of life.

Impact of breastfeeding and/or bottle-feeding on surgical wound dehiscence after cleft lip repair in infants: A systematic review.

TL;DR: This review showed no increased risk of surgical wound dehiscence in infants with breastfeeding and/or bottle-feeding after cleft lip repair compared with infants with alternative feeding methods.

Retinoic Acid Embryopathy

TL;DR: It is possible that a major mechanism of isotretinoin teratogenesis is a deleterious effect on cephalic neural-crest cell activity that results in the observed craniofacial, cardiac, and thymic malformations.

Apaf1 (CED-4 homolog) regulates programmed cell death in mammalian development.

TL;DR: It is suggested that Apaf1 is essential for Casp3 activation in embryonic brain and is a key regulator of developmental programmed cell death in mammals.

Transforming growth factor-β3 is required for secondary palate fusion

TL;DR: This result demonstrates that TGF–β3 affects palatal shelf fusion by an intrinsic, primary mechanism rather than by effects secondary to craniofacial defects.
