Is International Volunteer Surgery for Cleft Lip and Cleft Palate a Cost-Effective and Justifiable Intervention? A Case Study from East Asia

TL;DR: The contribution of the international volunteer surgical team to building in-country capacity is notable and was achieved primarily through training Vietnamese surgeons during the mission trips and through sending these surgeons to Korea for training.

Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of the Birth Prevalence of Orofacial Clefts in Low- and Middle-Income Countries.

TL;DR: In LMICs, approximately 1 in every 730 children is born with CL/P, and future research should use a standard classification system and standard criteria for data collection and presentation to optimize comparability across settings.

Differential methylation is associated with non-syndromic cleft lip and palate and contributes to penetrance effects

TL;DR: The association of methylation at specific genomic locations as contributing factors to both non-familial and familial NSCLP and altered DNA methylation may be a second hit contributing to penetrance is demonstrated.

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.
