Cleft Palate Repair: A History of Techniques and Variations

TL;DR: An understanding of global protocols is crucial in an attempt to standardize technique and timing to achieve anatomical closure with optimal velopharyngeal competence, while also minimizing the occurrence of maxillary hypoplasia and palatal fistulae.

Association analysis of GWAS hits and non-syndromic cleft lip with/without palate with cleft alveolar in Han population of western China.

TL;DR: It is indicated that FOXE1 is the susceptible gene for cleft alveolar accompanied by NSCL/P and cleftAlveolar in Western Han Chinese population.

Alkali and alkaline earth elements in maternal serum and occurrence of orofacial clefts in offspring.

TL;DR: In this article , the associations between levels of eight AEs and AEEs in maternal serum during pregnancy and occurrence of fetal orofacial clefts (OFCs) were explored.

Ultrasonographic Investigation of Cleft-type Compensatory Articulations

TL;DR: Investigation of cleft palate speech using ultrasound confirmed auditory-perceptual impressions and revealed covert articulatory movements, and a severity metric quantified the incremental changes in both dimensions.

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.
