Evidence of Olfactory Deficits in Isolated Orofacial Clefting

TL;DR: The aim of this study is to investigate the prevalence of olfactory deficits in cases with different types of orofacial clefting and their unaffected first-degree relatives and to help in understanding the genetic etiology.

Histologic Aspect of the Curved Vomerine Mucosa in Cleft Lip and Palate.

TL;DR: In this paper, common surgical techniques aim to turn the entire vomerine mucosa with vomer flaps either to the oral side or to the nasal side, and the latter approach is widely performed due to the simila...

Parental Risk Factors and Child Birth Data in a Matched Year and Sex Group Cleft Population: A Case-Control Study.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the effect of parental age and mothers' body mass index on the risk of having an orofacial cleft child, in a matched year and sex group (cleft/healthy control).
Journal ArticleDOI

Assessing agreement between preclinical magnetic resonance imaging and histology: An evaluation of their image qualities and quantitative results.

TL;DR: A detailed method comparison between histology and magnetic resonance imaging is demonstrated and it is demonstrated that method comparisons not always need the use of an independent animal study, additionally.

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.
