Higher concentration of selenium in placental tissues is associated with reduced risk for orofacial clefts.

TL;DR: The concentration of Se in placental tissues was dose-dependently associated with decreased risk for OFCs in offspring, and this finding suggests that maternal Se intake during pregnancy may protect against OFC in offspring.

Cleft lip and palate in Madagascar 1998–2007

TL;DR: There was a high prevalence of oral clefts in general and associated or syndromic forms, or both, in the Vakinankaratra region and there may be a link between background high doses of ionising radiation in some areas because of the presence of former uranium mines.

Airway management: A comparative study in cleft lip and palate repair surgery in children

TL;DR: A comparative study in children using the endotracheal tubes available in the Institute found the RAE tube to be the choicest one and at a minimal risk for maintaining patients’ patent airway and other related complications.

Maternal periconceptional consumption of sprouted potato and risks of neural tube defects and orofacial clefts

TL;DR: Maternal consumption of sprouted potatoes during periconceptional period may increase the risks of NTDs and OFCs and improper preservation and use should be a matter of concern in respect of the potential teratogenicity.

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.

Clinical manifestations in 105 persons with nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome.

TL;DR: The frequency of the clinical and radiological anomalies in Nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome in a large population of US patients is delineated and guidelines for diagnosis and management are discussed.

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.
