... Abstract Cleft lip and palate is the most common craniofacial birth defect and its etiology has been the focus of many reports in the literature. It is well accepted that both genetics and environment play a role in the condition, however we still have not been able to translate what have been...

... conditions. This small mammal’s usefulness in cleft lip and palate research stems not only from the striking anatomical and molecular similarities of lip and palate development between human and mouse embryos, but also from its amenability to experimental and genetic manipulation. Using some recent studies...

... Abstract Cleft lip with or without cleft palate (CLP) and cleft palate only (CP) are severe disruptions affecting orofacial structures. Patients with orofacial clefts require complex interdisciplinary care, which includes nursing, plastic surgery, maxillofacial surgery, otolaryngology, speech...

... Abstract The fibroblast growth factor (FGF) signalling pathway is critically involved in several aspects of craniofacial development, including formation of the lip and the palate. FGF receptors are activated by extracellular FGF ligands in order to regulate cellular processes such as migration...

... Abstract Wnt signaling regulates a variety of cell behaviors and represents a major pathway in development and disease. Mutations in Wnt genes and their downstream targets have been implicated in human craniofacial abnormalities, including the most prevalent birth defect, cleft lip...

... is to be evidence based then the highest levels of research need to be applied. The strongest evidence is clearly derived from randomized controlled trials where confounders are removed by the size of the sample and control for bias through randomization. Randomized controlled trials in the treatment of cleft lip...

... anatomy of this region, optimal timing for surgical repair and current thinking on the use of surgical adjuncts. In addition, an overview of current surgical techniques available for the repair of cleft lip, cleft palate and velopharyngeal insufficiency is presented. Finally, we briefly discuss nasal...

... Abstract The orthodontic treatment of patients with all types of cleft lip and palate, a resume of facial growth and discussion on dental and occlusal development is presented. A fully integrated cleft team provides life-long interdisciplinary holistic treatment for patients born...

... Abstract Nonsyndromic cleft lip with or without an associated cleft palate (NSCLP) is one of the most common birth defects affecting 135,000 babies worldwide each year. It causes severe facial dysmorphism and treatment requires a multifaceted team approach. While treatment modalities have...

... Abstract Lip tattooing for cosmetic or medical purposes is a difficult operation with indications and contraindications. Lips have a refined microanatomy and many functions ranging from aesthetics and mimics supporting facial expressions to entirely biological functions such as supporting oral...

... [ 7 ]. It is apparent that structural changes of the facial bones directly affect the position of the overlying structures (ligaments, fat compartments, muscles, skin). Similarly, an age-related loss of teeth directly affects the position and form of the lips. Fig. 1. Facial skeleton...

... A, Fitzmaurice D, Lip GY, Murray E, BAFTA Investigators: Midland Research Practices Network (MidReC): Warfarin versus aspirin for stroke prevention in an elderly community population with atrial fibrillation (the Birmingham Atrial Fibrillation Treatment of the Aged Study, BAFTA): a randomised controlled trial...

... Abstract Cosmetic tattooing dedicated to beautifying the normal anatomy such as the eyebrows, the eyelines, or the lips is in a remarkable growth all over the world. Medical tattooing with reconstruction of the areola and the nipple after breast surgery, correction of the lost color of vitiligo...

..., eyeliners, lips, and other locations. The delicate dosing of pigment relative to the natural skin tone is highlighted. The review is relevant for all aspects of PMU including medical tattooing, e.g., areola tattooing after breast cancer surgery. A detailed guidance to PMU artists and medical tattooists...
