2. Neurodevelopmental disorders (ESSENCE): Early detection and outcome in adulthood
Sammanfattning : Objectives: Examine outcomes in adulthood for a group of individuals diagnosed with fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD), and for another group during childhood diagnosed with attention-deficit/ hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) with concurrent developmental coordination disorder (DCD). In addition, to also examine the usefulness of a parental screening questionnaire for concerns regarding neurodevelopmental problems (NDPs) in 11-year-old children. LÄS MER
3. Islet insulin secretory patterns in diabetes and the role of UCP2
Sammanfattning : During development of type 1 and type 2 diabetes plasma insulin patterns are altered. Since the islet insulin release pattern has been implicated in this development, insulin secretion from single islets was studied and linked to the islet protein levels of uncoupling protein-2 (UCP2).

4. Unilateral Cleft Lip and Palate : Quality of Life and Nasal Form and Function among Adults
Sammanfattning : Unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) is a craniofacial malformation with functional and aesthetical impact on the face and the upper airways. The aims of the current thesis were to evaluate Quality of life (QoL) in adults treated for UCLP (I), to objectively evaluate nasal form and function and to search for possible differences in residual nasal deformity and impairment of function between patients operated according to one-stage and two-stage palate closure (II) as well as to evaluate the relationship between professional and lay rating and patient satisfaction with nasolabial appearance (III) and to identify factors associated with lower levels of QoL and less satisfaction with nasal appearance among adults treated for UCLP (IV).

5. Cleft Size and Maxillary Arch Dimensions in Unilateral Cleft Lip and Palate and Cleft Palate
Sammanfattning : The wide variation in infant maxillary morphology and cleft size of children with unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) and isolated cleft palate (CP) raise concerns about their possible influences on treatment outcome. The studies in this thesis aimed to investigate the relation between cleft size in infancy and crossbite at 5 years of age (Paper I); the impact of primary surgery on cleft size and maxillary arch dimensions from infancy to 5 years of age (Paper II); associations between cleft size, maxillary arch dimensions and facial growth in both UCLP and CP children (Paper III); and, to evaluate the relation between infant cleft size and nasal airway size and function in adults treated for UCLP (Paper IV).
