  1. 16. Internationally adopted children with unilateral cleft lip and palate - longitudinal perspectives on speech production and language ability

    Författare :AnnaKarin Larsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Internationally adopted; cleft lip and palate; speech production; language ability;

    Sammanfattning : Many children with cleft lip and palate have been adopted to Sweden. Most had had no palatal closure performed in their native countries and received their first palatal surgery in Sweden while acquiring a new first language. The main aim of this thesis was to investigate speech production (i.e. LÄS MER

  3. 17. Application of genetic analyses in studies of syndromic and non-syndromic cleft lip and palate

    Sammanfattning : Linkage analysis is one of the first and essential steps in the localization of human disease genes. In this study, the method was first applied in mapping of the disease in two families with isolated hyperparathyroidism (FIHP) to the hyperparathyroidism-jaw tumor (HPT-JT) syndrome locus at 1q21-q32.

  4. 18. Speech and expressive language in Swedish-speaking children with unilateral cleft lip and palate

    Författare :Kristina Klintö; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Introduction and aims: A cleft palate may hamper development of speech and expressive language. Expressive language, including phonology, has been sparsely explored in children with cleft lip and palate, and extended knowledge is essential in order to improve intervention for this patient group.

  5. 19. Hearing in children with cleft palate

    Författare :Birgitta Tengroth; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Objective: The overall aim of this thesis was to collect longitudinal information about hearing thresholds and complications due to otitis media with effusion (OME) in children with cleft palate. Since OME is highly prevalent in children with cleft palate, many authors have hypothesized that the hearing loss associated to OME contributes to the delayed development of early speech and language often seen in these children.

    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Van der Woude syndrome (VWS) is the most common oral cleft syndrome, accounting for two percent of all cleft lip and/or cleft palate (CL/P) cases. The main characteristics of VWS are lip pits (LP), cleft lip (CL), cleft lip and palate (CLP), cleft palate (CP) and/or hypodontia (H). LÄS MER
