   Sammanfattning : While the functional and anatomical aspects of reconstructive surgery in children with leg length inequality (LLI), prominent ears (PE) and cleft lip and palate (CLP) have been studied in detail, the psychological aspects of surgery have been less explored.

   Sammanfattning : The potassium ion channel (hERG/IKr) is important for normal heart function and drug-induced blockade of the channel in adult humans can lead to irregular heart rhythms (arrhythmia).  The ion channel is also essential for early cardiac function in the embryo and therapeutic drugs which block this channel have been shown to cause birth defects in animal studies.

4. 23. Speech outcome in children born with cleft lip and palate treated with one-stage palate repair : aspects of function and environment

   Författare :Jill Nyberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Introduction and aims: This project focused on speech outcomes at 5 and 10 years of age after two different surgical protocols and on peer perceptions of speech in children born with cleft palate. The aim was to gain knowledge about speech outcome in children born with unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) or cleft palate only (CPO), treated with one-stage palatoplasty at approximately 12 months of age, according to two different surgical protocols: minimal incision technique (MIT) and minimal incision technique with muscle reconstruction (MITmr).

   Sammanfattning : Orofacial clefts (OFC) and craniosynostosis (CS) are the two most common craniofacial malformations. Of note, craniofacial abnormalities share some overlapping risk factors with psychiatric disorders. Thus, this thesis aimed to study psychiatric and educational outcomes in this group. LÄS MER

   Sammanfattning : Introduction: The global average for prevalence in births with orofacial clefts is 9.92 per 10,000. Variability in prevalence could be as much as a seven-fold difference in different ethnicities. Precise phenotyping and subphenotyping were essential in understanding the orofacial cleft phenome.
