  1. 6. Craniofacial development after three different palatoplasties in children born with isolated cleft palate

    Författare :Konstantinos Parikakis; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Introduction: Different palatoplasties are applied for the surgical correction of children born with an isolated cleft in the palate (ICP). During the last decades the Veau-Wardill-Kilner (VWK), Minimal Incision (MI) and Minimal Incision with radical muscle reconstruction (MMI) palatoplasties were performed by the Stockholm Craniofacial Team.

  3. 7. Craniofacial morphology and growth in the ferret: effects from alteration of masticatory function

    Författare :Tailun He; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : INTRODUCTION: Our hypothesis is that any effects on craniofacial growth and morphology induced by altering the masticatory function will vary according to the species involved. The general aim of this thesis was to test the possible effects of altering the masticatory function on craniofacial growth and morphology, as well as features of masticatory muscles in ferrets.

  5. 9. Transmyringeal middle ear ventilation : an experimental approach to evaluation of its benefits and consequences

    Författare :Ove Söderberg; Sten Hellström; Lars-Eric Stenfors; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Middle ear; tympanic membrane; otitis media; heat myringotomy; laser myringotomy; tympanostomy tube; transmyringeal ventilation;

    Sammanfattning : A prerequisite for a functioning middle ear is an air-filled middle ear cavity. Aeration of the middle ear cavity is controlled by the Eustachian tube. Dysfunction of the Eustachian tube has long been acknowledged as a significant etiological factor in disorders of the middle ear, especially middle ear effusions. LÄS MER
