Progressive Patterned Scalp Hypotrichosis, with Wiry Hair, Onycholysis, and Intermittently Associated Cleft Lip and Palate: Clinical and Genetic Distinction from Marie Unna

Influence of patterned sapphire substrates with different symmetry on the light output power of InGaN-based LEDs

This paper aims to investigate the light output power (LOP) of InGaN-based light-emitting diodes (LEDs) grown on patterned sapphire substrates (PSSs) with different symmetry. The GaN epitaxial layers grown on the hexagonal lattice arrangement PSS (HLAPSS) have a lower compressive strain than the ones grown on the square lattice arrangement PSS (SLAPSS). The quantum-confined Stark effect (QCSE) ...

Characterization of electrodeposited gold and palladium nanowire gratings with optical diffraction measurements.

Parallel arrays of either Au or Pd nanowires were fabricated on glass substrates via the electrochemical process of lithographically patterned nanowire electrodeposition (LPNE) and then characterized with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and a series of optical diffraction measurements at 633 nm. Nanowires with widths varying from 25 to 150 nm were electrodeposited onto nanoscale Ni surfaces ...

Cleft lip and palate: Associated genetic and environmental factors

Cleft lip and palate are among the most common craniofacial anomalies of the human species causing considerable morbidity to affected individuals. The etiology of isolated or non-syndromic cleft lip and palate is complex and heterogeneous, and its occurrence is associated with the interaction of different genetic and environmental factors. To explore the genetic and environmental factors involv...

Oral anatomical defects associated with cleft palate and cleft lip

Patients suffering from a cleft palate and/or cleft lip present evident anatomical defects in both formations. However, these developmental disorders are often accompanied by important disturbances in other anatomical structures of the mouth and adjacent tissues that may affect normal dental occlusion and, consequently, the basic functions of mastication and phonation. The objectives of the pre...
