Structural and functional causes of hypernasality in velocardiofacial syndrome. A pilot study.
OBJECTIVE Hypernasality in velocardiofacial syndrome (VCFS) is more severe, persistent, and difficult to manage compared to other populations with cleft palate or velopharyngeal (VP) dysfunction. This pilot study investigated why children with VCFS have more severe hypernasality. METHODS Pressure-flow methodology indirectly measured VP orifice size and VP closure timing during speech in a gro...
متن کاملVelocardiofacial syndrome.
Velocardiofacial syndrome is one of the most common multiple-anomaly syndromes in humans. With its many otolaryngologic manifestations and its almost ubiquitous effects on speech, language, hearing, immune dysfunction, and airway problems, velocardiofacial syndrome may be the most common genetic disorder seen by pediatric otolaryngologists. Individuals affected with velocardiofacial syndrome lo...
متن کاملthe effect of functional/notional approach on the proficiency level of efl learners and its evaluation through functional test
in fact, this study focused on the following questions: 1. is there any difference between the effect of functional/notional approach and the structural approaches to language teaching on the proficiency test of efl learners? 2. can a rather innovative language test referred to as "functional test" ge devised so so to measure the proficiency test of efl learners, and thus be as much reliable an...
15 صفحه اولTriplication of DYRK1A causes retinal structural and functional alterations in Down syndrome.
Down syndrome (DS) results from the triplication of approximately 300 human chromosome 21 (Hsa21) genes and affects almost all body organs. Children with DS have defects in visual processing that may have a negative impact on their daily life and cognitive development. However, there is little known about the genes and pathogenesis underlying these defects. Here, we show morphometric in vivo da...
متن کاملVelocardiofacial syndrome: are structural changes in the temporal and mesial temporal regions related to schizophrenia?
OBJECTIVE Velocardiofacial syndrome results from a microdeletion on chromosome 22 (22q11.2). Clinical studies indicate that more than 30% of children with the syndrome will develop schizophrenia. The authors sought to determine whether neuroanatomical features in velocardiofacial syndrome are similar to those reported in the literature on schizophrenia by measuring the volumes of the temporal l...
