Approximately 25% of all oral cavity carcinomas involve the lips, and the primary management of these lesions is complete surgical resection. Loss of tissue in the lips after resection is treated with a variety of techniques, depending on the extension and location of the defect. Here we review highly accepted techniques of lip reconstruction and some of new trials with significant clinical ...

a 39-year-old pregnant woman at 38 weeks of gestation was referred with labor pain to a hospital. she had consanguinity with her husband. a female newborn had multiple craniofacial anomalies and phocomelia in right upper limb. the disease locus was assigned to chromosome17q21. four days later, infant died of cardiopulmonary arrest.

nasoalveolar molding represents a paradigm shift from traditional presurgical orthopedics in the care of cleft lip and palate patients which has been applied increasingly in the past two decades. this article is a review of recent literature apropos of objectives, appliances, complications and short and long term effects of this technique.

CONTEXT Identification of person living or dead using diverse characteristics is the basis in forensic science. The uniqueness of lip and fingerprints and further, association between them can be useful in establishing facts in legal issues. AIMS The present study was carried out to determine the distribution of different lip print patterns among subjects having different thumbprint patterns ...

Background: In previous research, we found that cell secretion from the adult lamprey supraneural body tissues possesses cytocidal activity against tumor cells, but the protein with cytocidal activity was unidentified. Methods: A novel lamprey immune protein (LIP) as defense molecule was first purified and identified in jawless vertebrates (cyclostomes) using hydroxyapatite column and Q Sepharo...

We present an epidemiologic study of cleft lip and palate in the Republic of Korea from January 1, 1993 through December 31, 1993. In 1993, the number of total live births was 715,817. And from 1993 through 1995, a total of 1,293 new patients with cleft lip and palate who were born in 1993 were identified. The incidence of cleft lip and palate was 1.81 per 1000, that is, 1 per 554 live births. ...

Aim and Objectives : The present study was aimed to nd gender differences in lip prints and rugae pattern and also to correlate particular lip print and rugae pattern. Methodology 150 individuals (75 male and 75 female) were included for the study. Lip prints were taken on the glued portion of cellophane strip and was stuck on the white bond paper. The grooves present on the middle portion of ...

Macaque frontal eye fields (FEF) and the lateral intraparietal area (LIP) are high-level oculomotor control centers that have been implicated in the allocation of spatial attention. Electrical microstimulation of macaque FEF elicits functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) activations in area LIP, but no study has yet investigated the effect of FEF microstimulation on LIP at the single-cell...

Objective(s): Leishmaniasis is a complex parasitic disease that represents a major public health problem. Despite numerous attempts over the past decades, yet there is no effective vaccine against human leishmaniasis probably due to the lack of suitable adjuvants. In this study, a first generation liposomal-based Leishmania vaccine was developed using soluble Leishmania major antigens (SLA) and...
