background: children with cleft lip and palate generally suffer from inappropriate and inadequate feeding, resulting in insufficient weight gain leading to malnutrition and poor growth. we aimed to evaluate the nutritional and growth status of cleft lip and palate children before and after reconstructive cleft lip and palate surgery. methods: all cleft lip and palate children aging from birth u...

introduction: cleft lips and cleft palates are common congenital abnormalities in children. various chromosomal loci have been suggested to be responsible the development of these abnormalities. the present study was carried out to investigate the association between the suspected genes (methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase [mthfr] a1298c and c677t) that might contribute into the etiology of the...

background and aims. the aim of the present study is to determine the incidence of mthfr c677 t and a1298c mutations in iranian patients with cleft lip and/or cleft palate. materials and methods. we screened 61 iranian patients with cleft lip and/or cleft palate for mutations in the two alleles of mthfr gene associated with cleft lip and/or palate: a1298c and c677t, using polymerase chain react...

Granulomatous disorders include a wide variety of infectious and non-infectious conditions with heterogeneous clinical courses considerable constraints affected organs. We take cutaneous sarcoidosis as model disease to acquire new insights into the pathomechanisms granulomas. combined single-cell high-dimensional spatial transcriptomics fluorescently labeled antibody detection for protein expre...

objectives: one of the factors predicting language impairments is an early limited lexicon in children. an early limited lexicon can also lead to limited performances in other language areas. this study was aimed to examine receptive and expressive vocabulary in 8-16 month-old children with cleft lip and palate as a predictor of development in other language areas. materials: the macarthur-bate...

non-syndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate (nscl/p) is one of the most common congenital abnormalities of the orofacial region with a multifactorial etiology. the present study aimed to investigate the association of two common polymorphisms of methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (mthfr) gene (c.677c>t and c.1298a>c) with the occurrence of nscl/p in an iranian population.forty-five ns...

INTRODUCTON: Many lesions of the jaws contain giant cells, they include Peripheral giant cell granuloma, Central giant cell granuloma, aneurismal bone cyst, brown tumor of hyperparathyroidism and early stage of cherubism. Giant cell granuloma which is a benign bone lesion that occurs mainly in the jaws are not tumor but tumor like conditions, the cause of tumor like condition is chronic truma w...

Background and aim: Cleft lip and cleft palate are among the most common orofacial abnormalities. Patients with these deformities commonly present with midface deficiency and need challenging treatment modalities that focus on improving the position of the maxilla. Tongue plate appliance is an intraoral device that has shown promising results in the treatment of growing patients with maxillary ...

in patients with malignancy, the common etiologies of granuloma formation are tumor related sarcoid reaction, sarcoidosis, tuberculosis and other granulomatous diseases. often, the finding of granulomas in malignant patients may obscure the primary malignancy or may mislead towards treatment of infectious and other etiologies. hence, their proper recognition and necessary follow up is needed to...
