Summary: This study investigated the variation between non-syndromic cleft lip and/or palate (NSCLP) and non-cleft (NC) subjects in relation to lip morphology (LM) and nasolabial angle (NLA). The results showed significant disparities in LM-1 and NLA between NSCLP and NC individuals.

Summary: This article emphasizes the benefits of a multidisciplinary team approach in the systemic management of patients with cleft lip and cleft palate, and suggests the addition of a registered dietitian to the care team. An ideal cleft palate care team should focus on a comprehensive, collaborative, and family-centered approach. While care teams may vary depending on context and location, there are still some key principles.

Summary: This paper examines cephalometric parameters in patients with cleft lip and palate and cleft lip, and compares the differences between these patient groups. The results show that cleft palate surgery has an effect on the forward growth of the maxilla.

Summary: Distraction osteogenesis for maxilla can effectively advance the maxilla in cleft lip and palate patients, however, it may cause temporomandibular joint dislocation, which should be noted by clinicians.

Summary: This study utilized an expression quantitative trait locus (eQTL) dataset to identify multiple associations with the risk of non-syndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate (NSCL/P). Functional annotation analysis showed that these risk loci were significantly enriched in transcription regulation and chromatin open regions on the genome. Additionally, these susceptible genes were closely related to cell fate determination, the pluripotency of stem cells, and Wnt signaling pathways.

Summary: Orofacial clefting is a common birth defect worldwide, presenting as cleft lip only, isolated cleft palate or cleft lip and palate. It has a diverse genetic background influenced by gene-gene and gene-environment interaction, resulting in syndromic and nonsyndromic orofacial clefts. Orofacial clefts cause significant physiological difficulties, impacting feeding, speech and language development, and other developmental aspects, leading to increased social and financial burden. The management of orofacial clefts requires a multidisciplinary team approach.

Summary: This article provides an overview of characteristics of unilateral cleft lip and nasal deformity, as well as its management options including presurgical orthopedics, operative techniques, and postsurgical care. Specific surgical techniques such as rotation-advancement and straightline repairs are discussed in detail, along with current concepts in primary cleft nose repair.

Summary: This study investigated the prevalence of tooth agenesis, tooth malformation, and eruption patterns of upper canines/first premolars in Taiwanese children. The results suggest a strong correlation between the patterns of dental anomalies and the cleft sites in cleft lip and cleft palate patients.

Summary: Cleft lip and palate is a common congenital birth defect with varied causes. Recent studies suggest that non-coding RNAs, specifically microRNAs, may play a role in the development of cleft lip and palate. This review examines the potential of microRNAs as causative mechanisms in humans and mice.

Summary: The study found an association between neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS) and cleft lip and/or cleft palate (CLP), specifically isolated cleft palate, suggesting that prenatal exposure to opioids may be an environmental risk factor in the development of CLP.

Summary: Pathogenic and likely pathogenic variants in the CDH1 gene are associated with increased risk of gastric and breast cancers, as well as hereditary cleft lip and palate (CLP). This study aimed to determine the prevalence of CLP in families with these variants. The results showed a high prevalence of CLP in families carrying CDH1 variants, with no clear genotype-phenotype pattern. Genetic testing for CDH1 should be considered in families with CLP and a history of gastric or lobular breast cancer.

Summary: This study aims to assess wound healing and safety of single-stage two-layers continuous closure in patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP). The results show that all patients achieved full primary healing without fistulas, and no severe intra- or postoperative adverse events occurred. Furthermore, the width of the cleft decreased significantly after surgery.

Summary: By modifying patients' postoperative photographs, the study found that lip angle has a smaller impact on appearance ratings compared to scar severity. Although families are more concerned about scarring, clinically, the angle of the cleft lip repair is more likely to influence the perception of the surgical result.

Summary: Orofacial cleft disorders, particularly cleft lip and/or palate (CL/P), are common congenital disorders worldwide. This review examines the differences in microbiota between CL/P patients and healthy individuals at various anatomical locations. Pathogenic bacterial and fungal species were found to be prevalently and/or specifically detected in CL/P patients, which may aid in the development of CL/P-specific microbiota management strategies.

Summary: MR perfusion imaging plays a crucial role in the diagnosis, management, and follow-up of patients with gliomas. Based on our experience, multiparametric MR perfusion imaging improves the ability to differentiate glioma recurrence or progression from treatment-related changes compared to using a single MR perfusion technique.
