Abstract:

Abstract The aim of this study was to define distinct craniofacial features in subjects with nonsyndromic cleft lip and palate (CLP) and in subjects with Turner syndrome (TS), and to evaluate the resemblance of these features among their family members. This might help in elucidating if there is a parental contribution to possible predisposing craniofacial features in cleft subjects and to the severity of certain distinct craniofacial features in subjects with X chromosome monosomy. The study population consisted of 29 Costa Rican CLP families including unaffected parents and siblings, and o

Abstract:

Among the most prevalent and devastating types of human birth defects are those affecting the mouth and face, such as orofacial clefts. Children with malformed orofacial structures undergo multiple surgeries throughout their lifetime and struggle with facial disfigurements, speech, hearing, and eating problems. Therefore, facilitating new research in cranio- and orofacial development is paramount to prevention and treatment of these types of birth defects in humans. Xenopus laevis has emerged as a new tool for dissecting the mechanisms governing facial development. Thus, molecular analyses acc

Abstract:

For some young people, the experience of having a facial disfigurement such as a cleft lip and palate can result in negative social interactions, often originating from the stereotyping reaction of others. Using the social rank theory of shame, the effects of bullying and teasing were investigated in a patient group of 16, 12-18 year olds with cleft lip or cleft lip and palate. The patient group were compared with a group of 16 of their peers with regards to their experiences of bullying and teasing, shame-proneness and the focus of their shame. The interactional effects of shame and bullying

Abstract:

In response to the continuing rise in global demand for energy and energy security, the pressure on conventional hydrocarbon resources has increased substantially and has led to a shift in focus from conventional to unconventional energy resources (e.g. shale oil, shale gas, and oil shale). The energy situation is particularly precarious for Jordan as it imports -97% of its current energy needs, which underlines the importance of finding alternative internal energy resources for the country. The current estimates suggest that there is more than 65 billion tons of oil shale in Jordan, which ran

Abstract:

Mechanisms that result in directional tissue growth include cell proliferation, orientated cell division, an increase in cell size, a change in the cell density and cell death. These were investigated in the development of the mouse palatal shelves between stages E11.5 – E15.5. The aim was to develop and apply image processing tools to automatically analyse images of fixed specimens to reveal cellular behaviours that can be applied to understand directional growth and diagnosing the mechanism of its failure in mutant tissue in the palate and more generally. Techniques included immunohistochemi

Abstract:

Statistical Shape Models (SSM) have wide applications in image segmentation, surface registration and morphometry. This thesis deals with an important issue in SSM, which is establishing correspondence between a set of shape surfaces on either 2D or 3D. Current methods involve either manual annotation of the data (current ‘gold standard’); or establishing correspondences by using segmentation or registration algorithms; or using an information technique, Minimum Description Length (MDL), as an objective function that measures the utility of a model (the state-of-the-art).

Objectives: The human secondary palate forms between 6-12 weeks of gestation. There has been controversy as to whether palatal shelves in the soft palate join by fusion similar to the hard palate, or whether merging and proliferation of the mesenchyme at the posterior edge of the developing hard palate is the mechanism. The purpose of this study is to examine the mode of soft palate closure in a more representative sample than was used in the single previous study on which all textbooks are based. Methods: Serial sections of secondary palates from 13 human fetuses from 54-74-days of developme

Of these 51/286 had cleft lip only, 147/286 had cleft palate only and 88/286 had both. Of the 139 patients with cleft lip with or without cleft palate (CL(P)), the lip defect was unilateral in 86/139, midline in 2/139, bilateral in 41/139 and 10/139 could not be classified.

There are considerable psychosocial impacts associated with the condition of cleft lip and palate (CL/P). This thesis investigated patient perceived impacts of CL/P on psychosocial adjustment and sociological life outcomes across three age-groups, and the perceptions of healthcare professionals with regard to confidence in treating those with CL/P. A mixed methods approach found that CL/P had been a lifelong challenge which resulted in positive educational and employment outcomes but poorer relationship and psychosocial outcomes.

Objectives: Hard palate development occurs between 7-12 weeks post conception with the fusion of the epithelial lined maxillary prominences creating a midline epithelial seam. The failure of fusion or seam removal in hard palate leads to cleft palate or cyst formation. The mechanism of soft palate formation is less well defined. Evidence exists supporting both fusion and the alternative mechanism of merging. The aim of this study is to densely sample the late embryonic-early fetal period between 54-84days post-conception to determine the mechanism and timing of palate closure. Methods: 28 hu
