5. 3. Cleft Size and Maxillary Arch Dimensions in Unilateral Cleft Lip and Palate and Cleft Palate

   Author : Erika Reiser; Anna Andlin-Sobocki; Valdemar Skoog; Bengt Gerdin; Arja Heliövaara; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Unilateral cleft lip and palate; cleft palate; cleft size; maxillary arch dimensions; crossbite; facial growth; nasal function; Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery; Käkkirurgi;

   Abstract : The wide variation in infant maxillary morphology and cleft size of children with unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) and isolated cleft palate (CP) raise concerns about their possible influences on treatment outcome. The studies in this thesis aimed to investigate the relation between cleft size in infancy and crossbite at 5 years of age (Paper I); the impact of primary surgery on cleft size and maxillary arch dimensions from infancy to 5 years of age (Paper II); associations between cleft size, maxillary arch dimensions and facial growth in both UCLP and CP children (Paper III); and, to evaluate the relation between infant cleft size and nasal airway size and function in adults treated for UCLP (Paper IV).

6. 4. Bladder function in infants. A urodynamic and radiologic study

   Author : Marc Bachelard; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Infants; bladder function; urodynamics; urinary tract infection; dilating reflux; videocystometry.;

   Abstract : Objective: The aims of the present study were to establish a reference for urodynamics in infancy, to study the urodynamic pattern of infants with urinary tract infection (UTI) and of infants with dilating vesicoureteral reflux (reflux), and to evaluate if bladder dysfunction was occurring in these conditions. In addition, the possibilities to identify bladder instability in infants at voiding cystourethrography (VCU) were evaluated. READ MORE
