BACKGROUND Cleft lip and palate (CLP) is one of the most common birth defects. Multiple factors are believed to be responsible for an unfavorable dental arch relationship in CLP. Facial growth (maxillary) retardation, which results in class III malocclusion, is the primary challenge that CLP patients face. Phenotype factors and postnatal treatment factors influence treatment outcomes in unilate...

that is, #Uq = φ(q), the Euler function. For n ∈ Uq we use n to denote the modular inverse of n, that is, nn ≡ 1 (mod q), n ∈ Uq. The classical question of D. H. Lehmer (see [9, Problem F12]) about the joint distribution of the parity of n and n has been solved by W. Zhang [19, 20]. Recently this question has been generalised by E. Alkan, F. Stan and A. Zaharescu [1] as follows. Given vector a ...

   Background & Objective:  Peroxisome biogenesis disorders (PBDs) are a group of diseases with peroxisomal dysfunction. Wide range of symptoms are associated with the disease which are due to mutations in the PEX genes. The PEX1 mutation occurs in Zellweger syndrome (ZS), a severe autosomal recessive condition with hypotonia, intellectual disability, and hepatic enlargement. The present study ...
