Introduction: Cleft lip and palate, the most common developmental deformity, is seen worldwide and the etiology involves a combination of genetic and environmental factors. The purpose of this study was to determine the maternal risk factors associated with the development of cleft lip and cleft palate. Materials and Methods: We conducted a case control study at the Women’s Hospital in Culiacan...

It is suspected that environmental exposure to non-syndromic oral clefts, which includes cleft lip (CL), and palate (CLP) has an effect on epigenetic mechanisms, particularly deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) methylation. DNA methylation will be expressed during facial morphogenesis have impact development. This study aimed observe differences in between CL CLP, mothers CLP mothers, correlation mothe...

BACKGROUND: The tongue, which plays a very important role in food intake by vertebrates, exhibits significant morphological variations that appear to represent adaptation to the current environmental conditions of each respective habitat. OBJECTIVES: The aim of the present investigation was to investigate lingual structure in adult budgerigar. METHODS: Tongues of 12 adult budgerigars were used ...

Cost-effective and feasible methods for early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) are needed. We present two methods to measure AD-related biomarkers simultaneously from one nasal smear for the purpose of diagnosing AD. Japanese men and women aged 63-85 years old were recruited in 2015-2016 for this case-control study. A total of 25 AD cases and 25 controls (22 men and 28 women) participated ...

Thyroid develops from median rudiment which is a surface elevation dorsal to the tuberculam impar and forms by proliferation of endodermal cells. Lateral thyroid element of the fourth pouch contributes in the development of thyroid gland. Failure of the lateral thyroid element to fuse with the median element may result in a lateral ectopic thyroid gland. In the present case, patient initially p...
