Article Abstract
To conduct an intercenter outcome assessment of maxillomandibular relationships for patients with repaired complete unilateral cleft lip and palate between the ages of 8 and 14 using the GOSLON Yardstick index. Retrospective cohort study. Ten Comprehensive Cleft Care Centers across India. A total of 397 subjects with repaired unilateral cleft lip and palate. Using GOSLON Yardstick, 397 study models of patients with complete unilateral cleft lip and palate were assessed. The intra-rater and inter-rater reliabilities were assessed using weighted kappa statistics. One-way analysis of variance test was performed to determine if there were any statistically significant differences in GOSLON ratings among the centers. Significance levels were set at < .05. The inter-rater and intra-rater reliability values of GOSLON ratings were 0.882 and 0.836. The GOSLON ratings across ten different centers range from 3.1 to 3.9. The center with the best score, that is, Center G, with 37.5% of its patients with a GOSLON 4 and 5 combined, whereas Center A with the worst score, that is, 57.5% of its patients with a GOSLON 5. The outcomes vary from fair to poor GOSLON scores among Indiacran centers. Continued efforts to share best practices and improve standardization across centers may enhance the quality of care and decrease the burden of care for patients with cleft lip and palate and their parents.

Background: Alveolar molding plate treatment (AMPT) plays a critical role in preparing neonates with cleft lip and palate (CLP) for the first reconstruction surgery (cleft lip repair). However, determining the number of adjustments to AMPT in near-normalizing cleft deformity prior to surgery is a challenging task, often affecting the treatment duration. This study explores the use of machine learning in predicting treatment duration based on three-dimensional (3D) assessments of the pre-treatment maxillary cleft deformity as part of individualized treatment planning.

The Fisher anatomical subunit repair is a versatile, effective, and highly reproducible technique. It utilizes mathematical precision in design, avoids multi-point closure, minimizes scar burden, and does not compromise horizontal lip length for vertical height in various deformities.

Introduction: Unilateral cleft lip nasal (UCL/N) deformity severity presents complex anatomical challenges, with surgical outcomes influenced by preoperative status. Existing classification systems for UCL/N lack standardization, relying on subjective clinical assessments or isolated anthropometric measures that fails to assess anatomical deformity comprehensively. This limits their utility in objectively stratifying deformity severity and justifying postoperative outcomes.

A 19-year-old Oldenburg stallion was presented multiple times over the course of several months with recurrent colic signs. At each examination, an enlargement of the scrotum was noted, which could not be further specified by palpation and ultrasonographic examination. The increase in circumference was noted both on palpation and on inspection and the size remained unchanged throughout.

Introduction: This study aims to assess the structural features of adenoids and nasopharyngeal airways in boys with nonsyndromic unilateral complete cleft of lip and palate (UCLP group) compared to non-cleft lip and palate patients of the same age (control group), and to identify differences in the growth and development of adenoids and nasopharyngeal airways between two groups.
Methods: Adenoid and nasopharyngeal airway length, area, and volume were retrospectively analyzed using CBCT images (n = 120). The UCLP group comprised boys aged 6-11 with UCLP (n = 60), while the control group consisted of boys without cleft lip and palate (n = 60).
