FGF2 promotes Msx2 stimulated PC‐1 expression via Frs2/MAPK signaling [PDF]
PC‐1 is an enzymatic generator of pyrophosphate and a critical regulator of tissue mineralization. We previously showed that fibroblast growth factor‐2 (FGF2) specifically induces PC‐1 expression in calvarial pre‐osteoblasts and that this occurs via a ...

Electrocardiographic variables in children with syndromic craniosynostosis and primary snoring to mild obstructive sleep apnea [PDF]
Background: In the spectrum of children with symptomatic sleep disordered breathing (SDB), some individuals – such as those with upper airway resistance syndrome (UARS) – do not have abnormalities on polysomnography (PSG).

Orthognathic Surgical Outcomes in Patients With and Without Craniofacial Anomalies [PDF]
Purpose The objective of this study is to examine hospitalization outcomes after orthognathic surgery. This study tests the hypothesis that patients with craniofacial anomalies have higher billed hospital charges, longer lengths of stay, and increased ...

The Relationship between Brachycephalic Head Features in Modern Persian Cats and Dysmorphologies of the Skull and Internal Hydrocephalus [PDF]
Background: Cat breeders observed a frequent occurrence of internal hydrocephalus in Persian cats with extreme brachycephalic head morphology. Objective: To investigate a possible relationship among the grade of brachycephaly, ventricular dilatation ...

Diagnostic value of exome and whole genome sequencing in craniosynostosis [PDF]
Background Craniosynostosis, the premature fusion of one or more cranial sutures, occurs in ~1 in 2250 births, either in isolation or as part of a syndrome. Mutations in at least 57 genes have been associated with craniosynostosis, but only a minority of
