Addressing the Diagnostic Odyssey for Adults With Neurodevelopmental Disabilities: Case Study of an Individual With Mandibulofacial Dysostosis With Microcephaly

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Whole exome sequencing (WES) has been widely used in the pediatric setting to increase diagnostic yield, provide treatment options, and to estimate reoccurrence risks. However, there is limited knowledge regarding the utility of this technology in adults with neurodevelopmental disabilities.

Chromosome 3q22.2‐q26.2 Interstitial Deletion in a Patient With Wisconsin Syndrome, Blepharophimosis‐Ptosis‐Epicanthus Inversus Syndrome, Dandy‐Walker Malformation, Pierre Robin Sequence, and Recurrent Infections

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Wisconsin syndrome is a very rare genetic condition characterized by coarse facies, prominent nasal tip, bushy high arched/upsweeping eyebrows, and a full/everted lower lip. Deletion of chromosome 3q24q25 region is considered critical for its manifestation.

Multiphoton Intravital Microscopy of Mandibular Draining Lymph Nodes: A Mouse Model to Study Corneal Immune Responses

Frontiers in Immunology, 2020
Multiphoton intravital microscopy (MP-IVM) is a powerful tool to image cells in vivo. Its application in immunology research has opened new horizons, allowing intravital imaging of leukocytes at the single-cell level.

Finite element analysis of feeding in red and gray squirrels (Sciurus vulgaris and Sciurus carolinensis)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Invasive gray squirrels (Sciurus carolinensis) have replaced the native red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris) across much of Great Britain over the last century. Several factors have been proposed to underlie this replacement, but here we investigated the potential for dietary competition in which gray squirrels have better feeding performance than ...

Helmeted hornbill cranial kinesis: Balancing mobility and stability in a high‐impact joint

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Prokinesis—in which a craniofacial joint allows the rostrum to move relative to the braincase—is thought to confer diverse advantages in birds, mostly for feeding. A craniofacial joint would, however, be a weak link if cranial stability is important. Paradoxically, we have identified a craniofacial joint in helmeted hornbills (Rhinoplax vigil),

Accuracy of vertical bitewing and bisect periapical radiography techniques in anterior mandibular teeth interdental bone resorption

مجله دانشکده دندانپزشکی اصفهان, 2009
Introduction: Alveolar bone level is changed due to the balance between bone formation and resorption. Radiographic examination has an important role in the diagnosis and treatment of periodontal diseases. This study was performed to compare the accuracy

Early life functional transitions impact craniofacial morphology in osteogenesis imperfecta

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Early life behaviors have a profound role in shaping adult craniofacial morphology. During early life, all mammals undergo the dynamic transition from suckling to mastication, a period coinciding with rapid cranial biomineralization. Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), a genetic disorder that impacts the production of type I collagen, disrupts ...
