Cytophotometrical and immunohistochemical analysis of soft palate muscles of children with isolated cleft palate and combined cleft lip and palate

Experimental and Toxicologic Pathology, 2002
Palatal muscle biopsies from the cleft margin of children were subjected to cytophotometrical and immunohistochemical analysis. Muscle fiber types were classified according to the enzyme activity of myofibrillic adenosine triphosphatase, glycerol-3-phosphate-dehydrogenase and succinate dehydrogenase assessed cytophotometrically.

Soft palate muscle activity in response to hypoxic hypercapnia

Journal of Applied Physiology, 1994
We studied the effects of increasing respiratory drive on electromyographic (EMG) soft palate muscle (SPM) activity in nine anesthetized tracheostomy-breathing dogs during hypoxic hypercapnia (HH) with a 14% O2–8% CO2–78% N2 inspired gas mixture. Moving time average EMG activity was recorded from palatinus (PAL), levator veli palatini (LP), and tensor

Histological and histochemical characterisation of the equine soft palate muscles

Equine Veterinary Journal, 2010
Summary Reasons for performing study: Dysfunction of the muscles is implicated in the pathogenesis of intermittent dorsal displacement of the soft palate (DDSP) in exercising horses. The histological features of normal equine soft palate muscles have not been previously described.

Palatal Muscle Electromyogram Activity in Obstructive Sleep Apnea

American journal of respiratory and critical care medicine, 1995
Abstract Eight subjects (5 men, 3 women, ages 27 to 55) with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) were studied to quantify and compare electromyographic (EMG) activity of levator veli palatini (LVP) and palatoglossus (PG), two velopharyngeal muscles, and genioglossus (GG) during obstructive apnea cycles in non-rapid eye movement ...

The importance of the levator palati muscle in cleft palate closure

British Journal of Plastic Surgery, 1968
Summary The action of the muscles concerned in movements of the palate and narrowing of the naso-pharynx is discussed and the importance of the levator palati is stressed. The isolation and the definition of the levator palati muscle is described and illustrated with photographs. The operative procedure of cleft palate repair is briefly described.

[The temporal muscle flap and palatal repair].

Revue de stomatologie et de chirurgie maxillo-faciale, 1988
Two edentulous elderly women presented with benign but extensive tumors of middle third of face. The excision necessary for reasons of comfort and hygiene could not be envisaged unless the ineluctable vast palatine breach opened could be immediately repaired by surgery, any prosthetic solution being excluded.

Failure of muscle relaxants to produce cleft palate in mice

Teratology, 1971
AbstractThis study was designed to examine the validity of the theory that descent of the tongue, which is presumably induced by fetal muscular movements, is essential for normal closure of the secondary palate in mice. Nulliparous CD1 mice were given the following “muscle‐paralyzing” agents on day 13° of gestation, i.e., 1 day before the onset of the ...

Results of the dynamic muscle sphincter operation in cleft palates

British Journal of Plastic Surgery, 1970
Summary Based on 11 years' experience, the best speech results have been obtained in patients with a cleft palate when the palate has first been closed with a minimal, atraumatic palatorrhaphy, followed six months later by the construction of a dynamic muscular sphincter at the site of the velopharyngeal incompetence. In my opinion, this easy, quick,

Antifibrotics for Cleft Palate Muscle Repair

Children born with a cleft lip and palate often need soft palate surgery. Although essential, this procedure can cause scarring that impairs muscle function, leading to speech and swallowing problems. This thesis investigated new strategies to limit such scarring and improve muscle healing, focusing on two antifibrotic approaches: Nintedanib and ...
