Noggin Overexpression Impairs the Development of Muscles, Tendons, and Aponeurosis in Soft Palates by Disrupting BMP-Smad and Shh-Gli1 Signaling

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021
The roles of bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling in palatogenesis were well documented in the developing hard palate; however, little is known about how BMP signaling regulates the development of soft palate. In this study, we overexpressed Noggin

Application of Berlin questionnaire in obstructive sleep apnea syndrome through soft palate morphology types

Journal of Education and Health Promotion, 2022
Background: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a sleep disorder characterized by intermittent complete and partial airway collapse, resulting in frequent episodes of apnea and hypopnea. The Berlin questionnaire (BQ) is a simple, inexpensive instrument used

Analysis of Fetal Palate to Assist Pre-natal Ultrasound [PDF]

Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2016
Introduction: Cleft palate is one of the major facial congenital malformation in newborns. Pre-natal detection of this malformation is limited to detection of clefting of hard palate but isolated soft palate clefting still remains challenge for ...

Digital cephalometric analysis illustrating morphological variation of the soft palate

Journal of Indian Academy of Oral Medicine and Radiology, 2015
Introduction and Objectives: The soft palate plays a vital role in velopharyngeal closure which is strongly dependent on a close coordination of the velum and the contiguous pharyngeal structures. It is reasonable to hypothesize that these structures may
