Article Synopsis
- Individuals with interstitial lung abnormalities (ILA) may have suspected interstitial lung disease (ILD), which can lead to worse health outcomes and higher mortality rates.
- A study of 9,588 participants found that 2.8% had prevalent ILD, with a 52% mortality rate after about 10.6 years, significantly higher than those with ILA only (33%).
- Progression of ILD, particularly the presence of fibrosis and CT changes, was linked to increased mortality, emphasizing the need for careful monitoring of those with suspected ILD.
Background: Gingivoperiosteoplasty (GPP) can avoid secondary alveolar bone graft in up to 60% of patients. The effects of GPP on maxillary growth are a concern. However, palatoplasty can also negatively impact facial growth.

The authors report clinical outcomes of facially mature patients with complete BCLP who underwent NAM and gingivoperiosteoplasty (GPP).
Methods: A single-institution retrospective study of nonsyndromic patients with complete BCLP who underwent NAM between 1991 and 2000 was performed.
Background: The aim of this investigation was to determine whether the nasal form of patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate treated with presurgical nasoalveolar molding therapy, primary lip-nose surgery, and postsurgical nostril retainer was different from that of patients treated with presurgical nasoalveolar molding and primary lip and nose surgery alone.
Methods: This cross-sectional, retrospective review focused on 50 consecutive patients with nonsyndromic unilateral cleft lip and palate: 24 treated with nasoalveolar molding and primary lip and nose surgery followed by postsurgical nostril retainer (group 1) compared with 26 patients treated with nasoalveolar molding and primary lip and nose surgery without postsurgical nostril retainer (group 2). Polyvinyl siloxane nasal impressions were performed at an average age of 12 months and 6 days.
