Risk of Reading Difficulties in School-age Children Treated for Non-syndromic Craniosynostosis.

Objective: We assessed the prevalence of guardian-reported reading difficulties in children treated for non-syndromic craniosynostosis (NSC) and in relation to the location of the closed suture. Additionally, we determined correlations with guardian-reported neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) and associations between reported reading ability, sex, timing of surgical intervention, parental education, and heredity of reading difficulties in guardians.
Design: Cross-sectional, prospective, population-based study.
Background: The incorporation of Question Prompt Lists (QPLs) into pharmacy interactions has been tested as an innovative strategy aimed at enhancing patient engagement and addressing personal information needs. However, there is a gap in understanding regarding how QPLs induce or reduce patient activation and contribute to improved medical treatment. The specific aim of the study was therefore to qualitatively describe how pharmacy encounters in which QPL are introduced unfold, in order to identify and discuss relevant interactional mechanisms that induce or reduce patient activation.

- Additive manufacturing can create customized implants for oral and maxillofacial surgery, improving fit and reducing surgery time and costs, but complications still arise, especially in patients who have undergone radiation.
- The study proposes a new design for mandibular reconstruction plates that encourages better integration with bone, potentially enhancing durability post-radiation treatment.
- Testing showed that the newly designed Triply Periodic Minimal Surface structures can withstand biting forces and promote cell growth, suggesting they may improve implant success rates.
Several factors may influence speech outcome and the rate of secondary palatal surgery in patients with cleft palate. The aim of this study was to evaluate different types of intra-velar veloplasty within an otherwise uniform surgical protocol. The impact of cleft width and the surgeon's experience on outcome measurements was examined.

Materials And Methods: Subjects with impacted maxillary canines (IMC) and persisting incisors with CIRR examined with cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), diagnosed ≥ 5 years earlier, were recalled. The resorption grade in the horizontal and vertical plane was assessed on CBCT images at baseline (T0) and follow-up (T1).
