We longitudinally assessed speech intelligibility (percent words correct/pwc), communication efficiency (intelligible words per minute/iwpm), temporal control markers (speech and pause coefficients of variation), and formant frequencies associated with lip motion in a 41-year-old face transplant recipient. Pwc and iwpm at 13 months post-transplantation were both higher than preoperative values. Multivariate regression demonstrated that temporal markers and all formant frequencies associated with lip motion were significant predictors (P < 0.

We evaluated the content and readability of websites published by American Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Association (ACPA)-approved cleft lip and/or palate (CLP) teams in the United States.

Article Synopsis
- Orthognathic surgery is important for improving facial aesthetics, correcting dental issues, and treating obstructive sleep apnea, but complication rates between bimaxillary and single-jaw surgeries are not well understood.
- An analysis using the American College of Surgeons database compared outcomes among patients undergoing different jaw surgeries, revealing that bimaxillary surgery had higher complication rates, longer operative times, and longer hospital stays compared to single-jaw surgeries.
- Key risk factors for complications included performing bimaxillary surgery in an outpatient setting and having a higher American Society of Anesthesiology (ASA) class (3 or higher), indicating more severe medical conditions.
