The secondary objective was to assess the influence of initial cleft severity, family history of class III, and status of permanent lateral incisor on maxillary growth. In total, 54 patients with non-syndromic complete UCLP were included and grouped as follows: group An underwent lip adhesion, cheilorhinoplasty associated with tibial periosteal graft for hard palate repair, and finally veloplasty; group B underwent lip adhesion, then cheilorhinoplasty with intravelar veloplasty, and finally a hard-palate repair; group C underwent cheilorhinoplasty with intravelar veloplasty and then a hard-palate repair.

- VAD-BSI with coagulase-negative staphylococci is a common infection following allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplants, and the standard treatment involves IV vancomycin, which requires hospitalization and carries risks like renal toxicity and antibiotic resistance.
- At a single center, researchers treated 24 cases of uncomplicated VAD-BSI using oral minocycline as an alternative therapy, especially when IV vancomycin was not feasible or patients opted out of hospitalization.
- Results showed effective bacteremia clearance using minocycline, highlighting its potential as a safer outpatient treatment option for these infections.
