Article Synopsis
- * Researchers measured intercanine and intermolar distances, as well as dental arch length, in a group of 28 UCLP patients and compared these measurements to a control group of 30 healthy children.
- * Results indicated that UCLP patients had significantly shorter intercanine distance and arch length than the control group, while intermolar distance showed no significant differences; the dental arch relationships improved over the years but remained reduced compared to healthy peers.
Article Synopsis
- Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is a rare genetic condition that causes skin blisters and has an increased risk of early squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), which is often fatal in patients with the dystrophic form.
- SCC treatment typically involves surgically removing the tumor with a focus on preserving healthy tissue and using secondary healing methods to minimize patient trauma, while also considering amputation in serious cases.
- Comprehensive patient care is crucial, including pain management, wound care, psychological support, and exploring palliative options at specialized EB centers.

Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated speech outcomes and dental arch relationships in 5-year-old Czech patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) who underwent early surgery.
- Results showed moderate hypernasality, with average articulation and speech intelligibility scores indicating some challenges, while dental outcomes were generally positive with most patients scoring well on the GOSLON scale.
- The findings suggest that timely neonatal repair procedures yield effective speech and dental results, aligning with outcomes from other cleft treatment centers.
Extrarenal malignant rhabdoid tumour (EMRT) is very rare and aggresive childhood neoplasm with a rapid progression. The prognosis is still very poor with 80 % mortality rate. We report a case of a newborn baby with extrarenal malignant rhabdoid tumour of an upper eyelid.
