Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Judith Gurley"
Judith Gurley's research primarily explores surgical and biological interventions in pediatric conditions, including obstructive sleep apnea and cleft palate development.
One of her significant studies demonstrated that neonatal mandibular distraction surgery effectively reduces obstructive apnea in infants with micrognathia, thereby decreasing the need for tracheotomy.
Additionally, her work on apoptosis and epithelial-mesenchymal transformation in an in vitro cleft palate model provides insights into the mechanisms behind palatal fusion, which could inform future treatments for cleft palate anomalies.
