A Longitudinal Investigation of Nasolabial Changes With and Without Revision Surgery in Patients with Non-Syndromic Unilateral Cleft Lip and Palate.

Objective: To determine a baseline of anticipated change in nasolabial appearance following primary repair of unilateral cleft lip/palate and evaluate the degree to which revision surgery improves nasolabial appearance.

Design: Retrospective chart review.

Setting: Patients treated at the Lancaster Cleft Palate Clinic interdisciplinary clinic.

Evaluating SWAG and Its Validity When Compared to 3D Imagery of Secondarily Grafted Cleft Sites.

Objective: To test validity of 2D Standardized Way to Assess Grafts (SWAG) ratings to assess 3D outcomes of bone grafting (ABG).

Patients: 43 patients (34 UCLP, 9 BCLP) with non-syndromic complete clefts, bone-grafted at mean age 9yrs/3mos, with available post-graft occlusal radiographs and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) (taken mean 4yrs/9mos post-ABG).

Main Outcome Measures: 2D occlusal radiographs rated twice using SWAG by 6 calibrated raters.

Using Experiential Learning in Escape Rooms to Deliver Policies and Procedures in Academic and Acute Care Settings.

Puzzle rooms, recently termed "escape rooms," have been in existence for several years and are increasing in popularity in the United States. These experiential learning rooms create an inviting learning environment for both the academic and acute care learner. Learners are placed in strategic cooperative learning groups to promote teamwork, collaboration, critical thinking, and communication.

A Novel Pharmaceutical Care Model for High-Risk Patients.

A medication optimization clinic improved patient adherence, disease outcomes, and communication among health care providers at an Indian Health Service facility.

Development and Cross-Validation of High-Resolution Melting Analysis-Based Cardiovascular Pharmacogenetics Genotyping Panel.

Aims: This study was designed to develop a high-resolution melting (HRM) analysis-based cardiovascular (CV) pharmacogenetics (PGx) genotyping panel for the Canon DNA Genetic Analyzer multiplex genotyping platform and cross-validate its performance with the TaqMan-based OpenArray method.

Methods: The CV PGx genotyping panel containing 17 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) selected from 5 genes (CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP4F2, SLCO1B1, and VKORC1) and the CYP2C cluster was used to compare genotyping results between analysis methods. Genomic DNA from 223 clinical samples was used to genotype the 17 SNPs on the Canon DNA Genetic Analyzer and TaqMan OpenArray Quant Studio Real-Time PCR (polymerase chain reaction) System.
