Background: The aim of this randomized controlled trial was to assess the effectiveness of taping alone in changing nose and lip aesthetics in infants with unilateral complete cleft lip and palate before and after surgical lip repair.
Methods: The study design was a prospective, balanced, randomized, parallel-group, single-blinded, controlled trial. All the steps were carried out in the Department of Orthodontics of Cairo University in Egypt.

Objective: The aim of the current study was to introduce and measure the effectiveness of a new 3D-printed nasoalveolar molding (D-NAM) appliance on improving the maxillary arch dimensions (MADs) in infants with unilateral complete cleft lip and palate (UCLP) before surgical lip repair.
Design: A prospective, balanced, randomized, parallel groups, single-blinded, controlled trial.
Setting: All the steps of the current study were carried in the Department of Orthodontics, Cairo University in Egypt.

Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to evaluate how effective taping is in altering the maxillary arch dimensions (MADs) in infants with unilateral complete cleft lip and palate (UCLP) prior to their lip surgery.
- - It involved a randomized controlled trial with 31 nonsyndromic infants divided into a control group (no treatment) and a taping group, which received horizontal tape treatment to reduce the cleft gap, with measurements taken at two different times.
- - Results showed that the taping group had significant improvements in MADs compared to the control group, suggesting that taping is an effective method for preparing infants for surgical lip repair.
Introduction: Duodenal gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are rare but still represent approximately 30 % of primary duodenal tumors. This study aimed to audit the feasibility and oncological outcomes of limited duodenal resection in patients with primary nonmetastatic duodenal GIST.
Methods: Twelve patients who underwent surgery at our institution since 2002 were prospectively followed up.
This study includes 60 patients having schistosomal hepatic fibrosis and esophageal varices. Splenectomy alone was done for 14 patients having no history of haematemesis and gastroesophageal decongestion with splenectomy was done for the remaining 46 patients with history of haematemesis. Endoscopic variceal pressure measurements were done to all of them peroperatively and 21 days postoperatively.
