(1) Background: (Aiton) Sm. is a fast-growing woody plant belonging to the family . Two poplar genotypes characterized by unique phenotypic traits (TP11 and TP20) were chosen to be characterized and tested for a physiological and transcriptomic response to Cd stress.

Growth and development of the face in complete unilateral cleft lip and palate during prepubertal and pubertal periods.

Roentgencephalometry was used for the assessment of the growth and development of the face during prepubertal and pubertal periods in children with complete unilateral cleft lip and palate treated with the same methods. The first series included 16 boys and 15 girls, the second series consisted of 15 boys and 15 girls examined repeatedly at the beginning and at the end of the follow-up period. There were no definite differences in the growth rate of the face between the two periods of age.
