The abnormal anatomy in the cleft palate has been of interest to surgeons for a long time. Different authors have independently evolved the techniques of radical reconstruction of the palatal musculature and have suggested the medial approach to dissect the levator. We hereby report the technique in which the levator is identified through the lateral incision of the soft palate. This lateral approach helps in the complete release of the levator from all abnormal attachments and ensures reconstruction of an effective sling. This technique is of particular benefit in a palate re-repair.

Background: Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD) describes a wide range of neurological defects and craniofacial malformations associated with prenatal ethanol exposure. While there is growing evidence for a genetic component to FASD, little is known of the cellular mechanisms underlying these ethanol-sensitive loci in facial development. Endoderm morphogenesis to form lateral protrusions called pouches is one key mechanism in facial development.

Choices to approach or avoid are common in everyday life and excessive avoidance is a cardinal feature of all anxiety disorders. Here, we used intracranial EEG to define a distributed prefrontal-limbic circuit dynamics supporting approach and avoidance.

Although numerous definitions of brain death exist, the diagnosis and diagnostic process remain open to interpretation. We present the case of a 32-year-old male with systemic lupus erythematosus who presented to an outside hospital following a cardiac arrest while jogging. His electroencephalogram (EEG) showed abnormal contour in the posterior fields.

Background Femoral neuropathy is a significant postoperative complication in gynecological surgery that can severely impact patient mobility and quality of life. Among various mechanisms of nerve injury, retractor-induced compression against the pelvic sidewall has been identified as a particularly crucial causative factor. Despite this well-recognized mechanism and its clinical importance, few studies have investigated specific preventive strategies for this iatrogenic complication.

Background: A contemporary trend favours a restricted kinematic alignment (rKA) strategy, incorporating safe boundaries to restore a variable percentage of a patient's natural alignment.This study aims to compare preoperative and postoperative coronal plane knee alignment (CPAK) in patients undergoing bilateral TKA with SAIPH implants (MatOrtho, UK). The concept was to control the implant (same prosthesis both sides), patient (bilateral model) and assess what effect any surgical alteration in alignment had on patient's outcomes measured by patient-reported outcome measures (PROMS) and patient satisfaction.
