Cleft lip and palate (CL/P) are prevalent congenital anomalies with complex genetic causes. The G874A mutation of T-box transcription factor 22 (TBX-22) gene is notably associated with CL/P, while the underlying mechanism remains to be clarified. Studies have shown that the restriction of epithelial-mesenchymal transformation (EMT) process in medial edge epithelial cells (MEEs) is crucial for CL/P development.

Adenosine-to-inosine (A-to-I) editing, is a highly prevalent posttranscriptional modification of RNA, mediated by the adenosine deaminases acting on RNA (ADAR) proteins. Mammalian transcriptomes contain tens of thousands to millions of A-to-I editing events. Mutations in ADAR can result in rare autoinflammatory disorders such as Aicardi-Goutières syndrome (AGS) through to irreversible conditions such as motor neuron disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

Background: Congenital heart disease (CHD) is a birth defect of the heart that requires long-term care and often leads to additional health complications. Effective educational strategies are essential for improving health literacy and care outcomes. Despite affecting around 40,000 children annually in the United States, there is a gap in understanding children's health literacy, parental educational burdens, and the efficiency of health care providers in delivering education.

It was hypothesized that the stem size planned with accordance to the diaphyseal canal width alone can accommodate the distal femur successfully with no sizing mismatch. Forty-six patients (53 hips) suffering from secondary osteoarthritis due to hip dysplasia scheduled for total hip arthroplasty (THA) with a subtrochanteric transverse shortening osteotomy were included.
