Parents of Children with Cleft Lip Exhibit Heightened Visual Attention to the Perioral Area.

Unlabelled: Following high-quality surgical repair, children born with a cleft lip anomaly may still display lasting visual differences. We exposed control adults and parents of affected children to images of children with cleft deformity and compared their visual tracking patterns. The protocol investigated whether parental exposure to secondary cleft deformity heightens or diminishes visual attraction to this type of structural facial variation.

Unique challenges posed by a dysfunctional native right ventricular outflow tract for percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation using SAPIEN-S3 valve.

Dysfunctional right ventricular outflow tracts after a repair for tetralogy of Fallot using a transannular patch offer limited nonsurgical opportunities due to their large dimensions. A discrete subannular narrowing between a dilated right ventricle and the enlarged pulmonary trunk was a potential anatomical target for the creation of a landing zone using a prestent in a young male with severe pulmonary regurgitation and moderate stenosis. Asymmetric expansion of the prestent in the angulated outflow tract led to distal stent embolization that was stabilized by another telescoping stent before successful valve implantation.

Seminal Studies in Facial Reanimation Surgery: Consensus and Controversies in the Top 50 Most Cited Articles.

Facial paralysis can impair one's ability to form facial expressions that are congruent with internal emotion. This hinders communication and the cognitive processing of emotional experience. Facial reanimation surgery, which aims to restore full facial expressivity is a relatively recent undertaking which is still evolving.

Bacterial vaginosis in pregnancy - a storm in the cup of tea.

Human vaginal microbiota is dominated by Lactobacillus spp both in the non-pregnant and pregnant state. Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is an imbalance of vaginal microbiota caused by a reduction in the normal lactobacillary bacteria, and a heavy over-growth of mixed anaerobic bacteria. Various clinical (Amsel's Criteria), laboratory (Nugent's score) and molecular diagnostic method (quantitative PCR) are used for diagnosis.

Pediatric oncology and stem cell transplant patients with healthcare-associated Clostridium difficile infection were already colonized on admission.

Unlabelled: Clostridium difficile is the leading cause of healthcare-associated infections worldwide. The diagnosis of C. difficile infection (CDI) in pediatric oncology patients is complex as diarrhea is common, and there is a high rate of colonization in infants and young children.

Measuring visual attention to faces with cleft deformity.

Background: Limited data are available regarding observers' visual attention to faces with congenital difference. We implemented eye tracking technology to examine this issue, as it pertains particularly to faces with cleft deformity.

Method: Four hundred three observers assessed 273 clinical images, while their eye movements were unobtrusively tracked using an infrared sensor.
