Oral Clefts Leslie Adams West Coast University Abstract A lack of fusion from the nasal and maxillary processes that form the upper lip is considered to a cleft lip (Damjanov, 2012). Cleft lip can be from air pollution, nitrate intake from water, prenatal smoking, diabetes, and medications. Trisomy 13 and 18, Van der Woude syndrome, Velocardiofacial syndrome and Median facial dysplasia are common syndromes that cleft lip is associated with (Venkatesh 2009). An increase of O3 can possibly

Cleft lip is when the lip forms between the fourth and the seventh week of the pregnancy. When the baby is developing during pregnancy, the body tissue and the special cells from each side of the head grows toward the center and joins together to make the face. The symptoms of cleft lip is a split in the lip and roof of the mouth and it can sometimes affect both sides of the face. Sometimes a cleft only occurs in the muscles of the soft palate, signs or symptoms are having trouble feeding the child

Running head: SCHOLARLY ARTICLE CRITIQUE Jennifer P. McCord Scholarly Article Critique Grand Canyon University Scholarly Article Critique The problem as stated appeared to be of profound significance for determining how to best benefit children with cleft type who have a learning disability in reading. While this may be true, the study resonates that there are signs of inconclusiveness. To specifically address shortcomings to the study, however, the stated problem was not clearly

Cleft palate is a congenital birth defect. Treatment of cleft palate requires the interdisciplinary efforts of a Cleft Palate/Craniofacial team, which includes speech-language pathologists and dentists. Approximately fifty percent of individuals who suffer from cleft palate have been shown to have disorders in speech and/or language, with the potential to benefit from treatment (LeDuc, 2008). Individuals with cleft palate may experience secondary disorders such as feeding and suckling difficulties

#6 Cleft/Lip Palate 1. Definition: • A face and mouth malformation that affects the fetus’s development early on in pregnancy. • Cleft lip is when the lip actually splits on both sides of the upper lip, leaving a gap • Cleft palate is when the palate of the opening of the mouth actually splits 2. What are the causes/risk factors: • The cause is typically unknown, yet most are believing it is linked to genetic or environmental factors. • Risk Factors:  Smoking  Diabetes  Use of certain medications

Case Study 20: The Digestive and Urinary Systems 1) Marissa, a newborn with a cleft lip and palate, is the third child of Juan and Maria. Both Juan and Maria are “visually alarmed” at Marissa’s appearance; however, Juan is more distant and reserved. Maria is very concerned with Marissa’s wellbeing and future and seems to take blame for Marissa’s physical condition. 2) The incidence of cleft lip (CL) with or without cleft palate (CP) is approximately 1 in 800 live births. The incidence of CP alone

Cleft lip and/or cleft palate are group of conditions that include cleft lip (CL), cleft palate (CP) or both (1). Cleft lip alone and combined cleft lip and palate defects are twice as common in males as females, while cleft palate alone is more common in females (2). Cleft Lip and/or Palate conditions are the most common facial birth defects which occur in all races, both sexes and all socioeconomic groups and their distribution vary from country to country and they account for 65% of all head

Scientists have researched into the subject of CLP or cleft lip/ pallet. Their studies have shown that in the United States of America, roughly 2,650 babies were born with cleft lip and roughly 4,440 babies were born with the cleft pallet with in the last year. 1/700 babies are affected by this particular genetic disorder. (C. Murray) However, having this disorder does not make you more likely to have another disorder. With numbers so high, that leaves the question of what is a cleft lip/ pallet

As a child I suffered from severe stuttering. I came to America at the age of five therefore, English is not my primary language. This made it difficult for me to learn English. I had the capacity to develop abstract ideas and understood what was being told to me. I could not articulate what I wanted to say. I didn’t not have the ability to communicate with others around me. My stuttering was so severe that it stunted my progress in learning English. The bullying I received in school caused me to

Introduction Cleft lip is formed when a baby’s nose and mouth do not form properly in the womb. These children are born with deformations to the mouth and nose. There are four main types of cleft lip that involve incomplete single and double clefts and also complete single and double clefts that cause deformations completely into the child’s nose. This can cause complications for the child to eat and breathe properly, but a series of surgeries can fix this complication. The cleft lip is basically
