Oral Cavity01:11

Oral Cavity

817
The oral cavity, or the mouth, is a complex structure in humans that plays a vital role in our day-to-day lives. Its role is not only in chewing and swallowing food; it also plays a role in speech and facial expressions.
Teeth: The teeth are the hardest structures in our bodies. Humans have two sets of teeth throughout their lifetime: deciduous (baby) teeth and permanent teeth. Each tooth consists of several parts: the crown (visible part), the root (embedded in the jaw), enamel (hard outer...

Assessment of the Mouth01:26

Assessment of the Mouth

251
A thorough mouth assessment, including inspection and palpation of the lips, gums, tongue, tonsils, uvula, and pharynx, is crucial in detecting potential health issues. Diseases ranging from oral cancer to systemic conditions like diabetes could be identified early through careful oral examination. This article provides a detailed guide on conducting a comprehensive mouth assessment.
Mouth Inspection
The inspection begins with visually examining the mouth for symmetry, color, and size.

Asymmetric Lipid Bilayer01:35

Asymmetric Lipid Bilayer

7.3K
Biological membranes show uneven distribution of different types of lipids in the inner and outer layers, resulting in transverse asymmetric membranes. The treatment of the erythrocyte membrane with the enzyme phospholipase confirmed the asymmetric nature of the lipid bilayer. The enzyme hydrolyzes lipids into fatty acids and hydrophilic groups. The phospholipase acts only on the outer layer of the membrane, while the inner layer remains intact. The phospholipase treatment resulted in 80%...

Lipid Absorption01:24

Lipid Absorption

522
Dietary triglycerides from chyme in the duodenum are mixed with bile salts produced by the liver to emulsify fats. As a result, large droplets are broken down into smaller ones, increasing the surface area for enzymatic action. Once emulsified, pancreatic lipases hydrolyze the triglycerides into free fatty acids and monoglycerides.
These breakdown products bind with bile salts and lecithin to form micelles, which quickly pass between microvilli to come in close contact with the apical...

Types of Membrane Protrusions01:28

Types of Membrane Protrusions

2.9K
The protrusion of the cell surface is an initial step for several cellular processes, including cell migration, phagocytosis, and neurite outgrowth. These membrane protrusions are a result of cytoskeletal rearrangement. The most  widely observed cell protrusions include lamellipodia, pseudopodia, filopodia, microvilli, invadopodia, and podosomes. These protrusions can be of two types — static or dynamic.
The microvilli, an example of stable protrusions, are finger-like projections...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Median upper lip clefts, or Tessier 0 clefts, are rare congenital conditions resulting from incomplete development of nasal prominences. This study presents a case diagnosed prenatally, highlighting the importance of early identification for cleft lip repair.

Area of Science:

  • Craniofacial Surgery
  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Medical Genetics

Background:

  • Median upper lip clefts, classified as Tessier 0 clefts, are rare congenital anomalies.
  • These clefts result from the incomplete development of medial nasal prominences.
  • The incidence of median upper lip clefts among all cleft patients ranges from 0.43% to 0.73%.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report a case of median upper lip cleft diagnosed prenatally.
  • To discuss the diagnostic and management considerations for this rare condition.

Main Methods:

  • Prenatal diagnosis of a median upper lip cleft.
  • Surgical repair of the cleft lip.

Main Results:

  • A case of median upper lip cleft was successfully diagnosed prenatally.
  • The patient underwent surgical repair for the cleft lip.

Conclusions:

  • Median upper lip clefts are rare but require timely diagnosis and management.
  • Prenatal diagnosis facilitates planning for surgical intervention and improves outcomes.
