This study tested two ways to pull the upper jaw forward in 40 children aged 7-13 with underbite. One method used a traditional face mask attached to teeth, the other used tiny screws placed in the cheekbone. Both followed a special expansion protocol. The goal was to see which a…

This study looked at whether giving a low dose of a muscle relaxant (rocuronium) during bronchoscopy—a procedure where a tube is inserted into the lungs—could reduce complications like throat spasms and coughing. 153 adults having elective bronchoscopy were split into two groups:…

This study tested whether a powerful DNA test called high-throughput exome sequencing can find genetic causes of multiple birth defects in fetuses when standard exams fail. Researchers studied 100 fetuses with at least two malformations and no prior diagnosis. They compared the n…

This study tested whether a fast type of genetic test called rapid genome sequencing can find the cause of birth defects seen on ultrasound more quickly than current methods. Researchers included 184 pregnancies with certain ultrasound findings. The goal was to see if results cou…

This study looked at two methods to widen the upper jaw in adults whose jawbone has fully grown. One method uses small screws anchored in the roof of the mouth, and the other adds tiny bone punctures to help the jaw separate more easily. Twenty-four adults took part, and the resu…

This study looked at 34 children with a narrow upper jaw (maxillary hypoplasia) who needed a rapid palatal expander. Researchers measured the electrical activity of chewing muscles before treatment, right after expansion, and 6 months later. The goal was to see if correcting the …
