Cleft lip
Physical split or separation of two sides of upper lip and appears as narrow opening or gap in skin of upper lip
This separation often extends beyond base of nose and includes bones of upper jaw and/or upper gum
Cleft Palate
congenital fissure or elongated opening in soft and/or hard palate
opening in hard and/or soft palate due to improper union of maxillary process and median nasal process during second month of intrauterine development( GPT-8)
Cleft lip and palate are most common congenital craniofacial anomalies treated by plastic surgeons.
Cleft care - collaborative multidisciplinary team approch
Successful treatment of these children requires technical skill, in-depth knowledge of abnormal anatomy, and appreciation of three-dimensional facial aesthetics
July is National Cleft and Craniofacial Awareness Month. A time to raise awareness about and prevention for a congenital condition known as cleft lip and palate and other condition of head and face as well.
Craniofacial anomalies are a diverse group of deformities in the growth of the head and facial region. These abnormalities are present at birth. These conditions affect many children in Pakistan every year. Talking about facial cleft, approx. one in every 500 babies, is born with a cleft in our country
There are MANY children who gets timely treatment and lead normal lives but on the other hand millions of children and adults suffer with unrepaired clefts. Many are abandoned shortly after birth or kept hidden away from society. Most find it difficult to attend school, communicate easily, find jobs or get married. This is usually common in low SE areas. We CAN reduce the numbers by proper awareness programs in areas needed because no child deserves to be left without the treatment
Cleft lip and cleft palate are the most common type of birth defects
They result when structures that form upper lip and palate fail to join together during 4-10th week of development. Clefts are classified as unilateral, bilateral, oblique, non-syndromic, syndromic
It can range from a small notch to a wide gap that reaches the nose and palate
WHAT CAUSES CLEFT LIP AND PALATE?
The exact reason why this happens to some babies is often unclear. It's very unlikely to have been caused by anything you did or did not do during pregnancy.
But it can be associated with genetics, low folic acid level during pregnancy, diabetes, use of alcohol during pregnancy, smoking during pregnancy, and consanguineous marriages as well (that comes under genetics). Use of certain medicines like phenytoin, sodium valproate, benzodiazepines and corticosteroids during pregnancy may also add to the chances
WHEN IS IT DIAGNOSED?
A cleft lip is usually diagnosed during the scan done when you're between 18 and 21 weeks pregnant. Cleft palate is usually difficult to detect on US scan
If a cleft lip or palate does not show up on the scan, it's usually diagnosed immediately after birth or during the newborn physical examination done within 72 hours of birth.
When diagnosed you’re referred to a specialist who will explain the condition and discuss about the treatment plan and other questions u have
TREATMENT
Treatment of CLP child needs several treatment and assessments. It requires a cleft care team that can provide multidisciplinary care. Each treatment has a certain time and should be done at a proper time.

Tom Selleck, an enduring figure in Hollywood. has captivated audiences for decades with his rugged charm, iconic moustache. and memorable roles in television and film. From his breakout role as Thomas Magnum in Magnum P.I. to his current portrayal of Frank Reagan in Blue Bloods. Selleck's career has spanned over 50 years. But beyond his professional achievements. fans have often been curious about Tom Selleck Health. especially as he has aged in the public eye.
Follow us on: Pinterest
Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility
In recent years, Selleck has emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility in his fitness regimen. Understanding the natural decline in muscle mass and joint flexibility with age. he includes stretching and yoga in his routine. These practices help prevent injuries, improve posture, and maintain mobilit
New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!
Couples presenting to the infertility clinic- Do they really have infertility...Sujoy Dasgupta
Dr Sujoy Dasgupta presented the study on "Couples presenting to the infertility clinic- Do they really have infertility? – The unexplored stories of non-consummation" in the 13th Congress of the Asia Pacific Initiative on Reproduction (ASPIRE 2024) at Manila on 24 May, 2024.
2. Introduction
• Cleft lip and palate are the most common congenital
craniofacial anomalies treated by plastic surgeons.
• Cleft care requires that the plastic surgeon be a member of a
collaborative multidisciplinary team.
• Successful treatment of these children requires technical
skill, in-depth knowledge of the abnormal anatomy, and
appreciation of three-dimensional facial aesthetics.
3. EPIDEMIOLOGY
• the most common diagnosis is cleft lip and palate at 46%,
• Isolated cleft palate at 33%
• isolated cleft lip at 21%.
• Majority of bilateral cleft lips (86%) and unilateral cleft lips (68%) are associated with a cleft
palate.
• In the white population, cleft lip with or without cleft palate occurs in approximately 1 in 1,000
live births.
• twice as common in the Asian population
• half as common in African Americans
4. ETIOPATHOGENESIS
• Both environmental teratogens and genetic factors are implicated in the genesis of cleft lip and
palate
• Intrauterine exposure to the anticonvulsant phenytoin is associated with a 10-fold increase in
the incidence of cleft lip.
• Maternal smoking during pregnancy doubles the incidence of cleft lip.
• Genetic abnormalities can result in syndromes that include clefts of the primary or secondary
palates among the developmental fields affected.
• The most common syndrome associated with cleft lip and palate is van derWoude syndrome
• DiGeorge, or conotruncal anomaly syndromes are the most common diagnoses associated with
isolated cleft palate.
5. MULTIDISCIPLINARY CLEFT
CARE
• cleft lip and or palate require coordinated care from multiple specialties to
optimize treatment outcome.
• Typical members of a cleft team:
• audiologist, dentist, geneticist, nurse, nutritionist/dietitian, oral surgeon, orthodontist,
otolaryngologist, pediatrician, plastic surgeon, psychologist, social worker, and speech
pathologist.
• The goal of cleft care is to eliminate as many steps in the treatment plan as
possible by optimizing the outcome and benefit of each essential intervention.
• a child with a cleft requires a complex lengthy surgical treatment plan

11. Embryological Background
•Various theories have been given for its
development.
1. Alteration in intrinsic palatal shelf force
2. Failure of tongue to drop down
3. Non fusion of shelves
4. Rupture of cyst formed at the site of fusion
12. Classification
• We classify as the follows:
• its combined (cl+cp) or isolated cleft(cl or cp)?
• is it unilateral or bilateral?
• is it complete (if it cross the nasal philtrum) or incomplete ( if
it doesn’t cross the nasal philtrum.
13. Nagpur classification
• Group I - Cleft of lip
• Group I(A) - Cleft of lip & alveolus
• Group II - Cleft of palate
• Group II(S) - Submucous cleft of palate
• Group III - Cleft of lip & palate
16. Kriens “LAHSHAL”
L = Lip (right)
A = Alveolus (right)
H = Hard Palate (right)
S = Soft Palate (median)
H = Hard Palate (left)
A = Alveolus (left)
L = Lip (left)
Capital letter = complete cleft
Lowercase letter = incomplete cleft
“.” or “-” = normal
Examples
LA….l = complete right cleft lip and alveolus,
incomplete left cleft lip
LAHS = complete right unilateral cleft lip, alveolus,
hard, and soft palate
17. Other Types of Clefts
• Microform Cleft:
• May look like
• a little dent in the red part of the lip
• a scar from the lip up to the nostril.
• Muscle tissue underneath the cleft can
be affected and may require surgery
• Submucous Cleft Palate:
• Midline deficiency or lack of muscular
tissue
• Often a submucous cleft palate is
associated with a bifid or cleft uvula
• Posterior nasal spine is almost always
missing
• Speech Problems are common
18. Prenatal Diagnosis
• Cleft lip can be easily diagnosed
by performing ultrasonography in
the second trimester
• Diagnosing a cleft palate with
ultrasonography is very difficult
• Three-dimensional imaging has
been introduced to prenatal
ultrasonography diagnostics of
cleft anomalies
19. Diagnosis
• Advantages of Prenatal
Diagnosis:
1. Time for parental education
2. Time for parental psychological
preparation
3. Opportunity to investigate other
associated anomalies
4. Gives parents the choice of
continuing the pregnancy
5. Opportunity for fetal surgery
20. Etiology
• “Actually no one knows exactly what causes clefts”
• Multiple factors may be involved, like:
• Genetics (inherited characteristic) from one or both parents
.
• Environmental factors
• Drugs: corticosteroids (anti-inflammatory), phenytoin
(anticonvulsant), retinoid.
• Infections: like rubella during pregnancy.
• Alcohol consumption, smoking, hypoxia during pregnancy,
some of dietary and vitamins deficiencies (like folic acid and
vitamin A deficiency)
• Maternal Age
21. GENETICS
CL/P
• Normal parents, one child with CL/P 4% risk CL/P in next child
• Normal parents, two kids with CL/P 9% risk CL/P in next child
• One parent CL/P, no affected kids 4% risk CL/P in next child
• One parent CL/P, one child CL/P 17% risk CL/P in next child
• Risk of CL/P in siblings increases with severity of deformity
• - child with unilateral CL risk CL/P next child 2.5%
• - child with bilateral CL/P risk CL/P next child 5.7%
CP
• Normal parents, one child with CP 2% risk of CP in next child
• Normal parents, 2 children with CP 7% risk of CP in next child
• Parent with CP, no affected children 6% risk for next child
• Parent with CP, one child with CP 15% risk for next child
• All infants with clefs must be evaluated for presence of other anomalies
• Associated nomalies are more common in infants with isolated CP
22. Nonsyndromic Cleft
Pierre Robin Sequence is the most
common associated nonsyndromic
anomaly
• is a relative term describing the small size
of the lower jaw ) and Glossoptosis (is a
medical condition and abnormality which
refers to the downward displacement or
retraction of the tongue)
23. Syndromic Cleft
Common Syndromes
Stickler (25% of syndromic CP) –
• autosomal dominant type 2 collagen gene
• Pierre Robin, ocular/hearing/joint malformations
Velocardiofacial (Shprintzen’s) – 15% of syndromic
CP
• Autosomal dominant, variable expressivity, CATCH

1. The premaxilla is extremely
protrusive
2. The premaxilla and prolabium can
be of variable size
3. The columella is deficient/almost
nonexistent
4. The palatal shelves are collapsed
40. • Protrusive maxilla
imperative to be
repositioned
• Premaxillary orthopedics with
inraoral aplliance
• Denture adhesive
• Elastic strap
43. Rule of Ten
Primary repair- repaired at approximately 10 weeks
• The surgeon usually uses the “Rule of Ten”
• The child weighs 10 pounds
• The child has a hemoglobin of at least 10 grams
• The child has a white count of no higher than 10,000
• The child is at least 10 weeks of age
47. Cleft Palate Repair - Timing
• Dorf and Curtin
• 10% occurrence of articulation errors when palatoplasty was
completed by 1 year
• 86% incidence of articulation errors when repair was complete after 1
year
• Haapanen and Rantala –
• Significantly fewer children in the groups repaired before 18 months
had hypernasal speech, articulation errors, or required secondary
surgery to correct speech
49. Cleft Palate Repair
Schweckendick’s Primary Veloplasty
• Incisions made in soft palate
• Muscle bundles released from the posterior hard palate and rotated
• Reconstruction of levator sling
• Closure of mucosal layers separately
50. Cleft Palate Repair
V-Y Pushback (WARDILL OPERATION)
• Two uni-pedicled flaps (greater palatine artery) and one or two anteriorly based pedicled flaps
• Posterior flaps rotated in a V-Y advancement technique - increasing the length of the palate
• Nasal mucosa not closed
• Improved speech results compared with bipedicled techniques
• Indicated for incomplete clefts
52. Cleft Palate Repair
Furlow Palatoplasty
• Lengthens the soft palate
• Reconstructs the muscle sling.
• Also commonly used to correct velopharyngeal insufficiency in patients with
submucous cleft palate
• Speech outcomes are improved compared with other palatoplasty techniques.
53. How do you manage ear
disease?• 96% of children with cleft palate
required tympanostomy tube
placement
• 50% of these children required
repeat tympanostomy tube
placement.
• Frequency of otitis media
decreases as the child with CP
ages
• Audiology and tympanometry as
well as exams / clinical history
54. Orthodontic Treatment of Transitional
Dentition
• The purpose the dentition adjacent to cleft has to be orthodontically repositioned to
prepare the cleft side for the secondary alveolar bone graft
• Preparing the maxillary arch for a bone graft (6-12 months) :
1. Bonded edgewise appliance
2. Supported with a maxillary expander quad helix expander
55. Alveolar Bone Grafting
• Primary Bone Grafting
• Bone graft done at the time of primary cheiloplasty
• Bone graft done during the first 2 years of life
• Bone graft done prior to the eruption of the primary canine
56. Secondary Bone Grafting
• Done before eruption of the permanent canine
• Usually when the root of the canine is 1/3 to 2/3 formed
• Usually between ages 8-10
• In CLP dental age is usually behind chronological age
59. Alveolar Bone Grafting
1. Provide bone for the eruption and/or orthodontic repositioning of teeth
2. Closure of oro-nasal fistulas
3. Support and elevation of the alar base
4. Stabilization of the pre-maxilla in bilateral cases
5. Provide continuity of the alveolar ridge
60. Types of bone grafts
• Autogenous
• Cancellous- iliac crest
• Cortical- calvarium, mandible
• Cortico-cancellous- iliac, rib, tibia, mandible
• *Allogeneic
• Graft resorbs, remodels, may contribute to osteoinduction and osteoconduction
• **Alloplast
• Bone grows into, around alloplast
• No active osteoinduction but some osteoconduction
• Teeth do not erupt through alloplast

78. Surgical Management of Velopharyngeal
Insufficiency
Major Goals of Surgery
• Close the gap or hole between the roof of the mouth and the nose.
• Reconnect the muscles that normally make the palate work.
• Make the repaired palate long enough so that when the muscles are working, the palate
can perform its function properly.
