Objective: To determine if there is a benefit of 2-stage cleft lip repair in regard to improving facial symmetry and facilitating definitive lip, nose, and palate repair.

Study Design: Retrospective chart review of patients born with complete, unilateral cleft lip deformity that underwent a two-stage repair described as a stage 1 straight line repair and a stage 2 modified Millard repair, for which a complete set of records, and peri-operative and post-operative photos were available. All cases were performed by a single surgeon. Read More

Objectives: Microelectrode arrays offer a means to probe the functional circuitry of the brain and the promise of cortical neuroprosthesis for individuals suffering from paralysis or limb loss. These devices are typically comprised of one or more shanks incorporating microelectrode sites, where the shanks are positioned by inserting the devices along a straight path that is normal to the brain surface. The lack of consistent long-term chronic recording technology has driven interest in novel probe design and approaches that go beyond the standard insertion approach that is limited to a single velocity or axis.
