    A common craniofacial manifestation of this disease is hemifacial microsomia, which is identified as a condition in which the lower half of one of the sides of the face is not developed fully and therefore does not grow properly. Another craniofacial manifestation that was found to be associated with Townes-Brock syndrome in a case study was a second branchial cleft anomaly (Alyono et al 2014). Many people diagnosed with this syndrome are on a high calorie diet, which increases their risk for caries (Schulte 2016). The imperforated anus is often treated immediately through surgical procedures and surgery is also used for severe hand…

    Dr. Thomas Romo, the director of facial, plastic and reconstructive surgery at Lenox Hill Hospital and the Manhattan Eye, Ear and Throat Hospital, runs the foundation, which was started in 2002. Romo has treated children with deformities all around the world and wanted to bring that idea home to the U.S. The organization’s intent hasn’t changed since its inception: correcting low-income children’s facial deformities, such as a cleft lip, or facial palsy, says Romo.

The day started out normal as I woke up and prepared for a baseball game. I was pitching that game and I was stoked to start. I got to field feeling good and mentally ready for the game. My arm felt great and I was ready to go. The first inning went smoothly as I got the first three batters out. However, the next inning would change my life forever. I started out walking the first batter and then the hits kept coming. Now that I look back on it I remember several line drives going straight over my head. Then next thing later I take a line drive straight into the mouth.…

A dental assistant has administrative duties and also helps the dentist during patient procedures. Meanwhile, a dental hygienist focuses on clinical work with patients, even performing some tasks without a dentist's immediate oversight.…
