Current surgical management of bilateral cleft lip in North America.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Today's criterion standards for measuring functional recovery after nerve trauma in experimental studies are the muscle mass ratio and the isometric tetanic force; both tests are invasive and require a sacrificial procedure. The authors propose ultrasound as a noninvasive method to determine muscle atrophy, ...
