Twitter Analysis

Objectives: To evaluate the bullying in individuals with cleft lip and/or palate (CLP) by Twitter analysis. Materials and Methods: Twitter’s advanced search function was used while the term ‘cleft lip and palate’ was kept constant, and the selected keywords were ‘bully’, ‘bullying’, ‘bullied’ and ‘teased’. A total of 150 tweets that met the criteria were selected. The data were qualitatively evaluated by thematic analysis and the themes were determined based on this analysis. Results: Most of the tweets were posted by a layperson (76%). Also, nearly half of the tweets were categorized in the theme ‘personal experience of being bullied’ (43%). The tweets were distributed according to their uploader status as CLP subjects (46%), irrelevant individuals (28%), and parents of CLP subjects’ (26%). Of the 150 tweets evaluated, 74 were identified as negative, while 25 were identified as neutral and 51 as positive. No significant differences were detected in retweet and like numbers between negative, neutral, and positive comments (P > .05). Conclusions: This is the first study in the literature regarding the bullying suffered by individuals with CLP using Twitter data. Twitter is a social media platform for bullying victims with CLP to share their experiences and seek for social support.

Buccal Flap

Purpose The 2 most commonly used operations to treat velopharyngeal inadequacy (VPI) are superiorly based pharyngeal flap and sphincter pharyngoplasty, both of which may result in hyponasal speech and airway obstruction. The purpose of this article is to (a) describe the bilateral buccal flap revision palatoplasty (BBFRP) as an alternative technique to manage VPI while minimizing these risks and (b) conduct a systematic review of the evidence of BBFRP on speech and other clinical outcomes. A report comparing the speech of a child with hypernasality before and after BBFRP is presented. Method A review of databases was conducted for studies of buccal flaps to treat VPI. Using the principles of a systematic review, the articles were read, and data were abstracted for study characteristics that were developed a priori. With respect to the case report, speech and instrumental data from a child with repaired cleft lip and palate and hypernasal speech were collected and analyzed before and after surgery. Results Eight articles were included in the analysis. The results were positive, and the evidence is in favor of BBFRP in improving velopharyngeal function, while minimizing the risk of hyponasal speech and obstructive sleep apnea. Before surgery, the child's speech was characterized by moderate hypernasality, and after surgery, it was judged to be within normal limits. Conclusion Based on clinical experience and results from the systematic review, there is sufficient evidence that the buccal flap is effective in improving resonance and minimizing obstructive sleep apnea. We recommend BBFRP as another approach in selected patients to manage VPI. Supplemental Material https://doi.org/10.23641/asha.9919352
