Krasowski","doi":"10.1080/08869634.2019.1618531","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/08869634.2019.1618531","url":null,"abstract":"This book was written to provide the dental/medical provider insight into the etiology and pathogenesis associated with osteomyelitis and subsequent treatment options. Taimur Khan stated, “Osteomyelitis of the jaws is a challenging disease for clinicians and patients, despite many advances in the diagnosis and treatment of the disease. Any adverse changes arising from any immunosuppressive systemic disease will readily manifest itself in the oral cavity. Osteomyelitis is not an exception to this observation. Thus, a careful evaluation of an apparently healthy individual presenting with jaw swelling that may be associated with odontogenic infection must always be emphasized.” Key features of Comprehensive Maxillofacial Osteomyelitis provide detailed information about osteomyelitis of the jaw. The chapters presented are intended to familiarize the reader with the disease, its etiopathogenesis, and clinicopathological features. This book is presented in a chronology that leads the dentist/medical provider through the diagnostic process. The chapters discuss the classification and staging systems of osteomyelitis (Zurich classification system). The subsequent chapters lead a discussion regarding radiographic appearance via the various imaging techniques and advantages of each during diagnosis. These imaging techniques include X-ray, 3D imaging, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which are all discussed in this chapter. The chapters are presented with excellent treatment modalities for the various presentations of osteomyelitis, as seen clinically. Subsequent prognosis is given regarding the disease progress and intervention recommended. Clinically acceptable practices are presented with expectations for resolution of pathology. An excellent blueprint for differential diagnosis is offered to the readers for a methodical process for treatment success. Following the excellent presentation of this book, you will find a lengthy bibliography with “extensive amounts of references nicely illustrated and backed up with qualitative literature” (Khan). The book Comprehensive Maxillofacial Osteomyelitis would be an excellent resource for dental/medical providers to add to their library of knowledge. This book is a quick read with very impressive information at your fingertips. If you are looking to enhance your diagnosis, treatment, and understanding of osteomyelitis, this book is for you.","PeriodicalId":162405,"journal":{"name":"CRANIO®","volume":"142 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123264523","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: Arthrocentesis procedures were performed in 32 joints from 32 patients with magnetic resonance imaging-based diagnoses of anterior disc displacement without reduction. The patients were randomly divided into two groups according to the surgical procedure received (single-puncture arthrocentesis Type 1 or double-puncture). Maximum mouth opening, pain at rest, pain while chewing, pain at maximum mouth opening, tenderness level, and treatment tolerability were measured. Procedure duration and analgesic required were also considered. Results: The rates of improvement of the outcome variables were not significantly different between the two groups. However, the duration of the single-puncture arthrocentesis technique was significantly longer than the double-puncture (p ˂ 0.0001). Conclusion: Both the single- and double-puncture technique are similarly tolerated and efficacious for the treatment of temporomandibular joint disorders.","PeriodicalId":162405,"journal":{"name":"CRANIO®","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128654154","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

J. Feld","doi":"10.1080/08869634.2018.1512511","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/08869634.2018.1512511","url":null,"abstract":"Parkinson’s disease is a neurodegenerative brain disorder. Normally, there are brain cells (neurons) in the human brain that produce dopamine. These neurons concentrate in a particular area of the brain, called the substantia nigra. Dopamine is a chemical that relays messages between the substantia nigra and other parts of the brain to control movement of the human body. Dopamine helps humans to have smooth coordinated muscle movements. When dopamine-producing cells do not produce enough dopamine, the motor symptoms of Parkinson’s disease appear. This process of impairment of brain cells is called neurodegeneration [1]. Dopamine has been demonstrated to play a role in pain processing in multiple levels of the central nervous system, including the spinal cord, thalamus, and basal ganglia [2–5]. Decreased levels of dopamine have been associated with painful symptoms that frequently occur in Parkinson’s disease [6]. Abnormalities in dopaminergic neurotransmission have also been demonstrated in painful clinical conditions, including burning mouth syndrome, fibromyalgia, and restless legs syndrome [7–10]. Data supports the suggestion that the influence of substance P (SP) on the internal compensation system is, to a significant extent, mediated by dopaminergic mechanisms and provides a possible explanation for the effects of the neuropeptide seen in a conditioned place preference reflex [11]. The current theory (so-called Braak’s hypothesis) [1] is that the earliest signs of Parkinson’s are found in the enteric nervous system, the medulla, and in particular, the olfactory bulb, which controls the sense of smell. Under this theory, Parkinson’s only progresses to the substantia nigra and cortex over the years. This theory is increasingly borne out by evidence that non-motor symptoms, such as a loss of sense of smell, hyposmia, sleep disorders, constipation, and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) may precede the motor features of the disease by several years. For this reason, researchers are increasingly focused on these “non-motor” symptoms to both detect Parkinson’s disease as early as possible and to look for ways to stop its progression. When the jaw is misaligned, the trigeminal nerve is hyper activated through the necessary accommodations that it has to perform. This affects all aspects of the trigeminal nerve: sensory, motor, and proprioceptive. Hence, any and all aspects of trigeminal neutral interactions can be affected, leading to a very broad array of disorders [12]. A major reason for the consequential medical disorders is due to the fact that jaw misalignment causes SP levels to become elevated in the body. SP is the neurotransmitter from C fibers (pain sensors) that sends all pain signals to the brain. The trigeminal nerve has an extreme high density of pain fibers, thus causing it to have a major effect on SP levels in the body. SP is released from the terminals of specific sensory nerves; it is found in the brain and spinal cord.
