The arterial blood supply of the temporomandibular joint: an anatomical study and clinical implications
2013
Purpose: The aim of this study was to analyze three-dimensional images of the arterial supply to the temporomandibular joint. Materials and Methods: Ten patients (five men and five women, mean age 36 years) without signs or symptoms of temporomandibular disorders, who underwent contrast-enhanced computed tomographic (CT) scanning with intravenous contrast, were studied. The direct volume rendering technique of CT images was used, and a data set of images to visualize the vasculature of the human temporomandibular joint in three dimensions was created. After elaboration of the data through post-processing, the arterial supply of the temporomandibular joint was studied. Results: The analysis …
Haemotympanum gadījumi pie galvaskausa pamatnes lūzumiem
2016
Tēmas aktualitāte: Mūsdienās, galvas trauma ir viens no galvenajiem invaliditātes un nāves cēloņiem cilvēkiem darbaspējīgā vecumā. Ņemot vērā, pieaugošo galvas traumu skaitu, pieaug arī galvaskausa pamatnes lūzumu skaits. Vidusauss bojājums novērojams aptuveni vienai trešdaļai pacientu ar smagu galvas traumu. Kā viena no visbiežākajām vidusauss bojājuma izpausmēm ir haemotympanum, kas raksturojas ar dzirdes traucējumiem un sekojošu darbaspēju mazināšanos gados jauniem civēkiem. Mērķis: Izanalizēt RAKUS Gaiļezers medicīnas vēstures laika periodā no 2010-2014 gadiem, izvērtējot haemotympanum skaitu un ārstēšanas taktiku pie galvaskausa pamatnes lūzumiem. Materiāli un metodes: Pētījums tika ve…
Tensor tympani muscle: strange chewing muscle
2007
This work seeks to alert medical and odontological staff to understanding and using interdisciplinary handling for detecting different pathologies’ common otic symptoms. It offers better tools for this shared symptomatology during therapy’s conservative phase. Tensor tympani muscle physiology and function in the middle ear have been veiled, even when their dysfunction and anatomical relationships may explain a group of confused otic symptoms during conventional clinical evaluation. Middle ear muscles share a common embryological and functional origin with chewing and facial muscles. This article emphasizes that these muscles share a functional neurological and anatomical dimension with the …
Intratympanic gentamicin: a one day protocol treatment for unilateral Meniere’s disease.
2007
Purpose: The objective of this study was to assess the usefulness of low-dose intratympanic gentamicin administration in patients with Meniere’s disease (MD). Materials and Methods: We carried out a retrospective review of the charts of 55 patients with definite MD in accordance with the AAO-HNS (American Academy of Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery) Diagnostic Scale who were treated at Gruppo Otologico (Piacenza, Rome, Italy). The treatment protocol consisted of 3 intratympanic injections of gentamicin at a 12-hour interval between each administration. Results: Results were resumed in accordance with AAO-HNS criteria and showed complete control of vertigo spells in 60% (class A), good c…
