Lack of educational projects in the available literature was an inspiration to develop a psychoeducational program. The objective was to provide patients with basic information on the contribution of stressors in the occurrence of temporomandibular joint dysfunction and educate on methods for coping with stress most commonly used in psychology. In the course of three meetings, patients are fami...

Shoulder pain is the third most common musculoskeletal symptom encountered in medical practice after back and neck pain (1), accounting for almost 3 million patient visits each year in the United States (2). A wide range of potential pathoanatomic entities can give rise to shoulder pain, from simple sprains to massive rotator cuff tears. The majority of these conditions are amenable to conserva...

The temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMD) is a fairly common pathology among dental diseases. In this regard, in addition to the most causes of development pathology, it worth paying attention provoking factors that contribute formation joint.
 review examines current available literary data domestic and foreign authors on etiology TMD.

Functional disorders of the stomatognathic system (temporomandibular joint syndrome – TMJ -syndrome) represent a growing diagnostic and therapeutic problem. One of the coexisting symptoms, especially in advanced stages of temporomandibular joint disorders, is sleep apnoea. The aim of this paper is to present two simple diagnostic methods that can help differentiate the causes of sleep apnoea. T...

The aim of this study was to present a case series of the orthognathic treatment of facial asymmetry due to temporomandibular joint (TMJ) ankylosis and to characterize the current treatment modalities through a literature review. Four patients who presented with facial asymmetry due to TMJ ankylosis between 2010 and 2014 were included in this study. TMJ ankylosis was surgically treated before b...

A consecutive series of 37 individuals admitted to the hospital for elective temporomandibular joint (TMJ) reconstructive surgery and 3 seen as outpatients with TMJ disease were evaluated for rheumatic disease or for another etiologic factor that might account for this problem. These 40 patients were screened by history, physical examination, and laboratory study. We soon noticed that many pati...

Telomeres and telomere repair are basic molecular features of cells possessing linear DNA chromosomes and defects in them result in various diseases. This review examines recent advances in understanding these diseases, particularly at a molecular level, and in relating telomere dysfunction to clinical diseases. We also discuss the potential role of telomere elongation as a therapy in diseases,...

Recently there has been indirect evidence suggesting that age-related elevation in footsole vibration detection may be associated with balance and gait dysfunction. As a first step in investigating this dysfunction, the current study determined by how much plantar vibration sensation decreases as a function of age, and if change is dependent on frequency and location of vibration application. V...

The length of telomeres, and in particular the abundance of short telomeres, has been proposed as a biomarker of aging and of general health status. A wide variety of studies show the association of short telomeres with age related pathologies and cancer, as well as with lifespan and mortality. These facts highlight the importance of measuring telomere length in human populations and by using r...
