PURPOSE the aim of this study was to evaluate the use of physical therapy and anesthetic blockage of the auriculotemporal nerve as a treatment for temporomandibular joint disorders. METHODS the sample comprised of twenty patients with a diagnosis of disc displacement with/ without reduction and arthralgia according to the Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (RDC/TMD A...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Although visualization of the extracranial branches of the cranial nerves has improved with advances in MR imaging, only limited studies have assessed the detection of extracranial branches of the mandibular nerve (V3). We investigated the detectability of the branches of V3 on a 3D double-echo steady-state with water excitation sequence. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retros...

First of all I have to thank Prof. Dr. Erwin Frey arousing my interest in biological physics and giving me the opportunity to write my diploma thesis in his groups at the Hahn-Meitner-Institut Berlin. Also for very interesting discussions—and some nice chats in between—and the huge amount of help by writing this thesis. A big thanks to the small Italian.. . please, don't kick me.. . That is, a ...

The studies on the auriculotemporal nerve in humans are limited. However, we considered crucial to investigate topographic relation between and TMJ region that can explain some of symptoms TMDs. results derived from our experience anatomic dissection 16 adult cadaveric heads were compared with what literature describes 1971 2023. confirm existence a particular position ATN within infratemporal ...

Facial sweating after food (gustatory sweating) is a recognized complication of long-standing insulindependent diabetes mellitus (Watkins, 1973). It is usually provoked by cheese, salty or spicy foods and accompanies other features of autonomic and peripheral neuropathy. The patient herewith reported is unusual in that he developed gustatory sweating as a major, but relatively isolated complica...

No new genes? At the University of Toronto, Brendan Frey is leading a group of scientists who are using AI techniques to analyze molecularbiology data. One of their projects involves using a factor graph they developed called GenRate to discover and evaluate genes in mouse tissues. Factor graphs let researchers describe a system with complex variables, such as gene location in DNA as well as ge...

Two new species of Miridae, Myrmecophyes bykovi sp. nov. and Scirtetellus medvedevae sp. nov., are described from Xinjiang province of China. Illustrations of the male genitalia, tarsus, and pretarsus; photographs of the dorsal habitus; known hosts; and distributional records are provided for each species. Two new synonymies are established, viz. Chlainydatus laminatus Li & Liu, 2006 = Chlamyda...
