We aimed to characterise the association of pulmonary hypertension due hypoventilation and exercise capacity, haemodynamic functional changes under noninvasive ventilation. A retrospective analysis was carried out assess haemodynamics capacity in 18 patients with daytime hypertension, hypoventilation, at baseline after 3 months Patients presented a mean±SD artery pressure 49±13 mmHg, preserved cardiac index (3.2±0.66 L·min(-1)·m(-2)), 6-min walking distance 303±134 m severely elevated...
Temporomandibular dysfunction (TMD) is considered to be associated with imbalance of the whole body. This study aimed evaluate influence TMD therapy on cervical spine range movement (ROM) and reduction spinal pain. The group consisted 60 patients TMD, pain, limited movements. Subjects were interviewed by a questionnaire about symptoms neck pain had also masticatory motor system physically examined (according RDC-TMD) analysed JMA ultrasound device. motion was using an MCS randomly admitted...
(1) Background: The healing properties of cannabidiol (CBD) have been known for centuries. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the efficiency myorelaxant effect CBD after transdermal application in patients with myofascial pain. (2) Methods: Polish version Research Diagnostic Criteria Temporomandibular Disorders (RDC/TMD Ia and Ib) was used. A total 60 were enrolled study randomly divided into two groups: Group1 Group2. average age 23.2 years (SD) = 1.6 years) Group2, it 22.6 (SD 1.86). This...
Background: Temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) are the most prevalent non-dental pain issues in maxillofacial region. Despite advancements, diagnosing and managing TMDs continues to pose challenges. This study aimed assess efficacy of cannabidiol (CBD) formulations, with different concentrations, patients experiencing sleep bruxism muscle-related TMDs, a particular emphasis on their myorelaxant, pain-relieving, bruxism-reducing properties. Methods: The Research Diagnostic Criteria for...
Maintenance of proper oral hygiene by dental plaque elimination is one the most important factors affecting healing process in postoperative wounds. Propolis a substance produced bees. Ethanolic extract propolis has bactericidal, fungicidal, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidative properties. Moreover, it can scavenge free radicals. The purpose this paper to demonstrate efficacy gel containing 3% ethanolic Brazilian green (EEP-B) when used for maintaining patients with mucosal was assessed...
The aim of the study was evaluation myorelaxant action bee venom (BV) ointment compared to placebo. Parallel group, randomized double blinded trial performed. Experimental group patients were applying BV for 14 days, locally over masseter muscles, during 3-minute massage. Placebo used vaseline Muscle tension measured twice (TON1 and TON2) in rest muscle tonus (RMT) maximal contraction (MMC) on both sides, right left, with Easy Train Myo EMG (Schwa-medico, Version 3.1). Reduction...
Masticatory muscle injections of liquid collagen solution is an alternative therapy for myofascial pain, often the first aid in pain ailments. Muscles mastication: masseter muscle, temporal and lateral pterygoid are painful temporomandibular disorders (TMD) patients, especially bruxers. As effect effort a PEMS (post soreness) develops if left untreated chronic may develop, with severe consequences joint (TMJ) whole stomatognathic system. <br/>Injection is, together counseling...
Relevance: There are no reports in the literature on relationship between dimension of mandibular angle and freeway space. Knowledge such a would facilitate design process relaxation splints, which should fit within its limits. The aim study: to examine size space measured premolars at different values mandible. Methods: Cephalometric images were utilized explore mandible was images. Freeway determined using an electronic caliper occlusal separators posterior segment. results underwent...
Background and objectives: The objective of this study was to explore the nociceptive effect platelet-rich plasma (PRP) intramuscular injections in myofascial pain masseter muscles. Methods: Patients diagnosed with were assessed for eligibility study. Masticatory muscle disorder based on Research Diagnostic Criteria Temporomandibular Disorders (Ia Ib). A total 80 patients masticatory muscles enrolled study; 58 them (21 male 37 female, 29.4 ± 6.53 years old) met inclusion criteria randomly...
Introduction: Occlusal splint therapy is a well-known method for the treatment of TMD. Muscle stretching and pain relief are effects occlusal appliance. The aim this study was to evaluate plasma level CGRP in patients with myofascial (RDC/TMD Ia) limited opening Ib) before after muscle therapy. Material methods: A randomised trial performed including 35 subjects (males = 10, females 25) experimental group 30 9, 21) control group. Blood samples were taken from external jugular vein days...
Orthodontic appliances modify the local environment of oral cavity, increase accumulation dental plaque, and affect condition gingiva. The aim this study is assessment Brazilian propolis toothpaste’s effect on plaque index (PLI) gingival (GI) in patients with CL/CLP treated using orthodontic 35‐day period. population included 96 an Outpatient Clinic, ACSiMS Bytom. All participated active phase treatment buccal multibracket or removable appliances. During first examination, each patient was...
This study was carried out to investigate the influence of a propolis and tee tree oil-containing hygienic agent on selected oral health parameters, microflora, condition periodontal health. Thirty-seven patients who underwent rehabilitation with removable acrylic denture were randomly assigned into two groups: group (A) which received newly formulated toothpaste or control (C) without an active ingredient. API, S-OHI, mSBI assessed in three subsequent stages. During each examination swabs...
Modern dentistry commonly uses a variety of imaging methods to support diagnosis and treatment. Among them, cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is particularly useful in presenting head structures, such as the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). The determination morphology an important part well monitoring treatment results. It can be accomplished by measurement TMJ gap width at three selected places, taken specific cross-section. This study presents new approach these measurements. First, CBCT...
The study compares subjective experiences of patients, wearing complete dentures. Two different methods determining a centric relation were performed: the traditional method using wax occlusal rims and Gerber method, based on gothic arch tracings. success rate establishing in both was evaluated (rentgenodiagnostics). influence used to obtain patients’ stomatognathic system (condyle centralization, pain) also evaluated. Better results achieved tracing method. Before every prosthetic treatment...
Hydroxyapatite-treated clarified mixed saliva showed a marked reduction in growth-supportive activity for Streptococcus mutans. Isoelectrophoretic analysis revealed that proteins specifically attacked by S. mutans were among those adsorbed HA. The desorbed from HA-supported growth of at levels comparable to untreated saliva.
Spondylodiscitis caused by Campylobacter species is a rare disease which most often fetus. We report case of culture-negative spondylodiscitis and psoas abscess due to jejuni in 68-year-old woman, as revealed 16S rRNA gene Campylobacter-specific PCRs from biopsied tissue.
