The Contemporary Management of Temporomandibular Joint Intra-Articular Pain and Dysfunction.

The understanding of the causes of temporomandibular joint pain and dysfunction has evolved over 50 years. Historically, the term internal derangement has been used to describe the abnormal relationship between the articular disc, condyle, and glenoid fossa, which was thought to correlate with patient symptoms. It is now known that the pathophysiology of intra-articular pain and dysfunction (IPD) involves synovitis, capsular impingement, symptomatic disc displacement, or a combination of these.

Auto-Brewery Syndrome and General Anesthesia: A Case Report.

Auto-brewery syndrome (ABS) is a rare condition in which ethanol is endogenously fermented by fungi in the gut following a carbohydrate-rich meal, resulting in intoxication. We present a case of a patient with ABS successfully undergoing general anesthesia for symptomatic wisdom tooth extraction. During previous anesthetics, the patient had experienced postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) and awareness under anesthesia.

Resident selection, assessment, and management: Proceedings of the 2022 ADEA Advanced Dental Education Summit.

The fifth biennial Advanced Dental Education Summit was organized by the ADEA Council on Advanced Education Programs. With a focus on "Resident selection, assessment, and management," the summit aimed to discuss best practices for selecting, assessing, and managing advanced education residents. Expert presentations covered the resident's journey from interview to graduation, emphasizing strategies for supporting resident wellness, success, and evaluation.

Quantum Speed Limit for States with a Bounded Energy Spectrum.

Quantum speed limits set the maximal pace of state evolution. Two well-known limits exist for a unitary time-independent Hamiltonian: the Mandelstam-Tamm and Margolus-Levitin bounds. The former restricts the rate according to the state energy uncertainty, while the latter depends on the mean energy relative to the ground state.
