Article Synopsis
- CrossFit® is a popular training method aimed at improving physical fitness, but there's limited research on bruxism (teeth grinding/clenching) among its practitioners, despite previous suggestions of increased clenching during weightlifting.
- The study examined bruxism signs in 57 CrossFit® practitioners, using various questionnaires and assessments to gather data on oral behaviors and related health metrics.
- Findings showed a high prevalence of teeth clenching (61.4%) and dental issues like tooth wear and lesions, but no clear link was established between bruxism signs and the intensity of physical activity, highlighting the need for dental health education in CrossFit® communities.
Aims: To investigate the associations between signs of painful temporomandibular disorders (TMD) and number of tender points (TPs) and fibromyalgia in adolescents, as well as the relationship between TPs and pressure-pain threshold (PPT) in individuals presenting with local, regional, or widespread pain as a way to investigate the presence of central sensitization (CS).
Methods: The sample consisted of 690 Brazilian adolescents with and without signs of painful TMD, aged 12 to 14 years old. Painful TMD was classified according to the Research Diagnostic Criteria for TMD (RDC/TMD) Axis I.
Unlabelled: Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) are a highly prevalent, painful musculoskeletal condition affecting the masticatory system, and are frequently associated with migraines (M) and other diseases. This study aimed to investigate the association between painful TMD and M with other painful conditions and systemic diseases, such as cervicalgia, body pain (BP), ear-nose-throat disorders, musculoskeletal disorders, diabetes, cardiopulmonary diseases and gastritis/peptic ulcer.
Methods: This was a cross-sectional study conducted in a sample of 352 individuals.
Delayed graft function (DGF) is very high in our center (70%-80%), and we usually receive a kidney for transplant after more than 22 hours of static cold ischemia time (CIT). Also, there is an inadequate care of the donors, contributing to a high rate of DGF. We decided to test whether machine perfusion (MP) after a CIT improved the outcome of our transplant patients.
