Background: To describe a case of a patient with PFP after orthognathic surgery and discuss cases reports on temporary or permanent facial paralysis, factors that trigger injury, and treatment for facial paralysis associated with orthognathic surgery.
Material And Methods: This study has two parts: a report of the case of a 20- year-old man who underwent orthognathic surgery for facial paralysis, and an integrative literature review on postoperative facial paralysis following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses statements and performed survival analyses of all cases reported to date.
Results: The analysis was composed of 33 patients; 54,5% were male (mean age, 25 years).
Article Synopsis
- Pediatric patients with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) can experience ongoing inflammation and symptoms even after histologic improvement, indicating deeper molecular issues.
- A study involving 247 esophageal biopsy samples identified persistent molecular changes in EoE, including 17 dysregulated genes and 6 proteins that remained altered even in inactive stages of the disease.
- The findings reveal that while some molecular markers normalize in deep remission, others, particularly periostin (POSTN), continue to be elevated, indicating a need for further understanding of EoE's molecular landscape for better treatment strategies.
Mitochondrial dysfunction is associated with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs). To understand how microbial-metabolic circuits contribute to intestinal injury, we disrupt mitochondrial function in the epithelium by deleting the mitochondrial chaperone, heat shock protein 60 (Hsp60). This metabolic perturbation causes self-resolving tissue injury.

Background: Dysregulation of the MAPK pathway appears to exert a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of ameloblastomas, since BRAF p.V600E has been reported in over 65% of the tumors. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate whether the BRAF p.

Methods: This was a cross-sectional study using the Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders. The sample comprised class II skeletal patients referred to an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery center in the Brazilian Northeast.
