Article Synopsis
- OSAS (Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome) and TMDs (Temporomandibular Disorders) are complex conditions influenced by various functional, structural, and psycho-social factors, gaining more attention in research and clinical practice.
- Recognizing the multifaceted nature of these disorders is essential, as different anatomical and phenotypic presentations may lead to inconsistent findings in the literature.
- Co-existing OSAS and TMD cases pose additional challenges for healthcare providers, emphasizing the need for collaborative research efforts to better understand and address these complex issues.
Article Synopsis
- This systematic review and meta-analysis examined how PD-L1 expression affects treatment outcomes for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), focusing on overall and progression-free survival.
- A search through reputable databases from 2010 to 2022 identified 120 studies, but only 7 met the criteria, involving 4,477 participants treated with PD-1 or PD-L1 inhibitors.
- Results indicated that positive PD-L1 expression correlates with improved overall survival but does not significantly influence progression-free survival, highlighting a potential predictive role for PD-L1 in HNSCC immunotherapy while suggesting the need for more research on its effects.
Objective: The causative and prognostic roles of human papillomavirus (HPV) in non-oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck are uncertain. This umbrella review assessed the strength and quality of evidence and graded the evidence derived from published meta-analyses on this subject.
Data Sources: MEDLINE, Embase, and the Cochrane Library were searched.
The relationship between obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) and temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) is complex. Research has shown controversial evidence. The recent study by Bartolucci et al.
