Masseter muscle thickness before and after the correction of unilateral functional posterior crossbite in growing individuals: a prospective controlled clinical trial.
Eur J Orthod
December 2024
Division of Orthodontics, University Clinics of Dental Medicine, University of Geneva, 1 rue Michel-Servet, 1205 Geneva, Switzerland.
Objectives: To evaluate whether unilateral functional posterior crossbite in growing children creates an asymmetry in masseter muscle thickness and whether this asymmetry is normalized after crossbite correction.
Materials And Methods: Two groups of growing individuals were studied prospectively: (i) a treatment group: children with unilateral functional posterior crossbite, undergoing crossbite correction with maxillary expansion; and (ii) a control group: children without transversal malocclusions and orthodontic treatment. The thickness of the masseter muscles was measured bilaterally using ultrasonographic recordings at three time points: pre-treatment (T0); 9 months after (T1); and 30 months after posterior crossbite correction (T2); and at equivalent time points in the control group.
Dacryoscintillography in Patients With Symptomatic, but Patent, Lacrimal Drainage Systems.
Ophthalmic Plast Reconstr Surg
December 2024
Adnexal Service, Moorfields Eye Hospital, London, United Kingdom.
Purpose: To relate dacryoscintillographic features to presenting symptoms and signs for watery-eyed patients with patent drainage systems.
Methods: Retrospective case note and imaging review for patients with watering eye(s) and clinical evidence of impaired tear drainage who underwent dacryoscintillography (DSG). Three DSG features were graded, along with 4 symptoms, 7 signs, and the degree of fluid reflux and nasal fluid passage on gentle syringing.
Clinical and neuroimaging characteristics of diabetic striatopathy: a case series report.
Front Endocrinol (Lausanne)
December 2024
Department of Neurology, First Medical Center of Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) General Hospital, Beijing, China.
Background: Diabetic striatopathy (DS) is a rare disorder characterized by clinical manifestations of hemichorea, non-ketotic hyperglycemia, and high signal on T1-weighted MRI or high density on CT scan in basal ganglia, typically associated with poor glycemic control.
Objective: This study aimed to analyze clinical characteristics of patients with diabetic striatopathy to raise awareness amongst physicians, especially endocrinologists, about this rare neurological manifestation in patients with diabetes.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the data on clinical presentations, laboratory workups, and cranial CT and MRI of six patients with DS who were admitted to our hospital from October 2013 to June 2022.
Clinical Characteristics of Patients With Symptomatic Nasolacrimal Duct Stenosis.
Ophthalmic Plast Reconstr Surg
December 2024
Adnexal Service, Moorfields Eye Hospital, London, United Kingdom.
Purpose: To characterize symptoms and signs for patients with tearing eye(s) and ipsilateral nasolacrimal duct stenosis (NLDS), as defined by delayed fluorescein disappearance test and ocular reflux of saline during gentle irrigation of a patent drainage system.
Methods: Retrospective case-note review of a consistent grading of 4 symptoms and 7 signs, together with estimates of the degree of fluid reflux and nasal fluid passage on gentle saline syringing. Characteristics, including gender differences, were compared for unilateral or bilateral symptoms.
A Case of Cavernous Sinus Fistula Caused by Ruptured Spontaneous Aneurysm on Persistent Primitive Trigeminal Artery.
NMC Case Rep J
November 2024
Department of Neurosurgery, St. Marianna University Hospital, Kawasaki, Kanagawa, Japan.
The most frequent of the embryonic persistent arteries that connect the internal carotid artery to the posterior circulation is the persistent primitive trigeminal artery (PPTA), which is recognized on 0.1%-0.6% on the basis of conventional angiography or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
