Lingual nerve injury.

Headache

Pain Center, Los Angeles, CA 90048, USA.

Published: October 2003

Lingual nerve injury is a common complication following dental and medical procedures. The clinical presentation of lingual nerve injury, its epidemiology, predisposing factors, and anatomy are explored in an attempt to identify those patients at risk for developing neuropathic pain. Nonsurgical and surgical therapies also are discussed.

Article Synopsis
  • The extraction of a submandibular-displaced mandibular third molar root is challenging for surgeons due to its closeness to important structures like the lingual nerve and sublingual artery.
  • Preoperative imaging helps locate the root, but real-time synchronization is tough because of the mandible's moving nature.
  • This study highlights the successful extraction of a residual root using a magnetic navigation system, resulting in a minimally invasive procedure with no complications or major issues reported postoperatively.

Multilayer network analysis in patients with end-stage kidney disease.

Sci Rep

December 2024

Department of Internal Medicine, Haeundae Paik Hospital, Inje University College of Medicine, Haeundae-ro 875, Haeundae-gu, Busan, 48108, Republic of Korea.

This study aimed to investigate alterations in a multilayer network combining structural and functional layers in patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) compared with healthy controls. In all, 38 ESKD patients and 43 healthy participants were prospectively enrolled. They exhibited normal brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) without any structural lesions.

Objective: To explore alterations in functional connectivity (FC) focusing on hippocampal subfields in benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) patients with residual dizziness (RD) after successful canalith repositioning procedure (CRP).

Methods: We conducted resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) on 95 BPPV patients, comprising 50 patients with RD and 45 without. Seed-to-voxel and seed-to-seed analyses were employed to examine changes in FC between the two groups.

Objectives: Sialendoscopy has become the standard treatment for sialolithiasis; however, larger submandibular calculi may require an incisional technique. This study describes and evaluates an intraoral microscopic-assisted sialolithotomy (IMAS) as a refined submandibular stone extraction technique.

Methods: Retrospective case series of 64 submandibular IMAS procedures operated at a tertiary university center and private hospital from 2015 to 2021 were evaluated.

Whole-brain functional connectivity and structural network properties in stroke patients with hemiplegia.

Neuroscience

January 2025

Department of Neurology, Affiliated ZhongDa Hospital of Southeast University, Medical School of Southeast University, Nanjing, China. Electronic address:

Objective: This study explored structural and functional alterations in the whole brain of stroke patients with hemiplegia.

Methods: We collected multimodal magnetic resonance images of 24 patients with ischaemic stroke and 16 age-matched controls. Resting-state functional connectivity (FC) for all brain regions was evaluated.
