Unlabelled: Mouth breathing can cause structural and functional alterations to the stomatognathic system.
Aim: The aim of this investigation was to study breathing, chewing, swallowing and speaking alterations present in patients with allergic rhinitis and associate it to rhinitis symptom intensity.
Materials And Methods: 170 patients between the ages of 6 and 55 years were prospectively evaluated in this study, all of them underwent both otorhinolaryngological and speech evaluation. Data on breathing, chewing, swallowing and speaking was gathered, as well as data from the medical evaluation. The data was compared and statistically analyzed.
Results: The difference in signs and symptoms' score between GR and GC was significant. We noticed a significant difference between GR and GC in breathing, chewing and swallowing. We observed a significant association between the score of nasal obstruction and the intensity of breathing and chewing alterations.
Conclusion: Patients with allergic rhinitis have functional alterations in their stomatognathic system and an increase in nasal obstruction scores can be considered as a indication of such alterations.

Erlotinib, an epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI), is currently used in the therapy of several solid malignancies. This agent has been associated with several dermatological side-effects, the most common being papulo-pustular acneiform rash. Herein we describe a unique skin effect in a patient treated with erlotinib for non-small cell lung cancer.

Misophonia is characterized by strong negative reactions to everyday sounds, such as chewing, slurping or breathing, that can have negative consequences for daily life. Here, we investigated the role of visual stimuli in modulating misophonic reactions. We recruited 26 misophonics and 31 healthy controls and presented them with 26 sound-swapped videos: 13 trigger sounds paired with the 13 Original Video Sources (OVS) and with 13 Positive Attributable Visual Sources (PAVS).

Teeth malocclusion refers to the misalignment of teeth and improper occlusion of the upper and lower jaws when the mouth is closed, which can lead to both aesthetic and functional issues such as difficulties with chewing, biting, and speech. These challenges may further contribute to broader health concerns. One of the major contributing factors to malocclusion in children is the presence of certain oral habits.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how oropharyngeal structures like the soft palate, tongue base, and epiglottis change position and coordination during normal functions like breathing and chewing.
- Using X-ray fluoroscopy with Yucatan minipigs, researchers digitized and analyzed movements to understand the dynamics of these structures.
- Findings revealed significant differences in movement magnitudes during respiration and chewing, suggesting that each structure has a unique role which may help in understanding disorders like dysphagia and sleep apnea.
