AI Article Synopsis
- The median palatine cyst is a rare, noncancerous lesion found along the median palatine suture in the mouth.
- Its formation is debated, but it's mostly thought to occur when epithelial remnants get trapped during the fusion of the hard palate.
- The report aims to highlight a case of this cyst, discussing its rarity, possible origins, and various treatment options available.
Article Abstract
The median palatine cyst is a rare benign nonodontogenic lesion that attacks the median palatine suture. There is controversy about its pathogenesis; however, its origin is generally attributed to the enclavement of epithelial remnants within the palatine suture between the 2 lateral maxillary processes during their fusion in the origin of the hard palate. The purpose of this report was to relate a case of a median palatine cyst, discussing the rarity of the lesion, its pathogenesis, and the different modalities that could be used for the correct treatment of this pathologic entity.

Age-dependent effects of Delaire facemask therapy for class III malocclusion : Impact on maxillary sutures and palatal morphology.
J Orofac Orthop

Department of Orthodontics, Saarland University, 66424, Homburg/Saar, Germany.
Background And Aim: Treatment effects of a combined rapid maxillary expansion (RME) and Delaire facemask (DFM) therapy have so far only been scientifically investigated through cephalometric analyses. The combination of cephalometric, dental cast and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scan analysis was not yet used for investigating morphologic changes of the tooth-bearing palate. The aim of the present study was to determine whether patient age at treatment begin has an influence upon palatal length changes after RME/DFM therapy, and to what extent transverse palatal sutures contribute to these.

Acta Med Acad
December 2024
Department of Anatomy, Medical Faculty, University in Sarajevo, Čekaluša 90, 71 000 Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Objective: The goal of this research was to examine the morphological characteristics and exact anatomical positioning of the greater palatine foramen (GPF), with reference to nearby anatomical landmarks.
Material And Method: The research was performed on dry human skulls belonging to the Bosnian and Herzegovina population, using digital vernier calipers. The study began by noting the GPF's position relative to the maxillary molars, then measuring its distance from the median palatine suture (MPS), the incisive fossa (IF), the posterior border of the hard palate (PBHP), and the posterior nasal spine (PNS).
Intracapsular versus extracapsular tonsil surgery: Comparison of postoperative haemorrhage outcomes in the Australasian setting.
Int J Pediatr Otorhinolaryngol

Department of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, John Hunter Hospital, New Lambton Heights, New South Wales, Australia.
Objective: To investigate the incidence and timing of postoperative haemorrhage between intracapsular (ICT) and extracapsular tonsillectomy (ECT) techniques and evaluate factors influencing haemorrhage risk and severity.
Methods: A retrospective review of patients undergoing tonsillectomy over 5 years across otolaryngology services in Australia and New Zealand. Primary outcomes were rate and timing of post-tonsillectomy haemorrhage.

Article Synopsis
- Cigarette smoking is the most impactful modifiable risk factor for multiple sclerosis (MS) and is linked to increased comorbidities and polypharmacy in patients.
- The study investigated the relationship between the degree of smoking dependence, polypharmacy, and personality traits in MS patients using personality assessments.
- Results indicated that patients with severe smoking dependence exhibited higher neuroticism scores and lower extraversion scores, and those on polypharmacy also demonstrated higher neuroticism compared to those not on multiple medications.
