Objective: To observe the clinical outcomes of a combined unilateral intraoral and extraoral reduction approach in the treatment of anterior temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dislocation.
Methods: Postural muscular chains were utilized in the biomechanical analysis of stomatognathic systems for improving TMJ repositioning approaches. A total of 87 patients with anterior TMJ dislocation were included in the present study. A combined unilateral intraoral and extraoral reduction approach was applied, and the clinical effects were evaluated.
Results: Biomechanical analysis reveal that reflexive contrac-tion of the maxillary muscle group was blocked sufficiently during the combined unilateral intraoral and extraoral reduction process. All dislocated TMJs were set successfully and efficiently with few complications.
Conclusions: Combined unilateral intraoral and extraoral reduction approach is an effective, convenient, and minimally invasive way to treat anterior TMJ dislo-cations.

Craniosynostosis limits normal cranial growth, significantly affecting the growth and development of children. This increase in intracranial pressure results in significant cosmetic and functional losses. This study investigated the efficacy of combining molding helmets with suturectomy for craniosynostosis.

Background: The fundamental pathophysiologic understanding of different seizure types in Temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) remains unclear. This study aimed to assess the distinct alterations of structural network in TLE patients with different seizure types and their relationships with cognitive and psychiatric symptoms.
Methods: Seventy-three patients with unilateral TLE, including 25 with uncontrolled focal to bilateral tonic-clonic seizures (FBTCS), 25 with controlled FBTCS and 23 with focal impaired awareness seizures (FIAS), as well as 26 healthy controls (HC), underwent the diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) scan.

This study aimed to investigate the incidence of subclinical mastitis (SCM), the implicated pathogens, and their impact on milk quality in dairy sheep in Greece. Furthermore, we preliminarily evaluated infrared thermography and the application of AI tools for the early, non-invasive diagnosis of relevant cases. In total, 660 milk samples and over 2000 infrared thermography images were obtained from 330 phenotypically healthy ewes.

Cherubism is a rare fibro-osseous disease characterized by the progressive expansion of the mandible and maxilla during childhood. Orbital involvement occurs in a subset of patients and is clinically manifested as upward displacement of the affected eye. The bony changes tend to spontaneously diminish or even regress after puberty.
