Objectives: Identify specific maxillofacial trauma patterns associated with cervical spine injuries.
Methods: The protocol was developed according to (PRISMA-P) and was admitted to PROSPERO under accreditation code #CRD42020177816. Furthermore, the reporting of the present SR was conducted based on the PRISMA checklist.
Results: Of the 1,407,750 patients recorded, a total of 115,997 patients (12.13%) had MFF with an associated CSI with a gender proportion (M:F) of 3.63:1 respectively. Motor vehicle accident was the most common cause of the combined Maxillofacial Trauma (MFT) and CSI. The most common CSI location was at the C2, followed by the C5 cervical spines. The most common location of a maxillofacial fracture resulting in a CSI was the mandible.
Conclusion: The incidence of the association of CSIs with MFT has been low (12.13%). Nevertheless, in cases of an isolated mandibular trauma due to a severe blow presenting with a low Glasgow Coma Scale, maxillofacial surgeons should be at a high alert of an associated CSI.

Perioperative enriched environment attenuates postoperative cognitive dysfunction by upregulating microglia TREM2 via PI3K/Akt pathway in mouse model of ischemic stroke.

Article Synopsis
- Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) is a common issue that negatively impacts life quality, especially in patients with ischemic stroke.
- The study identifies TREM2 as a crucial factor that helps protect the brain by regulating neuroinflammation through the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.
- Using a mouse model, we found that an enriched environment can improve cognitive function after surgery by boosting TREM2 expression and reducing inflammation, highlighting TREM2's vital role in this process.

Objective: This objective was to assess if the current practice of interfacility transfer and immediate specialty consult is justified by the rate of surgical repair for isolated medial orbital wall fractures.
Study Design: This is a retrospective descriptive study utilizing the records of all patients with isolated medial orbital wall fractures who presented to the ED at Boston Medical Center from January 2014 to December 2022. A descriptive analysis was completed.
Sargassum glaucescens Extract/Marine-Derived Collagen Blend Sponge and Their Properties for Wound Healing.

Burn Research Center, Iran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran.
Burn wounds are challenging to treat due to considerable tissue damage and fluid loss. Creating wound dressings from natural and biological materials makes it possible to treat wounds and promote rapid epithelialization to speed healing and restore skin function. As a result, the ability of a collagen scaffold (Col) made from rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and putative bioactive phytochemical components from a Sargassum glaucescens (S.
