AI Article Synopsis

  • The study aimed to compare different genioplasty techniques (chin advancement, rotation and advancement, setback, and reduction) regarding postoperative neurosensory deficits and hematoma formation.
  • Conducted at the Armed Forces Institute of Dentistry in Pakistan, the study included patients aged 16-60 who underwent various genioplasty procedures between January 2022 and April 2023.
  • Results showed that advancement with rotation genioplasty had the highest rates of neurosensory deficits (about 50%) and hematoma formation (62.5%), while reduction genioplasty had the lowest rates of neurosensory deficits (<1%) and setback genioplasty had the least hematoma formation (25%).

Article Abstract

Objective: To compare different types of genioplasty techniques (chin advancement, rotation and advancement, setback, and reduction) in terms of neurosensory deficit and haematoma formation.

Study Design: Comparative analytical study. Place and Duration of the Study: Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Armed Forces Institute of Dentistry, Rawalpindi, Pakistan, from January 2022 to April 2023.

Methodology: Patients requiring genioplasty and fulfilling the inclusion criteria i.e. both genders aged 16-60 years were included and divided into 4 groups according to the type of genioplasty performed. Genioplasty was planned as per the ortho treatment plan and performed under general anaesthesia. Setback genioplasty was performed on 8 patients, advancement genioplasty on 11 patients, reduction genioplasty on 3, and advancement with rotation genioplasty on 16 patients. Postoperatively neurosensory deficit was recorded on follow-up after 1 month by subjective and objective assessments, and haematoma formation was assessed clinically on the 7th day after the procedure.

Results: Advancement with rotation genioplasty showed the highest frequency of neurosensory deficit (almost 50%) and reduction type genioplasty showed the least frequency of neurosensory deficit (<1%, p = 0.49). The frequency of haematoma formation was maximum in the advancement with rotation genioplasty (62.5%) and minimum in equal setback genioplasty (25%, p = 0.61).

Conclusion: Advancement with rotation genioplasty had the highest rate of postoperative neurosensory deficit and haematoma formation when compared with other techniques of genioplasty.

Key Words: Genioplasty, Neurosensory deficit, Haematoma, Advancement with rotation genioplasty, Setback genioplasty.

Background: Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) is the most common sensory deficit worldwide. Current solutions for SNHL, including hearing aids, cochlear implants, and hearing assistive devices, do not provide consistent results and fail to address the underlying pathology of hair cell and ganglion cell damage. Stem cell therapy is a cornerstone in regenerative medicine.

Background: Advances in neonatal care have increased survival rates for premature or low birth weight (LBW) infants but raised concerns about long-term neurosensory and psychomotor challenges. : to investigate perinatal factors linked to visual and auditory problems in ex-preterm or LBW young adults, assessing their long-term quality of life.

Methods: Participants from a 20-year-old randomised controlled trial comparing Kangaroo-Mother Care (KMC) to conventional care were re-enrolled.

Purpose: Acute idiopathic maculopathy (AIM) is a posterior segment disorder that involves the neurosensory retina, retinal pigment epithelium, and choroidal circulation. When first described, the disease was classified as unilateral, but subsequent reports have found bilateral presentations. There is growing evidence to suggest the coxsackie virus as the etiology, however, other pro-inflammatory conditions have also been temporally linked to fundoscopic findings.

Article Synopsis
  • Alström disease is a rare genetic disorder linked to mutations in the ALMS1 gene, causing diverse issues across multiple organ systems, including heart and sensory problems, but with significant variability between patients.
  • The case study focuses on a 4-month-old girl who showed symptoms like dilated cardiomyopathy and neurosensory deficits, prompting genetic testing that confirmed Alström syndrome.
  • The findings highlight the challenges in linking specific genetic mutations to clinical symptoms, underscoring the need for more research on phenotype-genotype relationships in Alström disease.
