Purpose: To investigate the prevalence characteristics of temporomandibular joint disc displacement in patients with malocclusion and influencing factors of disc displacement, and to provide reference for orthodontic treatment.
Methods: A total of 1 157 consecutive orthodontic cases admitted to the Department of Orthodontics at Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from January 2012 to December 2021 were selected retrospectively. Based on temporomandibular joint MRI, the prevalence of disc displacement in orthodontic cases was investigated. The influencical factors of gender, age and skeletal classification on disc displacement was analyzed. SPSS 25.0 software package was used for data analysis.
Results: Among 1 157 orthodontic cases, there were 672 cases(58.08%) of disc displacement, and 334 cases(28.87%) had anterior disc displacement. The prevalence of disc displacement in female was significantly higher than that in male. The prevalence of disc displacement in skeletal Class Ⅱ malocclusion was significantly higher than that in skeletal Class Ⅲ malocclusion. In orthodontic cases aged between 10 and 18, the prevalence of disc displacement increased with age.
Conclusions: There is a high proportion of abnormal articular disc position in patients with malocclusion. Age, gender(female) and skeletal Class Ⅱ malocclusion have higher correlation with temporomandibular joint disc displacement.

Purpose: Despite numerous studies, the factors contributing to clinical success after a lumbar transforaminal epidural steroid injection (LTFESI) for radicular pain remain unclear. The aim of this study was to systematically review literature evaluating preprocedural predictive factors for improved outcomes in patients receiving a LTFESI.
Methods: We searched databases including PubMed/MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, and Scopus for studies published from 2006 through 2023.

Background: This study aims to compare the outcomes of two-level anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) procedures using stand-alone cages versus cage and plate fixation in patients diagnosed with cervical disc herniation (CDH).
Materials And Methods: This retrospective analysis included 60 patients who underwent two-level ACDF procedures. Patients were divided into two groups: one treated with stand-alone cages and the other with cage and plate fixation.

Background: The Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (DC/TMD) is a biaxial instrument used worldwide for TMD assessment.
Objective: To translate, cross-culturally adapt, and assess the criterion validity and reliability of the Brazilian Portuguese version of the DC/TMD Axis I.
Methods: The translation and cross-cultural adaptation of Axis I into Brazilian Portuguese followed the recommendations of the International Network for Orofacial Pain and Related Disorders Methodology.

Background: Temporomandibular joint intra-articular pain and dysfunction (IPD) can arise from abnormal disc position. Arthroscopic double-suture discopexy (A-DSD) aims to restore disc position, but the association between disc position and patient-reported pain and quality-of-life (QoL) is unclear.
Purpose: This study investigated the relationship between postoperative disc position and subject QoL and pain following A-DSD.

Background: Intervertebral disc disease (IVDD) is a major welfare issue in chondrodystrophic dogs. It is a consequence of chondroid metaplasia of the nucleus pulposus, leading to premature degeneration and calcification of the intervertebral discs (IVDs). Radiographic grading based on the number of calcified discs visible on radiograph (CDVR) between the ages of 24-48 months is an established method for selective breeding against IVDD in dogs.
