AI Article Synopsis
- The study investigated how stimulation of the midbrain central grey (CG) and raphe nuclei (RN) affects jaw opening reflexes in cats, particularly focusing on responses from high-threshold (HJR) and low-threshold (LJR) nerve fibers.
- High-threshold jaw opening reflexes were significantly suppressed after stimulation of CG and RN, while low-threshold reflexes were also inhibited but to a lesser extent, with effectiveness varying by the specific area of stimulation.
- The duration and intensity of the inhibitory effects depended on the stimulation parameters; short bursts of stimulation led to rapid, temporary suppression, while prolonged stimulation could maintain inhibition for up to 60 minutes.
Article Abstract
Effect of stimulation of midbrain central grey (CG) and raphe nuclei (RN) on jaw opening reflexes evoked by excitation of high-threshold (tooth pulp) and low-threshold (A-alpha infraorbital nerve fibres) afferents was studied in cats under chloralose-nembutal anesthesia. High-threshold jaw opening reflex (HJR) was effectively suppressed after conditioning stimulation of CG and RN. Law-threshold jaw opening reflex (LJR) also was suppressed, but less deeply than HJR during stimulation of RN and caudal part of CG, but it was not changed during stimulation of rostral CG. Duration of inhibition of HJR and LJR depended on parameters of CG and RN stimulation. Short trains (10-20) of stimuli (200-400/s) evoked the inhibition with latency 20-25 ms. Depression of HJR in the 40-150 ms range reched 100%, depression of LJR-30-50%. Depression of HJR lasted for 1000 ms, that of LJR-500 ms. Prolonged rhythmic stimulation of CG and RN (50/s during 30 s) evoked inhibition of HJR and LJR that lasted up to 60 min. It is concluded that impulses from CG and RN selectively inhibit HJR, but are less effective for LJR. Depth and duration of inhibition depend essentially on parameters of CG and RN stimulation.

Patients: Three residents of a long-term care home volunteered to participate in a rehabilitation program involving a virtual reality blowgun game. The participants played the game 5 days a week as a new exercise routine. After 4 weeks of intervention, tongue pressure and forced expiratory volume in 1 s improved in all participants.

Background And Aim: Myofascial pain dysfunction syndrome (MPDS) is one of the most important facial muscle disorders comprising signs and symptoms including pain during function, tenderness in the muscles of mastication and restricted jaw movement. The purpose of this study was to assess and compare the effectiveness of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) and combination therapy of LLLT and pharmacotherapy in the treatment of myofascial pain with or without other TMD (temporomandibular disorders).
Materials And Methods: Forty patients with MPDS were randomly divided into two groups.

Introduction: Intravenous drug use has a significant impact on oral and maxillofacial health, often resulting in complications like tooth loss and osteomyelitis. This study investigates the differences in oral health between drug users enrolled in replacement therapy and those not yet participating, with the goal of assessing the impact of structured treatment programs.
Aim: to evaluate and compare the prevalence of oral and maxillofacial complications among drug users involved in replacement therapy and those newly registering for treatment.
