Department of Neurology, Mayo Clinic, Phoenix, Arizona, USA.
Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is an inflammatory vasculitis affecting large and medium-sized arteries, leading to complications such as arterial dissection, blindness, and stroke. Rarely, GCA presents with Horner's syndrome due to sympathetic neuron involvement from arterial inflammation. This case report discusses an 82-year-old female with hypertension, atrial fibrillation, and arthritis who presented with a 24 h history of right eye ptosis, blurred vision, dizziness, and aching eye pain.

Temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) encompass various clinical conditions associated with the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and the masticatory muscles. TMD symptoms include pain in the orofacial region, restricted or altered mandibular movement, and sounds associated with the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). This condition adversely affects quality of life, social functioning, and daily activities, and may also contribute to widespread pain syndromes and comorbidities, including irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

It allows patients to rank difficulty performing 17 jaw-related functions as low, moderate or severe. Our study was designed to determine whether the MFIQ is also helpful in differentiating TMD from other causes of orofacial pain in a clinical setting.

Article Synopsis
- * Patients with this pain condition show central sensitisation, leading to abnormal sensitivity to pain even without visible inflammation.
- * The review discusses how changes in neuronal ion channels, such as TRPV1 and NMDA receptors, are linked to the altered nociception in myofascial orofacial pain, reinforcing the idea of nociplastic mechanisms at play.
Article Synopsis
- This review examines the causes of headaches in patients with acromegaly and how various treatments for the condition affect headache symptoms.
- Headaches occur in 30-70% of acromegaly patients due to factors such as the tumor itself, hormonal changes, and other underlying issues, necessitating careful diagnosis and management.
- Despite treatments like surgery and medication normalizing hormone levels, headaches may still persist, highlighting the need for specialized headache management for these patients.

Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to classify severe forms of craniofacial microsomia (CFM) by using 3D maxillofacial measurements to examine deformities in the zygomatic, temporal, and mandibular bones, as previous classifications lacked detailed information on temporomandibular joint deformities.
- - Researchers analyzed CT scans from 50 children with severe CFM, performing 3D measurements and using cluster analysis to categorize patients based on the continuity of the zygomatic arches and several other measurements.
- - Findings revealed two distinct clusters: one with continuous zygomatic arches and another with discontinuous arches, highlighting significant differences in specific measurements that may help in better treatment planning for patients needing prosthetic joints.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the quality of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that analyze injectable treatments for painful temporomandibular joint disorders after arthrocentesis, focusing on how well these interventions are described.
- A total of 9,793 articles were screened, with 19 RCTs ultimately included in the analysis, revealing that important details about the interventions—such as modifications and who performed them—were often lacking.
- The research found no correlation between the quality of intervention descriptions (TIDieR) and the overall methodological quality (PEDro) of the RCTs, suggesting that even well-conducted trials may not thoroughly report all necessary details for reproducibility.

Article Synopsis
- Vertigo and dizziness can be caused by both peripheral issues (like Ménière's disease) and central problems, requiring careful diagnosis to differentiate between them.
- Peripheral vestibular disorders are often diagnosed through clinical exams, while imaging is used to rule out other potential causes, such as temporal bone trauma or temporomandibular disorders.
- Advanced imaging techniques, like CT and MRI, are essential for accurate diagnosis, and management strategies typically involve a mix of surgical and medical treatments based on the specific condition.
Article Synopsis
- Individuals with hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (hEDS) or hypermobility spectrum disorders (HSD) have a higher likelihood of experiencing temporomandibular disorders (TMDs), which may impact their oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL).
- A study involving 133 women with confirmed hEDS or HSD assessed their OHRQoL using the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14) and examined factors such as TMD symptoms, general health, and psychological aspects.
- Findings revealed that a significant majority reported TMD symptoms, with orofacial pain greatly affecting OHRQoL, and self-reported bruxism and poor general health were linked to worse outcomes

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to determine if adding dynamic cervical electrical stimulation (ES) to manual therapy (MT) improves outcomes for individuals with myofascial temporomandibular pain compared to MT alone.
- A total of 46 participants were divided into two groups: one receiving MT alone and the other receiving ES plus MT over a 2-week period, with various pain and mobility measures taken beforehand and after treatment.
- Results showed that the group receiving both ES and MT experienced significantly greater improvements in pain intensity, pressure pain thresholds, mouth opening, and cervical range of motion, indicating that combining these therapies is more effective than MT alone.

Article Synopsis
- - The study compared the effects of two types of mandibular advancement devices (monoblock and twinblock) on patients with obstructive sleep apnea and temporomandibular disorders over 3 months, including a 2-week washout.
- - Results showed that the monoblock device significantly increased upper airway volume compared to the twinblock, while both devices improved sleep-related parameters and reduced TMD symptoms.
- - The findings suggest that monoblock devices may be more effective in enhancing airway dimensions and alleviating TMD issues, highlighting their clinical relevance for treating patients with mild to moderate conditions.

Article Synopsis
- - Combined Kelly syndrome, or anterior hyperfunction syndrome, is a complex condition mainly triggered by tooth loss, particularly the absence of upper and posterior mandibular teeth, leading to various symptoms like bone loss and joint issues.
- - The features of this syndrome are signs of "oral hyperfunction" and there's no clear agreement on how to diagnose it, suggesting a need for a better understanding beyond its classification as a syndrome.
- - This study aims to review existing literature to propose a model for identifying risk factors that can help in early diagnosis and prevention, ultimately enhancing patient care and oral health.
