The recent paper by Elledge et al1 provides an overview of the plethora of total temporomandibular joint (TMJ) replacement systems that are currently available on the market. The paper emphasises the importance of design factors, such as sufficient lateral fixation of the ramal component to the mandible, and the correct use of biomaterials. The discussion focuses on potential flaws in the biomaterials of some recent systems and mentions concern regarding the use of a totally ultra-high-molecular-weight...

Good aftercare of traumatic wounds reduces the risk of infection and improves functional and aesthetic outcomes. Inconsistencies in the instructions given by oral and maxillofacial (OMF) surgeons to patients with facial lacerations have previously been noted. We therefore sent anonymous online surveys to OMF clinicians in the United Kingdom to investigate the extent of the variation in aftercare advice given to patients who have had traumatic lacerations of the skin of the head and neck. Respondents...

We would like to congratulate Rajappa et al1 on publishing their work regarding perineural invasion in early oral cancer. We concur with their conclusions that perineural invasion is a risk factor for recurrence of oral cancer. As quoted by the authors themselves, the systematic review by Bur et al also concluded that adjuvant radiation in early oral cavity cancer in the presence of perineural invasion as the only risk factor cannot be recommended in view of considerable limitations in existing publications.

Abstract Background Da Vinci robotic surgery is seen by many hospital administrators and surgeons as slower and more expensive than laparoscopic surgery despite the implementation of commonly held robotic best practices. Multiple factors, including surgeon learning curves and program governance, are often overlooked, precluding optimal robotic program performance. Methods An assessment of several leading robotic surgery publications is presented followed by real‐world case studies from...

Abstract Background and Aim Jaw surgery based on Augmented Reality (AR) still has limitations in terms of navigating narrow areas. Surgeons need to avoid nerves, vessels and teeth in their entirety, not just root canals. Inaccurate positioning of the surgical instrument may lead to positional or navigational errors and can result in cut blood vessels, nerve channels or root canals. This research aims to decrease the positional error during surgery and improve navigational accuracy by reducing...

Stress related to our mental well-being, including that associated with depression, anxiety, and PTSD, is difficult to measure in practice. Levels of cortisol, a steroid hormone, are closely linked to changes in one’s mental state and blood tests are available to measure cortisol. But a blood test can raise a person’s stress level itself and it can’t be done frequently, nor without a medical professional. Now researchers at Caltech are reporting on the first noninvasive, wearable sensor that...

When undergoing MRI scanning, many patients have to have the body parts being imaged strapped into rigid radio-frequency (RF) coils. These can be uncomfortable, as they’re not custom-sized for every patient, and since many MRI exams can take a half hour or more to perform, the scanning process can be difficult for many to undergo. Researchers at Purdue University have now developed RF coils that can be flexed and stretched, and that may one day be used within wearable garments that would be...

Fist Assist Devices, a small Silicon Valley firm, won the European CE Mark for its eponymous wearable device. The Fist Assist works to widen the vein diameter in preparation for fistula placement and to help with fistula vein dilation in patients requiring hemodialysis. It is worn on the arm twice a day starting at about three months prior to fistula creation surgery. Each session lasts about an hour, during which intermittent compression is applied which tends to slowly increase the...

Osteoporosis is a disease characterized by low bone mass and alterations of bone microarchitecture, with an increased risk of fractures. It is a multifactorial disorder that is more frequent in postmenopausal women but can be associated to other diseases (inflammatory and metabolic diseases). At present, several options are available to treat osteoporosis trying to block bone reabsorption and reduce the risk of fracture. Anyway, these drugs have safety and tolerance problems in long-term treatment....

Carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma, an uncommon neoplasm of the parotid gland, accounts for less than 4% of salivary gland tumors. It arises from a benign pleomorphic adenoma presenting in the sixth to eighth decades of life. We present this as a unique account of a primary parotid gland carcinoma, arising from myoepithelial cells, without a known precursor lesion, in a 28-year-old woman. This presentation seeks to provide familiarity of an unusual presentation of an unexpected rare pathology in a...

Headache and Bilateral Optic Disc Edema as the Initial Manifestation of Vogt–Koyanagi–Harada Disease
Abstract: A 31-year-old healthy Asian man presented with new headaches and blurred vision. He was found to have bilateral optic disc edema (ODE) and peripapillary subretinal fluid and was initially investigated for causes of raised intracranial pressure. After referral to neuro-ophthalmology, he received a diagnosis of Vogt–Koyanagi–Harada (VKH) disease and his symptoms, ODE, and vision improved promptly with prednisone treatment. HLA typing was performed and returned positive for the HLA-DRB1*04...

Abstract Despite evidence that breast cancer screening effectively diagnoses and treats cancer through early detection, mammography use remains low in Taiwan. We applied the health belief model (HBM) and the knowledge-attitude-behavior (KAB) model as theoretical frameworks to examine factors associated with mammography uptake among women aged 45–69 years in Taiwan. A cross-sectional survey January–July 2018 was conducted of women aged 45–69 years in five southern Taiwan health...

Abstract Insulin-producing pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PanNETs)/insulinomas are generally considered to be indolent tumors with an excellent prognosis after complete resection. However, some insulinomas have a poor prognosis due to relapses and metastatic disease. Recently, studies in non-functional PanNETs indicated that behavior can be stratified according to alpha- and beta-cell differentiation, as defined by expression of the transcription factors ARX and PDX1, respectively....
