The facial nerve is the seventh cranial nerve, or simply CN VII. It emerges from the pons of the brainstem, controls the muscles of facial expression, and functions in the conveyance of taste sensations from the anterior two-thirds of the tongue.
The facial nerve is the seventh (VII) of twelve paired cranial nerves.
It emerges from the brainstem between the Pons and the Medulla.
Facial nerve is a mixed nerve, having 2 roots:
1. Medial motor root.
2. Lateral sensory root (nervous intermedius),which contains sensory & parasympathetic fibers.

Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex System Analysis, S...Oleg Kshivets
RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.
Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

Acute scrotum is a general term referring to an emergency condition affecting the contents or the wall of the scrotum.
There are a number of conditions that present acutely, predominantly with pain and/or swelling
A careful and detailed history and examination, and in some cases, investigations allow differentiation between these diagnoses. A prompt diagnosis is essential as the patient may require urgent surgical intervention
Testicular torsion refers to twisting of the spermatic cord, causing ischaemia of the testicle.
Testicular torsion results from inadequate fixation of the testis to the tunica vaginalis producing ischemia from reduced arterial inflow and venous outflow obstruction.
The prevalence of testicular torsion in adult patients hospitalized with acute scrotal pain is approximately 25 to 50 percent

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

3. Introduction-Mimetic Muscles
• The facial muscles are a group of striated skeletal muscles innervated by
the facial nerve (cranial nerve VII) which control facial expression. These
muscles are also called mimetic muscles.
• Facial Expressions- movements of mimetic musculature of the face
3
4. • The facial musculature is fairly unique. They include the only somatic
muscles in the body attached on one side to bone and the other to skin;
thus facial movements are specialized for expression.
• The face is also one of the few places in the body where some muscles
are not attached to any bone at all (e.g., orbicularis oculi, the muscle
surrounding the eyes; orbicularis oris, the muscle in the lips).
• They also act as sphincters and dilators of the orifices of the face
• Facial muscles develop from second pharyngeal arch.

18. Facial N. (VII)
• LMNs in facial nucleus is in inferior pons
• It emerges from the brainstem between the pons and the medulla, and
controls the muscles of facial expression
• The facial nerve is developmentally derived from the hyoid arch (second
pharyngeal branchial arch). The motor division of the facial nerve is
derived from the basal plate of the embryonic pons, while the sensory
division originates from the cranial neural crest.
Course:
• Fibres course around abducens nucleus - internal genu Exits
brainstem at cerebellopontine angle with CN VIII Through the
petrous part of the temporal bone Through internal acoustic meatus
with CN VIII Into facial canal, along walls of the tympanic cavity
(external genu of facial nerve, geniculate ganglion)
18
19. Exits skull via stylomastoid foramen, most branches go through parotid
gland
• Temporal
• Zygomatic
• Buccal
• Marginal mandibular
• Cervical
• Posterior auricular
• The oculomotor nerve [III], which innervates the levator palpebrae
superioris; sympathetic fibers, which innervate the superior tarsal
muscle.
19
23. Bell’s Palsy
• Charles Bell in 1821 first described Bell’s Palsy.
• It is Common, acute, benign neurological disorder, characterized by
sudden, isolated peripheral facial nerve paralysis
• Bell’s Palsy- Lower Motor Neuron Disorder.
• Various and unknown etiology
• However infectious, genetic, metabolic, autoimmune, vascular condition,
and nerve entrapment, viral etiology
23
24. Clinical Features:
• Can be complete/ partial- only lower part of face is involved
• Lack of facial expressions on one side
• Patient is also unable to whistle, smile or grimace
• Increased lacrimation, hypersensitivity to sound (hyperacusis), loss of
taste / metallic taste(chordatympani) and pain near mastoid area (70%
of patients)
• Sudden facial weakness, difficulty with articulation, inability to keep an
eye closed.
24
25. • Clinical Evaluation:
– Exclude etiologies like trauma, otologic disease, and intracranial
– History- onset, course, duration
– Facial creases, nasolabial fold- dissapear
– Forehead unfurrows and corner of mouth droops
– Eyelids will not close, and lower lid sag
- Tear production decreases, but
appears to tear excessively as loss
of eye lid control
- Postive Hitselberger sign-
decreased sensation along the
external acoustic meatus.
25
26. Diagnostic evaluation
• Determine whether it is central or peripheral
– Peripheral facial palsy involves all the facial muscles ipsilateral to the
side of facial nerve involvement
– Central involves facial muscles contralateral to the lesion in the brain
stem above pons and cerebral hemisphere.
• Familial history
• Sudden onset or gradual
26
27. • Physical examination to rule of Ramsay-Hunt syndrome
• Serological tests like ELISA and PCR to rule out
• Virological Analysis of endoneurial fluid obtained during decompression
surgeryrevelaed HSV-1 in 11 of 14 Bells’ Palsy Patients.*
*Gliden DH. Bell’s Palsy. N Engl J Med 2004:23;1323-31
• Electric test like Trans Temporal stimulation electromyography –
presence of voluntary motor unit indicates continuity of nerve.
• Nerve Excitability test
• Trigeminal blink reflex is the only test to measure the intracranial
pathway of facial nerve
• Conventional radiographs, CT, MRI
Indian J Stomatol 2013;4(1):36-39
27
28. INFRANUCLEAR LESIONS (LMNs) SUPRANUCLEAR LESIONS (UMNs)
LMN lesion of facial nerve (Bell’s
Palsy), the whole of the face of the
same side gets paralyzed.
The face becomes assymetrical and is
drawn up to normal side.
The affected side is motionless.
Wrinkles disappear and eye cannot
be closed.
Peripheral Palsy
UMN lesions of Facial nerve is
usually a part of hemiplegia.
Only the lower part of opposite side
of the face is paralyzed.
The upper part of frontalis and
orbicularis oris escapes due to its
bilateral representation in the
cerebral cortex.
Central Palsy
28
29. Orbicularis oculi
• If any injury to the nerve supllying orbicularis oculi, it will cause paralysis
of that muscle. This causes of drooping of the lower eyelid, called as
‘Ectropion’.
• Spilling of tears is called “Epiphora”.
29
30. Tetanus
• Tetanus is a clinical diagnosis characterized by a triad of muscle rigidity,
muscle spasms and autonomic instability.
• Clostridium tetani spores enter into the body through any abrasions on
the skin.
• Release tetanospasmin (potent neurotoxin)
C/F:
• Early symptoms of tetanus include neck stiffness, sore throat, dysphagia
and trismus.
• Spasm extending to the facial muscles causes the typical facial
expression, ‘risus sardonicus’.
• Truncal spasm causes opisthotonus.
Continuing Education in Anaesthesia, Critical Care & Pain | Volume 6 Number 3 2006
30
31. Parkinson’s Disease
• Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a chronic, progressive, neurodegenerative
disorder .
• Characterized by resting tremors, cogwheel rigidity, bradykinesia.
• PD results from idiopathic degeneration of dopaminergic cells in the
pars compacta of substantia nigra
Depletion of neurotransmitter dopamine in the basal ganglia
• The four cardinal signs of PD are
resting tremor, rigidity or stiffness,
bradykinesia and postural instability.
31
32. Congenital
• Mobius Syndrome
• It is an extremely rare congenital neurological disorder which is
characterized by facial paralysis and the inability to move the eyes from
side to side. Most people with Möbius syndrome are born with complete
facial paralysis and cannot close their eyes or form facial expressions. Limb
and chest wall abnormalities sometimes occur with the syndrome.
32
33. • Melkersons-Rosenthal Syndrome
It is a rare neurological characterized by recurring facial paralysis,
swelling of the face and lips (usually the upper lip), and the development
of folds and furrows
33
34. • Ramsay Hunt Syndrome:
Peripheral facial nerve palsy
May be unilateral or bilateral
Vesicular rash on ear
Ear pain, tingling, tearing, loss of sensation and nystagmus.
• Ramsay Hunt Syndrome Type II:
Reactivation of latent Herpes zoster virus within the dorsal root ganglion
of facial nerve is associated with vesicles affecting ear canal.
