A Brief description of the causes and clinical manifestations of the internal derangement of the temporomandibular joint , with particular emphasis on Disc Displacements .
Dr. Ahmed M. Adawy, Professor Emeritus, Dep. Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery. Former Dean, Faculty of Dental Medicine, Al-Azhar University. Mandibular angle fractures account for 23% to 42% of all facial fractures. Fracture of mandibular angle can be classified as (A) Vertical favorable or unfavorable, (B) Horizontally favorable of unfavorable. Traditionally, mandibular angle fractures have been treated with either closed reduction and inter-maxillary fixation or open reduction and internal fixation with or without inter-maxillary fixation. Patients treated with inter-maxillary fixation have a restricted airway and loose excess weight. Rigid internal fixation and early return to function have eliminated the use of wire osteosenthysis and prolonged use of inter-maxillary fixation. The principal of rigid fixation, however, have inherent set of disadvantages including damage to the inferior alveolar nerve and the marginal mandibular branch of facial nerve. Postoperative malocclusion rates are also high. With the introduction of semi-rigid technique fracture of the mandibular angle could be treated according to Champy’s Ideal lines of osteosenthysis. The technique involves placement of a single monocortial miniplate on the superior border of the mandible. However, some studies suggested using a second miniplate along the inferior border. Wether one or two miniplates should be used is still debatable. The application of 3D plates may provide additional stability in 3 dimension and good resistance against torque forces.

TMJ is a ginglymo-diarthroidal joint that is freely mobile with superior and inferior joint spaces separated by articular disc.
The type of imaging technique depends upon the clinical problems associated, so either imaging of hard tissue (OSSEOUS) or soft tissue is desired.
Certain protocols are to be taken care before the imaging procedure:
the amount of diagnostic information available from particular imaging modality.
The cost of examination
The radiation dose

Traditionally, obtaining tissue diagnosis from the Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) has required invasive open techniques. In this case-series, the authors demonstrate a minimally invasive technique using arthroscopy to diagnose and treat Pigmented Villonodular Synovitis (PVNS) and pseudogout of the TMJ, followed by a review of the literature.
Distraction osteogenesis (DO) is a surgical technique that takes advantage of
natural wound healing mechanisms to augment bone and soft tissues. DO is
extremely versatile and can be applied to nearly any bone. In the craniofacial
skeleton, the cranial vault, midface, maxilla andmandible are themost common
sites for DO. This technique allows larger skeletal movements than could be
achieved with conventional techniques, decreases operative time and blood
loss, eliminates the need for bone grafts and associated donor site morbidity,
and may improve postoperative stability. DO can be used in preparation for, in
lieu of, or in combination with orthognathic surgery to correct dentofacial deformities.
Distraction osteogenesis, also called callus distraction, callotasis and osteodistraction, is a process used in orthopedic surgery, podiatric surgery, and oral and maxillofacial surgery to repair skeletal deformities and in reconstructive surgery

The masticatory system is the functional unit of the body primarily responsible for chewing, speaking, and swallowing. Components also play a major role in tasting and breathing. The system is made up of bones, joints, ligaments, teeth, and muscles. In addition, an intricate neurologic controlling system regulates and coordinates all these structural components
Temporomandibular joint
The articulation of the condylar process of the mandible and the intra-articular disc with the mandibular fossa of the squamous portion of the temporal bone; a diarthrodial, sliding hinge (ginglymus) joint; movement in the upper joint compartment is mostly translational, whereas that in the lower joint compartment is mostly rotational; the joint connects the mandibular condyle to the articular fossa of the temporal bone with the TEMPOROMANDIBULAR JOINT ARTICULAR DISC interposed.
The TMJ is a ginglymoarthrodial joint, a term that is derived from ginglymus, meaning a hinge joint, allowing motion only backward and forward in one plane, and arthrodia, meaning a joint of which permits a gliding motion of the surfaces. The right and left TMJ form a bicondylar articulation and ellipsoid variety of the synovial joints similar to knee articulation
Characteristic features of Temporomandibular Joint
• Presence of dense avascular fibrocartilaginous instead of hyline cartilage.
• Temporomandibular joint is in fact a double joint consisting of 2 synovial joint cavities separated by an articular- disc, each performing different functions.
• 2 Temporomandibular joint does not function independently, one joint is dependent on the other.
• Functional movement of the joint are guided by the nature of the occlusal surface of the teeth
ANATOMICAL COMPONENTS
1) Bony components
• Glenoid fossa
• Mandibular condyle
• Articular disk
• Articular capsule
2) Ligaments
• Fibrous caspsule
• Temporomandibular
• Sphenomandibular
• Stylomandibular
• Pterygomandibular ligament
BONEY COMPONENTS
A) GLENOID FOSSA
The temporal part of the joint measures approximately 23-mm, both in mediolateral width and in anteroposterior length, and is measured using capsular attachments as the margins. Medially, the fossa narrows considerably and is closed by an osseous plate that prevents the condyle from being displaced medially.
Squamous tympanic fissure extend mediolaterally from posterior part of the glenoid fossa.
Roof of the glenoid fossa is mostly thin and translucent in many skulls, which shows that the articular fossa is not a stress bearing part of functional TMJ.
B) MANDIBULAR CONDYLE
This component consists of an ovoid condylar process seated atop a narrow mandibular neck. It is 15 to 20 mm side to side and 8 to 10 mm from front to back.
The lateral pole of the condyle is rough, bluntly pointed, and projects only moderately from the plane of ramus, while the medial pole extends sharply inward from this plane. The articular surface lies on its anterosuperior aspect, thus facing the posterior.

The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection
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!

Dr. Nitzanin in Israel: Clenching increases intra-articular pressures to exceed the perfusion pressure of blood & thereby leads to inadequate nutrition of tissues. Increased intra-articular pressure causes the release of free radicals that destroy lubricant which results in stickiness, pulling & tearing of elastin & lateral ligament.

A 24-year-old male presented to the emergency department with periauricular swelling, erythema, fever, myalgia, and generalized joint pain that had been present for 2–3 weeks, the patient had a large swelling and tenderness in his left periauricular area, with erythema and deviation of the right mandible. This limited the patient's ability to open the mouth to about 10-15 mm. His white blood cell count was elevated at 22.5 × 103 cells/ml; Magnetic resonance imaging was then ordered and a large left TMJ effusion was seen [Figure 2]. Two milliliters of turbid(cloudy, opaque) fluid was withdrawn from the joint space via needle aspiration

T1 weighted (W) sagittal image shows multiple loose bodies, most of which have small and low signal intensity (SI) within a soft tissue mass (arrows). The soft tissue mass shows high SI because of fluid collection in it which represents expanded articular cavity. (b) Post-contrast T1W coronal MR image shows a soft tissue mass (arrows) expanding into the right temporomandibular joint space. This mass shows peripheral wall enhancement representing thickened synovium. Further, masticator space and pterygoid muscle with solid components are enhanced because of the metaplasia of the synovial tissue.
