Percentage of Lateral Pterygoid Muscle Inserted in the Disc of Human Temporomandibular Joint
Galdames, IS (reprint author), Univ Talca, Ave Lircay S-N Oficina 104, Talca, Chile. Contreras, JT (Tapia Contreras, Jorge); Cantin, M (Cantin, Mario); Zavando, D (Zavando, Daniela); Galdames, IS (Suazu Galdames, Ivan)Insertion of the upper head of the lateral pterygoid (UHLP) in the temporomandibular joint disc (TMJ) has been linked to anterior displacement of the disc and temporomandibular disfunction. The aim of this study was to determine in human adults, the percentage of muscle fiber in the upper head of the lateral pterygoid muscle inserted in the articular disc. A systematic review of the literature was designed beginning with articles published in Medline, Lilacs and Scielo data bases between the years 1990 and 2010. Key words "Lateral Pterygoid Muscle" and Pterygoid Lateral Muscle" were used, and the term MeSH "Pterygoid Muscle" with Boolean OR "Lateral Ptrerygoid Muscle" AND "Insertion" and the free terms "Pterygoid Lateral Muscle Disc Articular" and "Pterygoid lateral Muscle Meniscus". Of the 156 articles obtained and analyzed, 18 articles meeting eligibility criteria were selected. Based on those articles the percentage of insertion of the CSPL in the TMJ disc was evaluated, each one was subsequently assigned a level of evidence according to OCEBM Oxford Centre Evidence Based Medicine. Only four articles answered the research inquiry, three studies were histological and one used imaging techniques with cross section slices with an adequate evidence level (1B). However, results differed with insertion percentages from 2% to 69.8% being reported in the superior head of the lateral pterygoid muscle in the articular disc
Development of a nomogram using fundus photography to predict glaucoma progression in patients showing disc hemorrhage
To develop a nomogram to predict the progression of glaucoma by fundus photography in patients with disc hemorrhage. Retrospective review of the medical records of patients with disc hemorrhage, which was detected during follow up with open angle glaucoma, from January 2010 to March 2018. Patients were divided into glaucoma progression (n = 52) or non-progression (n = 38) groups. We assessed proximal location and morphology of disc hemorrhage; relationship to retinal nerve fiber layer defects with disc hemorrhage; and angular extent of disc hemorrhage, between groups using fundus photography. Multiple logistic regression analysis was performed to select prognostic factors, and we constructed a nomogram to predict glaucoma progression. The number of disc hemorrhage at the border of retinal nerve fiber layer defects (P = 0.001) and peripapillary disc hemorrhage (P = 0.008) were significantly higher in the progression group. We used angular extent; location of disc hemorrhage with retinal nerve fiber layer defects; and proximal location of disc hemorrhage to construct the nomogram. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of the nomogram was 0.847. We created the nomogram using fundus photography in patients showing disc hemorrhage as a novel and accurate screening method to predict glaucoma progression and aid clinicians to decide on the best treatment plan.ope
The Dawes Review 1: Kinematic studies of star-forming galaxies across cosmic time
The last seven years have seen an explosion in the number of Integral Field
galaxy surveys, obtaining resolved 2D spectroscopy, especially at
high-redshift. These have taken advantage of the mature capabilities of 8-10 m
class telescopes and the development of associated technology such as AO.
Surveys have leveraged both high spectroscopic resolution enabling internal
velocity measurements and high spatial resolution from AO techniques and sites
with excellent natural seeing. For the first time, we have been able to glimpse
the kinematic state of matter in young, assembling star-forming galaxies and
learn detailed astrophysical information about the physical processes and
compare their kinematic scaling relations with those in the local Universe.
Observers have measured disc galaxy rotation, merger signatures, and
turbulence-enhanced velocity dispersions of gas-rich discs. Theorists have
interpreted kinematic signatures of galaxies in a variety of ways (rotation,
merging, outflows, and feedback) and attempted to discuss evolution vs.
theoretical models and relate it to the evolution in galaxy morphology. A key
point that has emerged from this activity is that substantial fractions of
high-redshift galaxies have regular kinematic morphologies despite irregular
photometric morphologies and this is likely due to the presence of a large
number of highly gas-rich discs. There has not yet been a review of this
burgeoning topic. In this first Dawes review, I will discuss the extensive
kinematic surveys that have been done and the physical models that have arisen
for young galaxies at high-redshift.Comment: 51 pages, 34,000 words, 16 figures. A few minor corrections have been
