Neuroendocrine, Autocrine, and Paracrine control of follicle-stimulating hormone secretion
Publication date: Available online 2 November 2019Source: Molecular and Cellular EndocrinologyAuthor(s): Vasantha Padmanabhan, Rodolfo C. CardosoAbstractFollicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is a glycoprotein hormone produced by gonadotropes in the anterior pituitary that plays a central role in controlling ovarian folliculogenesis and steroidogenesis in females. Moreover, recent studies strongly suggest that FSH exerts extragonadal actions, particularly regulating bone mass and adiposity. Despite its...

Food Sensitivity and Laryngopharyngeal Reflux: Preliminary Observations
Reflux is an expensive, high prevalence disease that affects at least half of patients with laryngeal and voice disorders. Approaches to treatment of laryngopharyngeal reflux include medical, lifestyle, dietary, and surgical treatment options.2 We review four patients who had persistent reflux signs and symptoms on appropriate lifestyle including elevating head of bed and dietary modifications, as well as antacid, H2 receptor blockers, and proton pump inhibitor therapy, who improved substantially...

Comprehensive Post Orthognathic Surgery Orthodontics
This article presents basic concepts, philosophies, treatment protocols, risks, and potential complications associated with postsurgical patient management. Postsurgical orthodontic goals are to maximize the occlusal fit and provide predictable means to retain the occlusion. Aggressive orthodontic mechanics may be required to provide the best occlusal fit. Complications can occur, but early recognition of complications and implementation of corrective tactics should minimize adverse outcomes. (Source:...

Aesthetic Facial Surgery and Orthodontics
Many of the aesthetic facial procedures can be performed simultaneously at the time of initial orthognathic surgery. Correction of any residual deformities after surgery, such as mandibular notching, malar asymmetry, labiomental crease, and any camouflage treatment, should be performed as a delayed procedure, when the outcome is more predictable. Additionally, these procedures could be used to enhance the orthodontic result, without the need of osteotomies to reposition the bones. (Source: Oral and...

Idiopathic Condylar Resorption
Idiopathic condylar resorption (ICR), alternatively called progressive condylar resorption, is an uncommon aggressive form of degenerative disease of the temporomandibular joint seen mostly in adolescent and young women. ICR occurring before the completion of growth results in a shorter mandibular condyloid process, ramus and body, compensatory growth at the gonial angle and coronoid process, as well as an increase in anterior facial vertical dimension. Management options discussed include oral appliances,...

Orthodontic and Surgical Considerations for Treating Impacted Teeth
Impacted teeth occur in a significant number of patients. Their management requires coordinated efforts of orthodontists and oral and maxillofacial surgeons. Specifically, optimal results require a prompt orthodontic diagnosis and treatment plan with execution of either closed or open exposure of impacted teeth by the oral and maxillofacial surgeon. Failure to consider orthodontic mechanics and proper surgical technique can lead to suboptimal results. Thus, orthodontist/oral and maxillofacial surgeon...

Vagal Nerve Stimulation
Vagal nerve stimulation (VNS) therapy is a surgical treatment that involves the implantation of a device to electrically stimulate the vagus nerve. It is indicated as an adjunctive treatment of epilepsy that is refractory to antiepileptic medications and for treatment-resistant depression. The exact mechanism by which VNS achieves its effects is not known, but various mechanisms have been proposed, including afferent vagal projections to seizure-generating regions of the brain and desynchronization...

Surgical anatomy of the larynx
This article provides a review of the surgical anatomy of the larynx. The external cartilaginous and bony framework of the larynx are described in relation to how these structures can be used as landmarks to identify internal features of the larynx. The overlying musculature of the larynx is also detailed. The spaces of the internal larynx are explained including the pre-epiglottic, paraglottic, and cricoid area by their borders and contents to assist in orienting the surgeon. The course of vasculature...
