Objective: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a sleep disorder accompanied by intermittent hypoxia. Neuromuscular transmission (NT) is known to be disturbed under chronic hypoxia. In this descriptive study, it has been aimed to test NT under intermittent hypoxia in OSA. Methods: Thirty-nine newly diagnosed OSA patients without any comorbidities or conditions that alter NT were included in the study. Jitter analysis was performed using a concentric needle electrode. Results: The mean jitter value of 39 OSA patients was 25.9 ± 3.7 μs. When compared to the mean reference jitter values, patients in the present study had significantly higher jitter (p < 0.001). Seven (17.9%) patients met the electrophysiological criteria for NT failure. Conclusion: The authors propose that intermittent hypoxia can be the trigger for NT failure in OSA. The interaction between increased oxidative stress and disturbed mitochondrial functions may also contribute.

Background: Osteochondromas of the mandibular condyle show facial asymmetry and malocclusion. Because condylar osteochondromas are generally resected in a preauricular approach with risks of facial nerve injury and visible scar, the authors report endoscopically assisted intraoral resection of osteochondroma of the mandibular condyle with a piezoelectric surgical device.Case presentation: A 38-year-old woman presented with malocclusion and facial asymmetry caused by deviation of the chin to the left. Computed tomography showed a hyperdense, well-circumscribed mass arising from the medial aspect of the right mandibular condyle with resorption of the skull base. The patient underwent an endoscopically-assisted intraoral condylectomy with a piezoelectric surgical device. The postoperative course was uneventful without trismus, malocclusion, or facial asymmetry, and there was no recurrence 4 years after surgery.Conclusion:Endoscopically assisted intraoral resection of osteochondroma of the mandibular condyle with a piezoelectric surgical device is a minimally invasive and safe surgery.

Objective: To describe the role of body posture and skeletal class in the symmetrical activity of chewing muscles.
Methods: Descriptive study with association. Skeletal class measured by the Steiner method. Postural analysis through APECS mobile application for forward head posture and shoulder discrepancy, and surface electromyography with Biopac® device.
Results: The skeletal class, forward head posture, and shoulder discrepancy presented statistical association with the symmetrical electromyographic response of digastric muscles and masseter muscles during swallowing.
Discussion: This study exhibited a positive relationship between digastric muscle symmetry and skeletal class during swallowing. The compensation of the hyoid system explains these results, showing that skeletal Class III has better electromyographic balance. In contrast, masseter muscle symmetry during swallowing presented a negative relationship with skeletal class. The stabilization role that this muscle plays during swallowing explains these findings, caused by the different lengths and direction of this muscle in skeletal Class III.

Objective: To investigate myoelectric signals of dystonic activities in oromandibular dystonia (OMD) subjects using surface electromyography (EMG).
Methods: Twelve OMD subjects were included in this study. Resting myoelectric activities of the superficial masseter, anterior temporalis, and anterior belly of the digastric muscle on both sides were monitored, and dystonic muscle contractions were recorded using surface EMG. Myoelectric signal amplitude, the type of muscle contraction, and contraction rate for phasic activities were evaluated.
Results: Surface EMG revealed that eight subjects had dystonic muscle activities in the phasic contraction pattern, three subjects had a tonic contraction pattern, and one subject had a mixed pattern. Synchronous contraction of dystonic muscles was frequently observed. Many of the monitored muscles showed high resting amplitudes.
Conclusion: Surface EMG detects abnormal muscle activities related to oromandibular dystonia. Surface EMG can serve as an objective method for diagnosing oromandibular dystonia.

Objective: To compile the screening tools used to study temporomandibular disorders (TMD), classify and analyze their potential application in the field of physiotherapy.Methods: All gathered data included randomized clinical trials on humans over 18 years of age pulled from three databases up to November 2019.Results: Nineteen articles were retained, in which the subjects included 1095 women and 385 men. The 32 valuation systems reported were classified as follows: direct, requiring observation and/or palpation in situ by a clinician, which can be subdivided into protocols and instrumental systems; and indirect, requiring neither observation nor palpation by a clinician, which can be subdivided into questionnaires and scales.Conclusion: In order to evaluate TMD, the best choice is to combine direct and indirect assessment methodologies. The valuation of pressure pain threshold with an algometer and Fonseca's Anamnestic Index in combination with Anamnestic Questionnaire CMD, respectively, seems to provide the best results.

Objective: : Systematic reviews (SRs) are an increasingly important format in the scientific literature. Commentaries on improvements to the SR format have focused on methodological quality, but a greater concern is a frequent lack of critical analysis. A structured critical analysis (SCA) was described as a solution to this deficiency.
Methods: : Recommendations and conclusions of a recent SR were analyzed with a SCA to address common problems previously reported with the SR format.
Results: : Errors in the component studies and their interpretation by the SR that led to erroneous recommendations were presented. The 5-part SCA provided comprehensive analysis that corrected the SR, which had accepted the component study conclusions verbatim.
Conclusion: : The SCA is a logical approach to provide critical thinking in SRs to ensure appropriate conclusions. This is especially important, as many SRs report contradictory evidence. Also, the reader can use the SCA format to better understand existing literature.
目标: :系统综述(SR)是科学文献中一种日益重要的形式。关于改进系统综述格式的评论主要集中在方法论质量上,但更令人担忧的是经常缺乏批判性分析。结构化批判性分析(SCA)被认为是解决这一不足的方法:方法:采用 SCA 分析了最近一份 SR 的建议和结论,以解决之前报告的 SR 格式中的常见问题:结果:介绍了导致错误建议的成分研究中的错误以及工作人员代表对这些错误的解释。由 5 个部分组成的 SCA 提供了全面的分析,纠正了逐字接受成分研究结论的 SR:SCA 是一种逻辑方法,可为员工代表提供批判性思维,以确保得出适当的结论。这一点尤为重要,因为许多工作人员代表报告的证据相互矛盾。此外,读者还可以使用 SCA 格式更好地理解现有文献。

Objectives: This study established the diagnostic accuracy of the Fonseca Anamnestic Index (FAI) in relation to the Diagnostic Criteria for TMD (DC/TMD) standard.Methods: A total of 866 TMD patients and 57 TMD-free controls were instructed to answer the FAI and DC/TMD Symptom Questionnaire (SQ). Participants were subsequently categorized into no (NT), pain-related (PT), and/or intra-articular (IT) TMDs using the DC/TMD protocolized examination/algorithms. Receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curves, best cut-off points, and accuracy measures were determined.Results:The FAI demonstrated high accuracy for detecting all TMDs, PT, and IT (AUC = 0.96-0.98). The best cut-off points were 22.50 for all TMDs/IT and 27.50 for PT. Sensitivity of the FAI was high (94.23-98.21%), but specificity was moderate (87.72%) for all diagnostic categories.Discussion:The diagnostic accuracy of the FAI for identifying pain-related and intra-articular TMDs was high. FAI scores ≥25 points should be used to screen for TMDs.

Objective: This study aimed to validate the Geriatric Sleep Questionnaire (GSQ) for assessing subjective sleep quality among elderly individuals in Iran.
Methods: The GSQ underwent evaluation for face and content validity. Participants were selected via convenience sampling from five healthcare centers. Sociodemographic variables, including gender, number of children, recreational activities, budget deficits, and family conflicts were analyzed. Confirmatory factor analysis was conducted to verify the results. Internal consistency was assessed using Cronbach's α, and test-retest reliability was evaluated using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC).
Results: 200 older adults (mean age 66.8 years) completed the questionnaires. Face and content validity were confirmed by 30 experts (S-CVI/average = 0.96). The final model exhibited good fit indices (χ2/df = 2.89, CFI = 0.96). The scale demonstrated acceptable internal consistency (α = 0.81) and test-retest reliability (ICC = 0.98).
Conclusion: The Persian GSQ demonstrates high reliability and validity for assessing sleep quality in older adults, aiding research in this field.
