A novel combination of treatments for acute anterior disc displacement without reduction of temporomandibular joint by Zhi-qiang Song, Chen‑xi Li, Zhong‑cheng Gong

“…After one week of treatment, the MMO exhibited a statistically significant improvement, while the VAS pain scores showed a statistically significant decrease (P < 0.001). Magnetic resonance imaging revealed that at six months post-treatment, there was a significant forward shift in the condylar position compared with pre-treatment (P < 0.001),alongside a significant backward movement of the disc on the affected side (P < 0.001).The combination of arthrocentesis plus HA, MM, and TBA can effectively relieve clinical symptoms and restore the disc-condylar relationship in patients with acute ADDwoR.…”

Brain plasticity associated with prolonged shooting training: a multimodal neuroimaging investigation from a cross-sectional study by Keying Zhang, Tao Zhao, Yu Ding, Jia Cheng, Chunmei Cao

“…BackgroundAlthough training has been recognized as a potential contributor to neuroplasticity in athletes, the impact of prolonged shooting training on human brain plasticity remains unclear in the existing literature.MethodsIn this cross-sectional study, we used a multimodal neuroimaging analysis, including the analysis of functional blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images, structural T1-weighted MRI images, and diffusion MRI images, to systematically identify differences between elite shooters and normal controls.ResultsThe results showed that compared to male normal controls, male elite shooters had higher regional homogeneity (ReHo) in the frontal lobe, parietal lobe, precuneus, thalamus, and cingulate gyrus, as well as higher functional connectivity between the medial frontal cortex (MedFC) and temporooccipital middle temporal gyrus (toMTG). …”
