The objective was to examine condyle movement during rigid bronchoscopy under general anesthesia. A method to record the tracings was developed using the CADIAX III system (GAMMA AG, Klosterneuburg, Austria). The purpose of our efforts was to find out whether rigid bronchoscopy harms the temporomandibular joint. To this end, we recorded mandible movements before, during and after operation. We also conducted a brief comparison between bronchoscopy and laryngoscopy. The majority of Heidelberg Thoraxklinik patients have a past or present history of lung cancer and as such were under considerable mental stress; this extraordinary mental situation was a factor. Extreme movements were recorded, with motion probably limited by the ligaments. We found no evidence of harm to the temporomandibular joint system. #TemporomandibularJoint #Anesthesia #RigidBronchoscopy #ElectronicMeasurement #AdvancedBleedingGums #CoronalFracture #DentalAnesthesiaAndSedation #DentalPlaque #DentalRadiology #DentistryAndDiabetes #GumCancer #GumInfection #OcclusalSplint #OralLeukoplakia #Orthodentistry #Periodentistry #RootCanalTreatment #DentalRestoration #CosmeticDentistry #Peertechz #PeertechzPublications #OpenAccess #ScientificJournals #PeerReviewedJournals #OpenAccessPublishers #MinimalInterventionDentistry #OralAndMaxillofacialSurgery #DentalInstruments #Xerostomia #ForensicOdontology #DentalTraumatology #ToothBleaching #RootEndSurgery

https://lnkd.in/dQbZ9RPd To give or not give B blocker post AMI in those with no left ventricular dysfunction /Heart Failureand stable coronary disease and if you give in these patients, should you continue this 3 years later if still stable. REDUCE-AMI showed no increase in MI or Stroke even with interruption of b blockers in the acute phase in the above populations. The ABYSS trial shows an increase in Blood pressure and Heart Rate and number of hospitalisations (due to angina) after interruption of these meds 3 years after so the big question is to start them or not and if starting them should you discontinue years after . The answer probably , and for now, depends primarily on the patient´s wishes (medicine side effects , costs and comorbidities , quality of life in general). More studies needed to answer if there is a benefit of these meds in these patients both in the acute and chronic phase.
