A prospective, single-centre study on patient outcomes following temporomandibular joint replacement using a custom-made Biomet TMJ prosthesis.

Background Mastectomy is a common surgical procedure associated with intra and postoperative pain if untreated adequately will lead to chronic pain. Objectives This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of serratus anterior plane block using bupivacaine/magnesium sulfate versus bupivacaine/ nalbuphine for mastectomy. Methods 40 ASA I and II female patients age 25 - 60 years underwent breast cancer surgery received the block before induction of general anesthesia were divided into two groups GBM (n = 20): (bupivacaine/magnesium sulphate): received bupivacaine 30 mL 0.25% and 500 mg magnesium sulphate, GBN (n = 20): (bupivacaine/nalbuphine): received bupivacaine 30 mL 0.25% and nalbuphine 0.2 mg/kg. The following parameters were recorded: The sensory block, motor block, postoperative heart rate, noninvasive mean blood pressure: at 1, 6, 12, 24 h, postoperative time to first request of analgesics (hours), VAS at rest and movement at 1, 6, 12, 24 h, postoperative analgesic requirements (pethidine mg/24 h). Results The sensory block was statistically significantly lower in the GBM group than the GBN group at 24 hours postoperatively. The Medical Research Council scale was statistically significantly lower in the GBN group than the GBM group at 24 hours postoperatively. Postoperative time to first request of analgesics (hours) was statistically significantly longer in the GBN group than the GBM group, VAS at rest was statistically significantly lower in the GBN group than GBM group at 6th and 24th hours, VAS at movement showed no statistically significant differences between the two groups. Intraoperative fentanyl and postoperative analgesic requirements (pethidine mg/24 h) showed no statistically significant differences between the two groups. Conclusions Serratus anterior plane block using bupivacaine/nalbuphine provided effective postoperative analgesia, reduced postoperative pain than bupivacaine/magnesium sulfate in a mastectomy.

Efficacy of Serratus Anterior Plane Block Using Bupivacaine/ Magnesium Sulfate Versus Bupivacaine/ Nalbuphine for Mastectomy: A Randomized, Double-Blinded Comparative Study.

Background The options for stabilization appliance therapy for masticatory muscle pain include soft occlusal and hard stabilization appliances A previous study suggested that hard stabilization appliance therapy was effective for patients with local myalgia who developed long facets on their occlusal appliances The objective of this study was to identify patients in whom a soft occlusal appliance should be used to treat masticatory muscle pain by analyzing the type of muscle pain present and patient factors that influenced the effectiveness of this treatment Methods The study included 42 patients diagnosed with local myalgia or myofascial pain according to the Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders Diagnostic Decision Tree The analysis of patient factors included variables believed to be associated with temporomandibular disorders First, a temporary screening appliance was used for 2 weeks to assess each patient for bruxism during sleep Soft appliance therapy was then started For each patient, the effectiveness of the appliance was evaluated according to the intensity of tenderness during muscle palpation and the treatment satisfaction score at one month after starting treatment Results Data from 37 of the 42 patients were available for analysis Twenty-five patients reported satisfaction with the appliance In logistic regression analysis, the odds ratio for reduction of facet length was 1998 Nineteen patients showed at least a 30% improvement in the visual analog scale score The odds ratio for local myalgia was 18148 Conclusion Soft appliance therapy may be used in patients with local myalgia Moreover, patients who develop short facets on the appliance surface are likely to be satisfied with soft appliance therapy Soft appliance therapy may be appropriate for patients with local myalgia who develop short facets on their occlusal appliance
