There are relevant clinical overlaps between some of the painful temporomandibular disorders (TMD) and headache conditions that may hamper the diagnostic process and treatment. A non-systematic search for studies on the relationship between TMD and headaches was carried out in the following databases: PubMed, Cochrane Library and Embase. Important pain mechanisms contributing to the close assoc...

BACKGROUND AND RATIONALE Preoperative evaluation is important in the detection of patients at risk for difficult tracheal intubation. Thyromental distance (TMD) is often used for these purposes, but its value as an indicator for difficult intubation is questionable, as it varies with patient size and body proportions. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate and compare the accuracies o...

Objectives: The term TMD refers to a group of disorders characterized by pain in the temporomandibular joint and associated structures. The aim of this study was designed to evaluate prevalence, severity and sex distribution of sign and symptoms of TMD and to evaluate their relation with anxiety and depression among the students. Material and Methods: A total of 1000 university students were en...

Sorting of membrane proteins within the secretory pathway of eukaryotic cells is a complex process involving discrete sorting signals as well as physico-chemical properties of the transmembrane domain (TMD). Previous work demonstrated that tail-anchored (TA) protein sorting at the interface between the Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) and the Golgi complex is exquisitely dependent on the length and h...

A new calculation using off-shell matrix elements with TMD parton densities supplemented with a newly developed initial state TMD parton shower is described. The calculation is based on the KaTie package for an automated calculation of the partonic process in high-energy factorization, making use of TMD parton densities implemented in TMDlib. The partonic events are stored in an LHE file, simil...

BACKGROUND Numerous studies have reported a relationship between depression and temporomandibular disorders (TMD), but the conclusions remain undefined. The aim of this article was to examine the temporal relationship between depression and TMD. METHODS In this retrospective matched case-control study, we recruited all samples from a randomsample sub-dataset of one million insured individuals...

BACKGROUND To investigate the associations of aural symptoms, headache and depression with the presence of temporomandibular disorder (TMD) symptoms in a young adult population in Japan. METHODS A personal interview survey was conducted on first-year university students (n = 1,930) regarding symptoms of TMD, aural problems, headache, shoulder pain and depression. Logistic regression was appli...

introduction: the aim of this study was to evaluate mental health in temporomandibular disorders (tmd) patients considering: gender, age, and grade of chronic pain scales (gcps). materials and methods: the data were collected using general health questionnaire (ghq-28) for evaluating mental health and research diagnostic criteria for tmd for evaluating gcps, age, and gender from 75 tmd patient ...

Experimental and epidemiological studies have demonstrated the beneficial effects of the traditional Mediterranean diet (TMD) on the incidence and progression of atherosclerosis. Several genes play a major role in determining atherosclerosis susceptibility. We compared the short-term effects of two TMD diets versus a control diet on the expression of pro-atherogenic genes. One TMD diet was supp...

Thymomodulin (TMD), a thymic biological response modifier, stimulates the release of tumour necrosis factor (TNF) and granulocyte-macrophage-colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) in macrophage-lymphocyte cultures. We investigated the effects of the cytokines released in cultures with TMD, on the expression of human leucocyte antigen-DR (HLA-DR) antigens by alveolar macrophages (AM) and the T-cell ...
