How Do You Treat Nasal Fractures?
Discussion
Facial trauma is common and accounts for about 11% of all pediatric emergency room visits. Nasal fractures are fewer in younger ages but increase in incidence as children age because of increased opportunity for trauma (e.g. playing, sports, car accidents, etc.). Anatomy also plays a part as young children have more cartilaginous structures and the nose does not protrude as much as an older child or adult who also have more osseous structures.

The relationship between pregnancy and temporomandibular disorder (TMD) through diagnostic criteria for temporomandibular disorders (DC/TMD) axis II evaluation: a case-control cross-sectional study
DiscussionThe
findings suggest that pregnancy is neither a risk nor a protective
factor for TMD. Differences in pain perception, functional status, and
psychological health were observed in pregnant women but were not
consistent for all TMD-related aspects. The role of estrogen in TMJ
health and TMD risk is complex and requires further study. The research
highlights the necessity of including mental health, especially
depression, in TMD assessments. More comprehensive research with larger
sample sizes is essential to better understand the connections between
pregnancy, TMD, and hormones, aiming to improve TMD mana...

6 Things to Do if Your Doctor Isn ’ t Listening to You
Liz Helms still remembers the way her doctor looked at her 30 years ago, when she described the severe pain she was experiencing in the area around her jaw. She told him she had limited facial movement and frequent muscle spasms, and that it felt like she was being struck by lightning again and again. She cataloged the ways her life had turned upside down. “But I could see it in his face—he either wasn’t listening or didn’t believe me,” Helms says. She remembers thinking: “They treat animals better than they’re treating humans.”
