Submitted by RiverView Health  |  Crookston Times Are you experiencing pain related to Temporomandibular Joint or TMJ? Is the pain hindering your daily lifestyle? If so, contact RiverView Health's Rehab Services Department for relief. The jaw is also known as the Temporomandibular Joint. The TMJ comprises several parts: the lower jaw (or mandible) and the socket (or temporal bone). In between the mandible and the socket is a disc. The disc allows the joint to glide smoothly on opening and closing. The joint is also held in place by muscles and ligaments. It can become painful due to injury, inflammatory disease, poor postures and habits, or growth disorders. Temporal Mandibular Disorder (TMD) is the term used for the complex set of conditions characterized by pain and dysfunction as a result of a problem with the jaw, jaw joint and/or surrounding facial muscles that control chewing and jaw motion. There are several causes for TMD, and frequently it is a combinat...

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KKTV) - Local doctors are seeing more and more kids come through their doors sick with all sorts of different illnesses. They say this year is the exact opposite of last year when it comes to the amount of sicknesses going around, and it's not just COVID. "This year has been 180 degrees different than last year," Dr. Adam Robinson, a pediatrician at Matthews-Vu Medical Group said. "This time last year we virtually saw no sicknesses, upper respiratory illnesses, RSV, flu--and it's the opposite this year. So we are inundated with sick visits, kids with anything from the common cold to influenza and of course COVID." The pediatrician says this is because people are gathering in larger groups, schools are back in session, and people might not be taking the same safety precautions as they were last year. "I think there's a combination of factors. Number one, this time of the year, the season with cooler weather coming, it's a...

Atrial fibrillation, also called AFib, is a condition in which the heart beats chaotically and rapidly. As many as 6 million people in the United States and 9% of those over the age of 65 have the condition. To help prevent a stroke — a common and serious risk associated with AFib — patients are treated with blood thinners. But for some, the medication itself can be risky. Fortunately, physicians have another tool in their stroke prevention arsenal: an implantable device. " The biggest risk as AFib progresses is the formation of a blood clot in the heart that can then travel to the brain and cause a stroke," said Dr. Christopher Rogers, a clinical cardiac electrophysiologist at Penn State Health Medical Group ─ Berks Cardiology. "When a patient is in AFib, their heart's top chambers — the atria — beat irregularly and cause stagnant blood flow. In the left-top chamber, there's a pouch that sticks out, called the left atrial appendage, where blood...

Last week, Pfizer came out with results from their phase 2 and 3 trial of more than 2,000 children from ages 5 to 11. Pfizer said that the data showed similar results in efficacy for those 16 to 25. The dosage for the 5 to 11 is just a smaller dose.  The data results have been shared with the FDA for the agency's initial review. Pfizer is expected to submit a formal request for emergency use authorization (EUA) for its COVID-19 vaccine in children 5 to under 12 years of age after releasing data from its trials. Submissions to the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and other regulatory authorities are also planned. Pediatricians are hopeful for the potential to be able to vaccinate kids ages 5 to 11, as kids under 12 made up just under 10% of cases in the state last week. "Our hospital system is strained in pediatrics, too, and studies have shown unvaccinated teenagers have a 10x more likely to be hospitalized than vaccinated teenagers," said Dr. Ashley Weed...

Introduction Melasma is an acquired disorder of hyperpigmentation that typically presents as irregular pigmented spot on the sun-exposed areas of skin, especially on the face and neck. 1 Its pathogenesis has not been fully elucidated. The triggers for melasma are diverse, including inheritance, ultraviolet light, inflammation, oxidative stress, disruption of the skin barrier, angiogenesis and estrogen. 1 The prevention of sunlight and hyperpigmentation is the therapeutic goal of melasma, but melasma is intractable and readily recurrent currently. 1,2 Despite available multimodal treatments, which include various topical agents, systemic agents, and laser therapy, treatment outcomes have been disappointing. To this date, no single therapeutic approach has been proved entirely effective. Skin care products are daily chemical industrial products that are spread over human skin and its appendages by smearing, spraying or other similar methods to clean, skin care, beauty, sunscreen, ...
