To evaluate the efficacy of maxillomandibular advancement (MMA) surgery for the treatment of malocclusion and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in an adolescent population.

A retrospective cohort study was designed using electronic medical record chart review.

Fifteen patients aged 20 years or younger (range, 14-20) were included. All patients underwent MMA surgery for the primary correction of malocclusion and secondary treatment of OSA. Mean preoperative apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) was 28.9 ± 16.0 events/h (range, 7.1-54.7), and mean postoperative AHI was 5.7 ± 4.6 events/h (range, 1.5-18.4), reflecting a reduction of 23.2 events/h, an 80.6% reduction (P < .001). Fourteen patients (93.3%) experienced improvement in AHI. Mean minimal posterior airway space increased from 4.6 mm to 8.6 mm (P < .001). Mean posterior airway space at the level of the uvular tip increased from 6.7 mm to 11.5 mm (P < .001). Patients who underwent adjunct genioglossus advancement (GGA) had a mean decrease in AHI of 35.3 events/h (P=.004), which was not significantly different from the decrease in those who did not receive GGA.

MMA surgery with or without GGA is an effective treatment option for adolescents with a malocclusion and an AHI >5.0 events/h. In this population, it is shown to decrease AHI and increase posterior airway space. More research is required to determine the ideal adolescent candidate for MMA surgery.

This cross-sectional study established the relationships between temporomandibular disorder (TMD) symptoms, psychological well-being (PWB), and psychological distress (PD). Additionally, the psychological predictors for various TMD features were determined.

TMD symptoms were ascertained with the Diagnostic Criteria for TMDs Symptom Questionnaire in young adults and PWB and PD were assessed with Ryff's Scales of Psychological Well-Being-18 (SPWB-18) and Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scales-21, respectively. Statistical analyses were conducted using Kruskal Wallis/Mann-Whitney U tests, Spearman's correlation, and multivariate logistic regression (α=.05).

Of the 734 participants (mean age=19.35 ± 1.24 years) appraised, 40.7% had no TMD manifestations and 59.3% reported various TMD symptoms (25.2% pain-related, 14.6% intra-articular, and 19.5% combined). Among the 4 symptom groups, significant differences in PWB were perceived for total SPWB and the Environmental Mastery/Self-Acceptance subscales. Significant differences in total Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scales-21, depression, anxiety, and stress were also noted between the pain-related TMD symptoms/combined TMD symptoms and no TMD symptoms groups. For all groups, the strongest correlation was observed between total SPWB and depression (r
=-0.52 to 0.65).

Environmental mastery decreased the likelihood of pain-related and intra-articular TMD symptoms. Conversely, overall PD and anxiety predicted the presence of pain-related and intra-articular/combined TMD symptoms correspondingly.

To combat the opioid epidemic, prescribers need accurate information about pediatric home opioid requirements to manage acute pain after surgery. Current opioid use estimates come from retrospective surveys; this study used medication adherence technology (eCAP) to track home opioid use.

To describe children's pain treatment at home after laparoscopic appendectomy, and to compare self-reported opioid analgesic use to eCAP data and counts of returned pills.

Prospective exploratory and descriptive study METHODS A convenience sample of 96 patients, 10-17 years of age, from a single urban nonprofit children's hospital consented to self-report pain treatment in 14-day diaries and use eCAP to monitor prescribed opioid use at home after laparoscopic appendectomy.

Patients were prescribed 5-45 opioid-containing pills (mean ± standard deviation 15 ± 7.2). Of 749 opioid-containing pills prescribed to 49 patients who returned data, 689 pills were dispensed, 167.5 were used for the reason prescribed, 488 were returned to families for disposal, and 53.5 were missing. The majority of the 49 patients were opioid naïve (72%), Caucasian (64%), and male (56%), with a mean age of 14 years. Patients used 6.6 ± 6.3 opioid-containing pills by pill count and 5.6 ± 5.1 by self-report, a significant difference (p=.004). Unreported eCAP-enabled pill bottle openings typically occurred on weekends.

Medication adherence technology (eCAP) is a more rigorous method than self-report to estimate opioid needs and detect early opioid misuse. Additional rigorously designed studies of postoperative opioid use are needed to guide opioid prescribing.

Recent studies suggest that eating habits are an area particularly affected by the lockdown imposed by many countries to curb the COVID-19 epidemic. selleck Individuals that received bariatric surgery may represent a particularly susceptible population to the adverse effects of lockdown for its potential impact on eating, psychological, and weight loss outcomes.

This study seeks to investigate the incremental impact of COVID-19 lockdown on treatment outcomes of postbariatric patients in the risk period for weight regain.

Main hospital center.

This work uses data from an ongoing longitudinal study of bariatric patients assessed before surgery (T
), 1.5 years after sugery (T
), and 3 years after surgery (T
). Two independent groups were compared the COVID-19_Group (n = 35) where T
and T
assessments were conducted before the pandemic started and T
assessment was conducted at the end of the mandatory COVID-19 lockdown; and the NonCOVID-19_Group (n = 66), covering patients who completed T
, T
, and T
assessments before the epidemic began.
