  • Temporo-Mandibular Joint (Tmj) Dysfunction
    Office: (310) 423-1220 BeverlyHillsENT.com Fax: (310) 423-1230 TEMPORO-MANDIBULAR JOINT (TMJ) DYSFUNCTION You may not have heard of it, but you use it hundreds of times every day. It is the Temporo- Mandibular Joint (TMJ), the joint where the mandible (the lower jaw) joins the temporal bone of the skull, immediately in front of the ear on each side of your head. You move the joint every time you chew or swallow. You can locate this joint by putting your finger on the triangular structure in front of your ear. Then move your finger just slightly forward and press firmly while you open your jaw all the way and shut it. The motion you feel is the TMJ. You can also feel the joint motion in your ear canal. These maneuvers can cause considerable discomfort to a patient who is having TMJ trouble, and physicians use these maneuvers with patients for diagnosis. TMJ Dysfunction can cause the following symptoms: Ear pain Sore jaw muscles Temple/cheek pain Jaw popping/clicking Locking of the jaw Difficulty in opening the mouth fully Frequent head/neck aches The pain may be sharp and searing, occurring each time you swallow, yawn, talk, or chew, or it may be dull and constant. It hurts over the joint, immediately in front of the ear, but pain can also radiate elsewhere. It often causes spasms in the adjacent muscles that are attached to the bones of the skull, face, and jaws. Then, pain can be felt at the side of the head (the temple), the cheek, the lower jaw, and the teeth.

  • Implications to Occipital Headache
    The Journal of Neuroscience, March 6, 2019 • 39(10):1867–1880 • 1867 Neurobiology of Disease Non-Trigeminal Nociceptive Innervation of the Posterior Dura: Implications to Occipital Headache X Rodrigo Noseda, Agustin Melo-Carrillo, Rony-Reuven Nir, Andrew M. Strassman, and XRami Burstein Department of Anesthesia, Critical Care and Pain Medicine, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts 02115 Current understanding of the origin of occipital headache falls short of distinguishing between cause and effect. Most preclinical studies involving trigeminovascular neurons sample neurons that are responsive to stimulation of dural areas in the anterior 2/3 of the cranium and the periorbital skin. Hypothesizing that occipital headache may involve activation of meningeal nociceptors that innervate the posterior 1⁄3 of the dura, we sought to map the origin and course of meningeal nociceptors that innervate the posterior dura overlying the cerebellum. Using AAV-GFP tracing and single-unit recording techniques in male rats, we found that neurons in C2–C3 DRGs innervate the dura of the posterior fossa; that nearly half originate in DRG neurons containing CGRP and TRPV1; that nerve bundles traverse suboccipital muscles before entering the cranium through bony canals and large foramens; that central neurons receiving nociceptive information from the posterior dura are located in C2–C4 spinal cord and that their cutaneous and muscle receptive fields are found around the ears, occipital skin and neck muscles; and that administration of inflammatory mediators to their dural receptive field, sensitize their responses to stimulation of the posterior dura, peri-occipital skin and neck muscles. These findings lend rationale for the common practice of attempting to alleviate migraine headaches by targeting the greater and lesser occipital nerves with anesthetics.

  • Human Sacrifice and Mortuary Treatments in the Great Temple of Tenochtitlán
    FAMSI © 2007: Ximena Chávez Balderas Human Sacrifice and Mortuary Treatments in the Great Temple of Tenochtitlán Research Year: 2005 Culture: Mexica Chronology: Postclassic Location: México City, México Site: Tenochtitlán Table of Contents Introduction The bone collection in study Human sacrifice and mortuary treatments Methodology Osteobiography Tafonomic analysis Sacrifice by heart extraction Decapitation: Trophy skulls, Tzompantli skulls and elaboration of skull masks Skull masks Population analysis based upon DNA extraction Preliminary results Final considerations List of Figures Sources Cited Introduction The present report describes the study undertaken with the osteologic collection obtained from the Great Temple excavations in Tenochtitlán; this collection was assembled in the interval from 1978 to 2005. The financial support granted to us by FAMSI enabled the creation of four lines of research: 1) packing and preventive conservation; 2) osteobiography; 3) mortuary treatments; and 4) population genetics. Immediately, a detailed exposition of the work and its results up to the present moment will be given. Submitted 11/16/2006 by: Ximena Chávez Balderas [email protected] Figure 1. General view of the archaeological zone of the Great Temple in México City. 2 The bone collection in study For the present study the human remains found in 19 offerings in the Great Temple of Tenochtitlán were analyzed. This place symbolizes the axis mundi for the Mexicas. The deposits were temporarily situated in the period comprehended between 1440 and 1502 A.D., which corresponds mostly to stage IVb (1469-1481 A.D.). The total number of bodies studied was 1071. From these, seventy-four were recovered in the context of offerings and correspond to skull masks, decapitated skulls, tzompantli skulls, isolated remains and a primary context.

This phenomenon, influenced by complex religious beliefs, included several practices such as decapitation, cranial deformation, and the use of human cranial bones for skull mask manufacturing. Archaeological evidence suggests that all of these practices required specialized knowledge of skull base and upper cervical anatomy. The authors con- ducted a systematic search for information on skull base anatomical and surgical knowledge among Mesoamerican civilizations. A detailed exposition of these results is presented, along with some interesting information extracted from historical documents and pictorial codices to provide a better understanding of skull base surgical practices among these cultures. Paleoforensic evidence from the Great Temple of Tenochtitlan indicates that Aztec priests used a specialized decapitation technique, based on a deep anatomical knowledge.

  • Where Is the Temporo-Mandibular Joint?
    TMJ Insight into causes and treatments • How does the Temporo-Mandibular Joint work? • What causes TMJ pain? • How is TMJ pain treated? Open your jaw all the way and shut it. This simple movement would not be possible without the Temporo-Mandibular Joint (TMJ). It connects the temporal bone (the bone that forms the side of the skull) and the mandible (the lower jaw). Even though it is only a small disc of cartilage, it separates the bones so that the mandible may slide easily whenever you talk, swallow, chew, kiss, etc. Therefore, damage to this complex, triangular structure in front of your ear, can cause considerable discomfort. Where is the Temporo-Mandibular Joint? You can locate this joint by putting your finger on the triangular structure in front of your ear. Then move your finger just slightly forward and press firmly while you open your jaw all the way and close it. You can also feel the joint motion in your ear canal. How does the TMJ work? When you bite down hard, you put force on the object between your teeth and on the joint. In terms of physics, the jaw is the lever and the TMJ is the fulcrum. Actually, more force is applied (per square foot) to the joint surface than to whatever is between your teeth because the cartilage between the bones provides a smooth surface, over which the joint can freely slide with minimal friction. Therefore, the forces of chewing can be distributed over a wider surface in the joint space and minimize the risk of injury.

  • TMJ (Temporo-Mandibular Joint) Syndrome
    TMJ (Temporo-Mandibular Joint) Syndrome What is the TMJ? You may not have heard of it, but you use it hundreds of times every day. It is the Temporo- Mandibular Joint (TMJ), the joint where the mandible (the lower jaw) joins the temporal bone of the skull, immediately in front of the ear on each side of the head. Each time you chew you move it. But you also move it every time you talk and every time you swallow (every 3 minutes or so). It is, therefore, one of the most frequently used of all the joints of the body. You can locate that joint by putting your finger on the triangular structure in front of your ear. Then move your finger just slightly forward and press firmly while you open your jaw all the way and shut it. The motion you feel is the TMJ. You can also feel the joint motion in your ear canal. These maneuvers can cause considerable discomfort to a patient who is having TMJ trouble, and doctors use these maneuvers with patients for diagnosis. How does the TMJ work? When you bite down hard, you put force on the object between your teeth and on the joint. In terms of physics, the jaw is the lever and the TMJ is the fulcrum. Actually, more force is applied (per square inch) to the joint surface than to whatever is between your teeth. To accommodate such forces and to prevent too much wear and tear, the joint was designed to be a sliding joint, rather than the usual ball-and-socket type joint (such as the hip and shoulder, for example).

  • TMJ INFORMATION the Jaw Meets the Upper Skull in Front of the Ear At
    TMJ INFORMATION The jaw meets the upper skull in front of the ear at a joint. This joint that connects them is called the Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ). A small disc of cartilage separates the bones, much like in the knee joint, so that the mandible may slide easily; each time you chew you move it. But you also move it every time you talk and each time you swallow. It is one of the most frequently used joints of the body and one of the most complex. Like any joint (hip, shoulder, wrist) the TMJ can be strained or injured. When the joint becomes injured we call it TMD (Temporomandibular Disorder). Injury can be the result of a specific trauma to the jaw area or can result from prolonged micro- trauma from oral habits. Once a joint is strained, it can be easily re-injured. How Does TMD Feel? You may experience ear pain, sore jaw muscles, temple/cheek pain, jaw popping/clicking, locking of the jaw, difficulty in opening the mouth fully, and frequent head/neck aches. What Can Be Done for TMD? 1. Apply moist heat for 20 minutes two to four times each day to the painful area. Alternate with ice for 10 minutes two to four times each day. Heat and/or ice can reduce joint or muscle inflammation and relax the muscles. 2. Eat a softer diet. Avoid hard and chewy foods such as bagels or steak. Cut food into small pieces. Chew with your back teeth rather than biting with your front teeth and chew on both sides at the same time to reduce strain on one side.
