Neurocysticercosis is recognized as an important health issue in the Malagasy population. To date, investigations into prevalence of infection with the causative agent, Taenia solium , in the parasite's natural animal intermediate hosts, have relied on serological methods which have been found to be non-specific. We determined the prevalence of porcine cysticercosis among pigs from a contiguous area of the Betafo and Mandoto administrative districts, Vakinankaratra Region, Madagascar. One hundred and four slaughter-weight pigs were examined by detailed necropsy examination including slicing of the heart, tongue, masseter muscles, diaphragm and carcase musculature. Thirty-seven animals (35.6%) were found infected with T. solium , representing one of the highest rates of infection ever reported, worldwide. These findings highlight the importance of T. solium in Madagascar and support the need for increased efforts to prevent the parasite's transmission to reduce its burden on the health of the Malagasy population.

A researcher from Peking Union Medical College Hospital in Beijing, China has published a new study on facial paralysis. Facial paralysis can result from congenital or acquired facial nerve damage, leading to cosmetic and functional deficits. The study focuses on dynamic repair techniques involving nerve and muscle transplantation to restore movement and function in late-stage facial paralysis. Different surgical methods are discussed, each with its own strengths and limitations. Dual nerve innervation shows promise for restoring spontaneous smiles, and one-stage surgery offers faster recovery and reduced financial burden. The study concludes that dynamic repair techniques provide effective solutions for restoring function and aesthetics in late-stage facial paralysis, and future research should focus on long-term outcomes and patient satisfaction.

A recent report from the Fourth Military Medical University in Xi'an, China, discusses new findings on anxiety disorders. The study focuses on the role of the locus coeruleus, a region in the brain stem, in masseter muscle overactivity induced by chronic restraint stress in mice. The researchers found that chronic stress led to anxiety-like behavior, overactivity of the masseter muscle, and activation of locus coeruleus neurons. Inhibition of noradrenergic neuron activity within the locus coeruleus alleviated stress-induced anxiety behavior and masseter muscle overactivity. This research provides insights into the central regulatory mechanisms of stress-induced anxiety and muscle pain. [Extracted from the article]

Teeth grinding, or bruxism, is a common habit that many people do without realizing it. It can cause symptoms such as headaches, tooth sensitivity, and neck pain. Bruxism can occur during sleep, making it difficult to know if you are doing it. Stress, lifestyle changes, and sleep disorders like snoring and sleep apnea can contribute to bruxism. Over time, grinding and clenching can wear down tooth enamel and cause other dental problems. Treatment options include wearing a nightguard or occlusal splint, getting Botox injections, and addressing underlying causes such as stress. It is estimated that between 8 and 31 percent of Australians have bruxism, but it may be more common than that. Regular dental check-ups can help identify symptoms of bruxism.
