Abstract

Background/Objective: Although there are many reports on the association between cognitive and physical functions in older adults, little information is available on those aged ≥75 years. Therefore, this study aimed to determine whether mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in older adults over 75 years who live in independent senior housing is associated with physical function. Methods: In this study, 271 participants (174 women and 97 men) with a mean age of 85.4 ± 4.7 years were included. Cognitive function was assessed using the Japanese version of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment; a score < 26 confirmed MCI. MCI was an objective variable in univariate and multivariable logistic regression analyses. Physical function was measured using hand grip strength, normal and maximum gait speeds, and the 30 s chair stand test. Physical function was an explanatory variable adjusted for age and divided into tertiles (high, middle, and low) based on sex. The significance level was set at 5%. Results: There were 170 participants (63%) with MCI. Compared to the non-MCI group, the MCI group had significantly higher age and significantly lower normal and maximum gait speeds and 30 s chair stand test values Age-adjusted univariate analyses in women showed higher MCI rates in the low-fitness group than in the high-fitness group for maximum gait speed and 30 s chair stand test values. No variables were associated with MCI in men. Conclusions: MCI may be associated with physical function in women and older adults over 75 years who live in independent senior housing.

Abstract

Background/Objectives: The cause of ulcerative colitis (UC) may be related to commensal bacteria in genetically susceptible patients. We previously demonstrated that triple antibiotic combination therapy induces remission in patients with active UC in randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Now, we investigate changes in the gut microbiota of patients who responded to the antibiotic combination therapy. Methods: Thirty-one patients with UC given ATM/AFM (amoxicillin, metronidazole, and tetracycline or fosfomycin) therapy for two weeks were enrolled in this study. The clinical conditions of these UC patients were evaluated by the partial Mayo score. The gut microbiota was compared via the metagenomic shot gun analysis of fecal samples. Results: Of the 31 patients, 16 and 8 experienced complete and partial remission, respectively, over three months in response to ATM/AFM therapy, whereas ATM/AFM showed no efficacy in 7 patients. The dysbiosis before treatment in the active stage could be associated with increased populations of Bacteroides, Parabacteroides, Rickenella, Clostridium, Flavonifractor, Pelagibacter, Bordetella, Massilia, and Piscrickettsia species. Metagenomic analysis revealed dramatic changes in the gut microbiota at an early stage, that is, just two weeks after starting ATM/AFM therapy. After treatment in the responder group, the populations of bifidobacterium and lactobacilli species were significantly increased, while the population of bacteroides decreased. Conclusions: These results suggest that metagenomic analysis demonstrated a marked change in the gut microbiota after antibiotic combination treatment. In the triple antibiotic combination therapy, remission was associated with an increase in bifidobacterium and lactobacilli species. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

32. Single-Splint, 2-Jaw Orthognathic Surgery for Correction of Facial Asymmetry: 3-Dimensional Planning and Surgical Execution

Author

Abstract

Three-dimensional (3D) planning of orthognathic surgery (OGS) improves the treatment of facial asymmetry and malocclusion, but no consensus exists among clinicians regarding technical details. This study verified the consistency of authors’ workflow and strategies between 3D planning and surgical execution for facial asymmetry. This retrospective study recruited consecutive patients (n=54) with nonsyndromic facial asymmetry associated with malocclusion. The stepwise workflow included orthodontic treatment, 3D imaging-based evaluation, planning, and transferring the virtual of single-splint 2-jaw OGS to actual surgery in all patients. Seven landmark-based measurements were selected for postoperative assessment of facial symmetry. Fifty patients had no anesthetic/surgical-related episode and procedure-related complications. Others experienced wound infection (n=1), transient TMJ discomfort (n=1), and facial numbness (n=3). Two cases had minor residual asymmetry (cheek and chin, respectively), but did not request revisionary bone or soft tissue surgery. Comparisons between the planned and postoperative 3D images with quantitative measurement revealed acceptable outcome data. The results showed a significant increase in facial symmetry at 7 landmark-based postoperative measurements for both male and female. This 3D-assisted pathway of OGS permitted achievement of consistent satisfactory results in managing facial asymmetry, with low rate of complications and secondary management.

Abstract

Objective: An inspiring early result with no oronasal fistula formation was recently described for a modified medial incision small double-opposing Z-plasty (MIsDOZ) for treating Veau type I cleft palate. This study describes an early single-surgeon experience in applying this newly proposed surgical approach. Design: Retrospective single-surgeon study. Patients: Consecutive nonsyndromic patients (n = 27) with Veau I cleft palate. Interventions: Topographic anatomical-guided MIsDOZ palatoplasty with pyramidal space dissection (releasing of the ligamentous fibers in the greater palatine neurovascular bundle and pyramidal process region, in-fracture of the pterygoid hamulus, and widening of space of Ernst) performed by a novice surgeon (RD). Mean Outcome Measures: Age at surgery, the presence of cleft lip, palatal cleft width, use of lateral relaxing incision, and 6-month complication rate (bleeding, dehiscence, fistula, and flap necrosis). A published senior surgeon-based outcome dataset (n = 24) was retrieved for comparison purposes. Results: Twenty-two (81.5%) and 5 (18.5%) patients received the medial incision only technique and lateral incision technique, respectively (P =.002). Age, presence of cleft lip, and cleft width were not associated (all P >.05) with the use of lateral incision. Comparative analysis between the novice surgeon- and senior surgeon-based datasets revealed no significant differences for sex (females: 74.1% vs 62.5%; P =.546), age (10.2 ± 1.7 vs 9.6 ± 1.2 months; P =.143), rate of lateral incision (18.5% vs 4.2%; P =.195), and postoperative complication rate (0% vs 0%). Conclusion: This modified DOZ palatoplasty proved to be a reproducible procedure for Veau I cleft palate closure, with reduced need for lateral incision and with no early complication.
