Publication date: July 2014 Source:Journal of Medical Hypotheses and Ideas, Volume 8, Issue 2 Author(s): Frederik Jozef Alfons Ivan Vernimmen Cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) occur universally in 1.1 per 100,000 people. These malformations are the cause of serious neurological morbidity or even death when they bleed. AVMs are not necessarily static congenital abnormalities. They can undergo internal changes due to angiogenesis resulting in vascular remodelling. They can even regrow after successful therapy. Vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGFs) play an important role in angiogenesis. Drugs that block ...

Transdermal bFGF delivery using low-frequency sonophoresis: an innovative potential therapy for osteoradionecrosis of jaws
Publication date: Available online 6 October 2014 Source:Journal of Medical Hypotheses and Ideas Author(s): Zhihui Zhou , Weiwei Fan , Miaojie Lang , Yanliang Wang Osteoradionecrosis of jaws (ORNJ) is a serious complication of radiotherapy for patients with head and neck cancer. As of yet, no universally accepted treatment exists for this chronic pathologic condition. It has been shown that ultrasound is an effective, non-invasive adjunctive therapy in ORNJ, as ultrasound can result in the increase of angiogenesis and bone production, which are essential for ORNJ healing. Recently, low-frequency ultrasound has been...

Injection of botulinum toxin A in lateral pterygoid muscle as a novel method for prevention of traumatic temporomandibular joint ankylosis
Publication date: March 2015 Source:Journal of Medical Hypotheses and Ideas, Volume 9, Issue 1 Author(s): Jiewen Dai , Hongbo Yu , Min Zhu , Steve Guofang Shen Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) ankylosis can restrict the mandibular movement, followed by resulting in numerous problems. To understand the mechanism of TMJ ankylosis (TMJA) and prevent the generation of TMJA is urgent necessary. Although many factors contribute to it, trauma is the most common cause of TMJA. The mechanisms of TMJA are still unclear, and the distraction osteogenesis of the lateral pterygoid muscle (LPM) may play an important role. Injection ...
