“…Out of 106 mandible fracture cases, 56 (52.8%) were parasymphysis, followed by 12 cases of body (11.3%), and 11 cases of symphysis (10.4%). Malhotra et al, 13 in their study found that parasymphysis (34.6%) was the part of the mandible most frequently injured.…”

Background: Mandibular fractures lead to complications if improperly treated. The management of mandibular fractures includes open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) or closed reduction. Associated complications include malocclusion, infection, hardware extrusion, and nerve injury. Aims and Objectives: The aims of this study were to evaluate the functional outcome of various treatment modalities of mandibular fracture and to identify the factors affecting the outcome. Materials and Methods:The study included patients admitted in the trauma care center, between 13 and 70 years of age, and having mandibular fracture. Patients underwent ORIF or closed reduction according to the type of fracture. Mandibular injury severity score (MISS), Mandibular functional impairment questionnaire (MFIQ) score, and pain visual analog score were used to assess the functional outcome of treatment and complications. Results: Majority of the patients were male and were in the age group 21–30 years. The most common cause of fracture was road traffic accident (RTA). Majority of the patients underwent ORIF. Patients having higher injury severity scores, severe MFIQ scores and pain visual analog scores had more complications. Overall, complications in open reduction cases were higher than closed reduction ones. However, weight loss and time to functional improvement were more in closed reduction cases. Conclusion:Young males are most commonly affected with fracture of mandibles and mostly due to RTAs. There should be minimal delay from presentation to operative intervention in case of patients who require ORIF. Scoring systems such as MISS, MFIQ, and pain visual analog scale scores may help in the early prognostication of injury and warn against imminent complications.

“…7,8 Da Silva et al found a prevalence of 30% of obesity in Brazilian female shift-workers. 9 Another study revealed that there was a 12% increased risk of obesity in female night work nurses compared with nurses working other shifts, and the possible explanations for this finding are sleep deprivation, inadequate eating habits, and lower light exposure. 10 European studies have shown that longer exposure to shift work was associated with obesity, dyslipidaemia, hyperglycaemia, and hypertension.…”

Objectives To verify the relationships between sleep duration (Total Sleep Time – TST) and postural control of female night workers before and after shift. As well as, to verify if there is an influence of the body mass index (BMI) on the postural control of these female workers before and after shift. Methods A total of 14 female night workers (mean age: 35.0 ± 7.7 years) were evaluated. An actigraph was placed on the wrist to evaluate the sleep-wake cycle. The body mass and height were measured, and BMI was calculated. Postural control was evaluated by means of a force platform, with eyes opened and eyes closed before and after the 12-hour workday. Results There was an effect of the BMI on the velocity and the center of pressure path with eyes opened before (t = 2.55, p = 0.02) and after (t = 4.10, p < 0.01) night work. The BMI impaired the velocity and the center of pressure path with eyes closed before (t = 3.05, p = 0.01; t = 3.04, p = 0.01) and after (t = 2.95, p = 0.01; t = 2.94, p = 0.01) night work. Furthermore, high BMI is associated with female workers' postural sway (p < 0.05). Conclusion Therefore, high BMI impairs the postural control of female night workers, indicating postural instability before and after night work.
