“…8 This may arise from neurotmesis or neuropraxia of the nerve in its canal caused by the trauma or wrongful placement of fixation materials. 13 Jeter et al 14 reported cases of facial nerve damage following fractured condyle and ramus from blunt objects. This nerve damage may lead to prolonged sensory disturbances that in some cases might develop into post-traumatic neuralgia.…”

over a 4-year period. The focus was on the complications developed during and after the treatments Results: Of the 174 patients, 36 (20.7%) developed various forms of complications. Amongst the 36 patients, there were 53 different complications. The commonest complication recorded was infection 14 (26.4%) while the least was facial asymmetry and nonunion. According to the duration of onset, more complications were recorded under the intermediate than immediate and late categories. Complications were more common in the third decade of life, but least in the 7 th decade. There were 29 (80.6%) males and 7(19.4%) females with a male to female ratio of 4.1:1. Conclusion: Socioeconomic problems, treatments by quacks and wrong management of patients have been responsible for the occurrence of complications following mandibular fracture. However, the trend of occurrence of complications of mandibular fracture needs comparative analysis with a similar study carried out in the same environment to make a significant conclusion. This result of this study is therefore a baseline report on, which future studies are expected to use as reference point to determine the trends of occurrence in our environment.

“…However, ECs are activated by angiogenic cues from outside the vessel. Pro-angiogenic BMPs were proposed to act as soluble gradients and/or bound to the extracellular matrix (ECM) (29). Recently, we demonstrated that soluble gradients of BMP-2 and BMP-6 are su cient to induce chemotaxis of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) in-vitro (30).…”

Blood vessel formation relies on biochemical and mechanical signals, particularly in sprouting angiogenesis where endothelial tip cells (TCs) guide sprouting through filopodia formation. The role of BMP receptors in defining endothelial tip-cell characteristics remains unclear. Our study elucidates the pivotal role of BMPR2 in actin-driven filopodia formation and mechanical properties of endothelial cells (ECs). Targeting bmpr2b in zebrafish impairs sprouting angiogenesis, while BMPR2-deficient human ECs diminished filopodia, impacting cell migration and actomyosin localization. Spheroid assays reveal reduced sprouting in fibrin gels, and in mosaic spheroids, BMPR2-deficient ECs fail to acquire tip-cell positions. Surprisingly, 3D traction force microscopy shows no significant differences in force-induced matrix deformations from BMPR2-deficient tip cells, which instead adopt a distinct cone-shaped morphology. BMPR2 localizes near filopodia interacting with BORG5 to regulate CDC42. Our findings unveil BMPR2 as a central hub integrating biochemical and biomechanical processes crucial for endothelial tip cells during angiogenesis.
