“…This may be explained by the fact that clinical findings in affected TMJs are correlated with the presence of already established structural damage 22 . Therefore, imaging tests are essential to detect early involvement of the TMJ in JIA 23 …”

“…As there are no highly accurate laboratory tests to predict TMJ involvement in JIA, clinical investigation using instruments that allow a standardized clinical examination 16,26 and imaging studies are imperative, especially since many patients develop asymptomatic TMJ disease 13,20 . Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is considered the gold standard for diagnosing temporomandibular joint arthritis 5,23,27 . TMJ MRI has been recommended as a screening tool for newly diagnosed JIA patients due to the high incidence of active arthritis in the joint and the lack of specific criteria for clinical diagnosis of the disease 28 .…”

“…This can imply aesthetic and functional damage, as well as may demanding invasive corrective treatments, such as surgical corrections of mandibular advancement or even replacement of the TMJ with prostheses, compromising the quality of life of patients 30 . Studies have shown that the use of functional orthopedic appliances can reduce signs and symptoms in the TMJ of JIA patients, such as pain, crepitus and limitation of maximum mouth opening 34 and can reduce facial asymmetries 23,35 …”

“…22 Therefore, imaging tests are essential to detect early involvement of the TMJ in JIA. 23 TMJ involvement, as well as the severity of resorption, has been associated with an earlier age of onset of systemic disease. 19 Recently, authors reported that TMJ deformities in JIA patients had a cumulative incidence of 35% at the thirty-sixth month of follow-up and were observed in all JIA categories.…”

Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is a broad term that describes a group of heterogeneous rheumatologic diseases, mainly characterized by inflammation in the joints of children and young people up to 16 years of age. Its etiology is still not well understood and the diagnosis, essentially clinical, begins with the exclusion of other joint diseases. When the disease affects the temporomandibular joint, diagnosis is a challenge, as many patients are asymptomatic. The objective of this paper is to present a case of JIA with severe involvement of the temporomandibular joint and to discuss the clinical, radiographic, laboratory findings and the importance of early diagnosis. The lack of diagnosis of active arthritis in the temporomandibular joint in patients with JIA can cause irreversible effects such as micrognathia, malocclusion and reduced maximum mouth opening. Early diagnosis of temporomandibular joint involvement in JIA is important and needs to be investigated early in the clinical manifestation of systemic disease. Laboratory tests and clinical history are important to define treatment and prognosis, but not to predict temporomandibular joint arthritis. Imaging exams are important diagnostic tools to identify morphological changes in soft and hard tissues of the temporomandibular joint.

“…Arthritis is the most common chronic inflammatory disease; it is characterized by structural and biochemical changes in major joint tissues, including cartilage matrix degradation and insufficient extracellular matrix synthesis (ECM), resulting in pain, stiffness, and joint failure [203,204]. Arthritis consists of several types, such as juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) [205], psoriatic arthritis [206], gouty arthritis [207], rheumatoid arthritis (the most common form) [208], and osteoarthritis (OA) [209]. Previous studies on the potential of seaweed compounds for arthritis treatment are reported in Table 7.…”

Seaweed Exhibits Therapeutic Properties against Chronic Diseases: An Overview

2022

Seaweeds or marine macroalgae are known for producing potentially bioactive substances that exhibit a wide range of nutritional, therapeutic, and nutraceutical properties. These compounds can be applied to treat chronic diseases, such as cancer, cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, neurodegenerative diseases, and diabetes mellitus. Several studies have shown that consumption of seaweeds in Asian countries, such as Japan and Korea, has been correlated with a lower incidence of chronic diseases. In this study, we conducted a review of published papers on seaweed consumption and chronic diseases. We used the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) method for this study. We identified and screened research articles published between 2000 and 2021. We used PubMed and ScienceDirect databases and identified 107 articles. This systematic review discusses the potential use of bioactive compounds of seaweed to treat chronic diseases and identifies gaps where further research in this field is needed. In this review, the therapeutic and nutraceutical properties of seaweed for the treatment of chronic diseases such as neurodegenerative diseases, obesity, diabetes, cancer, liver disease, cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, and arthritis were discussed. We concluded that further study on the identification of bioactive compounds of seaweed, and further study at a clinical level, are needed.
