Pentameric ligand-gated ion channels (pLGICs) mediate fast neurotransmission in the nervous system. Their dysfunction is associated with psychiatric, neurological and neurodegenerative disorders such as schizophrenia, epilepsy and Alzheimer's disease. Understanding their biophysical and pharmacological properties, both at the functional and structu...

Background. Patients with chronic orofacial pain due to temporomandibular disorders (TMD) display alterations in somatosensory processing at the jaw, such as amplified perception of tactile stimuli, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. This study investigated one possible explanation, namely hypervigilance, and tested if TMD patients with ...

The results of this study show that patients who are going to have a correction of their malocclusion by orthodontics and orthognathic surgery have a significant incidence of TMDs when compared to a control population, but that after treatment, the incidence of TMDs does not differ from a control population. The reasons for these findings are not c...

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical approach for intra-articular TMJ diseases. Office-based arthroscopy using the smallest TMJ scope allows for good visualization, as well as the ability to lavage the joint in an office setting. This study aimed to assess the efficacy of an office-based TMJ arthroscopic techni...
To reduce the vibrations seen by a product, three main families of solutions (physics) exist: to realize a decoupling (decoupling pads), to thermally dissipate energy (viscous damping) or to mechanically capture energy (Tuned mass dampers; Non-linear energy sinks).We will briefly present these different possibilities, their drawbacks and advantages...
