“…Similarly, allergy to endive -a close relative to chicory -has been rarely described, and the endive allergens remain to be elucidated (Helbling et al, 1997). Artichoke is yet another member of the Asteraceae family with which an allergy is associated yet quite rarely described and for which the allergens are unknown (Gadban et al, 2003).…”

“…Proposed etiologies of acute macroglossia include trauma and medication side effects, including the use of ACE inhibitors, allergic reactions, pressure packing of the oropharynx, oral surgery, and neurogenic causes. [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] The initial, acute onset of macroglossia is hypothesized to be a form of compartment syndrome in the tongue. 11 Compression or obstruction of the lingual arteries, veins, and lymphatic system leads to tongue edema.…”

Purpose The primary purpose of this study is to identify if there is an underlying genetic predisposition for COVID-related macroglossia and if this susceptibility is higher among individuals of African heritage. Secondary objectives include determining if genetic testing of COVID-infected patients who are intubated and prone could identify patients with higher susceptibility to the development of macroglossia. Methods A retrospective chart review was completed for each patient, and prospectively, genetic and histopathologic analyses were completed. Whole-exome sequencing was completed on two patients; immunohistochemistry was completed on the COVID-positive tissue samples. Results Histopathology of the COVID-positive patient revealed significant peri-lymphocytic infiltrate, which was absent in the COVID-negative patient. Immunohistochemistry confirmed the presence of immune cells. Results from the whole-exome sequencing were inconclusive. Conclusion The findings of this study are consistent with others that have observed a lymphocytic infiltrate in the organs of patients infected with SARS-CoV-2. On histology, IHC highlighted a CD45 + predominance, indicating that a robust immune response is present in the tissues. The pathobiology of this phenomenon and its role in the development and/or persistence of massive macroglossia requires further study.

Artículo de revisión Importancia de la deglución atípica en las maloclusiones Importance of the swallowing atypical in them malocclusionsResumen La presente revisión tiene como objetivo determinar la deglución atípica en las maloclusiones. Cuando existen movimientos inadecuados de la lengua y/o de otras estructuras durante la fase bucal y faríngola-ríngea de la deglución, hablamos de deglución atípica, como un hábito no fisiológico. Sus objetivos pueden ser múltiples, actuando solos o simultáneamente de forma acumulativa. El tamaño de una lengua grande se ha encontrado como impedimento para corregir tales alternaciones, sin ser ésta una causa de originar la maloclusiones. Se destaca la importancia que tiene la aplicación de las terapias miofuncionales para la prevención y rehabilitación de los tejidos blandos, ya que éstos pueden causar maloclusiones y falta de desarrollo facial, afectando la estética del paciente. Palabras clave: maloclusiones, deglución, atípica, macroglosia, terapia miofuncional AbstractThis review aims to determine the atypical swallowing malocclusions. When there are inadequate movements of the tongue and / or other structures during oral and pharyngolaryngeal phase of swallowing, talking about atypical swallowing, as a non-physiological habit. Its objectives may be multiple, simultaneously acting alone or cumulatively. The size of a large tongue has been found as an impediment to correct such alternations, though this is a cause of causing malocclusion. the importance of the application of myofunctional therapies for prevention and rehabilitation of soft tissue, as these can cause malocclusions and lack of facial development, affecting the aesthetics of the patient stands. Keywords: malocclusions, atypical, swallowing, macroglossia, myofunctional therapy IntroducciónLa oclusión normal es estable, sana y estéticamente atractiva. Se puede definir como 28 dientes correctamente ordenados en el arco y en armonía con todas las fuerzas estáticas y dinámicas que sobre ellos actúan. Los dientes presentan un resalte de 2,5 mm y una sobremordida adecuada de 1 a 2 mm de superposición vertical de los incisivos. En las mordidas abiertas esto no ocurre y se observa una separación entre los incisivos superiores e inferiores con una sobremordida negativa, mientras que los dientes posteriores se encuentran en oclusión céntrica.La etiología de una mordida abierta esquelética es multifactorial y puede deberse a una combinación de efectos del tejido blando, dental u óseo. 1La mordida abierta puede provenir de diversas causas siendo una de ellas la deglución atípica.Cuando la deglución no sigue los patrones normales y equilibrados, hablamos de deglución atípica o disfuncional. Ésta, llamada también interposición lingual, se produce si persiste el patrón de deglución infantil o visceral luego de la erupción de los dientes anteriores, es decir, que corresponde a movimientos inadecuados de la lengua y/o de otras estructuras durante la fase bucal y faríngolaríngea de la deglución, caracterizándose como una de las ...
