The mylohyoid nerve needs to be blocked during local anaesthesia of the mandibular (lower) teeth to prevent pain during oral procedures. [ 5 ] [ 6 ] It may not be anaesthetised during a block of the inferior alveolar nerve , causing pain.
Mylohyoid: by its own nerve, a branch of the inferior alveolar (from the mandibular division of trigeminal nerve), which arises just before the parent nerve enters the mandibular foramen, pierces the sphenomandibular ligament, and runs forward on the inferior surface of the mylohyoid, supplying it and the anterior belly of the digastric.
The risk of nerve injury in relation to mandibular dental implants is not known but it is a recognised risk requiring the patient to be warned. [10] If an injury occurs urgent treatment is required. The risk nerve injury in relation deep dental injections has a risk of injury in approximately 1:14,000 with 25% of these remaining persistent.
Accessory mylohyoid muscles have been seen in some people, which have the same attachments, nerve supply, and function. [6] The mylohyoid muscle may also be split into an anterior portion and a posterior portion, with the sublingual gland occupying the space between these portions. [7] An area of herniation of the sublingual gland, blood ...
Eagle syndrome (also termed stylohyoid syndrome, [1] styloid syndrome, [2] stylalgia, [3] styloid-stylohyoid syndrome, [2] or styloid–carotid artery syndrome) [4] is an uncommon condition commonly characterized but not limited to sudden, sharp nerve-like pain in the jaw bone and joint, back of the throat, and base of the tongue, triggered by swallowing, moving the jaw, or turning the neck.

Existing treatments aim to suppress the immune system to prevent further damage to nerve cells. A new study has developed a treatment that can help regenerate myelin with the potential to stop and ...
Neurogenic shock may be caused by severe brain injury. [6] However, in case of increased intracranial pressure , according to the Cushing triad , blood pressure will be increased (unless decreased from hypovolemia ), respirations will be irregular and bradycardia will also be a feature.

The VA has acknowledged its shortage of mental health therapists, and has hired 1,600 additional therapists in the past two years, but long waiting lists ...
