Multidisciplinary management of oculo-auriculo-vertebral spectrum
1Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, University of California Davis, Sacramento, California, USA.
Summary
The oculo-auriculo-vertebral spectrum (OAVS) presents diverse phenotypes. Management requires recognizing genetic variations and employing a multidisciplinary team for optimal diagnosis and treatment.
Area of Science:
- Craniofacial Medicine
- Genetics
- Pediatric Surgery
Background:
- Oculo-auriculo-vertebral spectrum (OAVS) is characterized by significant variability in how it affects individuals.
- Understanding the phenotypic and genetic diversity is crucial for effective patient care.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review recent publications and systematic reviews on the oculo-auriculo-vertebral spectrum.
- To highlight current advancements and challenges in managing OAVS patients.
Main Methods:
- Systematic review of recent literature.
- Analysis of current treatment strategies and emerging technologies.
Main Results:
- Treatment approaches for OAVS differ across craniofacial centers.
- Advances include presurgical planning, virtual surgical planning, and computer-aided manufacturing.
- Psychosocial impacts of OAVS are increasingly being studied with longitudinal follow-up.
Conclusions:
- Effective management of OAVS necessitates awareness of phenotypic and genetic heterogeneity.
- A multidisciplinary team approach is essential for accurate diagnosis and comprehensive treatment of OAVS patients.

The Electromagnetic Spectrum
65.5K
The electromagnetic spectrum consists of all the types of electromagnetic radiation arranged according to their frequency and wavelength. Each of the various colors of visible light has specific frequencies and wavelengths associated with them, and you can see that visible light makes up only a small portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. Because the technologies developed to work in various parts of the electromagnetic spectrum are different, for reasons of convenience and historical...

The Electromagnetic Spectrum
33.8K
Electromagnetic waves are categorized according to their wavelengths and frequencies, giving the electromagnetic spectrum. These waves are classified as radio, infrared, ultraviolet, etc. Radio waves refer to electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths ranging from millimeters to kilometers. Radio waves are commonly used for audio communications (i.e., radios) and typically result from an alternating current in the wires of a broadcast antenna. They cover a broad wavelength range and are used...

IR Spectrum
2.3K
When infrared (IR) radiation passes through a molecule, the bonds stretch or bend by absorbing the radiation. This absorption creates the molecule's absorption spectrum, which is the plot of its percentage transmittance versus wavenumber.
Transmittance is defined as the ratio of the radiant power passing through a sample to that from the radiation's source. Multiplying the transmittance by 100 gives the percent transmittance (%T), which varies between 100% (no absorption) and 0%...

Muscles of the Vertebral Column
3.3K
The back muscles that lie deep into the thoracolumbar fascia are called intrinsic or true back muscles. These muscles are divided into four layers: superficial, intermediate, deep, and deepest layers.
Superficial Layer:
The superficial layer consists primarily of the splenius muscles, which include the splenius capitis and splenius cervicis. These muscles are mainly responsible for the head and cervical spine movements, including extension, rotation, and lateral bending. The splenius capitis...

Articulations of the Vertebral Column
3.2K
In addition to being held together by the intervertebral discs, adjacent vertebrae also articulate with each other at synovial joints formed between the superior and inferior articular processes called zygapophysial joints (facet joints). These are plane joints that provide for only limited motions between the vertebrae. The orientation of the articular processes at these joints varies in different regions of the vertebral column and serves to determine the types of motions available in each...

Mass Spectrum
4.8K
A mass spectrum is the graphical representation of the relative abundance of the charged fragments in an analyte plotted against their mass-to-charge ratio (m/z). The plot's x-axis represents the ratio of the mass of the charged fragment to the number of charges it carries. The y axis of the plot represents the relative abundance of each charged species. The relative abundance is calculated from the signal intensity of each charged species recorded at the detector. The most intense signal (the...
