    Extractions: Bell's palsy is an acquired weakness of one side of the face, due to an injury to the facial nerve . The symptoms on the affected side typically include inability to close the eye, to smile, wrinkle the forehead and whistle. Speech may be mildly slurred. Tearing occurs because the eye does not close completely. Taste sensation may be diminished on the front half of the tongue. Sounds may appear louder on the affected side (hyperacusis) this may be caused by paralysis of the stapedius muscle but also occurs independantly. Papillitis may be seen of the fungiform papillae of the affected side. Bell's palsy usually develops over hours to days. The peak involvement usually happens within several days. Mild pain behind the ear is common at onset, as is a subjective sensation of "numbness" of the affected side. Usually it is first noticed when a persons observes it in a mirror, or on eating because food tends to collect between the cheek and gums. How common is Bell's palsy ?

    http://kyky.essortment.com/whatisbellspa_rsyj.htm
    
    Extractions: What is Bell's palsy? Learn all about what is Bells palsy, which is caused by a abnormality of the facial nerves. There are twelve cranial nerves that lead directly from the brain to various parts of the head. These nerves process hearing, assist in maintaining equilibrium, control movements of the face, throat, neck and eyes, receive sensations from the face, throat and tongue, control the nerve of smell and control the nerve of sight. Any disorder of these nerves will produce a loss of function in the area that the nerve affects. Such is the case with Bell's palsy which is caused by a abnormality of the facial nerve. Named for Scottish anatomist Sir Charles Bell who was first to distinguish between motor and sensory functions of the nerves, Bell's palsy is a paralysis of the facial muscles that usually affects only one side of the face. Although the cause of Bell's palsy is unknown, it is believed that it may be associated with herpes zoster or shingles, a swelling of the facial nerve as a reaction to viral infections or a lack of blood supply. This disorder affects the cranial nerve that stimulates action in the facial muscles creating a temporary inflammation of the facial nerve. This is a common disorder that appears suddenly, even though the person affected may develop a pain behind the ear or weakness in the facial muscles prior to the onset. The symptoms that occur are unpredictable and can range from mild to the complete paralysis of one side of the face. Unlike a stroke which also causes facial paralysis in the lower part of the face, Bell's palsy affects only the face in both the upper and lower areas.

    Bell s Palsy Medication Question Is the dosage of prednisone that I have been prescribed too high for my diagnosis of bells palsy?  
    http://www.druginfonet.com/faq/faqbellp.htm
    
    Extractions: Question: Is the dosage of prednisone that I have been prescribed too high for my diagnosis of Bells Palsy? The dosage is 80 mg daily for four days, reduced by 10 mg every four days until the final dose of 10 mg daily for 7 days. At the end of this period I am to be reviewed by my doctor. Answer: There is no set recommendations for the dosage of steroids in Bell's Palsy. Some do not think that it is even effective. However, given the lack of any other treatment most physicians will burst the steroids as yours is doing. 80 mg is on the higher side of the dosing scheme, as most physicians would use 40 or 20. However, as I said this area is poorly researched and a high initial dosage may be what we all should be using. This dosage is higher than I would use, but I'm not critical for his using this dosage. The tapering schema is certainly correct.

    Extractions: Bell's palsy is a type of paralysis (or weakness) of the muscles in the face, thought to be due to inflammation of the seventh cranial nerve, also known as the facial nerve. While it can strike anyone, it seems to occur more frequently in people between the ages of 30 and 50, individuals recovering from viral infections and people with diabetes. Bell's palsy affects only one side of the face at a time, and only rarely recurs in the same individual. Bell's palsy tends to come on very suddenly. You may go to bed one night with no noticeable symptoms, only to peer in the mirror the next morning and notice that your face appears to be drooping. Some people notice pain behind their ear a day or two before they notice any weakness. Others comment that sounds seem abnormally and uncomfortably loud several days before the development of paralysis. Within a day or two, the paralysis usually reaches its peak. Most people start to recover within a couple of weeks and are completely recovered within three months. About 20% of people who develop Bell's palsy have a longer recovery period or have some permanent symptoms of the condition. Many people with Bell's palsy worry that they are having a stroke. This is unlikely because a stroke that affects the face muscles would also cause muscle weakness in other parts of the body.

    Extractions: For a professional saxophonist, or any windplayer, the embouchure is the most important connection to your instrument. It serves as the seal for the air stream and is the final adjustment for the quality of the tone, pitch, timbre and response of the instrument. Have you ever thought what you would do if you woke up one day and could not form an embouchure? Well, I have not only thought about it, it happened to me. With Gunnar Mossblad’s permission we have decided to make these two articles on Bells Palsy available to the general public on our website. The medical implications are such that we feel it is important to get the information out there, and hopefully we can help someone else who may be experiencing Bells Palsy. We thank Gunnar for his curageous contribution to Saxophone Journal, and we are happy to report that Gunnar is playing saxophone again and enjoying a renewed career.

    Extractions: Main Kevin, M.D. posted a routine case of bell's palsy and links to a small trial that is listed by UptoDate, an online subscription-based resource that our group (PAMF) has a license to, and is used frequently by our partners. If i remember correctly, in a recent review by bandolier of EBM (evidence based medicine) resources, UptoDate was not as comprehensive or timely as other resources such as BestEvidence which is a compendium of Cochrane collaboration publications. In any case, UptoDate "comes up with this recommendation: Despite the absence of definitive data, based upon the randomized, controlled trial that found a benefit of combined corticosteroid/acyclovir therapy, it is standard practice now, including my own practice, for all patients with Bell's palsy seen within the first week of onset to be treated with corticosteroids (typically prednisone 60 to 80 mg per day) plus valacyclovir (1 g three times daily) for one week. Unfortunately, this evidence isn't conclusive at all. There's no definitive evidence that the use of steroids helps in bells palsy, and many providers i know avoid it since the benefits don't definitely outweigh risks of using steroids. I can't point to their reference, since it's behind kaiser's firewall, but i remember that their recent review didn't disclose a benefit, and kaiser doesn't recommend the use of steroids. An in formal poll by me of a few collegues confirmed that the use of steroids isn't widely agreed upon, although many providers do prescribe antivirals since the herpes virus has been linked as a possible cause.
