Announcement JJAMD has not published its usual Progress Report on the website for a long time, because we sadly ran into a dilemma concerning The Glass Family TMJD Postdoctoral Fellowship at Forsyth. which created a moral and ethical dilemma for us, and which needed legal counsel to resolve. This dilemma even affected our ability to conduct usual business for the JJAMD Foundation. We plan to publish a more comprehensive report shortly, giving an historical account of the beginning, some significant outcomes, and current status. JJAMD has a lot more news to report, and we will do so in our next forthcoming entry. But, in the meantime, we have decided to include here a letter to the Massachusetts Attorney General, which we are now allowed to do so, because it is now a matter of public record. It captures the Four-Year History of the Fellowship, and the reason we ended our relationship with The Forsyth Institute after more than 25 years. The Fellowship is still alive, and is actually in the process of being re-settled in a new important Institute.

TMJ NATURAL HISTORY PATIENT REGISTRY ANNOUNCED
Our long awaited effort for a "TMJ Natural History Registry" is becoming a reality, with the issuance of an announcement by the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research [NIDCR] NIDCR-BAA-DR-04-08. JJAMD is an integral part of this TMJ Registry as Patient Advocates. The intent of this Registry is expressed in this quote from the National Institute of Health [NIH]: "...advancing the state of the art or increasing knowledge or understanding....." Another quote from NIDCR concerning the intent of this Registry: "...promote the development of novel preventative and therapeutic strategies for patients suffering from these disorders." This gives you an example of the tone and the seriousness of purpose of all. Please note that this Registry is separate and distinct from the other TMJ Registry already dedicated to the failed TMJ implant patients. We have always represented the TMJ Patients' Perspective, have conducted and published some independent research studies with the cooperation of many caring TMJ Patients, which have impacted NIH, NIDCR, and other Agencies, and the broader community. This Registry will require the recruitment of both TMJ Patients and those at risk of becoming TMJ Patients. This is your opportunity to be seen and heard. Please let us know if you are interested in participating, by sending us an e-mail at: TMJoints@gmail.com. Please provide us with the following preliminary information: NAME: ADDRESS: e-mail address: phone: AGE: SEX: HAVE YOU ALREADY BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH TMJ; _______ [or] DO YOU SUSPECT THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF TMJ _______ YEARS IN TREATMENT_________ |
