RESUMEN
This article outlines how to promote and provide Functional Jaw Orthopedic (FJO) treatment, which is unique medical dentistry. FJO treatment is valuable preventive and therapeutic medical dentistry because jaw treatment impacts the extensive structures that surround the human airway and adjoin the skull. To best provide the broad range of unique FJO treatments, dentists need extensive knowledge, skills and experience. In order to promote FJO treatments, dentists and other interested health care providers need a wide assortment of educational materials that clearly show FJO treatment options and benefits.

Functional Jaw Orthopedics (FJO) is medically efficacious, exceptionally unique and unequaled in speed of a cure for a number of very common medical conditions currently only "managed" by modern medicine. This publication combines scientific citations and case presentations to show how and why dentists who advocate and provide early FJO treatment will lead a New Dental-Medical Renaissance into some of the most profound areas of medicine. Nocturnal enuresis (chronic bed-wetting) otitis media (ear infections), cor pulmonare, cognitive thought, vision, hearing, cardio-pulmonary dysfunction, and myocardial infarction have FJO dental-medical relationships. Early FJO treatment fulfills the ADA Code of Ethics which "calls upon dentists to follow high ethical standards which have the benefit of the patient as their primary goal: Do No Harm and Do Good."

The ZFY gene in the sex-determining region of the human Y chromosome encodes a protein with 13 zinc fingers, and may determine whether an embryo develops as a male or female. ZFX, a related gene on the human X chromosome, may also function in sex determination; it encodes a protein with a very similar zinc-finger domain and escapes X inactivation. ZFY and ZFX diverged from a common ancestral gene before the radiation of placental mammals, and retain a similar genomic organization. Analysis of complementary DNAs from the mouse Y-chromosomal homologues of ZFY indicates that these genes encode probable transcription activators. Here, we report that ZFX encodes a protein composed of a highly acidic amino-terminal domain, a basic putative nuclear-localization signal, and a carboxy-terminal zinc-finger domain. This combination of features, also found in the ZFY gene product, is typical of transcription activators. Alternative splicing generates ZFX transcripts encoding isoforms of 575 and 804 amino acids. These ZFX protein isoforms differ in the length of their acidic domains and may be functionally distinct.
