[Posterior auricular muscle reflex in the study of the facial muscle function].

Acta otorhinolaryngologica Italica : organo ufficiale della Societa italiana di otorinolaringologia e chirurgia cervico-facciale, 1998
To date the study of facial nerve function is based on just two tests: electroneurography (ENGH) and electromyography (EMG). Nevertheless neither of these tests gives reliable results until 8-10 days after onset of the paralysis. The authors have used an evoked auditory potential--more specifically the posterior auricular muscle reflex (PAMr) which is ...

Bite force estimates and morphological correlations of jaw muscles in parrots

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 12, Page 3603-3624, December 2026.
Abstract Parrots (Order: Psittaciformes) are renowned for their high bite force (BF) and morphological correlates thereof, including a highly mobile skull and two unique mandibular adductor muscles—m. pseudomasseter and m. ethmomandibularis, with the former being hypothesized to increase force output.

Taste Dysfunction and Bell's Palsy: A Scoping Review

The Laryngoscope, Volume 136, Issue 12, Page 5227-5235, December 2026.
Taste dysfunction is a well‐recognized but inconsistently reported symptom in Bell's palsy. This scoping review found that taste dysfunction is prevalent in these patients, often precedes facial weakness, and commonly improves within 6 months. Standardized, longitudinal studies employing validated psychophysical measures are needed to clarify the ...

Landmark‐Based Anatomical Dissection and Real‐Time Functional Assessment of the Mouse Eustachian Tube

Laryngoscope Investigative Otolaryngology, Volume 11, Issue 6, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective Eustachian tube dysfunction (ETD) contributes to middle ear diseases, but practical methods for functional assessment in mice remain limited. We aimed to develop a landmark‐guided mouse Eustachian tube (ET) dissection protocol and a real‐time pressure‐based system for ET functional evaluation. Methods A detachable portable device was

Innovations in Obesity Treatment: Beyond Adipose Tissue Dysfunction

Obesity Reviews, Volume 27, Issue 12, December 2026.
Obesity drives chronic inflammation, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and cancer development through adipocyte dysfunction. Addressing this multisystemic disorder requires integrated strategies beyond diet and exercise, such as thermogenesis activation via menthol or capsinoids and appetite control through GLP‐1/GIP agonists and neuromodulation to ...

Dual‐Targeting Biomimetic Nanozymes Loaded Microneedle Patch Promotes Scarless Wound Healing Through Anti‐Inflammatory and Anti‐Fibrotic Effects

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 62, 9 November 2026.
This study developed a dual‐targeting biomimetic nanozyme hybrid system (Cu‐CeO2@ABs‐FTP) and integrated it with HAMA hydrogel to fabricate a microneedle patch (CAF@MN). The patch promotes fibroblast‐mediated wound repair, targets macrophages to induce M2 polarization, and targets myofibroblasts to exert anti‐fibrotic effects, thereby enabling rapid ...

The skeleton of the green Iguana iguana (Squamata: Iguanidae) and its intraspecific morphological variation

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 11, Page 3345-3374, November 2026.
Abstract The green iguana (Iguana iguana) is an iguanine lizard with herbivorous and arboreal habits, whose distribution spans through South America, Central America to the south of North America. Although the genus Iguana is well‐known, the species still lacks a comprehensive and up‐to‐date anatomical study, particularly addressing the axial skeleton,
