From Spider Bite to Fungating Ulcerating Mass: An Aggressive Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Face

Cureus
Necrotic facial lesions can have variable presentations, including presenting as a secondary infection. We present a case of a progressively enlarging necrotic facial lesion in an HIV-positive patient. The patient reported the lesion began five months earlier after a presumed brown recluse spider bite.

Food texture and food intake : the role of oral sensory exposure

, 2010
Background and objective: In view of the growing epidemic of obesity, it is important to investigate factors which influence food intake. Food texture has been shown to play a role in food intake regulation but underlying explaining mechanisms are ...

Body-mass-adjusted canine bite-force results and mean brick VM stresses for selected regions in a jaw-adductor-driven bite at maximum gape.

, 2013
*Muscle forces were back-calculated from FE models that gave the body-mass-scaled bite-force output at canines assuming a 2/3 power relationship. The choice of reference taxon is immaterial in this context and S. fatalis was arbitrarily chosen here. kg =

Soft Hardware, Flowing Software: Reconfigurable Microfluidics for Adaptable Chemical Computation

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A reconfigurable microfluidic platform based on soft, photo‐printable, and chemically erasable hydrogel structures printed and erased in situ is used to control flow routing, mixing, chemical patterning, and even chemical computing. Using hardware to control chemical computations decouples logic function from molecular composition, demonstrated via ...

Proximate determinants of bite force capacity in the mouse lemur

, 2013
International audienceBoth mating system and diet are thought to drive inter-individual variation in bite force. Although previously published data suggest that bite force variation may be driven by variation in morphology (e.g.

E. coli Extracellular Matrix: A Tunable Composite With Hierarchical Structure

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
The complex composite‐like mechanical behavior of E. coli biofilm matrix is the result of a synergic contribution of the rigid curli and swelling pEtN‐cellulose, and emerges from specific ratio and assembly conditions. The interactions between the two fibers govern biofilm hydration and characteristic wrinkling patterns, providing crucial insights for ...

Relationship of Maximum Bite Force with Craniofacial Morphology , Body Mass and Height in an Iraqi Adults with Different Types of Malocclusion

Journal of Baghdad College of Dentistry, 2013
Background: Information concerning the maximum bite force in human population is important to clinical orthodontics. Additionally, the influence of bite force on the vertical stability of any treatment result is important. The new position of the dentition should be compatible with the dynamics of the muscular and occlusal forces in all planes.

Advanced Design for Weakly Coupled Resonators by Automatic Active Optimization

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
An Automatic Active Optimization (AAO) strategy integrates machine learning predictors and genetic algorithms in a closed‐loop workflow. By iteratively expanding its dataset with new discoveries, AAO overcomes the limits of conventional methods. This approach finds superior microstructural designs beyond the initial sample space. We demonstrate this on

Guyon’s canal syndrome caused by mass effect after chronic dog bite hand injury

Joint Diseases and Related Surgery
Epidermal inclusion cysts are defined as dermal or subcutaneous epithelial cysts which are filled with keratin and lined with true epidermis. Although exceedingly rare, they can lead to pathological conditions, such as nerve compression syndrome. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first documented case of a 59-year-old woman with ulnar nerve ...
