Exploring dietary adaptations in Ursus minimus: a 3D geometric morphometric analysis of the mandible

Boreas, EarlyView.
Using 3D geometric morphometrics, the dietary adaptations of the extinct Auvergne bear (Ursus minimus) are analysed. Its mandibular morphology aligns more closely with omnivorous rather than insectivorous bears, challenging current ideas. The extinct bear Ursus minimus, which lived in Europe during the Pliocene and possibly Early Pleistocene, is ...

Fluoxetine, but not paroxetine, alters the jaw-closing muscle activity during non-rapid eye movement sleep in mice

Neuroscience Research
Sleep bruxism is an involuntary, exaggerated jaw-closing activity during sleep. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) use is a risk factor for bruxism. However, the effect of various SSRIs on masseter (jaw-closing) muscle activity remains unclear.

Human mandibular shape is associated with masticatory muscle force [PDF]

, 2018
Understanding how and to what extent forces applied to the mandible by the masticatory muscles influence its form, is of considerable importance from clinical, anthropological and evolutionary perspectives. This study investigates these questions.

Electroacupuncture as a treatment for suspected trigeminal nerve‐mediated head‐shaking in 42 horses

Equine Veterinary Education, EarlyView.
Summary Background Electroacupuncture (EA) has been used successfully as a treatment for trigeminal nerve‐mediated head‐shaking (TMHS) in a small case series, but results from a larger number of cases are lacking. Objectives To retrospectively investigate the effectiveness of EA as a treatment for horses with TMHS.

Potential of Using Shear Wave Elastography in the Clinical Evaluation and Monitoring of Changes in Masseter Muscle Stiffness

Pain Research and Management, 2020
The study aimed to evaluate masseter muscle stiffness in adult healthy volunteers referred to a massage treatment and also to investigate whether shear-wave elastography can be used to monitor the effect of massage on the masseter muscle.

Computational simulation of cranial soft tissue expansion on the cranium during early postnatal growth in humans

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
We use computer simulations of soft tissue growth to investigate the role of simple physical deformation in the development of the postnatal human cranium. We found that simulated expansion of the model endocranial volume resulted in cranial shape changes consistent with those seen in a normative early postnatal sample, using Procrustes analyses.

Adverse effects of treating bruxism and masseter muscle hypertrophy with botulinum toxin injection - a literature review

Quality in Sport
Background Botulinum toxin injection in the masseter muscle has gained popularity for both therapeutic and aesthetic applications, such as treating bruxism, masseter hypertrophy and lower facial slimming. Despite its efficacy, adverse effects associated
