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

open access: yesPain 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.

Effect of anticholinergic eye drops on intraorbital, periorbital and brain pulsation power

open access: yesActa Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose The study aims to investigate the effect of pharmacologically reducing parasympathetic activity on ocular and cerebral pulsations, inspired by recent discoveries of a glymphatic‐like system in the eye driven by physiological pulsations.

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

open access: yesQuality 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

Myositis ossificans of the masseter muscle: a rare location. Report of a case and review of literature [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Background: Myositis Ossificans is a rare heterotopic bone formation within a muscle being the masticatory muscles exceptionally involved. In most cases there is a previous trauma, bearing in mind that there may be many other etiologies.

Exploring the Link Between Headache, Possible Sleep Bruxism and Self‐Medication in Adolescents

open access: yesActa Paediatrica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim Adolescents predominantly suffer from headaches and sleep bruxism. Yet, the association between both conditions remains unclear. This study investigated the relationship between primary headaches and possible sleep bruxism in adolescents. Methods A cross‐sectional study was conducted from August 24 to October 13, 2022, with 567 adolescents

Higher masseter muscle mass in grazing than in browsing ruminants [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Using cranioskeletal measurements, several studies have generated evidence that grazing ruminants have a more pronounced mastication apparatus, in terms of muscle insertion areas and protuberances, than browsing ruminants, with the resulting hypothesis ...

The effect of varying jaw-elevator muscle forces on a finite element model of a human cranium [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Finite element analyses simulating masticatory system loading are increasingly undertaken in primates, hominin fossils and modern humans. Simplifications of models and loadcases are often required given the limits of data and technology. One such area of

The measurement and facilitation of cooperative task performance [PDF]

open access: yes
Experiments were conducted to determine under what conditions jaw clenching will occur in humans as a response to stress exposure. The method for measuring reactions to stress involves a series of electrical recordings of the masseter and temporalis ...

Development and Validation of a Spontaneous Smile Assay [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
IMPORTANCE Smiling can be a voluntary or involuntarymovement. Facial reanimation procedures differ in their ability to restore a spontaneous smile, and an assay designed to evoke and evaluate a spontaneous smile is not available. OBJECTIVE To develop and
