New image analysis of large food particles can discriminate experimentally suppressed mastication [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Objective parameters that could provide a basis for food texture selection for elderly or dysphagic patients have not been established. We, therefore, aimed to develop a precise method of measuring large particles (>2 mm in diameter) in a bolus and an ...

Comparison of the effects of occlusal splint and Botox injections on the amount of mouth opening and chronic pain in individuals with temporomandibular disorders: a systematic review and meta‐analysis

open access: yesAustralian Dental Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective This systematic review and meta‐analysis study was carried out to compare the effectiveness of occlusal splint (OS) and Botox (BTX) injections in temporomandibular disorders (TMDs). Material and Methods Irrespective of the starting year, studies were searched for up to 2024 using PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus databases and the ...

Role of cyclic AMP sensor Epac1 in masseter muscle hypertrophy and myosin heavy chain transition induced by β2‐adrenoceptor stimulation

open access: yesJournal of Physiology, 2014
Epac (exchange protein directly activated by cyclic AMP (cAMP)), a PKA‐independent cAMP sensor, plays important roles in multiple cellular processes, but its role in the pathogenesis of skeletal muscle hypertrophy and myosin heavy chain (MHC) transition ...

Botulinum toxin type A treatment for a parotid gland injury in two adult horses

open access: yesEquine Veterinary Education, EarlyView.
Summary The most common disorder affecting the salivary glands in horses is trauma to the parotid gland or duct. Several management techniques have been described, each with their own set of complications. The objective of this case report was to describe the direct injection of botulinum toxin type A into the parotid gland and its outcome in two ...

Rheological basis of skeletal muscle work loops [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2020
Skeletal muscle is subjected to simultaneous time-varying neural stimuli and length changes in vivo. Work loops are experimental representations of these in vivo conditions and exhibit force versus length responses that are not explainable using either soft matter rheology or the classical isometric and isotonic characterizations of muscle.

The effects of denervation and formoterol administration on facial growth

open access: yesAustralasian Orthodontic Journal, 2014
Objective: To identify and demonstrate possible alterations of skeletal structures which might follow either unilateral surgical denervation of the masseter muscle, unilateral intramuscular injection of formoterol directly into the masseter muscle, or ...

Masseter Muscle Myofibrillar Protein Synthesis and Degradation in an Experimental Critical Illness Myopathy Model

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Critical illness myopathy (CIM) is a debilitating common consequence of modern intensive care, characterized by severe muscle wasting, weakness and a decreased myosin/actin (M/A) ratio.
