The trophic effect of ciliary neurotrophic factor on injured masseter muscle in rat [PDF]
Iranian Journal of Basic Medical Sciences, 2015 Objective(s): Occlusal trauma is one of the most common forms of oral biting dysfunction. Long-term occlusal trauma could weaken the stomatognathic system; especially damage one’s masticatory muscle.

Masseter Muscle Thickness and Maxillofacial Morphology - A Pilot Study
Turkish Journal of Orthodontics, 2009 The aim of this study was to investigate how the thickness of the masseter muscle relates to the maxillofacial morphology, including the thickness of alveolar process in the mandibular incisor region, and the thickness of the mandibular symphysis.

Patterned Structure Muscle : Arbitrary Shaped Wire-driven Artificial Muscle Utilizing Anisotropic Flexible Structure for Musculoskeletal Robots [PDF]
arXivMuscles of the human body are composed of tiny actuators made up of myosin and actin filaments. They can exert force in various shapes such as curved or flat, under contact forces and deformations from the environment. On the other hand, muscles in musculoskeletal robots so far have faced challenges in generating force in such shapes and environments ...

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.

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.A combined approach of osteology and histology was used to examine the cheek regions of dinosaurs. Strong evidence was found for a soft tissue in this region connecting the zygoma to the mandible, here named the ‘exoparia’. Abstract Unlike mammals, reptiles typically lack large muscles and ligaments that connect the zygoma to the mandible.

Slow Limb Movements Require Precise Control of Muscle Stiffness [PDF]
arXiv, 2015 Slow and accurate finger and limb movements are essential to daily activities, but their neural control and governing mechanics are relatively unexplored. We consider neuromechanical systems where slow movements are produced by neural commands that modulate muscle stiffness.

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background The brief Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (bDC/TMD) was recently published to simplify the full Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (DC/TMD) protocol. Objective To measure the inter‐examiner reliability, sensitivity and specificity of bDC/TMD Axis I diagnoses against DC/TMD Axis I diagnoses in ...
