Macroglossia and less advanced dystrophic change in the tongue muscle of the Duchenne muscular dystrophy rat

Skeletal Muscle, 2022
Background Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is an X-linked muscle disease caused by a complete lack of dystrophin, which stabilizes the plasma membrane of myofibers.

Ultrasonographic Considerations for Safe and Efficient Botulinum Neurotoxin Injection in Masseteric Hypertrophy

Toxins, 2021
There are still concerns about masseteric bulging due to a lack of knowledge about the internal architecture of the masseter muscle. Further investigations are therefore required of the most-effective botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) injection points and ...

Role of medullary astroglial glutamine synthesis in tooth pulp hypersensitivity associated with frequent masseter muscle contraction

Molecular Pain, 2018
Background The mechanisms underlying tooth pulp hypersensitivity associated with masseter muscle hyperalgesia remain largely underinvestigated. In the present study, we aimed to determine whether masseter muscle contraction induced by daily electrical ...

Changes in Electrical Activity of the Masseter Muscle and Masticatory Force after the Use of the Masseter Nerve as Donor in Facial Reanimation Surgery

Indian Journal of Plastic Surgery, 2020
Introduction The masseter nerve has been used as a donor nerve for facial reanimation procedures due to the multiple advantages it offers; it has been generally considered that sacrifice of the masseter nerve does not alter the masticatory apparatus ...

Protective Effects of Clenbuterol against Dexamethasone-Induced Masseter Muscle Atrophy and Myosin Heavy Chain Transition. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Glucocorticoid has a direct catabolic effect on skeletal muscle, leading to muscle atrophy, but no effective pharmacotherapy is available. We reported that clenbuterol (CB) induced masseter muscle hypertrophy and slow-to-fast myosin heavy chain (MHC ...

Proliferative myositis of the masseter muscle [PDF]

The Laryngoscope, 1987
AbstractThe authors present a case of a 33‐year‐old white man with a 4‐month history of a rapidly enlarging, tender, painful, circumscribed facial mass located in the masseter muscle. CT scan and fine needle aspiration cytology, coupled with clinical assessment, suggested the diagnosis of proliferative myositis. Curative intraoral excisional biopsy was

Assessment of Masseter Muscle Hardness by Ultrasound Elastography and Hardness Meter in Healthy Individuals – An Observational Study

National Journal of Clinical Anatomy
Background: Examining the masseter muscle is crucial in assessment of temporomandibular disorders, hypertrophy, and sports injuries. The study aims to assess the hardness of masseter muscle in normal adults by muscle hardness meter and ultrasound ...
