Drop homotopic effects of masseter-muscle pain on somatosensory sensitivity in healthy participants
Scientific Reports, 2021 Current pain classifications use 1.0-kg palpation of the masseter muscle to distinguish between “pain patients” and “healthy controls” but a thorough understanding of the normal physiological responses to various somatosensory stimuli is lacking. The aim

Role of β-adrenergic signaling in masseter muscle
PLoS ONE, 2019 In skeletal muscle, the major isoform of β-adrenergic receptor (β-AR) is β2-AR and the minor isoform is β1-AR, which is opposite to the situation in cardiac muscle. Despite extensive studies in cardiac muscle, the physiological roles of the β-AR subtypes

Advanced Science, EarlyView.This manuscript presents the WDMS platform, an AI‐assisted, self‐powered wearable dual‐mode sensor for tele‐neurology. It integrates a contact–separation TENG insole with stretchable polyurethane optical‐fiber strain sensors to synchronously track plantar pressure and lower‐limb muscle deformation.

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Invasive gray squirrels (Sciurus carolinensis) have replaced the native red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris) across much of Great Britain over the last century. Several factors have been proposed to underlie this replacement, but here we investigated the potential for dietary competition in which gray squirrels have better feeding performance than ...

An ultrasonographic evaluation of masseter muscle thickness in different dentofacial patterns
Indian Journal of Dental Research, 2012 Objectives: The aim of this study is to compare the masseter muscle thickness in different vertical dentofacial patterns and identify the possible sexual dimorphism and also to correlate masseter muscle thickness with craniofacial morphology using ...
