Beyond mammals: the evolution of chewing and other forms of oropharyngeal food processing in vertebrates

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Oropharyngeal food processing exhibits a remarkable diversity among vertebrates, reflecting the evolution of specialised ‘processing centres’ associated with the mandibular, hyoid, and branchial arches. Although studies have detailed various food‐processing strategies and mechanisms across vertebrates, a coherent and comprehensive terminology ...

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

Positional Relationship Between the Orbicularis Oculi and Zygomaticus Complex Muscles by Ultrasonography: New Anatomical Insights for Crow's Feet Injection

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The orbicularis oculi muscle (OOc) is strongly associated with facial aging as its contraction causes the formation of crow's feet. Botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) injection is a representative treatment targeting muscle. The aim of this study was to demonstrate the anatomical relationship between the OOc and the zygomaticus complex muscles, and ...

Quantifying the Pressure of Labial and Buccinator Regions Pre‐ and Post‐ Facial Nerve Reanimation

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Flaccid facial nerve paralysis (FFNP) impairs oral function and quality of life. Tensor fascia lata slings (TFL) are used to improve oral competence. This study used the Iowa Oral Performance Instrument (IOPI) to measure oral competence in patients with FFNP undergoing facial reanimation.
