Oral declines and mastication deficiencies cause alteration of food bolus properties.

open access: yesFood & Function, 2018
In the elderly, masticatory function often presents failure in certain oral tasks due to impairment such as decline in muscular force, jaw or tongue motility, neuro-muscular coordination, tooth damage, malocclusion and saliva production.

Long non‐coding RNAs as therapeutic targets in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma and clinical application

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Long non‐coding RNAs (lncRNAs) occupy an abundant fraction of the eukaryotic transcriptome and an emerging area in cancer research. Regulation by lncRNAs is based on their subcellular localization in HNSCC. This cartoon shows the various functions of lncRNAs in HNSCC discussed in this review.

EVOLUTION OF MASTICATION IN THE ELEPHANTIDAE [PDF]

open access: yesEvolution, 1972
The value of any individual morphological trait derives from its adaptive significance to the total biology of the animals in which it is found. The difficulty arises in determining the adaptive value of isolated characters. Paleontologists can partially overcome this difficulty by analyzing characters as components of functional complexes.

Dysphagia and Mortality Risk in Individuals With Primary Progressive Apraxia of Speech

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Individuals with primary progressive apraxia of speech (PPAOS) often develop parkinsonism and dysphagia. To evaluate the clinical correlates and impact of dysphagia in this population, we compared enrollment visit data between individuals with (n = 12) versus individuals without (n = 44) dysphagia symptoms.

Global Trends in Risk Factors for Low Back Pain: An Analysis of the Global Burden of Disease Study Data From 1990 to 2021

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective The increasing burden associated with low back pain (LBP) is a critical issue. This is a novel analysis of trends in risk factors for LBP aiming to identify risk factors that require further attention or consideration in global policies to reduce the burden of LBP.

Association between Mastication, the Hippocampus, and the HPA Axis: A Comprehensive Review

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2017
Mastication is mainly involved in food intake and nutrient digestion with the aid of teeth. Mastication is also important for preserving and promoting general health, including hippocampus-dependent cognition.
