The rapid aging of the population makes the detection and prevention of frailty increasingly important. Oral frailty has been proposed as a novel frailty phenotype and is defined as a decrease in oral function coexisting with a decline in cognitive and ...

New image analysis of large food particles can discriminate experimentally suppressed mastication [PDF]
Objective parameters that could provide a basis for food texture selection for elderly or dysphagic patients have not been established. We, therefore, aimed to develop a precise method of measuring large particles (>2 mm in diameter) in a bolus and an ...

Edge Forcing in Butterfly Networks [PDF]
A zero forcing set is a set $S$ of vertices of a graph $G$, called forced vertices of $G$, which are able to force the entire graph by applying the following process iteratively: At any particular instance of time, if any forced vertex has a unique unforced neighbor, it forces that neighbor.

Measurements of masticatory forces in the horse
There is a need for specific data on equine mastication in several fields: (1) In nutritional science, the disruption of the forage is crucial to sufficient energy uptake in the horse (Frape 1990). (2) In mandibular/oral surgery, knowledge about the motions of the jaws and about chewing forces is necessary for the development of techniques and ...

Occlusal force predicts global motion coherence threshold in adolescent boys
Background Beneficial effects of mastication on cognitive abilities in the elderly have been shown in human studies. However, little is currently known about the effect of masticatory stimulation on cognitive and perceptual ability in younger populations.

Circadian dynamics in the functional interaction of the lateral teeth occlusal surfaces' relief
Aim: This study describes the relationship of the chronophysiological organization of the lateral teeth occlusion and the parameters of the chewing unit of the human dentofacial system (bioelectric potentials, the force of the masticatory muscles ...
