Diagnostic approach to chronic diarrhoea in adult horses

Equine Veterinary Education, EarlyView.
Summary Chronic diarrhoea presents a diagnostic challenge for both human physicians and equine veterinarians. There is currently no consensus in the equine veterinary literature on the definition of chronic diarrhoea. The differential list is extensive and identifying diarrhoea by pathophysiologic mechanism can help remove less likely diagnoses ...

Prevalence assessment of bruxism and clenching by considering oral- temporomandibular signs in patients of clinics of Isfahan city

مجله دانشکده دندانپزشکی اصفهان, 2008
Introduction: As bruxism and clenching are important parafunctional habits that cause disorders in masticatory muscles and temporomandibular joint (TMJ), and many patients are unaware of these parafunctions, this study was done to evaluate prevalence of ...

Equine temporomandibular joint diseases: A systematic review

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is a unique joint that enables mandibular movement. Temporomandibular diseases (TMDs) impair joint function, leading to more or less specific clinical signs. Objectives To compile and disseminate clinical data and research findings from existing publications on equine TMD.

Slow Limb Movements Require Precise Control of Muscle Stiffness [PDF]

arXiv, 2015
Slow and accurate finger and limb movements are essential to daily activities, but their neural control and governing mechanics are relatively unexplored. We consider neuromechanical systems where slow movements are produced by neural commands that modulate muscle stiffness.

The role of masticatory muscles in the continuous loading of the mandible

Journal of Anatomy, 2011
Muscles are considered to play an important role in the ongoing daily loading of bone, especially in the masticatory apparatus. Currently, there are no measurements describing this role over longer periods of time. We made simultaneous and wireless in vivo recordings of habitual strains of the rabbit mandible and masseter muscle and digastric muscle ...

Predicting Muscle Thickness Deformation from Muscle Activation Patterns: A Dual-Attention Framework [PDF]

arXiv
Understanding the relationship between muscle activation and thickness deformation is critical for diagnosing muscle-related diseases and monitoring muscle health. Although ultrasound technique can measure muscle thickness change during muscle movement, its application in portable devices is limited by wiring and data collection challenges.
