MRI findings of radiation-induced changes of masticatory muscles: a systematic review

Journal of Otolaryngology - Head & Neck Surgery, 2013
BackgroundRadiotherapy to the head and neck regions can result in serious consequences to the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and chewing muscles. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrates soft-tissue alterations after radiotherapy, such as morphology ...

Lithic analysis in African archaeology: Advances and key themes

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
Abstract Stone artifacts (lithics) preserve for extended periods; thus they are key evidence for probing the evolution of human technological behaviors. Africa boasts the oldest record of stone artifacts, spanning 3.3 Ma, rare instances of ethnographic stone tool‐making, and stone tool archives from diverse ecological settings, making it an anchor for ...

A Hemispherical Contact Model for Simplifying 3D Occlusal Surfaces [PDF]

, 2018
Statement of problem Currently, dental articulators can recreate mandibular movements and occlusal contacts. However, whether virtual articulators can also provide information about occluding dental surfaces, functional movements, and the mandibular ...

Chin up: A novel functional explanation for the evolution of the chin

Acta Zoologica, EarlyView.
Abstract The human chin, also frequently referred to as the mental prominence, is a part of the human anatomy whose evolutionary origin and function have divided scientific opinion to this day. There were suggestions it could have been used in defence, assisted in the mastication process, aided in the formation of words (i.e.

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 ...

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.

Dental Implant Rehabilitation in Patients Carrying WNT10A Mutations With Different Molecular Statuses and Phenotypes: A Retrospective Cohort Study

Clinical Oral Implants Research, Volume 36, Issue 4, Page 505-517, April 2025.
ABSTRACT Objectives WNT10A mutations are associated with tooth agenesis. This study aimed to assess the clinical outcomes of dental implants in patients carrying WNT10A mutations with different molecular statuses and phenotypes over a long‐term follow‐up period. Materials and Methods Patients with tooth agenesis were screened by whole‐exome sequencing (

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.
