Regular Smoking Accelerates the Decline in Masticatory Performance in Japanese Men: The Suita Study

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Smoking is presumed to cause a decline in masticatory performance by worsening the intraoral environment in various ways. However, no longitudinal study has examined the relationship between smoking and masticatory performance. Objectives To clarify how smoking affects future decline in masticatory performance through a 5‐year ...

A New Short‐Term Assessment Condition for Evaluating Nonfunctional Electromyographic Activity of Masseter Muscle During Wakefulness

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, EarlyView.
Short‐term EMG assessments during tasks like a 15‐min reading may offer a viable alternative to prolonged monitoring for assessing nonfunctional masseter activity linked to awake bruxism (AB). ABSTRACT Background Awake bruxism involves masticatory muscle activity during wakefulness, potentially leading to clinical concerns.

Relationship Between Cigarette Smoking and Awake Bruxism: Does Smoking Increase the Frequency of Masticatory Muscle Activities?

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Despite the aetiology of awake bruxism (AB) being prevalently linked to psychological factors, several studies suggested that the use of certain substances, such as tobacco smoking, can contribute to the increase in masticatory muscle activities (MMA) during wakefulness.

Exploring the Association Between Clinical Features and CBCT Findings in TMJ Degenerative Joint Disease

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) degenerative joint disease (DJD) involves progressive osseous changes and is commonly associated with temporomandibular disorders (TMD). Cone‐beam computed tomography (CBCT) is a valuable diagnostic tool for evaluating these changes. However, the relationship between clinical signs and symptoms, such as

Hitting the Gym: Reinforcement Learning Control of Exercise-Strengthened Biohybrid Robots in Simulation [PDF]

arXiv
Animals can accomplish many incredible behavioral feats across a wide range of operational environments and scales that current robots struggle to match. One explanation for this performance gap is the extraordinary properties of the biological materials that comprise animals, such as muscle tissue.
