Multi‐method analysis for the three‐dimensional reconstruction of muscle fascicles from DiceCT datasets

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Muscle architecture is a major determinant of muscle performance and, in mammalian lineages, has been correlated with both feeding ecology and locomotor behaviors. Over the past decade, contrast‐enhanced micro‐CT (DiceCT) has emerged as an alternative to traditional dissection‐based measurement.

Cortical bone distribution in the human mandibular symphysis: Ontogenic and morphometric approaches in archeological context

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The human mandibular symphysis concentrates multiaxial loads during function and remodels throughout growth, but the precise mechanisms underlying cortical bone shape during growth remain relatively unexplored. Approaches based solely on thickness or external cortical contours provide only partial insights and do not capture the functional ...

Involvement of IL-1 in the Maintenance of Masseter Muscle Activity and Glucose Homeostasis. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Physical exercise reportedly stimulates IL-1 production within working skeletal muscles, but its physiological significance remains unknown due to the existence of two distinct IL-1 isoforms, IL-1α and IL-1β.

Stomathognatic system function in indigenous people from Brazilian Xingu villages: An electromyographic analysis.

PLoS ONE, 2020
The maintenance of postural balance can be influenced by the lifestyle of a population. This study aimed to determine the electromyographic activity of the masseter and temporalis muscles during mandibular tasks and habitual and non-habitual chewing in ...

Beyond mammals: the evolution of chewing and other forms of oropharyngeal food processing in vertebrates

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Oropharyngeal food processing exhibits a remarkable diversity among vertebrates, reflecting the evolution of specialised ‘processing centres’ associated with the mandibular, hyoid, and branchial arches. Although studies have detailed various food‐processing strategies and mechanisms across vertebrates, a coherent and comprehensive terminology ...

Functional Effects of BoNT-A Application in Masseter Muscle in Patients with Symptoms of Bruxism

Toxins
Bruxism, defined as a repetitive jaw-muscle activity characterized by clenching or grinding of teeth and/or by bracing or thrusting of the mandible, is a prevalent behavior affecting up to 22% of adults worldwide. While traditionally viewed as a disorder,

Impact of Infratemporal Fossa Clearance on Survival in Advanced Buccal Mucosa Cancers

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Buccal mucosa cancers are the most prevalent oral cavity cancers in South Asia, often attributed to widespread tobacco use. The current NCCN guidelines generally advise against primary surgery for locally very advanced (cT4b) buccal cancers involving the masticatory space and infratemporal fossa (ITF).
