The Myofascial Continuum: Anatomical Insights Into Noncardiac Chest Pain

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Angina, commonly known as chest pain, is the primary symptom of ischemic heart disease and can also present as pain in the neck, shoulder, jaw, arm, or back. Noncardiac chest pain (NCCP) is a common disorder with various causes, marked by recurrent chest pain that mimics ischemic heart pain.

Quantifying Bite Forces for Solid Foods: Implications for Patients Postmandibular Reconstruction

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Bite forces required to masticate different food consistencies remain unknown, complicating dietary guidelines following mandibular reconstruction. This study quantifies the forces required for solid foods and estimates safe bite limits postreconstruction.

The Evolving Landscape of Immunotoxicity: Charting Mechanisms and Future Strategies for Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor Adverse Events

Med Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The use of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) has significantly improved the efficacy of cancer therapy, but their associated immune‐related adverse events (irAEs) can severely compromise treatment safety. This review systematically summarizes the core mechanisms underlying irAEs, which include multi‐organ damage resulting from T‐cell ...

Multiparameter Electromyography Analysis of the Masticatory Muscle Activities in Patients with Brainstem Stroke at Different Head Positions

Frontiers in Neurology, 2017
The performance of the masticatory muscle is frequently affected and presents high heterogeneity poststroke. Surface electromyography (EMG) is widely used to quantify muscle movement patterns.

Compliance With Swallowing Instruction and Quality of Life in Patients With Parkinson's Disease: A Retrospective Assessment of Instructional Methods to Maintain and Improve Quality of Life

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives To investigate the effects of swallowing instructional methods and content on instructional compliance among patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Methods Overall, 59 of the 317 patients with PD who underwent a videofluoroscopic examination of swallowing (VF) and completed the Japanese version of the Dysphagia Handicap Index (DHI ...

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 ...

Exploring dietary adaptations in Ursus minimus: a 3D geometric morphometric analysis of the mandible

Boreas, EarlyView.
Using 3D geometric morphometrics, the dietary adaptations of the extinct Auvergne bear (Ursus minimus) are analysed. Its mandibular morphology aligns more closely with omnivorous rather than insectivorous bears, challenging current ideas. The extinct bear Ursus minimus, which lived in Europe during the Pliocene and possibly Early Pleistocene, is ...

Research into the physiology of myosins - a personal odyssey

European Journal of Translational Myology
During my PhD, I worked on the neural regulation of mechanical properties fast and slow muscles. This led me to believe that myosins in fast and slow muscles are structurally distinct and that motor nerves regulate the expression of myosin genes.

Temporomandibular disorders and neck disability in individuals with cervical disc herniation

European Journal of Oral Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract The primary aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence and severity of temporomandibular disorders (TMDs), and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pain in patients with cervical disc herniation. The secondary aim was to investigate the relationship between neck disability, neck pain, sociodemographic factors, TMD, and TMJ pain.
