Diverse morphologies of soft palate in normal individuals: A cephalometric perspective

Journal of Indian Academy of Oral Medicine and Radiology, 2012
Purpose: Soft palate plays a significant role in various important functions in the head and neck region- Its varied morphology is implicated in variety of diseases. Therefore, it is essential to establish the morphology of soft palate in normal patients

Spindle Cell Lipoma of the Soft Palate

Case Reports in Otolaryngology, 2015
Intraoral spindle cell lipomas (SCL) are very rare and comprise ranging between 1.4%–9.8% of all intraoral lipomas. To our knowledge, no case of a SCL located on the soft palate has been reported in the English-language literature.

A perspective from the Mesozoic: Evolutionary changes of the mammalian skull and their influence on feeding efficiency and high‐frequency hearing

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The complex evolutionary history behind modern mammalian chewing performance and hearing function is a result of several changes in the entire skeletomuscular system of the skull and lower jaw. Lately, exciting multifunctional 3D analytical methods and kinematic simulations of feeding functions in both modern and fossil mammals and their ...

Pleomorphic adenoma of the soft palate [PDF]

Journal of Maxillofacial and Oral Surgery, 2010
Pleomorphic adenoma is the commonest benign salivary gland tumour, accounting for almost three fourths of all such tumours. Pleomorphic adenoma most commonly occurs in the parotid gland; however it is also encountered in the submandibular, sublingual and minor salivary glands.Almost half of all salivary gland tumours are malignant, pleomorphic adenoma ...

Comparative and functional anatomy of masticatory muscles and bite force in opossums (Didelphimorphia, Didelphidae)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
We describe the functional anatomy of masticatory muscles in nine opossums, finding a generalized anatomical pattern with differences related to skull morphology. Variation in quantitative myological data and estimated bite force was mostly related to size, and the increase in bite force supports dietary diversification associated with size increase ...

Discovery of sexual dimorphism of the laryngeal sac in the common minke whale Balaenoptera acutorostrata

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Mysticetes, or baleen whales, have an air sac on the ventral surface of the larynx known as the “laryngeal sac.” The primary hypothesis regarding this structure's function is that it is involved in sound production. However, several other functions have been proposed, including air recycling, air storage, and even buoyancy control.

The Role of Nasendoscopy in the Fabrication of a Palatopharyngeal Obturator – A Case Report [PDF]

Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2014
Defects confined to the hard palate can be managed with relative ease because it is a static shelf creating oro- nasal separation. Since the soft palate is a dynamic separator between the oral and nasal cavities, defects involving the soft palate ...

Meta-analysis Reveals Genome-Wide Significance at 15q13 for Nonsyndromic Clefting of Both the Lip and the Palate, and Functional Analyses Implicate GREM1 As a Plausible Causative Gene [PDF]

, 2016
Nonsyndromic orofacial clefts are common birth defects with multifactorial etiology. The most common type is cleft lip, which occurs with or without cleft palate (nsCLP and nsCLO, respectively).
