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 ...

0-9549670-0-3 (Ed.) (2004) 1-6, 2006 Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome is now considered as a major health care topic. An in-vitro setup which reproduces and simplifies upper airway geometry has been the basis to study the fluid/walls interaction that leads to an apnea. It consists of a rigid pipe (the pharynx) in contact with a deformable latex cylinder filled with water (the tongue). Air

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 ...

THE SIGNIFICANCE OF EDEMA OF THE SOFT PALATE [PDF]
JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1910 Not infrequently an apparently trivial symptom may be the expression of a serious affection, and if it is unheeded and the opportunity for active treatment allowed to pass it may lead to a fatal termination before its true significance has been appreciated. Such a symptom is edema of the soft palate, and especially the uvula. When observed its possible

Short-term spectroscopic variability of Plaskett's star [PDF]
, 2014 Context. Plaskett's star (HD47129) is a very massive O-star binary in a post Roche-lobe overflow stage. CoRoT observations of this system revealed photometric variability with a number of frequencies. Aims. The aim of this paper is to characterize the variations in spectroscopy and investigate their origin. Methods. To sample its short-term variability,

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 wingspan suspension approach: A modified semilunar technique for multiple areas of recession
Clinical Advances in Periodontics, EarlyView.Abstract Background Gingival recession can be considered an undesirable condition that results in the exposure of the root surface. There are many techniques that can be employed to address gingival recession; however, they frequently involve a second surgical site.
