Anatomical description of the jaw muscles and theoretical bite force assessment in South American opossums using manual and digital dissection methods

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Manual and virtual dissections were employed to examine the masticatory muscle architecture and bite force of three South American marsupials. The organisation of the muscles differed between species, with predicted bite forces exceeding previous estimates.

Desmin is not ubiquitously expressed in head and neck muscle fibers

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Desmin is not ubiquitously expressed in human head and neck muscle fibers. A subset of fibers showed absent or very weak desmin immunoreactivity, with corresponding reduction or absence of desmin mRNA expression. Abstract Desmin, a major muscle‐specific intermediate filament protein, is widely regarded as a ubiquitous component of mature skeletal ...

Spill over preseptal cellulitis from temporalis intramuscular abscess: A rare presentation

Journal of Clinical Ophthalmology and Research, 2014
Predisposing causes of preseptal cellulitis includes sinusitis, impetigo, trauma, chronic dacrocystitis, and external hordeolum. Intramuscular abscess in temporalis muscle as a cause of preseptal cellulitis has never been reported in ophthalmic ...

Effects of Aerobic Exercise and Strength Training on Nociplastic Pain and Clinical Features in Temporomandibular Disorders With Myalgia: A Randomized‐Controlled Trial

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, EarlyView.
In this randomized controlled trial, adding aerobic exercise or strength training to physical therapy improved outcomes in patients with temporomandibular disorders and nociplastic pain. Aerobic exercise produced greater reductions in pain and central sensitization‐related symptoms, whereas strength training improved trapezius muscle strength and long ...

Temporalis Muscle Cavernous Hemangioma in a Pediatric Patient

Archives of Pediatric Neurosurgery
Background: Temporalis muscle hemangiomas are an uncommon entity, even among the rare incidences of intramuscular hemangiomas. They are frequently identified as round, painless, soft lesions beneath the skin that have been growing slowly over time.

Eccentric Occlusal Loads Remodel the Dentoalveolar and Temporomandibular Biomechanical Unit in Rats

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, EarlyView.
Eccentric occlusal loads remodel the dentoalveolar and temporomandibular joints in the masticatory biomechanical unit in rats. (A) Bite block as an occlusal rise (OR) on the rat maxillary first molar (green region) is shown. (B) 18F‐NaF Positron emission tomography localised regions of higher metabolic activity (higher uptake in the left condyle ...

Alterations in Surface Electromyography Are Associated with Subjective Masticatory Muscle Pain

Pain Research and Management, 2019
Background. Tenderness of masseters and temporalis can be considered a relevant tool for diagnosis of myo-type craniofacial pain disorders, but a limit of pain score systems is that they are based on subjective pain perception.

Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy for Feeding and Swallowing in Children From Four to 12 Years: What Does the Evidence Show? A Systematic Review

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, EarlyView.
This systematic review evaluated the effectiveness of orofacial myofunctional therapy (OMT) for improving feeding and swallowing outcomes in children aged 4–12 years. Searches of four databases identified 17 studies, all reporting positive feeding and/or swallowing outcomes, including improved eating and swallowing skills, orofacial muscle function and

Autologous Vascularized Dural Wrapping for Temporalis Muscle Preservation and Reconstruction After Decompressive Craniectomy: report of twenty-five cases [PDF]

, 2013
Temporalis muscle reconstruction is a necessary step during frontotemporal cranioplasty ensuing decompressive craniectomy (DC). During this procedure, scarring between the temporalis muscle and the dural layer may lead to complicated muscle dissection ...
