Assessing the microstructure of simple rhamphothecae in chickens (Aves: Galliformes: Gallus gallus domesticus)

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Simple rhamphotheca are externally homogeneous but internally are composed of several corneous layers with varying hardness. Areas under more mechanical stress such as the rostral portion and the tomia are significantly harder than other areas. Abstract Corneous sheaths on the jaws of beaked tetrapods, or rhamphothecae, are classified as simple or ...

The variability of giraffe skull morphology

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
What does giraffe skull shape tell us about their development and evolution? Abstract Giraffe (Giraffa spp.) are among the most unique and charismatic extant animals, largely due to their distinct morphology. The evolutionary and developmental origin of ossicones is a key factor in giraffid biology, yet other features building their characteristic head

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.

Multiparametric Ultrasonographic Phenotyping of the Masseter Muscle in Temporomandibular Disorders and Clinically Defined Probable Bruxism

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, EarlyView.
Multiparametric masseter ultrasonography combines B‐mode morphometry, CSA‐derived sonographic estimated volume, strain elastography and fractal‐dimension texture analysis to characterise masseter muscle phenotypes in adults classified by temporomandibular disorder status and clinically defined probable bruxism‐positive phenotype.

3D Analysis of Mandibular and Glenoid Fossa Responses to Bone‐Anchored Maxillary Protraction in Patients With UCLP

Orthodontics &Craniofacial Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Bone‐anchored maxillary protraction (BAMP) has been increasingly used to correct midface deficiency and Class III malocclusion in patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP). However, its three‐dimensional (3D) effects on the mandible remain insufficiently explored.
