Assessment of the potential role of muscle spindle mechanoreceptor afferents in chronic muscle pain in the rat masseter muscle
(2010-06)Background: The phenotype of large diameter sensory afferent neurons changes in several models of neuropathic pain. We asked if similar changes also occur in ‘‘functional’’ pain syndromes. Methodology/Principal Findings: Acidic saline (AS, pH 4.0) ... -
An astrocyte-dependent mechanism for neuronal rhythmogenesis
(2015-06)Communication between neurons rests on their capacity to change their firing pattern to encode different messages. For several vital functions, such as respiration and mastication, neurons need to generate a rhythmic firing pattern. Here we show in the ... -
Ion homeostasis in rhythmogenesis : the interplay between neurons and astroglia
(2015-09)Proper function of all excitable cells depends on ion homeostasis. Nowhere is this more critical than in the brain where the extracellular concentration of some ions determines neurons' firing pattern and ability to encode information. Several neuronal ... -
GABAergic control of action potential propagation along axonal branches of mammalian sensory neurons
(2003-03)The main axons of mammalian sensory neurons are usually viewed as passive transmitters of sensory information. However, the spindle afferents of jaw-closing muscles behave as if action potential traffic along their central axons is phasically regulated ... -
Cariology education in Canadian dental schools: where are we? Where do we need to go?
(2017)The aim of this study was to document cariology education across Canadian dental schools. Ten faculty members who supervise cariology education at each of the ten Canadian dental schools were invited to participate in the study in 2016. An adapted ... -
Intraosseous Schwannoma of the Jaws: An Updated Review of the Literature and Report of 2 New Cases Affecting the Mandible
(2017)Schwannomas are benign nerve sheath neoplasms composed almost entirely of Schwann cells. These tumors most often arise in the soft tissues of the head and neck. However, seldom do they occur within bone. This article presents a rare case of a recurrent ... -
Diagnosis and management of benign fibro-osseous lesions of the jaws: a current review for the dental clinician
(2017-05-31)Benign fibro-osseous lesions of the maxillofacial skeleton constitute a heterogeneous group of disorders that includes developmental, reactive (dysplastic) and neoplastic lesions. Although their classification has been reviewed multiple times in the ... -
Oral pyoderma gangrenosum: diagnosis, treatment and challenges: a systematic review
(2017-12-31)Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is a distinctive ulcerative skin disorder of unknown etiology, associated with an underlying systemic disease in up to 70% of cases. The condition is characterized by the appearance of one or more necrotic ulcers with a ...
