Major salivary gland aplasia and hypoplasia in Down syndrome: review of the literature and report of a case
(2017-05)
Salivary gland aplasia and hypoplasia are rarely described in the medical
literature. This article presents a case of aplasia and hypoplasia of the major
salivary glands in a patient with Down syndrome. A ...
Activation of Smad2 but not Smad3 is required to mediate TGF-β signaling during axolotl limb regeneration
(2016-10-01)
Axolotls are unique among vertebrates in their ability to regenerate
tissues, such as limbs, tail and skin. The axolotl limb is the most
studied regenerating structure. The process is well characterized
morphologically; ...
A swelling of the lateral hard palate

Oral-facial tissue reconstruction in the regenerative axolotl
(2016-12)
Absence of large amounts of orofacial tissues caused by cancerous resections, congenital
defects or trauma result in sequelae such as dysphagia and noticeable scars. Oral-neck tissue
regeneration was studied in the axolotl ...
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 ...
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: ...
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 ...
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 ...
Chronic pain and pain processing in Parkinson’s disease
(2017-10-12)
Pain is experienced by the vast majority of patients living with Parkinson’s disease. It is most often of nociceptive origin, but may also be ascribed to neuropathic (radicular or central) or miscellaneous sources. The ...
Drug-induced parkinsonism: diagnosis and management
(2016-09-23)
Drug-induced parkinsonism (DIP) has been known for >60 years. It is the second leading cause of parkinsonism, but still underdiagnosis is likely to influence reported incidence figures. Since DIP is clinically undistinguishable ...
