متن کاملDoes Helicobacter pylori treatment improve the symptoms of globus hystericus?
BACKGROUND/AIMS Globus hystericus is a feeling of tension in the throat, irrelevant of swallowing, persisting for at least 12 weeks. Since the cause of globus hystericus is not fully described, the treatment is controversial. We aimed in this study to determine the symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease, upper gastrointestinal endoscopic findings, prevalence of Helicobacter pylori,and post...
متن کاملTitle: Patterns of covariation in the masticatory apparatus of hystricognathous rodents: implications for evolution and diversification. Running head: Patterns of covariation in the masticatory apparatus of hystricognaths Authors:
The mammalian masticatory apparatus is a highly plastic region of the skull. In this study, a quantification of shape variation, the separation of phylogeny from ecology in the genesis of shape brings new insights on the relationships between morphological changes in the cranium, mandible, and muscle architecture. Our study focuses on the Ctenohystrica, a clade that is remarkably diverse and ex...
متن کاملThe functional morphology of the anterior masticatory apparatus in tree-gouging marmosets (Cebidae, Primates).
Although all genera of Callitrichinae feed on tree exudates, marmosets (Callithrix and Cebuella) use specialized anterior teeth to gouge holes in trees and actively stimulate exudate flow. Behavioral studies demonstrate that marmosets use large jaw gapes but do not appear to generate large bite forces (relative to maximal ability) during gouging. Nonetheless, the anterior teeth of marmosets lik...
