introduction diabetic foot is a clinical disorder, which is commonly seen in patients with diabetes mellitus. it is also the major cause of below knee amputation in the world. there are many underlying causes such as neuropathic, ischemic, and infectious causes for diabetic foot. local or systemic complications may develop after snake bite. case presentation we reported a very rare case, involv...

Lymphocytic meningoradiculitis of Bannwarth is often associated with a tick bite and erythema chronicum migrans, and therefore may be a European counterpart of Lyme disease in North America. Of nine patients with lymphocytic meningoradiculitis studied at the Neurologic Clinic in Lund, Sweden, six were found to have elevated antibody titers to the Lyme spirochete. These studies support the concl...

Bite mechanics and feeding behaviour in Tyrannosaurus rex are controversial. Some contend that a modest bite mechanically limited T. rex to scavenging, while others argue that high bite forces facilitated a predatory mode of life. We use dynamic musculoskeletal models to simulate maximal biting in T. rex. Models predict that adult T. rex generated sustained bite forces of 35 000-57 000 N at a s...

Although considered a safe modality for monitoring spinal cord function, motor evoked potentials (MEP) may cause tongue laceration in rare cases. Bite blocks are essential in order to prevent tongue and mucosal injury during monitoring with MEP, but there is no consensus on the ideal bite block to use for this purpose. Potential concerns include tongue necrosis from prolonged use of an oral air...

The Cu(I) atom in the title compund, [Cu(C(7)H(2)Br(3)O(2))(C(19)H(17)P)(2)], is located on a twofold rotation axis; the 3,5,7-tribromo-tropolonate anion coordinates as a bidentate ligand with a bite angle of 76.42 (9)°. An intra-molecular C-H⋯O inter-action occurs. Within the crystal, extensive weak C-H⋯π inter-actions contribute to the herringbone pattern observed in the packing of the mol-ec...

Models of mammalian mastication predict that bite force is affected by both the degree of mouth opening (gape angle) and the point along the tooth row at which force is transferred to a food item (bite point). Despite the widespread use of these models in comparative analyses, experimental data documenting bite force in non-human mammals are extremely limited. The goal of this study is to docum...

BACKGROUND Food texture plays an important role in food intake regulation. In previous studies we showed a clear effect of viscosity on ad libitum food intake and found indications that eating rate, bite size, and oral processing time (OPT) could play a role. OBJECTIVE The objective was to determine the effect of bite size and OPT of a food on satiation, defined as ad libitum food intake. D...
