Macrocheilia is a challenging problem with a variety of underlying causes that are both local and systemic, and granulomatous causes underlie the majority of cases. In this study, we report on a 31-year old man who presented with a chronic lower lip enlargement and a nodular submental erythematous lesion. He was otherwise clinically healthy. Laboratory test results were within the normal limit ...

The present paper focuses on non-linear pattern matching based on the Logarithmic Image Processing (LIP) Model. Our contribution consists first of using the scalar multiplication defined in the LIP context to extend the little-known Asplünd’s metric to gray level images. Such a metric is explainable as a novel technique of double-sided image probing and presents the decisive advantage of being ...

Although it is well established that regions of premotor cortex (PMC) are active during action observation, it remains controversial whether they play a causal role in action understanding. In the experiment reported here, we used off-line continuous theta-burst stimulation (cTBS) to investigate this question. Participants received cTBS over the hand and lip areas of left PMC, in separate sessi...

In rats, some parvocellular paraventricular neurons project to spinal autonomic centers. Using the virus tracing technique, we have demonstrated that magnocellular neurons, but not supraoptic also preganglionic centers of mammary gland, gingiva, or lip. A part these has shown oxytocin immunoreactivity. present experiment, examined whether same neuron sends fibers retina eye projects posterior p...
