Odontogenic cysts of the jaws are one most common tumour-like neoplasms maxillofacial region in children. Today, there various methods treating cysts, but childhood, problem choosing a treatment method is relevant and at same time difficult, as some authors prefer cystectomy, while others cystotomy. Purpose - to analyze management jaw children depending on type cyst. Materials methods. A retros...

Background: There is a paucity of information about the oral pathology related articles published in a pathology journal. This study aimed to audit the oral pathology related articles published in Iranian Journal of Pathology (Iran J Pathol)from 2006 to 2015. Methods: Bibliometric analysis of issues of Iran J Pathol from 2006 to 2015 was perf...

background esophageal, stomach, and colorectal cancers are commonly lethal gastrointestinal tract (git) neoplasms, causing almost two million deaths worldwide each year. some environmental risk factors are acknowledged; however, genetic defects can significantly contribute to predisposition to git cancers. accordingly, recent works have shown that single-nucleotide polymorphisms (snps) within m...

The function of the jaw for feeding and speech has long been the discussion of both speechlanguage pathologists and occupational therapists. This article will examine the relationship between jaw movements or jaw skill levels for feeding quality and speech clarity. What has been missing in our discussions concerning jaw function is the role the jaw plays in the development of speech sounds. Inf...

Experiments were performed on human elbow flexor and extensor muscles and jaw-opening and -closing muscles to observe the effect on rhythmic movements of sudden loading. The load was provided by an electromagnetic device, which simulated the appearance of a smoothly increasing spring-like load. The responses to this loading were compared in jaw and elbow movements and between expected and unexp...

Tremulous jaw movements are rapid vertical deflections of the lower jaw that resemble chewing but are not directed at any particular stimulus. In rats, tremulous jaw movements can be induced by a number of conditions that parallel those seen in human parkinsonism, including dopamine depletion, dopamine antagonism, and cholinomimetic drugs. Moreover, tremulous jaw movements in rats can be attenu...

The regulation by muscle spindles of jaw-closing muscle activity during mastication was evaluated in anesthetized rabbits. Simultaneous records were made of the discharges of muscle spindle units in the mesencephalic trigeminal nucleus, masseter and digastric muscle activity (electromyogram [EMG]), and jaw-movement parameters during cortically induced rhythmic jaw movements. One of three test s...

Fabrication of interocclusal splint at a thickness determined by the vertical dimension at which the jaw muscle EMG amplitude is minimum has been recommended. However, the effect of prior jaw motion and the effect of the recording site on the EMG amplitudes and on the vertical dimension of minimum EMG activity have not been documented. IEMG amplitudes at various static jaw positions achieved du...

Exposure to environmental contaminants can disrupt normal development of the early vertebrate skeleton. 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) impairs craniofacial skeletal development across many vertebrate species, and its effects are especially prominent in early life stages of fish. TCDD activates the aryl hydrocarbon receptor, a transcription factor that mediates most if not all TCDD r...

a 25-yr-old iranian woman with incomplete abortion who was diagnosed and scheduled for dilatation and curettage procedures under general anesthesia. after premedication with fentanyl 50µg and midazolam 2mg and enough pre-oxygenation, anesthesia was induced by sodium thiopental 250 mg and succynilcholine 60 mg with mask ventilation. after completion of procedure, the patient had a period of lary...
