The word
"masticatory" refers to anything related to chewing or the act of chewing food.
Full definition

masticatory muscle myositis; I don't think it is connected to the treatment he was receiving.
A biopsy from the temporalis muscle is also recommended to determine the severity
of masticatory muscle myositis.

with masticatory muscle myositis produce antibodies against the 2M muscle fibers.
Recently, deterioration of
masticatory function due to aging and the consequent reduction of brain function has become major problems.
We sent in a blood sample to the University of California as they are the only school that tests blood for a condition
called Masticatory Muscle Myositis.
Researchers found that growth of the maxillofacial bone and muscle were suppressed in mice with reduced
masticatory stimuli by feeding with powder food.
Furthermore, by simply slicing meat and pounding USOs, hominins would have improved their ability to chew meat into smaller particles by 41 %, reduced the number of chews per year by another 5 %, and
decreased masticatory force requirements by an additional 12 %.
We find that if meat comprised one - third of the diet, the number of chewing cycles per year would have declined by nearly 2 million (a 13 % reduction) and total
masticatory force required would have declined by 15 %.
Immune - mediated and infectious diseases of the nerves and muscles (
including masticatory muscle myositis, polymyositis, neuritis)
Thus, the authors demonstrated that the changes
in masticatory stimuli can modulate neurogenesis and neuronal activity in the hippocampus, functionally contributing to cognitive function.
Masticatory stimulation has influence on the development of the central nervous system as well as the growth of maxillofacial tissue in children.
In order to prevent disorders of brain functions including that related to memory and learning, it is an urgent task to elucidate the linkage
between masticatory function and brain function.
Research interests: Dental functional morphology;
Masticatory biomechanics; Three dimensional geometric morphometric methods; Platyrrhine evolution; Caribbean and Neotropical mammalian evolution and biogeography; Caribbean extinction
Although cooking has important benefits, it appears that selection for
smaller masticatory features in Homo would have been initially made possible by the combination of using stone tools and eating meat.
These features are associated with
huge masticatory anatomy — the bones and muscle attachments of the jaws.
This disorder is also called
masticatory myalgia and is associated with pain due to problems in muscles that support chewing.
Cancer found within the body can cause an immune reaction,
causing masticatory muscle myositis.
Strychnine poisoning and
chronic masticatory myositis are other culprits, while tick - borne diseases are also known for causing sunken eyes along with many other symptoms.
Progressive retinal atrophy (PRA), glaucoma, enamel hypoplasia, Legg - Perthe's disease, leg bone breaks in young dogs, patellar luxation, autoimmune diseases, hemangiosarcoma, congenital megaesophagus, progressive periodontal disease, portosystemic shunts,
masticatory myopathy, vitreous degeneration, cataracts, lens luxation, color dilution alopecia, and epilepsy.
This paradoxical combination of increased energy demands along with
decreased masticatory and digestive capacities is hypothesized to have been made possible by adding meat to the diet, by mechanically processing food using stone tools or by cooking.
Management of oral diseases,
including masticatory myositis, stomatitis, oral manifestations of autoimmune diseases, and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders
This research suggests that maintaining or strengthening of
masticatory function would be effective in preventing dementia and memory / learning dysfunction.
Our veterinary partner examined him and found that the muscle atrophy over Andrew's head is likely due to an auto - immune disease
called masticatory myositis and it does not affect his movement or eating.
Early detection
of masticatory muscle myositis is important to a good prognosis.
For example, as the researcher points out, the lower jaw / inner ear module shows dependences between bones associated
with masticatory muscles and which would not associate otherwise (jaw to parietal, temporal and occipital) as well as inner ear bones.
Response to treatment of
masticatory myositis varies between patients and severity; it may take two to four weeks to regain function again.
It promotes proper and sequential contraction of the tongue and
masticatory muscles and provides stimuli to the posterior oral area where the nipple is drawn.
The second camp thinks it stems from the mechanical stresses of eating:
the masticatory hypothesis.
But earlier this year, anthropologist Nathan Holton and his University of Iowa colleagues published a paper disputing
the masticatory hypothesis.
They, too, criticized
the masticatory hypothesis, saying if the chin evolved to aid chewing, it should be the same size in men and women.
In some cases the expression of sagittal crests was also used to infer
the masticatory habits [chewing habits] of a given group on the basis that species with powerful masticatory needs would need an increased area of attachment of the masticatory muscles, and the sagittal crest was a way to increase the muscle anchor area.
The autoimmune condition MMM (
masticatory muscle myositis) that prevents dogs from swallowing can appear after vaccination.
Inflammation within
the masticatory muscles can develop as pre-cancerous and then turn into cancer.
Severe cases of
masticatory muscle myositis may require surgery to remove a portion of the front jaw, allowing your dog to be able to lap water and food.
Therefore,
masticatory muscle myositis is inflammation of the muscles in the jaw and temple.
The masticatory muscles are used in chewing.
If the cause is
masticatory muscle myositis then corticosteroids would be the treatment of choice.
Masticatory myositis when treated promptly has a good prognosis, the problem is when the condition becomes chronic scarring can occur in the muscle leaving treatment ineffective and the prognosis poor.
The body produces antibodies that will target parts of
the masticatory muscles.
German Shepherd Dogs and Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are predisposed to
masticatory muscle myositis.
With early detection,
masticatory muscle myositis can be treated successfully.
Some form of an infectious agent, parasite or virus within the muscle can cause inflammation within
the masticatory muscles.
The symptoms of
masticatory muscle myositis can vary depending on the muscles that are affected.
Difficulty to open the mouth may be caused may
masticatory muscle myositis, temporomandibular joint ankylosis, nerve injury, dental issues among other causes.
Then they continue through adulthood to keep
their masticatory (chewing) muscles strong, their teeth clean, and their brain engaged.
However, a few months back, she came down with an awful autoimmune disorder (
Masticatory Myositis).
