Using Deep Learning to Perform Automatic Quantitative Measurement of Masseter and Tongue Muscles in Persons With Dementia: Cross-Sectional Study

Using Deep Learning to Perform Automatic Quantitative Measurement of Masseter and Tongue Muscles in Persons With Dementia: Cross-Sectional Study

Mastication and deglutition muscles such as the masseter and tongue are visible in brain MRI scans [10,11]. These muscles can reflect not only age-associated general muscle decline but also systemic processes due to highly complex interactions with the immune system and the inflammatory response, the nervous system, and the crossroads of several components of the frailty syndrome [12,13].

Objective Analysis of Traditional Chinese Medicine Syndrome Differentiation of Patients With Diabetes and Prediabetes: Protocol for a Nonrandomized, Exploratory, Observational Case-Control Study Using Digitalized Traditional Chinese Medicine Diagnostic Tools

Objective Analysis of Traditional Chinese Medicine Syndrome Differentiation of Patients With Diabetes and Prediabetes: Protocol for a Nonrandomized, Exploratory, Observational Case-Control Study Using Digitalized Traditional Chinese Medicine Diagnostic Tools

Aside from pulse diagnosis, tongue diagnosis is essential in distinguishing TCM syndromes. The practitioner examines the physiological and pathological changes in the tongue and associates them with specific viscera. Figure 2 provides the relationship between the tongue position and the viscera (zang-fu) systems.

Preliminary Assessment of an Ambulatory Device Dedicated to Upper Airway Muscle Training in Patients With Sleep Apnea: Proof-of-Concept Study

The second cavity is located in the back portion of the mouthpiece (behind the incisors) and has a thin back wall where the tip of the tongue is positioned during tongue exercises. Both cavities have tunnels connecting them to the front of the mouthpiece, where connectors can be installed to 2 distinct pressure transducers. The changes in cavity volume produced by thin wall deformation from lip or tongue movements increase the respective inner pressure.
