The Cross-Sectional Area of the Middle and Base of the Tongue is Associated with Swallowing-Related Muscle Strength
Muscle strength and function are generally positively correlated with muscle quantity and negatively correlated with muscle quality; however, the...

Role of MRI in Evaluation of Tongue and Hypopharyngeal Lesions
Tongue is a complex, principally muscular structure extending from oral cavity to oropharynx. Hypopharynx extends from the level of hyoid bone and to...

Comparing the Tongue and Lip Strength and Endurance of Children with Down Syndrome with Their Typical Peers Using IOPI
Muscular hypotonia is a feature of Down syndrome (DS), and it affects the tongue and lips. A study on oral dysfunction in children with DS concluded...

Changes in the Activation Level of the Floor of the Mouth Muscles during Pressing and Swallowing Tasks According to the Degree of Tongue Pressure
The suprahyoid muscles play an important role in protecting the airway by elevating both the hyoid bone and larynx superior-anteriorly during...
-
Relationship Between Submental Superficial Layer Hardness and Tongue Pressure Determined Using a Tissue Durometer
Aging affects the tongue and suprahyoid muscles, causing dysphagia and undernutrition. We hypothesized that tongue function would affect submental...

Algorithmically designed flaps in tongue reconstruction: a feasibility analysis
PurposeDespite the significance and complexity of tongue reconstruction surgery, a digital tool for flap design is currently lacking. This study...
-
Survival among treated tongue cancer patients: a single-center experience
ObjectiveTo describe overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) in a cohort of tongue cancer patients, together with the corresponding...
