Initial-Stage Suicide Bereavement Experiences: A Case Study.
2022
This study aimed to shed light on the initial-stage bereavement experiences of an individual bereaved by suicide, at three months from the loss of his spouse to suicide. A semi-structured in-depth interview was conducted with the individual, a man in his thirties. The data were analyzed using qualitative assimilation analysis, based on the Assimilation Model and the Assimilation of Problematic Experiences Scale (APES). The APES ratings of the interview revealed that the individual’s bereavement was associated with the earlier stages of APES (all scoring under 3.5). In addition, the swift and frequent fluctuations in the APES ratings gave indications that the bereavement was unstable and co…

Tensor tympani muscle: strange chewing muscle
2007
This work seeks to alert medical and odontological staff to understanding and using interdisciplinary handling for detecting different pathologies’ common otic symptoms. It offers better tools for this shared symptomatology during therapy’s conservative phase. Tensor tympani muscle physiology and function in the middle ear have been veiled, even when their dysfunction and anatomical relationships may explain a group of confused otic symptoms during conventional clinical evaluation. Middle ear muscles share a common embryological and functional origin with chewing and facial muscles. This article emphasizes that these muscles share a functional neurological and anatomical dimension with the …
Saliva in Food … How does it drive sensory perception?
2014
Saliva is a highly complex body fluid composed of many proteins, peptides, small organic molecules and ions. Saliva is produced and secreted by major and minor salivary glands to protect the mouth and to participate to the digestion. Generally distinction is made between resting saliva that is a result of autonomic stimulation, and stimulated saliva that is produced during chewing and taste stimulation. The link between saliva and sensory perception can be thus regarded through two main angles: the role of resting saliva as a background taste and the mechanistic role of saliva during eating. Indeed resting saliva (and its components) is continuously bathing our oral cavity and as such stimu…
Flavour & saliva interaction – a brief overview
2015
Saliva is a highly complex body fluid composed of many proteins, peptides, small organic molecules and ions. Saliva is secreted at rest and during eating by major and minor salivary glands. Resting saliva is continuously bathing our oral cavity and as such stimulates our taste receptors playing thus a role in taste sensitivity against some active taste substances. Beside, during eating, foods are chewed and a significant level of stimulated saliva is rapidly incorporated in the bolus. This in-mouth phenomena impact on flavor release and thus perception through saliva-food physical interactions but also through the action of biological compounds (enzymes mainly) against the food matrix. Sali…
Tonsillolith : a report of three clinical cases
2007
Tonsillolith is a rare dystrophic calcification as a result of chronic inflammation of the tonsils. Three asymptomatic cases of tonsillolith are reported, incidentally discovered through panoramic radiographs, which showed different sizes of radiopaque images, varying from 2 to 5mm; cases I and III images did not overlap the mandible ramus, which led to a probable diagnosis of soft tissue calcification. Case II had radiopaque unilateral images, with osseous tissue density, overlapping the mandibular ramus, leading to a benign intra-osseous lesion, which was considered as differential diagnosis. No symptoms were reported in any case. Only case I had clinical characteristics, showing highly c…
Improving the Effect of Transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation (tACS): A Systematic Review
2021
With the development of electrical stimulation technology, traditional transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) technology has been found to have the drawback of not targeting a specific area accurately. Studies have shown that optimizing the number and position of electrodes during electrical stimulation has a very good effect on enhancing brain stimulation accuracy. At present, an increasing number of laboratories have begun to optimize tACS. However, there has been no study summarizing the optimization methods of tACS. Determining whether different optimization methods are effective and the optimization approach could provide information that could guide future tACS research. …
