Expression of myosin heavy chain isoform mRNA transcripts in the masseter and medial pterygoid muscles

Ciurana, Neus; Artells, Rosa; Casado, Aroa; Potau, Josep Maria.

Int. j. morphol; 39 (5), 2021

SUMMARY: Both the masseter and medial pterygoid muscles elevate the mandible, raising the lower jaw by acting simultaneously on the lateral and medial surfaces of the mandibular ramus. Nevertheless, electromyographic studies indicate that these muscles, as well as the superficial and deep heads of the ma...

Abstract Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is characterized by left ventricular hypertrophy without apparent cardiac justification. Sudden cardiac death may be the first manifestation of the disease. It occurs mainly in adulthood and can be seen in childhood and adolescence where genetic origin predomina...

Arq. bras. cardiol; 107 (3), 2016

Abstract Background: Mutations in sarcomeric genes are found in 60-70% of individuals with familial forms of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). However, this estimate refers to northern hemisphere populations. The molecular-genetic profile of HCM has been subject of few investigations in Brazil, particu...
