Introduction Infrared thermography has the potential to help assess human head and neck muscles, as thermal variation measurements due to muscle imbalance can contribute to the evaluation and therapeutic follow‐up of various clinical conditions in the field of health. Objective This study investigated, with a scoping review, the use of infrared thermography in complementary assessments of human head and neck muscles to determine the extent of research on the topic, what methodologies are used in thermal assessment and thermographic analysis, what regions are assessed, and what results are expected in thermography. Methods LILACS, MEDLINE, SciELO, and Web of Science were the databases searched to identify articles published on the topic, with no restriction of language or time of publication. Descriptive, analytical, and experimental observational studies on the assessment of the human head and neck muscle surface temperature with infrared thermography were included. Case studies, case series, methodological accuracy, literature review, animal studies, studies that assessed patients with head and neck cancer, and studies that did not assess head and neck muscle temperature with thermography were excluded. The articles were analysed with a protocol developed by the authors, with data on author, year, country, type of study, sample characterisation, muscles assessed, outcomes investigated, thermal assessment methodology, thermographic analysis methodology and thermography measurements. Results This review identified and analysed 27 articles. The studies assessed thermal distribution in normal individuals and those with pathologies related to hyper‐ and hypofunctional head and neck muscle conditions for diagnosis or therapeutic follow‐up. The masseter, temporal, digastric, anterior cervical region, orbicularis oris, frontalis, buccinator, suprahyoid, trapezius, sternocleidomastoid and levator scapulae muscles were assessed. Quantitative analyses with area selection tool predominated, considering absolute temperatures and temperature differences. The studies investigated temperature and its relationship with myogenic pain, quantitative assessment of muscle parameters and blood flow velocity. The mean temperature ranged from 32.97°C (±2.21) to 34.90°C, and hyper‐radiant and/or asymmetric regions were observed in hyperfunctional conditions and normal subjects after muscle activation. Conclusion Thermography is used in complementary assessments of head and neck muscles, identifying hyper‐radiant regions and thermal asymmetry related to muscle tension and activation state. Papers are limited to specific clinical conditions and few muscle groups, besides having great methodological variability.

“…By manipulating the structure of this thin support film, a sensor's biocatalytic efficiency can be easily achieved to produce an effective and accurate immunological analysis. 18 Many approaches are adopted via the use of polymeric thin films such as poly(vinyl alcohol), 11,19,20 nylon, 4,21-23 cellulose acetate, 24,25 poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF), 18,26 and acrylonitrile copolymer 27,28 as the support platform for an immunosensor. Among these polymeric thin films, nylon is the most desirable material and is proven to be a suitable immobilization platform.…”

The present study elucidates the morphology characteristic of nylon‐6 as protein immobilization film and their influences in biological recognition interface for a single‐use electrochemical immunosensor. A basic requirement of this polymer platform is to allow the testing analyte [conductive polyaniline‐Fe2O3‐glutaraldehyde‐conjugated‐N‐hydroxysuccinimidobiotin (PANI‐Fe2O3‐GA‐b‐NHS)] to access to the immobilized capture reagent [bovine serum albumin (BSA)] on a surface of the nylon‐6 film. As an immunoassay, the biochemical reaction between PANI‐Fe2O3‐GA‐b‐NHS and BSA takes place on a surface of the nylon‐6 support film, which then translated into measurable resistance signal through pulse‐mode measurement. The in‐house developed nylon‐6 film, N‐16B, with 16 wt % nylon polymer and methanol as nonsolvent had demonstrated the fastest lateral wicking speed (1.07 mm s−1) and excellent protein immobilization capacity (1650 ± 85.84 μg cm−3), leading to the higher electrical current signal with a minimal resistance of electrochemical responses (0.57 ± 0.04 MΩ). This work reflects the importance of the physical characteristics of the nylon‐6 film that determines the sensitivity and effectiveness of an immunosensor. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl.

Background. The study of the area of the crown part of the tooth, especially its occlusal surface, as well as the degree of differentiation and reduction are of great importance when conducting reconstructive therapy, but unfortunately, these studies caused technical difficulties for researchers, it was not possible to mathematically determine the specifics of the surface and calculate it. In this study, we performed a morphometric study of tooth areas using modern methods of computer diagnostics and recording the data on electronic media. Objectives ― measuring the area of the occlusal surface of intact molars and human premolars with varying degrees of differentiation using modern scanning capabilities of complex surfaces. Methods. The object of the study was 200 teeth of intact teeth of individuals of the Caucasian race, aged 18 to 30 years (50 molars of the upper jaw, 50 molars of the upper jaw, 50 molars of the lower jaw, 50 molars of the lower jaw ), removed according to orthodontic and surgical (fracture of the jaw) indications. A morphometric study of tooth areas was carried out using modern methods of computer diagnostics, the Avantis 3D program and recording the data on electronic media. Results. Using modern methods of scanning human teeth, information has been obtained on the area of the occlusal surface of molars and premolars. Knowledge of the anatomical and topographic features of teeth, taking into account their individual microarchitectonics, is of great importance when conducting reconstructive therapy. Conclusions. The ability to restore the occlusal surface of the teeth with a different degree of differentiation will allow dentists to improve the technology of restoration of tooth crowns based on the principles of biomimetics, taking into account the morphofunctional features of the human dentition.
