In this paper, we investigate a grammaticalized facial expression in American Sign Language (ASL) called flat chin, which propose functions as general-purpose domain widener, targeting both quantificational domains well the scales used by gradable predicates. Our analysis allows for chin to target nearly any involving domain, and is based on Morzycki's (2012) of extreme degree modifiers. Such a...

This paper describes a case of mental nerve neuralgia following a traumatic dislodgement of a chin implant ten months after surgery. Our case is unusual, both in the specific complication and the patients' atypical representation-delayed and initially without mention of trauma. To the authors' knowledge, this case has not been reported previously in the literature. We review the complications o...

Present investigations provide baseline data on the distribution of morphogenetic traits: ear lobe attachment, nose tip and chin fissure; behavioural traits: hand clasping, arm folding, handedness, leg folding and tongue rolling among five endogamous groups of Haryana i.e. Kumhar, Nai, Luhar, Saini and Bania. Among these traits, hand clasping, leg folding and tongue rolling showed homogeneous d...

My own motor driver, a Mahommedan male, aged about 27, came running to me one day about March 1933 in great terror holding a handkerchief to his chin, which was soaking wet with blood. He said he had suddenly discovered blood oozing out of his chin and had tried to stop it but in vain. The handkerchief was soaked in about 15 minutes. On examination after cleaning the part I found a bead of bloo...

Purpose. To compare errors in digital panoramic radiographs of permanent and mixed dentitions. Methods. 143 and 146 digital radiographs of mixed and permanent dentitions were examined. Results. Significantly fewer errors presented in the mixed dentition. Positioning too forward significantly prevalent in the mixed dentition; slumped position and nonpositioning of chin properly were significantl...

Thirteen patients were treated for elevation of the maxillary sinus floor with autogenous or composite (autogenous bone + hydroxyapatite granules) bone grafts and endosseous implants. Bone biopsies were taken both at graft positioning and at implant placement. Histologic and histomorphometric results suggest that graft architecture, conformation, and composition may influence the mean bone cont...

Introduction The chin-tuck maneuver is the most frequently employed postural maneuver in the treatment of neurogenic oropharyngeal dysphagia caused by encephalic vascular strokes and degenerative diseases. Objective The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of this maneuver in patients with neurogenic dysphagia and factors that could interfere in it. Methods In this retrosp...
