Palato gingival grooves, also called palatoradicular grooves or radicular lingual grooves are developmental anomalies in which an infolding of the inner enamel epithelium and Hertwig’s epithelial root sheath create a groove that passes from the cingulam and extend varying distances apically on to the root. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of palato gingival groove in ma...

Different models for minor groove structures predict that the conformation is essentially fixed by sequence and has an influence on local ion distribution or alternatively that temporal positions of ions around the minor groove can affect the structure if they neutralize cross-strand phosphate charges. Our previous studies show that the minor groove in an AATT dodecamer responds to local sodium...

OBJECTIVE A groove technique for securing an electrode connector was described as an alternative surgical technique in deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery to avoid electrode connector-related complications, such as skin erosion, infection, and migration. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 109 patients undergoing one of two techniques; the standard technique (52 patients using 104 electrodes...

Groove is the experience of wanting to move when hearing music, such as snapping fingers or tapping feet. This is a central aspect of much music, in particular of music intended for dancing. While previous research has found considerable consistency in ratings of groove across individuals, it remains unclear how groove is induced, that is, what are the physical properties of the acoustic signal...

Groove pancreatitis is a special form of chronic pancreatitis in which scarring is found mainly in the groove between the pancreatic head, duodenum, and common bile duct. Preoperative differentiation between groove pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer is difficult. Here we report one case of segmental groove pancreatitis diagnosed by clinical and radiological features. The patient was a 46-year o...

The urge to move in response to music, combined with the positive affect associated with the coupling of sensory and motor processes while engaging with music (referred to as sensorimotor coupling) in a seemingly effortless way, is commonly described as the feeling of being in the groove. Here, we systematically explore this compelling phenomenon in a population of young adults. We utilize mult...

Three and five millilitre of india ink were injected bilaterally into the costal groove of the 9th or 10th ribs of 14 cadavers. The spread was observed and the costal groove of the rib injected was dissected, with the one above and one below. Nunn and Slavin's study (1980) of similar injections in two cadavers indicated that an injection of one costal groove blocked not only the intercostal ner...

OBJECTIVE To present a clinical classification of the lip-cheek groove. DESIGN The clinical classification, which is based on years of analysis, will provide optimal management options for achieving the greatest degree of correction and rejuvenation of the lip-cheek groove. RESULTS The use of the clinical classification of the lip-cheek groove will guide the surgeon to the management option...

Structural color printing based on all-aluminum plasmonic V-groove metasurfaces is demonstrated under both bright field and dark field illumination conditions. A broad visible color range is realized with the plasmonic V-groove arrays etched on an aluminum surface by simply varying the groove depth while keeping the groove period as a constant. Polarization dependent structural color printing i...
