Grace with her baggy jowls of submental fat and deep playsmal bands around her neck. ❋ Palahniuk, Chuck (2003)
Gular peduncle: in Coleopteran = submental peduncle. ❋ John. B. Smith (N/A)
Gula: the throat: that sclerite forming the central portion of the head beneath, extending from the submental to the posterior margin, and laterally bounded by the genae. ❋ John. B. Smith (N/A)
The anterior part contains the submaxillary gland, superficial to which is the anterior facial vein, while imbedded in the gland is the external maxillary artery and its glandular branches; beneath the gland, on the surface of the Mylohyoideus, are the submental artery and the mylohyoid artery and nerve. ❋ Unknown (1918)
Both superficial and deep vessels of the central part of the lower lip run to the submental glands. ❋ Unknown (1918)
Below the mandible it receives the submental, palatine, and submaxillary veins, and, generally, the vena comitans of the hypoglossal nerve. ❋ Unknown (1918)
The incisor branch is continued forward beneath the incisor teeth as far as the middle line, where it anastomoses with the artery of the opposite side; the mental branch escapes with the nerve at the mental foramen, supplies the chin, and anastomoses with the submental and inferior labial arteries. ❋ Unknown (1918)
It varies in its size and in the extent to which it supplies the face; it occasionally ends as the submental, and not infrequently extends only as high as the angle of the mouth or nose. ❋ Unknown (1918)
The vessels of the anterior part of the floor of the mouth pass either directly to the inferior glands of the superior deep cervical group, or indirectly through the submental glands; from the rest of the floor of the mouth the vessels pass to the submaxillary and superior deep cervical glands. ❋ Unknown (1918)
One branch runs behind the alveolar process of the mandible in the substance of the gum to anastomose with a similar artery from the other side; another pierces the Mylohyoideus and anastomoses with the submental branch of the external maxillary artery. ❋ Unknown (1918)
The submental or suprahyoid glands are situated between the anterior bellies of the Digastrici. ❋ Unknown (1918)
The afferents of the submaxillary glands drain the medial palpebral commissure, the cheek, the side of the nose, the upper lip, the lateral part of the lower lip, the gums, and the anterior part of the margin of the tongue; efferent vessels from the facial and submental glands also enter the submaxillary glands. ❋ Unknown (1918)
The disease spreads early to the submental and submaxillary glands, which are best felt with one finger inside the mouth, under the tongue, and another outside, behind the mandible. ❋ Alexander Miles (1893)
The _lymph vessels_ of the anterior two-thirds of the tongue drain into the submental and submaxillary glands, and these in turn into the deep cervical group which accompany the internal jugular vein. ❋ Alexander Miles (1893)
For the complete removal of the disease it is necessary to excise the tissues in the floor of the mouth, and a variable portion of the tongue and mandible, and to clear out the glands and fat from the submaxillary and submental regions. ❋ Alexander Miles (1893)
The submental and submaxillary lymph glands on one or on both sides soon become enlarged, and may reach the size of a pigeon's egg. ❋ Alexander Miles (1893)
KYTHERA has completed extensive development work on ATX-101 for the reduction of submental fat, completing seven clinical trials with more than 350 subjects.
Proceeds from this financing are slated to be used for conducting US Phase III trials for KYTHERA's lead product, ATX-101, a first-in-class, injectable drug that is under investigation for the reduction of submental 'under the chin' fat.
He said this is the first step towards "a well-studied, clinically-proven treatment to reduce localized submental fat without surgery." ❋ [email protected] (2011)
According to a recent national, multi-center, clinical evaluation of more than 385 BOTOX® and dermal filler patients, 78% of patients had a measurable excess of submental fat. ❋ Unknown (2010)
