Human papillomavirus (HPV), most commonly HPV16, causes a growing subset of head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCCs), including the overwhelming majority oropharynx in many developed countries. Circulating biomarkers for HPV-positive HNSCC may allow earlier diagnosis, with potential to decrease morbidity mortality. This case-control study evaluated whether circulating tumor HPV DNA (ctHPVDNA) is detectable prediagnostic plasma from individuals later diagnosed HNSCC. Cases were...
Background: Squamous cell carcinoma is the most common malignancy in oral cavity and typically arises from a group of precancerous lesions known as potentially malignant disorders.Types studies reviewed: A comprehensive review literature was completed by searching PubMed electronic database using combination search terms: disorders, leukoplakia, proliferative verrucous erythroplakia, lichen planus, actinic cheilitis, smokeless tobacco keratosis, submucous fibrosis palatal associated with...
Paradoxical masseteric bulging refers to an unexpected occurrence of masseter muscle or protrusion following the administration botulinum toxin injections, contrary anticipated weakening effect. It may occur secondary failing diffuse through entire due presence inferior tendon structure within superficial that divides it into a and deep belly. We report clinical case paradoxical in female her late 40s who developed this adverse effect week neurotoxin type A injections. also describe two-site...
Osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) is necrosis mandibular or maxillary bone, which sometimes leads to bone exposure and sequestration. There evidence that microenvironment marrow stromal system severely irreversibly damaged after haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) leading a deficit in quantity quality osteoblastic progenitors, compromising ability regenerate normal osteogenic population abnormality remodelling/turnover. While osteonecrosis appendicular skeleton common complication...
Although CF has been a target of gene therapy for decades, no viable approach is proven successful so far. Here, we attempted transplantation hematopoietic stem and precursor cells (HSPCs) containing wild-type Cftr into Cftr-deficient mice to study restoration CFTR function especially in non-epithelial cells. To accomplish this, transplanted bone marrow from the BL6 deficient generate chimeras, namely CFB6 CFCF. In fact, showed significant increased survival upon Pseudomonas aeruginosa...
Background Diagnosing the source of dental pain can be challenging for even most experienced dentist, particularly in cases patients with chronic pain, which may present less localized and nonspecific symptoms.
A 72-year-old man was referred by his general dentist to our oral medicine and dentistry clinic for evaluation of a swelling the right hard soft palatal mucosa. The patient denied any symptoms pain or paresthesia in area concern (the palate). extraoral examination revealed no facial asymmetry, lymphadenopathy. Intraoral showed 3 × cm ulcerated sessile mass involving posterior two-thirds mucosa one-third anterior palate (Figure 1). firm nontender on palpation. adjacent teeth signs caries...
