A 38-year-old male suffered from swelling of the lower lip for 3 months. Neither facial nerve palsy nor fissuring of the tongue was present. Histological examination of a biopsy taken from the lower lip revealed non-caseous epithelioid cell granulomas, suggestive of cheilitis granulomatosa. Patch testing revealed positive reactions to mercury chloride and amalgam. His symptoms markedly improved...

Actinic cheilitis is the main precancerous lesion of the lip. Squamous cell carcinoma of the lip is reported together with oral carcinomas in the Brazilian official statistics. Overall, they account for 40% of the head and neck carcinomas. In general, physicians and dentists know little about what causes oral tumor development and progression. Tumor suppressor genes and cell proliferation regul...

The core rotation rates of massive stars have a substantial impact on the nature of core-collapse (CC) supernovae and their compact remnants. We demonstrate that internal gravity waves (IGWs), excited via envelope convection during a red supergiant phase or during vigorous late time burning phases, can have a significant impact on the rotation rate of the pre-SN core. In typical ( M M M 10 20 ...

In this paper, we propose a new method of morphology classification considering the building height, density, etc. The characteristics of path loss, delay spread(DS), angular spread(AS) of Angle of Departure(AoD) and Angle of Arrival(AoA) for each morphology were investigated by analyzing the simulation results obtained by the ray-tracing technique and a statistical modelling of the building di...

Results: The overall prevalence of thinness was 25.70% and the prevalence of stunting was 31.33%. A significant association was observed between the nutritional status of adolescents and the mother’s literacy level and family size. The various morbidities prevalent amongst the adolescent girls were found to be pallor (93.30%); menstrual problems (83.09%); dentalcaries (42.25%); angular stomatit...

1. A study amongst schoolboys in villages around Hyderabad, India, showed that almost all the boys had riboflavin deficiency, 61% had pyridoxine deficiency, and 9.4% had thiamin deficiency as judged by enzymic tests. 2. The prevalence of angular stomatitis was 41.3% and that of glossitis was 18.2%. Biochemical deficiency of riboflavin and pyridoxine was marginally higher in children with angula...
