Hamartoma es una masa desorganizada, benigna, compuesta por tejidos y células nativas de sitio anatómico afectado. El hamartoma lingual infantil un tumor benigno e infrecuente que generalmente se descubre en la niñez. No conoce patogenia, pero parece estar relacionada a persistencia restos embrionarios mesenquimales. Se presenta el caso paciente con patología región lingual.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of body mass index (BMI, calculated as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared) and medical comorbidities on outcomes after lingual tonsillectomy and supraglottoplasty performed for obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) caused by lingual tonsillar hypertrophy and occult laryngomalacia. DESIGN Retrospective case review series SETTING Academi...

The mouse incisor has two unusual features: it grows continuously and it is covered by enamel exclusively on the labial side. The continuous growth is driven in part by epithelial stem cells in the cervical loop region that can both self-renew and give rise to ameloblasts. We have previously reported that ectopic enamel is found on the lingual side of the incisor in mice with loss-of-function o...

To the Editor: Goyal et al recently published an anatomic study about the surgical anatomy of the supraglottic larynx using the da Vinci robot. In this publication, the course of lingual artery has been described as lateral to hyoglossus muscle, which separates the artery from the lingual nerve. The authors exposed the lingual artery while describing the endoscopic anatomy of the supraglottic l...

It is difficult to visualize the lingual surfaces of the all tooth, in order to assess the exact Facial axis of the clinical crown (FACC point) . So no matter how accurately brackets are positioned on set-up models, it would be meaningless if these positions were lost during intraoral bracket placement. It is no exaggeration to say that incorrect bracket positioning leads to treatment failure. ...

Lingual tumors are rare, primarily benign, lesions in the pediatric population. Congenital lesions, such as hemangiomas, lymphatic malformations, dermoids, hamartomas and thyroglossal ducts cysts, are seen more commonly. Primary, non-congenital lingual neoplasms are less common in children. We present three patients with benign lingual neoplasms. Evaluation, management, pathology and follow-up ...

In social advertising, ads are targeted based on underlying social networks and their content is tailored with information that pertains to the social relationship. This paper explores the effectiveness of social advertising using data from field tests of different ads on Facebook. We find evidence that social advertising is effective, and that this efficacy seems to stem mainly from the abilit...

We consider a setting where agents select among competing products of unknown quality by costly sequential search. The agents are active on an online social network, and late movers benefit from possibly being able to see early movers’ purchase decisions. In this setting we consider the impact of advertising by firms, and the incentives of the underlying social network platform. We consider dis...

Statistical Parametric Speech Synthesis (SPSS) offers flexibility and computational advantage compared to other methods for Text-to-Speech Synthesis. While the speech output is intelligible, statistically trained voices are less natural due to the amount of signal processing and statistical averaging that goes into building the models. Much of the blame for the lack of naturalness falls on the ...

The aim of the present study was to investigate the light and electron microscopic structure of the tongue in White-eared bulbul (Pycnonotus leucotis). Six adult White-eared bulbul (3 males and 3 females) in Shahrekord district were used in the investigation. Samples of the apex, body and root of the tongue were prepared routinely for light and electron microscopic study. Results showed that th...
