Among oral lesions, we encounter a series of malignant epithelial lesions that go through clinical and histopathologic processes in order to be diagnosed. Identifying these processes along with the etiology knowledge of these lesions is very important in prevention and early treatments. Dysplasia is the step preceding the formation of squamous cell carcinoma in lesions which have the potential ...

BACKGROUND Postnatal corticosteroids (PNC) were widely used to treat and prevent bronchopulmonary dysplasia in preterm infants until studies showed increased risk of cerebral palsy and neurodevelopmental impairment. We aimed to describe PNC use in Europe and evaluate the determinants of their use, including neonatal characteristics and adherence to evidence-based practices in neonatal intensive...

BACKGROUND Although arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia (ARVD) predominantly affects the right ventricle (RV), genetic/molecular and histological changes are biventricular. Regional left ventricular (LV) function has not been systematically studied in ARVD. METHODS AND RESULTS The study population included 21 patients with suspected ARVD who underwent evaluation with MRI including tagg...

conclusion various filters are needed to improve the image quality. in this study, seven different filters were implemented and investigated on both noisy and noise-free images. background developmental dysplasia of the hip (ddh) can be detected with ultrasonography (usg) images. however, the accuracy of this method is dependent on the skill of the radiologist. radiologists measure the hip join...

objectives: ectrodactyly-ectodermal dysplasia-clefting syndrome (eec) is a rare syndrome with features of ectrodactyly, ectodermal dysplasia and cleft lip/palate. this study presents an iranian case with classic features and oral complications.   case: we report a 20-year old female with all manifestations of this syndrome. the simultaneous presence of these three malformations is extremely rar...

This retrospective cross-sectional study aimed to evaluate the outcomes of using free flaps for reconstructing defects following head and neck cancer resection at Hanoi Central Odonto-Stomatology Hospital (NHOS). A total 255 patients diagnosed with underwent en bloc immediate reconstruction NHOS between 2012 2022. The results demonstrated successful use tissue reconstruction, including 134 fibu...

Recent developments in the field of echocardiography have allowed the cardiologist to objectively quantify regional and global myocardial function. Regional deformation (strain) and deformation rate (strain-rate) can be calculated non-invasively in both the left and right ventricle, providing information on regional (dys-)function in a variety of clinical settings. Although this promising novel...

Esophageal cancer remains a highly lethal malignancy for which the genetic and proteomic events are poorly understood. Studies have reported dysregulated proteins in esophageal carcinoma; however, the magnitude of these changes remains largely uncharacterized. Little is known about alterations early in the neoplastic pathway. Using multiplex tissue immunoblotting, we quantified the expression o...
