Introduction: Peripheral reactive lesions of soft tissue are common oral lesions that dentists face during routine examinations. Diagnosis and development of a treatment plan is difficult if dentists are not aware of the prevalence and clinical symptoms of these lesions. The frequency of these lesions differs across various populations. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency and d...

A long-term onsite assessment of the hygrothermal performance of a wood frame wall system is presented in this work. The system was applied in a wood demonstration house within the Lake Tai climate zone of Suzhou, China. The hygrothermal performance of the cavity insulation wall was determined from the temperature, relative humidity, and from the temperature of the wood material surface through...

Epitheloid hemangioendothelioma (EHE) is an uncommon angiocentric neoplasm of intermediate malignant potential. This tumor is frequently seen in the lungs and liver, but its presentation in the oral cavity is rare. In the oral cavity, gingival region is the common sites of occurrence. We report a rare case of epitheloid hemangioendothelioma in a 48-year-old male, presenting as a growth in the u...

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 ...

This test is based on the incompressibility of myocardium, which dictates that left ventricular wall volume remains constant throughout the cardiac cycle. The volumes occupied by the left ventricular cavity, by ventricular wall plus cavity, and hence by ventricular wall alone were estimated, both at end-systole and at end-diastole, from ecocardiographic measurements of cavity transverse dimensi...

Absorption of drugs through the oral cavity was noted as early as 1847 and systemic studies of oral cavity absorption were first reported in 1935 [1]. Since then, substantial effort has been focused on drug absorption from a drug delivery system in a particular region of the oral cavity [2-5]. As a site for drug delivery, the oral cavity offers many advantages over other routes of drug administ...

BACKGROUND The apposing mucosa of the oral cavity makes the computed tomographic identification of a clinically obvious mass difficult. Contrast distension techniques have been used in radiology to evaluate for presence of a "hidden" mass. OBJECTIVE To illustrate the utility of distending the oral cavity with air, water, or contrast to display otherwise obscure oral cavity lesions. PATIENTS...

abstract background: the disk diffusion method for identification of yeasts species was performed based on different but distinct susceptibilities of yeasts spp. to chemicals: janus green, ethidium bromide, 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride, brilliant green, cycloheximide and rhodamine 6g. methods: atotal of 568 iranian soldiers went under study for isolation and identification of yeast speci...

melanoma of the oral cavity is a rare malignant disease. on account of the presence at relatively obscure areas in the oral cavity, most of oral malignant melanomas are diagnosed at a late stage. early diagnosis is essential for successful treatment and perhaps is the key factor in improving the prognosis of oral malignant melanoma. however, no large clinical series exist, and in fact, clinical...

Introduction: Although recent studies show the association of eosinophils with different tumors including oral malignancies, the role of eosinophils in premalignant conditions of the oral cavity is not known precisely. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the number of eosinophils in premalignant and malignant conditions of the oral cavity and its role in progression to malignancy. Materia...
