Squamous cell carcinoma of the buccal mucosa has an aggressive nature, as it grows rapidly and penetrates well with a high recurrence rate. If cancers originating from the buccal mucosa invade adjacent anatomical structures, surgical tumor resection becomes more challenging, thus raising specific considerations for reconstruction relative to the extent of resection. The present case describes t...

A 50-year-old man was admitted to our emergency department due to new episode of palpitation. He had history of angioplasty of right coronary artery (RCA) with drug eluting stent 2 years ago. His electrocardiogram revealed atrial fibrillation (AF). Intravenous amiodarone 150 mg during 10 minutes and then 1 mg/min infusion were started to achieve rate control and pharmacologic conversion to sinu...

The aim of the research was to study nature structural and functional features epithelium oral mucosa tongue laboratory animals as a result exposure broadband red light. As morphological electron microscopic analysis changes rats after light revealed absence severe, irreversible in epithelium, submucous layer its components, weak severity reversibility circulatory disorders tissues. data obtain...

Aim: This study aimed to verify the quantity and purity of DNA obtained from buccal cells under differentstorage conditions. Methods: Thirty students, between 18 23 years age participated in study. Three samples genetic material were collected each student (samples A, B, C) through a mouth rinse with 5 mL 3% glucose. The first phase extraction sample A was carried out on same day collection, wh...

A 20 year old female patient presented with recurrent ulcers in and around her mouth that have not been amenable to treatment. Intra-oral examination revealed multiple creamy-white lesions on her mouth, cheeks and buccal mucosa.

1. Ascorbic acid was absorbed across the mucosa of the human mouth. 2. Omission of sodium ions from the medium decreased the absorption of ascorbic acid. 3. The presence of D-glucose, or 3-O-methyl-D-glucose, increased the absorption of ascorbic acid but D-fructose had little effect and D-mannitol had no effect. 4. Calcium ions also increased ascorbic acid absorption probably by a secondary ef...

BACKGROUND Oral sub mucous fibrosis is a rare chronic, progressive, pre malignant collagen disorder of oral mucosa in people of Asian descent characterized by trismus, blanching and stiffness of mucosa, burning sensation in mouth and hypomobility of soft palate and tongue with loss of gustatory sensation. Betel nut chewing is the most common etiological agent. Surgery remains the main stay in s...

Lipomas are the most common benign soft tissue tumors. They are usually surrounded by a thin fibrous capsule and composed of mature fat cells. Approximately 15 to 20% of cases occur in the head and neck region and only 1 to 4% occur in the oral cavity . The most common anatomic site in the oral cavity has frequently been reported as the buccal mucosa, followed by floor of the mouth, tongue and ...
