SUBMAXILLARY SALIVARY CALCULUS

Case of Salivary Calculus

A Case of Salivary Calculus

Raju, Hindu male aged 70, was admitted to hospital on the afternoon of the 19th April, 1922, suffering from extreme emaciation, inability to take food, and an offensive and purulent discharge from the mouth. The patient had suffered from this trouble for 12 years and had been in the habit of having the swelling punctured by a barber when it increased in size. Twelve days prior to his admission ...

Factors regulating the concentrations of 16-androstene steroids in submaxillary salivary glands of pigs.

The measurement of 16-androstene steroids in submaxillary salivary glands is a potentially good way to estimate boar taint. The objective of this work was to identify factors regulating the concentrations of these steroids in salivary glands. Large White x Pietrain male pigs were divided into four treatments: T-1, intact untreated (n = 18); T-2, intact treated with porcine somatotropin (pST, n ...

Analysis of Submandibular Salivary Calculus by External PIXE

This work presents the study by external PIXE of two giant submandibular obtained from different individuals. The backscattered protons were detected to perform Rutherford Backscattering Spectrometry (RBS) simultaneously to PIXE. These calculi are rare and presented a layered structure; an elemental profile was obtained: P, Ca, O are commonly detected; Cl, Fe, Cu, Zn, Br and Sr are detected in ...

Increase in plasma renin in aggressive mice originates from kidneys, submaxillary and other salivary glands, and bites.

Aggressive behavior in mice caused a vast release of renin into the plasma. The present data support previous findings that the main sources were the submaxillary gland and kidney. In addition, unidentified salivary glands capable of releasing renin into the saliva were demonstrated by alpha-adrenergic stimulation. The role of these glands in generating plasma renin is unknown. Experiments were...
