A Case Report of Swelling of the Left Side of the Face Invading Masseter - An Enigma

Keratocystic Odontogenic Tumor has been defined by the World Health Organization as a benign intraosseous neoplasm of odontogenic origin with characteristic lining of the parakeratinized squamous epithelium. Due to variable features of this lesion pertaining to clinical and biologic behaviour, this tumor is been studied extensively even today with respect to its molecular aspects to resolve man...

Kinetics of Swelling Gels

Abstract. We develop a general theory of the swelling kinetics of polymer gels, with the view that a polymer gel is a two-phase fluid. The model we propose is a free boundary problem and can be used to understand both contraction and swelling, including complete dissolving or dehydration of polymeric gels. We show that the equations of motion satisfy a minimum energy dissipation rate principle ...

Swelling of Fish Mitochondria

The physical properties of fish liver and rat liver mitochondria were compared as a function of temperature and osmotic pressure. The data indicate that fish mitochondria are more flexible and swell at a more rapid rate over a 0 to 30 degrees C temperature range, whereas the rates of swelling at 30 to 40 degrees C are comparable. The swelling rates of both fish and rat mitochondria vary with te...

Swelling of Tobacco Mitochondria

The swelling of mitochondria isolated from leaves, roots, and callus tissues of Nicotiana tabacum, L, var. White Gold, was measured by following changes in optical density at 520 mjt in buffered 025 M sucrose or 0.125 M KCI. Ozone induced rapid swelling of the isolated mitochondria and increased the permeability of mitochondrial membranes. The extent of mitochondrial swelling and the amount of ...

Swelling of the lips.

A 30-year-old man presented to the emergency department with rapidly worsening swelling of the lips (see accompanying figure) that began three hours earlier. He had a history of a developmental disability and hypertension treated with lisinopril (Zestril) for two years. He had no previous episodes of swelling. Physical examination revealed localized swelling of the upper and lower lips, but no ...
