abstract salivary gland tumors are among the pathologies in the head and neck that may be challenging in diagnosis and treatment. most benign tumors occur in the parotid gland. pleomorphic adenoma is the most common type. basal cell adenoma is a subtype of the monomorphic adenoma with rare occurrence. proper diagnosis and clinical evaluation by the use of radiography can lead the physician to t...

PURPOSE Many types of chronic blepharitis have been believed to be primarily microbial in origin; however, it was proposed that differences and changes in lipid composition of meibomian secretion may be the initiating factor in some of these. It was recently reported that there are two subgroups of normals, those whose meibomian secretions contain high levels of cholesterol esters and those who...

PURPOSE OF REVIEW Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) is understood to be a highly prevalent, chronic progressive disease and the leading cause of dry eye. All available published peer-reviewed results of the novel vectored thermal pulsation therapy for patients with MGD are investigated. RECENT FINDINGS The PubMed and meeting abstract search revealed a total of 31 peer-reviewed reports on vect...

PURPOSE Previous reports suggest that age-related meibomian gland atrophy is associated with decreased expression of the lipid-sensitive nuclear receptor, PPARγ. The purpose of this study was to identify the role of PPARγ in modulating meibocyte lipid synthesis. METHODS Cytoplasmic and nuclear fractions from meibomian glands of young (2M) and old (2Y) C57Bl6 mice were probed using antibodies ...

Aims And Objectives: To study the incidence of benign cystic eyelid tumors. Results: It was observed in our that tumors are most common age group 30-45 yrs,in male patients, meibomian cyst

Introduction: Pleomorphic adenoma is a rare benign salivary gland neoplasm in children, which can be treated by simple excision. This tumor is rarely included in the differential diagnosis of solid submandibular masses in children. In the neonates, congenital pleomorphic adenoma usually presents in the nasopharynx. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice and recurrence is not expected. We ...

abstract background: primary hyperparathyroidism is autonomous production of parathyroid hormone. after removal of adenoma, one of the surgeons concern is postoperative hypocalcaemia. there is no precise method to determine if patients have hypocalcaemia postoperatively. the purpose of this study was to determine the relation between parathyroid adenoma weights, postoperative serum calcium and ...
