Prostate cancer is recognised to be the commonest type of malignancy in the male in many parts of the world. Prostate cancer has a propensity to metastasize to bone, however metastasis to the jaw is uncommon and indeed among metastatic tumours of the jaws which are a rarity, only about 9% originate from a prostatic primary. We report a case of histologically proven metastatic prostate cancer to...

We treated two patients requiring nasolabial flap reconstruction. The first patient was a 75-year-old man with mucoepidermoid carcinoma in the left-side floor of the mouth; requiring resection of the floor of the mouth, partial mandibulectomy, and left supraomohyoid neck dissection. The second patient was a 74-year-old man with recurrent acinic cell carcinoma in the anterior oral floor infiltra...

INTRODUCTION Classically, a segmental mandibulectomy and osteocutaneous free flap reconstruction of the anterior mandibular arch is performed transcervically and requires a midline labiotomy for access. Additionally, the inferior alveolar nerve is normally sacrificed when performing a segmental osteotomy proximal to the mental foramen. In the scenario of a benign neoplasm requiring a segmental ...

The segmental body plan of vertebrates arises from the metameric organization of the paraxial mesoderm into somites. Each mesodermal somite is subdivided into at least two distinct domains: rostral and caudal. The segmental pattern of dorsal root ganglia, sympathetic ganglia and nerves is imposed by differential properties of either somitic domain. In the present work, we have extended these st...

The aim of this study was to carry out the morphological characterization Tabby cat’s hard palate by light and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), in addition gross morphometric analysis. A total 20 cat heads used. materials provided from Balıkesir Metropolitan Municipality Street Animals Temporary Nursing Home Rehabilitation Center, Balıkesir, Turkey.

Cutaneous stimulation within the rostral scratch receptive field in a low spinal-immobilized turtle elicits a fictive rostral scratch reflex characterized by robust rhythmic motor output from ipsilateral hindlimb muscle nerves and weaker, alternating motor discharge in contralateral nerves. Simultaneous bilateral stimulation elicits bilateral rostral scratch motor patterns in which activity on ...

Angiotensin within the central nervous system appears to be important for the maintenance of hypertension in spontaneously hypertensive rats. This study addresses the hypothesis that blockade of AT1 receptors in the rostral ventrolateral medulla would decrease blood pressure in spontaneously hypertensive rats and that this tonically active AT1-mediated input to the rostral ventrolateral medulla...
