background : drooling is a common problem in children and adults with neuromuscular disorders. this problem is best dealt with using a multidisciplinary team approach. the objective of this paper is to assess the results following surgery at the drooling clinic of amiralmomenin hospital. methods : the results of the surgical protocol used between 1994 and 2007 at the drooling clinic of amiralmo...

Abnormal ductal NaCl absorption has been known as the only defect in cystic fibrosis (CF) sweat glands. We have fortuitously found that the secretory portion of CF sweat glands is also abnormal in that it failed to show a sweating response to beta adrenergic stimulation (isoproterenol, [ISO]) both in vivo and in vitro. For the in vitro sweat test, eccrine sweat glands were isolated from skin bi...

We studied the mechanisms of transformation some salivary enzymes and established real contribution glands to enzymatic homeostasis body in unilateral nephrectomy.The results were obtained that with nephrectomy, content amylase pepsinogen blood increases, but its lipolytic activity remains unchanged, volume basal secretion glands, release by parotid gland increases. Unilateral nephrectomy stimu...

Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is a slowly developing malignant tumor of the salivary glands, occurring more commonly in minor glands and rarely parotid glands. It has potential retrograde perineural spread to adjacent structures spaces. Here we report rare case ACC gland extended infratemporal fossa with vascular invasion, reflecting advanced stage disease. After consulting ENT specialists rad...

conclusion adrenal iron in β-tm can be reliably measured in 3 tesla mri. the results highlight the absence of correlation between adrenal iron deposition both with serum ferritin and hepatic iron. results among patients, there was no significant correlation between plasma ferritin and adrenal t2*. significant difference was detected among t2* values of adrenals between the patient and control g...
