Our paper addresses the question of covariation between intraoral air pressure and size of contact area between tongue and palate during the articulation of the Norwegian stop consonants /t/ and /d/. An EPG investigation of the two plosives shows a larger contact area between tongue and palate for /t/ than for /d/. An investigation of intraoral air pressure during the articulation of the two pl...

This report is of a patient with acute carotid blowout syndrome that was managed successfully with emergency placement of a covered stent. A 68-year-old man with carcinoma of the tongue had been treated surgically and underwent repeated radiotherapy for recurrence. He presented with intermittent brisk bleeding from a wound in his neck. An urgent carotid angiogram was performed and revealed a ps...

background and objectives: squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue (sccot) is the most common malignant neoplasm in oral cavity. at the time of the diagnosis of sccot regional metastases with a high mortality rate are common, which is due to the extensive lymphatic system drainage of the tongue. although the level of healthcare has significantly improved, the survival rate is still low with an un...

Under normal conditions, the oral cavity presents a perfect system of equilibrium between teeth, soft tissues and tongue. The equilibrium of soft tissues forms a closed capsular matrix, generating differences with the atmospheric environment. This difference is known as intraoral pressure. Negative intraoral pressure is fundamental to the stabilization of the soft palate and tongue, reducing ne...

BACKGROUND Dry mouth is known to cause severe pain in the intraoral structures, and many dry mouth patients have been suffering from intraoral pain. In development of an appropriate treatment, it is crucial to study the mechanisms underlying intraoral pain associated with dry mouth, yet the detailed mechanisms are not fully understood. To evaluate the mechanisms underlying pain related to dry m...

It is the purpose of this study to evaluate how self-expanding stents (SESs) affect esophageal cancer radiation planning target volumes (PTVs) and dose delivered to surrounding organs at risk (OARs). Ten patients were evaluated, for whom a SES was placed before radiation. A computed tomography (CT) scan obtained before stent placement was fused to the post-stent CT simulation scan. Three method...

PURPOSE Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the tongue has a relatively high incidence of all oral cancers. Some studies have reported a relationship between intraoral dental prosthesis and SCC of the tongue; however, this relationship remains controversial. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between SCC of the tongue and the positional aspects of dental prosthesis using...

Background: Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) occurs in approximately 95% of people older than 40 years; usually, it is diagnosed at the age 60 years. The etiology OSCC multifactorial. Chronic mechanical trauma due to sharp teeth has also been suggested as an oral tongue. Purpose: This case report aimed describe resulting from and prevent further metastasis by correctly diagnosing lesion earl...
