BACKGROUND An increase in gastric mucosal lesions due to nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) has been reported along with the aging of society; even orthopedic surgeons can no longer remain unconcerned about this disease. However, no study has accurately examined the incidence of gastric mucosal lesions; therefore, adequate evidence has not been established. In this study, endoscopic e...

the present study aimed to evaluate the protective effect of crocin on gastric mucosal lesions caused by ischemia-reperfusion (i/r) injury in rats.forty male rats were randomly divided into sham, control (i/r injury) and three crocin-pretreated groups. to induce i/r lesions, the celiac artery was clamped for 30 min and then the clamp was removed to allow reperfusion for 3 h. pretreated-rats rec...

introduction: laser dentistry is a one of the upcoming advanced treatment modality for oral mucosal lesions. diode laser is a soft tissue laser that has found much acceptance in all branches of dentistry. available compact size and feasibility has render diode laser an enhanced tool for today’s clinical practice. the aim of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of diode laser for t...

BACKGROUND: The biopsy of an oral mucosal lesion is a minor operation. Pain might be an unpredictable consequence of the oral mucosal biopsy. The aim of this study was to examine the incidence and severity of post-operative pain following the biopsy of oral mucosal lesions in patients attending in an oral medicine department of Kerman Dental School. METHODS: Visual analogue scale (VAS) was used...

results out of the 129 elderly participants, aged between 60-87 years (mean: 66.71 ± 6.21), males constituted 58.1% (n = 75) of patients and female were 41.9% (n = 54). normal variations of oral mucosa were observed in 62% (n = 80) of patients, while 44.2% (n = 57) had oral mucosal lesions. normal variations were significantly associated with smoking (or = 1.2), while denture wearers were at hi...

BACKGROUND There is a difference in the location of colorectal mucosal lesions and invasive cancers. AIMS To ascertain whether the location of colorectal neoplasms reflects the carcinogenesis pathway. METHODS The subject material consisted of 4147 neoplastic lesions that had been resected endoscopically or surgically from 5025 patients. Mucosal lesions and submucosal cancers were classified...

BACKGROUND/AIM To investigate the relative frequency of biopsied nonneoplastic oral mucosal lesions in Ankara, Turkey. MATERIALS AND METHODS Biopsy records of a single center from 2000-2012 were retrospectively collected. Diagnosis was recorded and evaluated with respect to patient demographics (age, sex) and location of the lesion. RESULTS Of 11,980 biopsies, 1732 (14.5%) were mucosal nonn...

The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between mucosal gizzard lesions and caecal Clostridium perfringens counts. Gross pathological changes in the gizzard and small intestine, and caecal C. perfringens counts from 1217 meat-type chickens were recorded during the course of six experiments and were statistically analysed. C. perfringens counts increased significantly (P < 0.00...
