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...

Angiokeratoma is a rare cutaneous lesion. It can be either a generalized systemic form, presenting as multiple asymptomatic papules on the skin, associated with metabolic diseases or a solitary cutaneous form.

occurring at a longer time of 51-90 seconds. Even more interesting, there was a small secondary peak at 111 + seconds. Analysis of the TTT in other subjects with various diseases suggests that the existence of a long lF1' may have some clinical significance. A highly significant correlation between plasma and leucocyte AA values was found and a significant relationship between TTT and leucocyte...

The aim of this study was to investigate comparatively the concentration of a nitrogen radical, particularly nitric oxide (NO)/nitrite (NO2), in the tongue-coating and mixed saliva obtained from smokers/non-smokers and drinkers/non-drinkers, proving the cytotoxic and cytoprotective effect of these free radicals in oral metabolism and physiophatolology of oral diseases. Masticatory (stimulated) ...

Increased upper airway collapsibility has been suspected of being involved in the pathogenesis of sleep-related diseases. It is assumed that patients with severe obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) show a stronger collapse of the upper airway compared with habitual snorers. It was the objective of this study to analyze the patterns of upper airway collapse in habitual snorers and patients w...

BACKGROUND Several oral mucosal abnormalities have been reported to occur more frequently in patients with liver disease. It has, however, not been determined if these conditions are related to the disease or are manifestations of extraneous factors not associated with the liver pathology. OBJECTIVE To identify and quantify oral abnormalities in candidates for liver transplantation, and to de...
