Digitalized diagnosis and treatment of pigmented villonodular synovitis of temporomandibular joint: a case report.

Pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) is a rare locally aggressive benign tumor in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). This paper presents a patient with TMJ-PVNS involving masseteric space, temporal bone, zygomatic process, and mandibular ramus. Digital technique was used to determine the boundary of the lesion and reconstruct the normal glenoid fossa.

Application of deep learning radiomics in oral squamous cell carcinoma-Extracting more information from medical images using advanced feature analysis.

Objective: To conduct a systematic review with meta-analyses to assess the recent scientific literature addressing the application of deep learning radiomics in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC).

Materials And Methods: Electronic and manual literature retrieval was performed using PubMed, Web of Science, EMbase, Ovid-MEDLINE, and IEEE databases from 2012 to 2023. The ROBINS-I tool was used for quality evaluation; random-effects model was used; and results were reported according to the PRISMA statement.

Effect of Prophylactic Placement of Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy on the Surgical Prognosis in Patients With Oral Cancer: A Pilot Study.

This study assessed the application of prophylactic percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (pPEG) in patients with newly diagnosed oral cancer (OC) who underwent surgery and were ready for subsequential chemoradiation. In total, 113 patients who underwent OC surgical treatment were divided into pPEG (n = 26), nasogastric tube (n = 54), and oral feeding (n = 33) groups. Their baseline characteristics, surgery-related outcomes, and nutritional data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon rank-sum test and χ2 test.

A retrospective analysis for the management of oromaxillofacial invasive mucormycosis and systematic literature review.

Purpose: Mucormycosis is a type of fatal infectious disease, rarely involved in the oromaxillofacial region. This study aimed to describe a series of 7 cases with oromaxillofacial mucormycosis and to discuss the epidemiology, clinical features, and treatment algorithm thereof.

Methodology: Seven patients in the author's affiliation have been treated.

Hydatid Cyst of the Oromaxillofacial Region - A Rare Location: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.

Oromaxillofacial hydatid cysts are rare, even in countries where echinococcosis is endemic. This study aimed to describe an isolated oromaxillofacial hydatid cyst and to discuss the epidemiology, clinical features, and treatment thereof. The authors report the case of a 12 year-old boy who presented with a 2-week history of an enlarging hydatid cyst in the parapharyngeal space extending to the neck, with no pulmonary or hepatic involvement.

Propranolol induces hemangioma endothelial cell apoptosis via a p53‑BAX mediated pathway.

The use of propranolol for the treatment of infantile hemangioma (IH) has been widely investigated in recent years. However, the underlying therapeutic mechanism of propranolol for the treatment of IH remains poorly understood. The aim of the present study was to investigate the expression of proteins regulated by cellular tumor antigen p53 (p53) in associated apoptosis pathways in IH endothelial cells (HemECs) treated with propranolol.
