Article Synopsis
- A rare case of type I second-degree atrioventricular block (Wenckebach phenomenon) was observed in a 16-year-old girl after she underwent dental surgery for impacted wisdom teeth under general anesthesia.
- *Post-surgery, the patient was closely monitored for vital signs and showed no complications, with an electrocardiogram the following day revealing normal results.
- *The incident suggests that routine cardiovascular monitoring during dental procedures requiring anesthesia is crucial, even for healthy young patients, to manage potential emergencies.
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is one of the most important angiogenic factors. VEGF165b was recently isolated as the anti-angiogenic VEGF splice variant. In the present study, we examined the association between VEGF165b expression and clinicopathological characteristics in order to determine how VEGF165b produced from oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) affects the stromal cell biological activity.
