Cervical Lymph Node Metastasis of Unknown Origin and Remote Primary at a Tertiary Cancer Centre in North India: Case Series with Review of Literature.

Carcinoma of unknown primary site represents a heterogeneous group of malignancies that present with lymph node or distant metastases, for which diagnostic work-up fails to identify the site of origin. Their incidence relative to total head and neck cancers ranges from as low as 1.7 to 2.

Efficacy and safety of platelet-rich plasma as an adjunct therapy to split thickness skin graft in burn patients with granulating raw wounds: a prospective, randomized, double-blind study-study protocol.

Background: Burn wounds are commonly encountered in clinical settings and the management aims at the prevention of mortality and morbidity due to disability. The platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is blood-derived biomaterial that is enriched with growth factors and cytokines that facilitate wound healing. The PRP has proven its efficacy in various other wounds, but its role in post-burn raw areas and graft take has not been validated.

Clinico-Pathological Predictors Affecting Lymph Node Status in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma.

To analyze the correlation of age, gender, subsite, and histopathological factors such as tumour grade, depth of invasion (DOI), lymphovascular invasion(LVI), perineural invasion(PNI), bone invasion and worst pattern of invasion(WPOI) with cervical lymph node metastasis(LNM), extranodal extension(ENE), lymph node ratio(LNR), number of positive nodes(+ veN) and T stage in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). We conducted a retrospective study on cases with OSCC of all stages and any designated anatomical subsite of the oral cavity, who reported to us from the year 2018-2023, and underwent curative-intent surgery with or without appropriate adjuvant treatment. Various clinic-pathological parameters were recorded and their correlation with lymph node metastasis, lymph node ratio(LNR), number of positive nodes(+ veN), extranodal extension(ENE) and T stage was analyzed.

Dedifferentiated Liposarcoma of the Parotid Gland: A Rare Presentation.

Dedifferentiated liposarcoma (DDLPS) is a nonlipogenic sarcoma arising in association with well-differentiated liposarcoma (LPS), and represents 10% of liposarcomas. Most of the cases of dedifferentiated liposarcoma arise in the retroperitoneal region, followed by deep soft tissue of the extremities, trunk, mediastinum, spermatic cord, and the head and neck region. We report a case of a 35 year old male patient who had DDLPS of the left parotid gland.

Dried plum supplementation enhanced the expression of liver antioxidant capacity, metabolism, and epigenetic-related gene markers in broiler chickens under heat stress conditions: Dried plum increased liver metabolism in broiler.

Heat stress (HS) poses a substantial challenge in the poultry sector, resulting in considerable economic losses as it negatively impacts the well-being and productivity of chickens. Dried plum (DP) is a rich source of minerals, vitamins, antioxidants, and phenolic compounds. Studies have indicated that DP offers various health advantages, including preserving the body's redox system, immune function, and calcium balance.
