Revision parotidectomy - analysis of indications for the procedure and treatment results based on 10 years of follow-up in a single center.

<b>Introduction:</b> Surgical removal of recurrent parotid gland tumours is the first-line treatment but presents an increased risk of facial nerve injury and a considerable re-recurrence failure rate.<b>Aim:</b> Identification of individuals exposed to a higher risk of re-procedure, raising awareness in the preoperative setting, and proposing an optimal follow-up.<b>Methods:</b> The retrospective review included 72 patients treated with revision surgery in a single centre.

L. ethanolic extracts and essential oil - chemical composition, antioxidant potential, antibacterial activity, and skin permeation study.

Introduction: L. is classified as a medicinal plant and used in traditional medicine. The root of this plant is mainly used as a medicinal raw material, but the above-ground parts are also a valuable source of health-promoting biologically active compounds.

Oncologic outcomes of the most prevalent major salivary gland cancers: retrospective cohort study from single center.

Background: The preoperative diagnosis of salivary gland cancer (SGC) is crucial for the application of appropriate treatment, particularly involving the extension of the resection.

Methods: Retrospective search of medical database identified 116 patients treated surgically with malignant tumors of salivary gland between 2010 and 2020. Analysis included the demographical data, clinical course, type of surgical and adjuvant treatment, histology type and margin status, perivascular invasion (LVI), perineural invasion (PNI), metastatic lymph nodes (LN).

Conformation of the hydrazo bond in new 2-methyl-3,5-dinitro-6-(2-phenylhydrazinyl)pyridine and its influence on the structural and optic properties - Quantum chemical DFT calculations.

A new methyl-dinitro-phenylhydrazinyl-pyridine derivative [2-methyl-3,5-dinitro-6-(2-phenylhydrazinyl)pyridine] was synthesised and characterised by means of structural and spectroscopic measurements. The X-ray diffraction studies revealed that the compound crystallises in the centrosymmetric monoclinic space group P2/n, with two symmetry-independent molecules in the asymmetric unit with Z = 8. Hydrazo bridge C-NH-NH-C links two fragments composed of phenyl ring and pyridine unit substituted with methyl and nitro groups.
