Effects of dermal wounding on distal primary tumor immunobiology in mice.

Background: Before primary oral tumors are treated, various prophylactic procedures that require tissue repair are often necessary (e.g. biopsies, tooth extractions, radiation, and tracheotomies).

Tumors Alter Inflammation and Impair Dermal Wound Healing in Female Mice.

Tissue repair is an integral component of cancer treatment (e.g., due to surgery, chemotherapy, radiation).

[OK-432 therapy for cervicofacial lymphangioma in adults].

The treatment of cervicofacial lymphangiomas has been changing in recent years. OK-432 appears to be a relatively safe and effective treatment option for patients of all ages. An intracystic injection of OK-432 produces a local inflammatory reaction, leading to resolution of the lesion.

[Symptomatic hepatic arterioportal shunt resolved through conservative treatment].

Arterioportal shunt in the liver is a rare vascular disorder that may be due to congenital vascular malformation (hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia), trauma, iatrogenic causes (after a hepatic biopsy) or neoplasm. Initial treatment consists of transcatheter arterial embolization with different kinds of materials. We present the case of a 64-year-old woman with signs of portal hypertension and severe diarrhea.
