Renal cell carcinoma metastasizing to salivary glands: Systematic review.

Distant metastasis to salivary glands is a very rare event. Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) has been known for its high propensity of metastasis to unusual locations and salivary glands are one among those sites. Approximately 0.

Comparative Assessment of Perceived Pain in Children During Palatal Anesthesia Using Two Injection Techniques: An Study.

Background: Computer-controlled local anesthetic delivery (CCLAD) is an approach that uses a constant and slow flow of delivering the anesthetic solution into the tissues, which is capable of alleviating pain and discomfort in children.

Aim: Assessment of perceived pain in children during palatal anesthesia using Wand technique and conventional technique.

Materials And Methods: A total of 30 children requiring bilateral palatal anesthesia were included in the study in a split-half design.

Role of miRNA in cancer diagnosis, prognosis, therapy and regulation of its expression by Epstein-Barr virus and human papillomaviruses: With special reference to oral cancer.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) belong to class of small non-coding RNAs that regulate numerous biological processes by targeting broad set of messenger RNAs. Research on miRNA-based biomarkers has witnessed phenomenal growth, owing to non-invasive nature of miRNA based screening assays and their sensitivity and specificity in detecting cancers. Their discovery in humans in 2000 has led to an explosion in research in terms of their role as biomarker, therapeutic target and trying to elucidate their function.
