Oral cancer, representing 2-4% of all cancer cases, predominantly consists of Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OSCC), which makes up 90% of oral malignancies. Early detection of OSCC is crucial, and identifying specific proteins in saliva as biomarkers could greatly improve early diagnosis. Here, we proposed a strategy to pinpoint candidate biomarkers.

Despite recent advances in the field of oral cancer therapy, including the introduction of immunotherapeutic approaches, the 5-year survival rate remains steadily assessed around 50%. Thus, there is an urgent need for new therapeutic strategies.

- Deep cutaneous mycoses (DCMs) and skin fungal infections can lead to serious health issues if not properly diagnosed and treated, especially in immunocompromised individuals.
- The most common culprits are dermatophytes, which can cause skin lesions that progress to more severe conditions like ulcers and even osteomyelitis.
- Accurate diagnosis involves a combination of clinical observation, imaging, microbiological culture, and in some hard-to-diagnose cases, molecular methods; a case study illustrated the challenges in distinguishing DCMs from other conditions, highlighting the significance of awareness in at-risk populations.
The goal was to evaluate the efficacy of the sausage technique in reconstructing the crestal buccal bone thickness, focusing on the distribution shape of the regenerated volume. Ten implants were placed in five patients with Cawood-Howell class IV defects. A cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) was executed at T0 (before surgery).
