Diagnosis of Epidermoid Carcinoma of the Tongue after Treatment of Epidermoid Carcinoma of the Esophagus.

In the present case report, a patient with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) developed a second primary tumor in the tongue at the same time. Stage III middle esophageal SCC was discovered in a 60-year-old Caucasian male patient who was institutionalized, a smoker, and had previously struggled with alcoholism. Following treatment, the patient was admitted to the hospital for 15 days due to dysphagia and malnutrition.

The role of the histones H3K9ac, H3K9me3, HP1γ, and H3K36me3 in oral squamous cell carcinoma loco-regional metastasis and relapse.

Molecular markers with unequivocal significance in predicting cervical lymph node metastasis of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) has not yet been identified. Histones are DNA-binding proteins that can regulate gene expression, and some studies have shown that such proteins are implicated with tumor development and progression. This study aimed to investigate the expression of some histone modifications in OSCC and their roles in cervical lymph node metastasis.

Whole-body vibration in the reduction of the cellulite.

Objective: Evaluate the effects of the whole body vibration in improving of cellulite in the women's gluteal region.

Methods: Controlled clinical trial performed with 42 women, with cellulite in the gluteal region, detected by means of clinical examination. After evaluation, the women were divided into two groups: Whole-Body Vibration (WBV_G) and control (C_G).

Prognostic value of histone H3 serine 10 phosphorylation and histone H4 lysine 12 acetylation in oral squamous cell carcinoma.

Aims: Studies on epigenetics in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) are rare. Histone modifications comprise epigenetic mechanisms that perform a key role in gene transcription and may regulate tumour development. Thus, the aim of this study was to determine whether two post-translational histone modifications, i.

Pathologic significance of AKT, mTOR, and GSK3β proteins in oral squamous cell carcinoma-affected patients.

Phosphatidylinositol-3-kinases are kinases that lead to AKT phosphorylation and thus mTOR and GSK3β activation. These proteins are linked to tumorigenesis, but their roles in driving cervical lymph node (CLN) metastasis of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) cells are unknown. This study aimed to investigate the role of AKT, mTOR, and GSK3β proteins in the occurrence of CLN metastasis in OSCC patients.

Evaluation of body posture in nursing students.

Objective: To investigate the body posture of nursing students before and after clinical practice.

Method: The study was developed in two stages. Initially the body posture of students of the 2nd, 4th, 6th, and 8th periods were assessed through photogrammetry.

Metastases of Melanoma to Head and Neck Mucosa: A Report of Short Series.

Objectives: Metastasis of melanoma to the head and neck mucosa is a very unusual condition. The aim of this study was to report four cases of patients with metastatic melanoma in the head and neck mucosa treated at a single institution.

Methods: Clinical data were obtained from the medical records.

Paracoccidioidomycosis: a series of 66 patients with oral lesions from an endemic area.

Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) is the most important systemic mycosis in Latin America. It has been regarded as a multifocal disease, with oral lesions as the prominent feature. To provide useful information concerning the diagnosis and management of the disease, this study describes demographic and clinical data from the medical records of a consecutive series of 66 Brazilian patients from an endemic area, evaluated in a referral centre for oral diagnosis.

Nerve sheath myxoma of the gingiva: report of a rare case and review of the literature.

Background: Nerve sheath myxoma (NSM) is an extremely rare benign neoplasm in the oral cavity. This paper describes the first case, to our knowledge, of NSM in the gingival mucosa of an 84-year-old female patient.

Methods: Intraoral examination revealed a painless and well-defined nodule in the lingual gingival mucosa of the right mandibular lateral incisor, which measured approximately 1.
