Impact of Close Margins on Oral Cancer Outcomes According to the Oral Subsite.

Background: The prognostic significance of close margins in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is controversial. We wished to investigate the impact of close margins on the risk of local recurrence (LR) in OSCC according to the oral subsite.

Methods: A retrospective cohort study of 342 OSCC patients undergoing primary surgical treatment was conducted.

Describing and characterizing the gene family across plant species: a systematic review.

Wall-associated kinases (WAKs) and WAK-likes (WAKLs) are transmembrane pectin receptors which have seen rising interest in recent years due to their roles in stress responses and developmental pathways. Consequently, the genes encoding these proteins are continuously identified, described and characterised across a wide variety of plant species. The primary goal of characterizing these genes is to classify, describe and infer cellular function, mostly through methods.

Identification and transfer to stepped care of depressed and psychosocially stressed parents during peri- and postpartum-UPlusE: study protocol for cluster randomized trial of a screening intervention.

Background: Perinatal depression affects 10-15% of mothers and approximately 5% of fathers. However, only a small number of affected individuals seek treatment. If left unrecognized and untreated, it can have negative long-term consequences for the family's health, leading to subsequent high costs.

Geographical Distribution and Trends Analysis of Osteopathic General Surgery Residents.

In recent years, the number of Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO) residents entering general surgery has increased. As DOs continue to solidify their role within the surgical domain, understanding their distribution, preferences, and the dynamics of their integration into residency programs becomes crucial for general surgery applicants. Publicly available data were gathered for each DO general surgery resident from residency programs across the nation, including details such as post-graduate year, degrees held, and residency program location.
