Effective use of fibrinogen concentrate in a pediatric splenic injury requiring transcatheter arterial embolization.

Correction of coagulation is a crucial aspect of trauma care. While there are reports highlighting the effectiveness of fibrinogen concentrate in severe trauma cases with coagulopathic complications, literature on its use in pediatric cases remains limited. This paper discusses the case of a 5-year-old male presenting with a splenic injury and associated coagulopathy.

Impact of COVID-19 pandemic on the dynamic of patients with oral and maxillofacial trauma: interrupted time-series analysis.

Oral and maxillofacial trauma is influenced by various factors, including regional characteristics and social background. Due to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, a state of emergency was declared in Japan in March 2020. In this study, we aimed to examine the dynamics of patients with oral and maxillofacial trauma over a 12-years period using interrupted time-series (ITS) analysis.

[A Case of Severe Skin Disorder during Pembrolizumab Treatment for Recurrent Maxillary Gingival Carcinoma].

Immune checkpoint inhibitors are known to produce immune-related adverse events(irAE)that require medical management. Herein, we report a case of a patient treated with pembrolizumab who experienced a Grade 3 interrupted skin disorder. The patient is a 67-year-old female diagnosed with right maxillary gingival squamous cell carcinoma(cT4aN0M0, Stage ⅣA)and underwent partial right maxillectomy, right extended supra-omohyoid neck dissection, and maxillary reconstruction using a forearm flap.

[A Case of Recurrent Tongue Cancer in a Patient of AYA Generation Who Underwent Salvage Surgery and Oral-Maxillofacial Reconstruction after Super-Selective Intra-Arterial Chemoradiotherapy].

Radical tumor resection for oral cancer can cause morphological and esthetic disorders and oral and maxillofacial dysfunction and maintaining a social life could become challenging, especially in the adolescents and young adults(AYA)generation. Conversely, chemoradiotherapy for young patients may cause adverse reactions such as impaired fertility and late side effects of radiation. Therefore, treatment should be performed cautiously.

[Effect of the Hyoid Bone Suspension Technique on the Preservation of Swallowing Function after Total Glossectomy and Pectoralis Major Musculocutaneous Flap Reconstruction for Locally Advanced Tongue Cancer].

Dysphagia is a major postoperative complication in patients with locally advanced oral cancer. In this case report, we describe the effect of the hyoid bone suspension technique on the preservation of swallowing function after total glossectomy and pectoralis major musculocutaneous flap reconstruction for locally advanced tongue cancer. Case: A 72-year-old Japanese male was diagnosed with advanced squamous cell carcinoma on the left side of his tongue(cT4aN2cM0, cStage ⅣA).

Evidence of second-order transition and critical scaling for the dynamical ordering transition in current-driven vortices.

Dynamical ordering from a disordered plastic flow to an anisotropically ordered smectic flow induced by a dc force has been studied in various many-particle systems, including vortices in type-II superconductors. However, it remains unclear whether the dynamical ordering is a true phase transition because of lack of suitable experimental methods. Here, we study the response of vortex flow to the transverse force using a cross-shaped amorphous Mo[Formula: see text]Ge[Formula: see text] film.

Non-bacterial Thrombotic Endocarditis Presenting as a Mass in the Right Atrium Diagnosed by Open Chest Surgery.

Non-bacterial thrombotic endocarditis (NBTE) is a condition that results in the development of vegetation on cardiac valves that are devoid of inflammation and bacteria. We herein report a 60-year-old man who transferred to our hospital because of a systemic embolism and heart failure. A mass in the right atrium and vegetation on the mitral valve were observed.

A rare case of dentinogenic ghost cell tumor with concomitant odontoma.

Key Clinical Message: A case of dentinogenic ghost cell tumor occurring simultaneously with a clinically diagnosed odontoma. The occurrence of epithelial and mesenchymal tumors at the same site is very rare, but should be kept in mind during pathological diagnosis.

Abstract: Dentinogenic ghost cell tumor (DGCT) is a rare and benign odontogenic tumor composed of ghost cells, calcified tissue, and dentin.

Postoperative Complications following Open Reduction and Rigid Internal Fixation of Mandibular Condylar Fracture Using the High Perimandibular Approach.

The high perimandibular approach is a feasible surgical technique for treating mandibular condylar fractures with open reduction and internal fixation, followed by fewer complications. Temporary trismus is the only postoperative complication that may occur. This study evaluated postoperative complications following open reduction and rigid internal fixation (OR-IF) of mandibular condylar fractures using the high perimandibular approach.

[A Case of Reconstruction of the Osteoradionecrosis of the Jaw Using the Patient-Specific Custom-Made Cutting Guide and Mandibular Reconstruction Plate].

Multidisciplinary treatment, combining ablative surgery and reconstruction, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy, is used to treat advanced oral cancers. In this study, we report a case of extensive osteoradionecrosis of the mandible following multidisciplinary treatment for tongue cancer, in which a computer-assisted, patient-specific custom-made cutting guide and reconstruction plate(TruMatch® )were used to improve the patient's facial morphology and oral-maxillofacial functioning. A 70-year-old man received multidisciplinary treatment for squamous cell carcinoma of the left side of the tongue (cT3N2bM0, cStage ⅣA)at a previous hospital.

[A Case of Cavernous Sinus Metastasis following of the Postoperative Maxillary Gingival Carcinoma].

We report a case of cavernous sinus metastasis following postoperative maxillary gingival squamous cell carcinoma. An 83-year-old man was referred to our hospital due to pain in the left maxillary gingiva. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography imaging showed a mass lesion with bone destruction in the left maxillary gingiva.

[A Case of Tongue Carcinoma with Malignant Transformation Caused by the Pandemic].

In April 2020, a state of emergency was declared because of the pandemic, and the public was instructed to refrain from leaving their homes. Consequently, this stirred up anxiety about visiting medical institutions. Here, we describe a case of tongue carcinoma that developed from an oral precancerous lesion into a malignant transformation owing to the effects of refraining from medical examinations caused by the pandemic.

[Oral Function Restoration via Two-Stage Reconstructive Treatment of an Extensive Maxillary Defect Following Maxillectomy].

Recently, the number of survivors that had oral cancer has increased, but deterioration in the quality of life of patients concerning oral function and cosmetic appearance has become problematic. Prosthodontic dentures usefully treat jaw defects after maxillary resection for cancer, but advances in microsurgery have rendered the possibility to reconstruct maxillary defect and oral cavity using a microvascular flap. Here, we describe 2-stage treatment after 35 years postoperatively.

Kibble-Zurek Mechanism for Dynamical Ordering in a Driven Vortex System.

The Kibble-Zurek mechanism describes the formation of topological defects in systems crossing a continuous symmetry-breaking phase transition at a finite quench rate. While this mechanism has been extensively studied for equilibrium transitions, its applicability to nonequilibrium transitions has not yet been fully examined. Recent simulation has shown the applicability of the Kibble-Zurek mechanism to dynamical ordering transitions in particlelike assemblies, including superconducting vortices, driven over random disorder.

Oral Dysfunction in Patients with Oral Cancer Could Occur Before Treatment and Require Early Nutritional Improvement: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Patients with oral cancer have poor nutritional status before treatment. However, there have been no reports of the detailed evaluation of preoperative oral function in patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the preoperative oral function of patients with OSCC and examine the relationship with nutritional status.

Oral functional impairment may cause malnutrition following oral cancer treatment in a single-center cross-sectional study.

Oral dysfunction and dysphagia after oral cancer treatment are linked to altered nutritional status. We aimed to identify specific oral functions related to nutritional status. We conducted a cross-sectional study from September 2019 to December 2021, recruited 75 participants (median age: 72.

Critical behavior of nonequilibrium depinning transitions for vortices driven by current and vortex density.

We study the critical dynamics of vortices associated with dynamic disordering near the depinning transitions driven by dc force (dc current I) and vortex density (magnetic field B). Independent of the driving parameters, I and B, we observe the critical behavior of the depinning transitions, not only on the moving side, but also on the pinned side of the transition, which is the first convincing verification of the theoretical prediction. Relaxation times, [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], to reach either the moving or pinned state, plotted against I and B, respectively, exhibit a power-law divergence at the depinning thresholds.

[A Case of Treatment Applicable to Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Tongue by Mass Screening Examination of Oral Cancer in Western Part of the Shimane Prefecture].

Radical excision, a common oral cancer treatment, produces variable postoperative results depending on the specialized tissues involved and the extent of the cancer. Furthermore, the material selected for reconstruction also influences functional outcomes. Oral dysfunction due to postoperative tissue loss is more common with advanced cancer; therefore, early detection and treatment are important.
