Metastatic tumours to the parotid: A 20-year single institutional experience with an emphasis on 14 unusual presentations.

The parotid gland is a rare site for distant metastasis. We aim to provide an overview of metastatic tumours to the parotid over the past 20 years, focusing on clinicopathological analysis of 14 rare diagnoses. To the best of our knowledge, we are the first group to present the most up-to-date and largest case series on unusual metastases to the parotid.

Rosai-Dorfman-Destombes disease in adults: a single center experience.

Recent advances in Rosai-Dorfman-Destombes disease (RDD), notably molecular testing, targeted therapy, and PET-CT imaging, hold promise for better recognition and improved outcomes. This study presents patients diagnosed and treated in a "real world" setting, where navigating limited resources must be considered. This retrospective single-center review includes 15 adult patients diagnosed with RDD at Vancouver General Hospital between November 2015 and October 2023.

Key role of Phyllanthus emblica L. fruit extract promotes ZVI/HO process: rich titratable acid, suitable chelating ability, and antioxidant capacity.

Phyllanthus emblica L. fruit extract (PFE) was introduced to improve ZVI/HO technology, and the efficiency and mechanism of PFE promoting ZVI/HO technology were explored. With the introduction of PFE, the Norfloxacin (NOR) removal rate and k of the process were improved by 41.
