Dreaming under anesthesia: is it a real possiblity? Investigation of the effect of preoperative imagination on the quality of postoperative dream recalls.

Background: Images evoked immediately before the induction of anesthesia by means of suggestions may influence dreaming during anesthesia. This study is a retrospective re-evaluation of the original prospective randomized trial.

Methods: Dream reports were studied in two groups.

[Branchiogen cyst at unusual age and in rare localization. A case report].

Branchiogen anomalies represent a heterogeneous group of developmental abnormalities, they arise from incomplete obliteration of branchial clefts and pouches during embriogenesis. Clinically they can present as a cyst, fistula or sinus. Second cleft lesions account for 95% of the branchial anomalies.

The effect of preoperative suggestions on perioperative dreams and dream recalls after administration of different general anesthetic combinations: a randomized trial in maxillofacial surgery.

Background: Images evoked immediately before the induction of anesthesia with the help of suggestions may influence dreaming during anesthesia.The aim of the study was to assess the incidence of evoked dreams and dream recalls by employing suggestions before induction of anesthesia while administering different general anesthetic combinations.

Methods: This is a single center, prospective randomized including 270 adult patients scheduled for maxillofacial surgical interventions.

Frequency of genetic and epigenetic alterations of p14ARF and p16INK4A in head and neck cancer in a Hungarian population.

Occurrence of genetic and epigenetic alterations affecting p14ARF and p16INK4A were investigated in tumour samples of 37 oral (OSCC) and 28 laryngeal squamous cell cancer (LSCC) patients, and compared to exfoliated buccal epithelial cells of 68 healthy controls. Presence of deletions and mutations/polymorphisms affecting exons were examined using sequencing. Methylation status of promoters was assessed by methylation-specific PCR.

[Osteonecrosis of the jaw developing during bisphosphonate treatment].

The article discusses osteonecrosis of the jaw as a possible side effect of bisphosphonate treatment. It provides practical guidelines for prevention, diagnosis and management of bisphosphonate-associated osteonecrosis according to literature and clinical evidence. Since controlled clinical trials have not been carried out, the recommendations are based on reviews, reports and clinical experience.

Oral cancer report from Northeastern Hungary.

In Hungary oral and pharyngeal cancers have been reported the fourth most common malignancy in males and the sixth for both sexes. The aim of the present study was to characterize oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) patients in Northeastern Hungary. 119 randomly selected patients with OSCC were included in the study.

[Oral squamous cell carcinoma in north-eastern Hungary. II. Etiological factors].

The purpose of this study is to determine the possible etiological factors of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) in North-Eastern Hungary. The medical records of 119 randomly selected patients with OSCC admitted to the Department of Maxillofacial Surgery of the Faculty of Dentistry, University of Debrecen were reviewed. The following risk factors were investigated: tobacco and alcohol consumption, dental status, rural vs.

[Oral squamous sell carcinoma in North-Eastern Hungary I. Epidemiology].

The purpose of this study was to characterize the epidemiological data of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) patients in North-Eastern Hungary. The medical records of 119 randomly selected patients with OSCC admitted to the Department of Maxillofacial Surgery of the Faculty of Dentistry, University of Debrecen were reviewed. Cases were identified according to the epidemiological data, as to site, tumor size, lymph node involvement, clinical stage, histological differentiation, treatment obtained, recurrence of disease and survival rate.

Rare, late complications in a patient with Hodgkin's disease.

We report a unique case of a cured Hodgkin's disease patient who developed several complications decades after mantle and neck radiation therapy. First on the right, then years later on the left side of the neck a pharyngocutaneous fistula developed complicated by rupture of the carotid arteries on both sides necessitating their ligation. The fistula on the right side was successfully closed by plastic surgery, but the one on the left side is still a problem as severe hypoperfusion of the brain limits therapeutic possibilities.
