Head and neck osteosarcoma is an uncommon yet aggressive tumor which presents therapeutic challenges to get favourable results. Surgery remained the most effective treatment modality in this entity eventhough chemoradiotherapy have been tried in various studies for better outcome but still not yet becomes the standard in the management of these cases unlike in extremity osteosarcoma. We present our experience in the management of this uncommon yet lethal malignant tumor, i.

The synthetic hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) homologous peptides may compete with the natural HN protein of PPR virus for binding to signaling lymphocytic activation molecule (SLAM) receptor, consequently, may disrupt peste des petits ruminants virus (PPRV) at entry level. Therefore, insilico analysis, synthesis, purification and subsequent characterization of HN homologous peptides were conducted in this study.
