Background: Lower lip squamous cell carcinoma is a significant subtype of head and neck cancer, constituting about 25-30% of cases. Traditional surgical methods, like primary closure, have limitations in managing large resections of lip tumors. Recent advancements in surgical techniques, particularly free flaps, have shown promising results in addressing these challenges.

This study aimed to evaluate global histone acetylation status and SIRT1 gene expression in children and adolescents with obesity and their association with metabolic and anthropometric parameters.
Methods: This study included 60 children and adolescents, 30 with obesity and 30 normal-weight.
Background: Programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) plays critical role in PD-1-dependent immunity suppress. Abnormal PD-L1 expression has shown to be directly related to poor prognosis and drug resistance in cancer patients. Hence, we aimed to evaluate PD-L1 expression in relapsing and remitting Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) as a prognostic factor.
