Salivary lithiasis is more frequently encountered in patients with Wharton's duct. They are often treated with a minimally invasive technique, such as sialendoscopy. The problem with sialendoscopy, in some cases, has been that it will not be possible to cannulate the papilla and, thus, sialendoscopy will not be feasible. Therefore, we have developed and detailed a retropapillary approach to cannulate Wharton's duct in such cases.

Prognostic factors and survival outcomes in patients with salivary duct carcinoma: a retrospective cohort study.
BMC Oral Health
January 2025
Department of Stomatology, Chinese PLA General Hospital, Beijing, China.
Background: Salivary duct carcinoma (SDC) is a highly aggressive salivary gland malignancy with poor prognosis. The aim was to investigate the prognostic factors and survival outcomes in a cohort of SDC patients.
Materials And Methods: This study retrospectively analyzed the clinicopathological data of 61 SDC patients treated at the First Medical Center of the PLA General Hospital between January 2010 and December 2020.
Neratinib and the Role of Anti-HER2 Therapy in Salivary Duct Carcinoma.
Cancer Rep (Hoboken)
January 2025
Department of Oncology and Hematology, Azienda Ospedaliero-Universitaria di Modena, Modena, Italy.
Backgroud: Salivary duct carcinoma (SDC) is a rare and aggressive malignancy with a generally dismal prognosis and no standard of care established, despite a known association with epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) and androgen receptor (AR) over-expression.
Case: We report the case of a 64-year-old female with extra- and intracranial metastases of SDC with evidence of AR and HER2 overexpression. After progression on first line chemotherapy, was administered neratinib, a pan-Erb2 receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor.
Large recurrent sialoliths in a residual Wharton duct after sialoadenectomy: Two case reports and literature review.
Medicine (Baltimore)
January 2025
Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery.
Rationale: When gland-preserving treatments are unsuccessful, sialoadenectomy is typically conducted for patients afflicted with submandibular gland diseases. The definitive treatment modality for these individuals is the removal of both the gland and the associated ducts. During surgery, the gland and the majority of the ducts can be excised utilizing the lateral transcervical approach, with residual ducts unlikely to develop pathology.

Sialolithiasis is a common cause of salivary gland obstruction, leading to symptoms such as pain and swelling. In cases of intraparenchymal submandibular stones and proximal ductal stones larger than 7 mm, interventional sialendoscopy may fail, necessitating sialoadenectomy. As an alternative, intraoral stone extraction can be performed with CT-guided navigation.

Article Synopsis
- Neonatal calf diarrhea frequently leads to dehydration and metabolic acidosis, impacting calf mortality, growth, and productivity, prompting interest in technological disease detection.
- The study explored the relationship between saliva conductivity and pH with clinical and biochemical indicators in calves, assessing the health of 141 dairy-bred calves from one week old until 25 days or until they developed diarrhea.
- Results indicated that while saliva pH decreased in calves with diarrhea, saliva conductivity showed no correlation with diarrhea or dehydration, highlighting the complexity of hydration status assessments in these animals.
