Imaging studies are essential components of tumor diagnosis, staging, assessing tumor response to neoadjuvant and adjuvant therapies, and postoperative surveillance on completion of definitive treatment. Treatment of early stage clinically node negative oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma is controversial. Approximately 3% of all head and neck tumors arise within the parotid gland and most often within the superficial lobe, lateral to the facial nerve; about 80% are benign and most are pleomorphic adenoma. In patients with dry eyes failing multiple other treatment modalities and facing ongoing pain and loss of vision, microvascular transplant of the submandibular gland is a viable option.

Cancer Med
January 2025
Department of Clinical and Administrative Pharmacy, College of Pharmacy, University of Georgia, Athens, Georgia, USA.
Introduction: Emerging evidence suggests potential cardiovascular toxicities from oral endocrine therapies (ETs); however, results are conflicting. This study comprehensively examined adverse reactions of ETs and investigated cardiovascular and metabolic safety signals within the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS).
Methods: Reports in the FAERS through December 2023 were analyzed for documented reactions to tamoxifen, letrozole, anastrozole, and exemestane in female breast cancer patients.
When trauma bites back: a systematic review on direct orofacial macrotrauma and temporomandibular disorders.
Clin Oral Investig
December 2024
Department of Orofacial Pain and Dysfunction, Academic Centre for Dentistry (ACTA), University of Amsterdam and Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
Objectives: Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) are musculoskeletal conditions with a multifactorial aetiology. The predictive role of direct orofacial macrotrauma in the development of TMD is considered controversial. This systematic review aims to elucidate the association between direct orofacial macrotrauma and TMD, and to identify potential factors involved in this relationship.

Head Neck
December 2024
Department of Head & Neck Surgery, Tata Memorial Hospital, Tata Memorial Centre, Homi Bhabha National Institute, Mumbai, India.
Objectives: To address controversies regarding target volume delineation for adjuvant intensity-modulated radiation therapy for oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma with pedicled flap reconstruction and elective nodal irradiation (ENI).
Materials And Methods: During target volume delineation, the primary tumor bed was the pre-surgical gross tumor volume with an additional isotropic margin of 5-10 mm. Additionally, the flap and body tissue junction were given a margin of 5-10 mm (if not already given).
Effect of perioperative dexmedetomidine on recovery of postoperative gastrointestinal function in patients with general anesthesia: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
BMC Anesthesiol
December 2024
Department of Anesthesiology, The First People's Hospital of Foshan, Lingnan Road 81#, Foshan City, 528000, China.
Background: There is controversy surrounding the influence of dexmedetomidine on the recovery of postoperative gastrointestinal dysfunction in patients under general anesthesia. The main purpose of this meta-analysis is to evaluate the effect of dexmedetomidine administration during the perioperative period on the recovery of gastrointestinal function in patients under general anesthesia.
Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis with trial sequential analysis was performed to identify randomized controlled trials comparing dexmedetomidine administration with placebo for the recovery of gastrointestinal function.
Fibula flap reconstruction for maxillary stage 3 medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw from recipient and donor site perspectives: a preliminary single-center study.
BMC Oral Health
December 2024
Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Fujian Medical University Union Hospital, Fuzhou, China.
Background: While the surgical treatment of mandibular stage 3 medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is well-documented, research on maxillary stage 3 MRONJ is limited. Antiresorptive medications can induce MRONJ and atypical femoral fracture (AFF), but their impact on the feasibility of using fibula flaps for reconstruction remains controversial. This study aimed to assess the surgical outcomes and functional recovery of fibula flap reconstruction for maxillary stage 3 MRONJ, considering both recipient and donor site outcomes.
