Unlabelled: The study aims to analyze the outcomes of buccal mucosa and lingual mucosa graft reconstruction for repairing ureteral strictures, assessing the efficacy and safety of both surgical approaches.
Methods: A computer search was conducted on PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science using keywords such as "buccal mucosa", "lingual mucosa", "oral mucosa", "ureteral stenosis", and "ureteral reconstruction" to gather relevant literature on lingual mucosa and the efficacy of buccal mucosal reconstruction for ureteral repair. The search spanned from January 2000 to March 2024, focusing on experiments that assessed LMGU (lingual mucosa graft ureteroplasty) or BMGU (buccal mucosa graft ureteroplasty). Variables examined included reconstruction success rate, intraoperative blood loss, stricture length, and perioperative complications. Sensitivity analysis was employed to assess result stability, while funnel plots were utilized to evaluate publication bias in the literature.
Result: A total of 16 single-arm studies were included in the analysis. The combined reconstruction success rates for the LMGU group and BMGU group were 99% (95% CI 95%-100%) and 95% (95% CI 91%-98%) respectively. The mean operation time for the LMGU group was 208.62 minutes (95% CI 181.56-235.68) and for the BMGU group was 190.65 minutes (95% CI 164.38-216.93). Intraoperative blood loss volumes for the LMGU group and BMGU group were 62.33ml (95% CI 43.15-81.51) and 113.44ml (95% CI 77.64-146.23) respectively. Stenosis lengths in the LMGU group and BMGU group were 3.98cm (95% CI 3.27-4.69) and 4.12cm (95% CI 3.24-5) respectively, with a maximum stenosis length repaired of 8cm in both groups. The incidence of postoperative complications was 25% (95% CI 15%-36%) in the BMGU group and 18% (95% CI 11%-26%) in the LMGU group.
Conclusion: LMGU (lingual mucosa graft ureteroplasty) and BMGU (buccal mucosa graft ureteroplasty) are both effective and safe surgical methods for the treatment of long-segment ureteral stenosis. They have shown high effectiveness in treating mid- and upper-segment ureteral stenosis≤8cm.

Paediatric Head and Neck Hemangiomas: Scopes, Challenges and Outcome of Surgical Management.
Indian J Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg

Department of ENT, Patna Medical College Hospital, Patna, India.
Haemangiomas are benign vascular tumours frequently encountered in head and neck region. The different systems of nomenclature leading to terminological confusion and management protocols for vascular lesions have been contentious issues and have undergone substantial paradigm shift over the years. A policy has been the mainstay of treatment owing to spontaneous regression of majority of paediatric hemangiomas along with sclerotherapy, laser therapy, drug therapy and radiotherapy.

Oral mucosal lesions in Polish patients with acute myeloid leukemia after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation.
Sci Rep

Department of Dental Surgery, Periodontology and Oral Mucosa Diseases, Poznań University of Medical Sciences, 70 Bukowska Street, Poznań, 60-812, Poland.
The number of allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation constantly increases. Therefore, there is an urgent need to carefully analyze the general and oral health state of people with acute myeloid leukemia who underwent this procedure. This study aimed to investigate the type and frequency of oral mucosal lesions in patients with acute myeloid leukemia after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation, depending on the intensity of the conditioning regimen.

Annu Int Conf IEEE Eng Med Biol Soc
July 2024
Upon contact, the spike firing patterns of touch afferents encode object attributes such as force, vibration, and spatial geometry. Computational models in cutaneous skin have sought to emulate firing patterns of slowly and rapidly adapting afferents. Herein, for the tongue, we develop biophysical versions of such models, and which rely upon functions and parameters with physiological relevance, as opposed to stimulus features, and are extendable to a broad range of object interactions.

Objectives: Taking care of a patient with head-and-neck malignancy (HNM) entails enormous physical, emotional, cognitive and moral challenges. Caregivers frequently turn to spiritual practices such as prayer, offering and meditation to enhance inner strength and coping ability. Assessment of caregiver burden (CGB) would remain incomplete without considering spiritual well-being (SWB).
