Deep neck space infections: an upward trend and changing characteristics
<p>Purpose This study reviews our experience with deep neck space infections (DNIs) requiring surgical intervention, includingcervical necrotizing fasciitis. The aim of the study was to identify predisposing and aggravating ...
Cisplatin overcomes radiotherapy resistance in OCT4-expressing head and neck squamous cell carcinoma
<p><strong>Objectives: </strong>Cisplatin is combined with radiotherapy for advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). While providing a beneficial effect on survival, it also causes side effects and thus is ...
Functional and quality of life outcomes after partial glossectomy: a multi-institutional longitudinal study of the head and neck research network
Background: While aggressive treatment for oral cancer may optimize survival, decrements in speech and swallowing function and quality of life often result. This exploratory study investigated how patients recover their ...
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-encoded small RNAs (EBERs) associated with poor prognosis of head and neck carcinomas
<p><strong>BACKGROUND:</strong> Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is the main cause of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), also found in other head and neck carcinomas (HNSCCs) where its role remains controversial.</p><p><strong>RESU ...
Scattering of therapeutic radiation in the presence of craniofacial bone reconstruction materials
<h3>Purpose</h3><p>Radiation scattering from bone reconstruction materials can cause problems from prolonged healing to osteoradionecrosis. Glass fiber reinforced composite (FRC) has been introduced for bone reconstruction ...
Load-bearing capacity and fracture behavior of glass fiber-reinforced composite cranioplasty implants
Background: Glass fiber-reinforced composites (FRCs) have been adapted for routine clinical use in various dental restorations and are presently also used in cranial implants. The aim of this study was to measure the ...
Clinical and prognostic significance of emergency MRI findings in neck infections
<p>Objectives <br></p><p>Due to its superior soft-tissue contrast and ability to delineate abscesses, MRI has high diagnostic accuracy in neck infections. Whether MRI findings can predict the clinical course in these ...
Biomaterial and implant induced ossification: in vitro and in vivo findings
Material-induced ossification is suggested as a suitable approach to heal large bone defects. Fiber-reinforced composite-bioactive glasses (FRC-BG) display properties which could enhance the ossification of calvarial ...
Intensity of artefacts in cone beam CT examinations caused by titanium and glass fibre-reinforced composite implants
Objectives:<br />The aim was to compare titanium and glass fibre-reinforced composite (FRC) orbital floor implants using cone beam CT (CBCT). FRC implants are nonmetallic and these implants have not been analysed in CBCT ...
MRI of odontogenic maxillofacial infections: diagnostic accuracy and reliability
<p><strong>Objectives</strong> To determine the diagnostic accuracy of emergency magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in odontogenic maxillofacial infections, the clinical and surgical significance of MRI findings, and whether ...
