Cancer genes alterations and HPV infection in oral squamous cell carcinoma
(Churchill Livingstone, Edinburgh, 2010)
The aim of this study was to gain a better understanding of cancer genes contributing to oral squamous cell (OSCC) development and progression and correlate genetic changes to clinical parameters. Human papilloma virus ...
Association between regional heterogeneity in the mid-facial bone micro-architecture and increased fragility along Le Fort lines
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2017)
Background/AimLe Fort lines have traditionally been considered as zones of weakness in the mid-facial skeleton although the structural basis of increased bone fragility at these sites has not yet been investigated. Considering ...
Gene-Gene Interactions Between Glutathione S-Transferase M1 and Matrix Metalloproteinases 1, 9, and 12 in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease in Serbians
(Taylor & Francis Inc, Philadelphia, 2017)
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a complex disorder influenced by multiple genetic and environmental factors, as well as their interactions. Since elevated oxidative stress and protease activity characterize ...
In Vivo Confocal Microscopy of a Corneoscleral Epithelial Cyst After Spontaneous Marsupialization
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, Philadelphia, 2013)
Purpose: To report a case of an advanced corneoscleral epithelial cyst, healed by a spontaneous marsupialization and analyzed with in vivo confocal microscopy (IVCM). Methods: A 10-year-old boy with a corneoscleral epithelial ...
Cardiovascular variability and beta-ARs gene expression at two stages of doxorubicin - Induced cardiomyopathy
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, San Diego, 2019)
Using comprehensive analysis of heart rate (HRV) and blood pressure (BPV) short-term variability we estimated the time course of changes of autonomic nervous system remodeling in two stages of doxorubicin-induced cardiomyopathy ...
Glutathione-S-transferase M1 polymorphism and pro-inflammatory cytokines tumour necrosis factor-alpha and interleukin-1 beta are associated with preeclampsia in Serbian women
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2019)
Problem Preeclampsia has a multifactorial origin with genetic, immunological, and environmental factors described as main contributors to its onset. This study aimed to investigate glutathione-S-transferase M1 (GSTM1) and ...
Quality of life after surgical excision followed by radiotherapy for cancer of the tongue and floor of the mouth: evaluation of 78 patients
(Churchill Livingstone, Edinburgh, 1999)
The aim of this study was to evaluate the quality of life of 78 patients treated for cancer of the tongue and the floor of the mouth, by subjective impressions and by objective assessment through different types of tests. ...
Mandibular nerve block at the oval foramen using reliable landmarks: refinement of a previously described procedure
(Churchill Livingstone, Edinburgh, 2002)
The aim of this study was to improve the injection technique when blocking the mandibular nerve at the oval foramen by using consistent landmarks. The lower lateral orbital angle (LLOA) and the junction of the external ...
Association of dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR)-317AA genotype with poor response to methotrexate in patients with rheumatoid arthritis
(Clinical & Exper Rheumatology, Pisa, 2012)
Objectives Identifying genetic predictors of methotrexate (MTX) treatment response in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) may have great importance for optimising drug doses required for clinical benefit without toxicity. ...
Human cytomegalovirus is present in odontogenic cysts
(Blackwell Publishing, Oxford, 2007)
Introduction: Recent studies suggest that some viruses, including human cytomegalovirus (CMV), may be involved in the pathogenesis of periapical lesions. Since periapical cysts (PCs) represent the next stage in the evolution ...
