Assim, varias pesquisas vem tentando detectar alteracoes morfologicas ou identificar biomarcadores que possam apresentar poder preditivo de recidiva e metastase e novas estrategias e/ou opcoes terapeuticas mais individualizadas com intuito de melhorar o prognostico destes pacientes. O fator do choque termico 1 (HSF1) atua de diferentes formas na progressao tumoral, favorecendo o surgimento, desenvolvimento e invasividade tumoral e sua superexpressao vem sendo pesquisada em neoplasias. Esta pesquisa objetivou analisar se a forma fosforilada do fator de choque termico 1 (p-HSF1) exerce alguma influencia na patogenese do CCELO. Foi realizado um estudo imunoistoquimico em 69 casos de CCELO, verificando-se a expressao do p-HSF1 e correlacionado esta imunoexpressao com alguns parâmetros clinicopatologicos e sobrevida dos pacientes.

Consequently, an oral SCC, particularly in its early stage, may not be considered suspicious by a clinician, thereby delaying diagnosis. Delayed diagnosis of an oral SCC could result in more advanced disease at the time of treatment, leading to more extensive and costly treatment, greater morbidity and poorer survival. The aim of this study was to identify cases of oral SCC treated at Southern Heath (Melbourne, Australia) with a history of prediagnosis dental treatment, and to determine the delay between dental treatment and appropriate surgical assessment of the oral SCC. Methods Patients were identified from the head and neck tumour database at Southern Health who met the inclusion criteria and relevant data were recorded. Results Twelve patients met the inclusion criteria and 83% of cases involved the mandible. Dental extraction was the most common prediagnosis treatment perform...

O envolvimento da região maxilofacial é incomum, mas pode envolver os ápices dentários. O objetivo deste trabalho é descrever um caso clínico de mieloma múltiplo recidivante que mimetizou lesão endodôntica. Doente, 75 anos, sexo feminino, procurou atendimento odontológico de urgência devido a aumento de volume na mandíbula, na região dos dentes 44 e 45, semelhante a celulite odontogénica. Foi realizado o tratamento odontológico de urgência do dente 45, seguido de posterior tomografia computadorizada e biópsia incisional, devido a diagnóstico pregresso de mieloma múltiplo. O exame de imagem revelou lesão osteolítica, envolvendo o ápice dos dentes 44 e 45. O exame histológico evidenciou proliferação de células com morfologia plasmocitóide e atipia, que invadiam o tecido conjuntivo, confirmando o diagnóstico de mieloma múltiplo recidivante. A paciente foi encaminhada a tratamento oncológico e encontra-se estável até hoje. (Rev Port Estomatol Med Dent Cir Maxilofac.

Objective: showing a case of a bifocal granular cell tumor affecting buccal mucosa and revealing some clinical and microscopic characteristics of this lesion. Clinic Case: This paper showed a case of a 60 yr-old female who presented two small nodules with smooth and regular surfaces, fibroelastic consistence and yellowish coloration. These two lesions were excised and granular cell tumor was diagnosed microscopically for both. The patient are following without signs of recurrence. Comment: the definitive diagnosis of this lesion was obtained across to microscopic analysis, due to non specific clinical features, being mandatory to perform excisional biopsy. The patient is following up for six months without signs of recurrence.

Large lesions are relatively rare and lower lip is not a very usual site. This is characterized as a slow growing lesion which might reach large dimensions and are usually asymptomatic. Objective: to show a case of giant lipoma affecting lower lip and to comment on its clinical and microscopic features. Case report: in this study, we describe a case of giant lipoma affecting lower lip of a 55 years-old male with an asymptomatic evolution of eight years. We performed a complete excision, and the histopathological examination revealed a lipoma. Conclusions: actually, the patient is under follow up without signs of recurrence. The clinical and microscopic characteristics were very important for the diagnosis.

Acredito que não poderíamos ter um tema mais pertinente, já que 2020 foi um ano marcante em todo o mundo devido aos impactos gerados pela pandemia da COVID-19 em nossa organização social. Ao se falar em pandemia, é impossível não lembrar das milhares de famílias brasileiras que sofreram de forma mais intensa os efeitos dela em suas vidas, principalmente pela perda de entes queridos. Por isso, em nome de toda a Comissão Organizadora do evento deixo aqui registrada a nossa solidariedade a todas estas famílias. A palavra do ano foi ADAPTAÇÃO, e no âmbito acadêmico não foi diferente. Os professores tiveram que sair da zona de conforto e se adaptarem a novas formas de ensinar, e os alunos a formas inovadoras de aprender tornando-se mais autônomos e protagonistas do processo de aprendizagem.

Our approach jointly models a size purchased by a customer, and its possible return event: 1. no return, 2. returned too small 3. returned too big. Those events are drawn following a multinomial distribution parameterized on the joint probability of each event, built following a hierarchy combining priors. Such a model allows us to incorporate extended domain expertise and article characteristics as prior knowledge, which in turn makes it possible for the underlying parameters to emerge thanks to sufficient data. Experiments are presented on real (anonymized) data from millions of customers along with a detailed discussion on the efficiency of such an approach within a large scale production system.

The purpose of this paper is to report a case of OLEC. Female patient, white, 62 years old, presented asymptomatic nodular swelling of soft consistency in the lateral border of the tongue. Under the clinical hypothesis of lymphoid tissue hyperplasia, an excisional biopsy was performed. Histopathological examination revealed a pathological epithelial-lined cavity and a cystic connective tissue capsule containing lymphoid tissue. The diagnosis of OLEC was established and the patient showed no signs of recurrence after surgical removal of the lesion.

METHODS Eighty blocks (5.25×3.74×4.5 mm) of a zirconia-based ceramic were divided into eight groups (N.=10) according to the factors "surface treatment" (air-particle abrasion with Al2O3 or Al2O3/SiO2 and zirconia primer) and "cement" (conventional resin cement and self-adhesive resin cement). After the surface treatments, cylinders of each resin cement (Ø=3.5 mm, height: 3 mm) were built up on the zirconia surface and photo-activated (40 s). The samples were stored in water for 30 days at 37 °C, followed by shear bond strength test in a universal testing machine (1 mm/min). Data were analyzed by ANOVA and Tukey test (α=0.05). RESULTS Regarding the surface treatments, all strategies were statistically different from each other. The Cojet achieved the higher bond strength values, followed by Signum Zirconia Bond. The resin cements were also statistically different from each other, since the U200 achieved higher bond strength values. The interaction between the factors was also significant. Most of the failures were adhesive and mixed. CONCLUSIONS Regardless of the cement used, the air-particle abrasion with alumina coated by silica particles improved bond strength.

To the best of our knowledge, only 9 cases of pigmented OKC have been published in English-language literature. This report describes a pigmented OKC in a 14-year-old black male patient. Radiographically, the lesion appeared as a well-circumscribed, unilocular, and radiolucent image. A surgical excision was performed. Histopathological examination revealed an OKC. Additionally, a brownish, sparsed, intracytoplasmic pigmentation was observed in the basal cell layer, which was positive for Fontana-Masson staining. Immunohistochemistry reactions revealed positive dendritic cells for S-100 protein, HMB45 and Melan A. No clinical and imaging signs of recurrence were observed after 24 months. In conclusion, melanin apparently does not represent a factor for distinct biological behavior in OKC.
