Clinical Presentation The pleomorphic adenoma is a benign yet true neoplasm. It will continue to grow, or regrow if not completely excised, but it is incapable of metastasis. Seventy-five percent of tumors that occur in the parotid gland in adults are pleomorphic adenomas and 5% are Warthin tumors. Pleomorphic adenomas account for 45% of all […]

BLS Assessment The BLS Assessment is a systematic approach to BLS for trained healthcare providers. This approach stresses early CPR with basic airwav management and defibrillation but not advanced airwav techniques or drug administration. By using the BLS Assessment, any healthcare provider can support or restore effective oxygenation, ventilation, and circulation until the patient achieves
The main advantage of marsupialization and decompression is the preservation of important anatomical structures such as inferior alveolar nerve and the prevention of a consequent possible deformity. In marsupialization technique, a part of the KOT’s body is cut and removed followed by suturing the lesion’s exposed boundaries to the adjacent mucosa. The created surgical window

Article: Nitrous Oxide Review Nitrous oxide irreversibly oxidizes the cobalt ion in reduced vitamin B12. This inactivates vitamin B12, which is essential for the function of methionine synthetase. Methionine synthetase is necessary for the transmethylation of homocysteine to methionine. Methionine is an essential amino acid and thus its deficiency results in impaired DNA synthesis. Methionine
Beta-blockers exert their cardioprotective effects by multiple mechanisms including: 1. Reduction in myocardial demand via reduction in heart rate and contractility, Improvement in energy efficiency and outcome, 3. Antiarrhythmic effect, 4. Anti-inflammatory effect, 5. Antirenin and antiangiotensin properties. The effects on heart rate, contractility and energy substrate shift from fatty acids to glucose occur quickly.

Article: Coronectomy of Mandibular Third Molar Four Years of Follow Up of 130 Cases The problem of inferior alveolar nerve involvement during the removal of lower third molars is a clinical and, more recently, medicolegal issue. Because the results of damage to the inferior alveolar nerve are unpredictable in that many cases do recover but
