Carotid artery dissection (CAD) is a significant cause of ischemic stroke. Early recognition and treatment of CAD is important to prevent accompanying cerebral ischemia. This case report presents an atypical clinical presentation of CAD and emphasizes the diagnostic challenge for The human oral mucosa atrophies with aging, and at the same time, loss of teeth occurs and the muscles involved in mastication weaken, leading to masticatory hypofunction. The loss of teeth in animal is serious in that it leads to death. For humans, however, dental prosthesis may aim at functional
The case is a 62 years old male. No polyposis was found by upper gastrointestinal endoscopy or barium enema examination performed at the time of cholecystectomy in March 1994. Symptoms such as dysgeusia, diarrhea, loss of hair and atrophy of nails began to appear from May. Examination of the
The sensor of the taste is the taste bud. The signals originated from the taste buds are transmitted to the central nervous system through the gustatory taste nerves. The chorda tympani nerve (innervating the taste buds of the anterior tongue) and glossopharyngeal nerve (innervating the taste buds
A 66-year-old male patient presented with nausea, abdominal pain, occasional rectal bleeding, progressive dysgeusia, onicodystrophy, and alopecia. Endoscopic exam and biopsies revealed severe atrophy and diffuse marked edema of mucosa of stomach and duodenum. No evidence of polyps was found in any
A number of reports have been published describing the ultrastructure of normal taste buds but few have discussed their pathology, particularly in patients with gustatory abnormalities. We therefore conducted an electron microscopic study of biopsy specimens of glossal circumvallate papillae from
Xerostomia is a general term used to refer to dryness of oral mucosa, and is distinguished from a sense of thirst. Causes of xerostomia with a decrease in saliva which bears calcium metabolism such as recalcification of enamel canes include ; age-related atrophy of salivary gland, Sjögren's
BACKGROUND
Burning mouth syndrome (BMS) is characterized by chronic pain with a burning sensation of the tongue and oral mucosa and reported to be often accompanied by subjective xerostomia and dysgeusia. Since the etiology of BMS has not been elucidated, to understand the characteristics of BMS, we
BACKGROUND
Taste and smell dysfunction has been reported to occur in patients with a variety of clinical problems. We wanted to investigate a specific group of patients in whom taste and smell dysfunction occurred putatively related to a specific biochemical abnormality in a salivary growth factor
The therapeutic profile of enalapril in mild to moderate uncomplicated essential hypertension was assessed in 265 patients who participated in a multicenter, open-label, prospective study lasting eight weeks. There were 54 younger (aged 39 years or less), 136 middle-aged (40 to 59 years), and 75

In the pivotal phase III, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled RECOURSE study, treatment with trifluridine/tipiracil was well tolerated and associated with prolonged progression-free and overall survival in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). There was no formal
Pazopanib (Votrient(®)) is an orally administered multi-tyrosine kinase inhibitor that is approved in the EU, the US and other countries for the treatment of advanced renal cell carcinoma. Pazopanib predominantly inhibits vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-1, -2 and -3, platelet-derived
BACKGROUND
Patients subjected to long-term immunosuppressive therapy after organ and cells transplantation are more susceptible than healthy people to the development of the pathologic changes in the oral cavity, including precancerous lesions, oral cancers, lesions following viral infections
The aim of this study was to characterize the taste changes and taste bud atrophy observed in the period of neutropenia of HCT and to determine the influence of transplantation toxicity on these changes.Autologous and allogeneic HCT patients (n = 51) were Salivary gland destruction occurs as a result of various pathological conditions such as radiation therapy for head and neck cancer and Sjögren's syndrome. As saliva possesses self-cleaning and antibacterial capability, hyposalivation is known to deteriorate dental caries and periodontal disease.
