Abstract

This retrospective study evaluated data pertaining to the history, symptoms, treatment, and prognosis of a series of patients treated for acinic cell carcinoma (ACC). Data were based on the records of 35 patients. Follow-up was done by analyzing their records and contacting the referring doctors. In 71% of the ACC patients, painful swelling of the lateral region of the face was the main symptom. Facial paralysis occurred in 11% of cases before treatment. Tumor recurrence after therapy was noted in 42% of cases. Highly differentiated ACC was the most frequent histologic subtype (74%). The grade of differentiation of the tumor was decisive for the prognosis. Highly differentiated ACC had a better prognosis (2 years overall survival, 100%; 5 years overall survival, 83%; 10 years overall survival, 50%) than lowly differentiated tumors (2 years overall survival, 70%; 5 years overall survival, 50%; 10 years overall survival, 30%). ACC is a rare tumor located mainly in the parotid gland that is characterized by some special attributes. Surgery is the therapy of choice. Prognosis depends mainly on the histologic subtype.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
