FLIXENE™ can be cannulated for dialysis within 3 days. It has similar patency and complication rates as other prosthetic grafts in the market. In patients who have no access and require urgent dialysis, FLIXENE™ is a viable option.
Oral epithelial dysplasia (OED) represents a spectrum of histologic changes in the oral cavity mucosa that has the potential to transform into oral squamous cell carcinoma. Predicting the risk of malignant transformation is predominantly based on clinicopathologic correlation, histologic examination and grading. OED often poses a diagnostic challenge, primarily due to its histologic mimics and a large number of terminologies used in the literature. The grading system for OED is also fraught with significant interobserver variability. This review summarizes the essential clinical and histopathologic features of OED and its mimics. Practical preanalytical, analytical, and postanalytical considerations for anatomic pathologists are discussed to improve the diagnostic accuracy and increase the reproducibility in the grading of OED.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
