Surgical techniques for treatment of Eagle's syndrome have many advantages and disadvantages. We believe that the length of the styloid process or the calcified ligament is a decisive parameter for the selection of techniques and approach.
Ballet dancers had significantly lower values of body mass and BMI, compared to the study group. In order to prevent very serious complications caused by changes in size and proportion of some body compartments, it is necessary to carry out assessment of body composition more often in high-risk groups, such as the study group of ballet dancers.
Introduction. Oral squamous cell carcinoma is the sixth most common carcinoma in the world. Annually, it accounts for 5% of all newly discovered cancers. The most important prognostic factor is the stage of the disease. The tumor, node, and metastasis staging system has been the cornerstone for clinical classification of oral squamous cell carcinoma. Material and Methods. The study included 65 patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma who underwent surgery at the Clinic of Maxillofacial Surgery of the Clinical Center of Vojvodina in Novi Sad. The tumor, node, and metastasis status was determined according to 7 th and 8 th edition of the tumor, node, and metastasis classification. Results. Statistical differences between the 7 th and 8 th edition of tumor, node, and metastasis classification were examined. There was also a change in the nodal status; in 20% of patients there was a transition from N1 to N2, as a result of a more precise definition of nodal status in patients with oral carcinoma. Conclusion. This research has pointed out the significance of tumor size as a predictive factor in oral squamous cell carcinoma, which indicates the importance of its local control (for surgical and radiological treatment). The 8 th edition of the tumor, node, and metastasis classification for oral cavity cancers made a significant shift by clearly defining depth of tumor invasion into the tumor status.
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.
