RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To review tumors identified as "clear cell sarcoma" in order to determine similarities to the rare EWS fusion positive jaw and salivary gland tumors clear cell odontogenic carcinoma (CCOC) and clear cell carcinoma of the salivary gland (CCC). METHODS: PubMed was used to collect all reports of clear cell sarcoma (CCS). Search parameters were "clear cell sarcoma" and "CCS." References in the publications were screened and cross-referenced. Data extracted included demographic characteristics, presenting signs and symptoms, radiographic findings, histological and immunohistochemical features and known molecular/genetic aberrations. RESULTS: Clear cell sarcoma has several similarities to CCOC and CCC. All three tumor types have similar histologic appearances including the presence of clear cells, as well as similar genetic profiles in that all harbor an EWSR1-CREB family fusions. Additionally, these tumors appear in soft tissue as well as bone, and can have a prolonged clinical course. CCS can appear anywhere in the body, including the head and neck region. All three tumors appear to have a predilection to women, although CCS may have a slight younger age of onset as compared to CCOC and CCC (3rd vs 5th decade of life, respectively). CONCLUSION: Gaining a better understanding of the similarities and differences between these three tumors may lead to a better understanding of each one.

RESUMO

In the backdrop of telemedicine's rise, this review explores its integration into oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMFS), especially given the healthcare access challenges faced by nearly 20% of the rural population in the United States of America. The study underscores the potential of telemedicine to address disparities in access to OMFS care, particularly in rural areas, by improving patient care, reducing travel needs, and fostering collaborative diagnosis and treatment. The findings advocate for broader adoption of telemedicine in OMFS, contingent upon supportive policy and infrastructure changes.

RESUMO

This review paper delves into the comparative study of epinephrine and phenylephrine as vasoconstrictors in dental anesthesia, exploring their histories, pharmacological properties, and clinical applications. The study involved a comprehensive literature search, focusing on articles that directly compared the two agents in terms of efficacy, safety, and prevalence in dental anesthesia. Epinephrine, with its broad receptor profile, has been a predominant choice, slightly outperforming in the context of prolonging dental anesthesia and providing superior hemostasis, which is crucial for various dental procedures. However, the stimulation of beta-adrenergic receptors caused by epinephrine poses risks, especially to patients with cardiovascular conditions. Phenylephrine, a selective alpha-1 adrenergic agonist, emerges as a safer alternative for such patients, avoiding the cardiovascular risks associated with epinephrine. Moreover, its vasoconstrictive effect may not be as deleterious as that of epinephrine, due to its selective action. This review reveals that despite the potential benefits of phenylephrine, epinephrine continues to dominate in clinical settings, due to its historical familiarity, availability, and cost-effectiveness. The lack of commercially available pre-made phenylephrine dental carpules in most countries, except Brazil, and a knowledge gap within dental academia regarding phenylephrine, contribute to its limited use. This review concludes that while both agents are effective, the choice between them should be based on individual patient conditions, availability, and the practitioner's knowledge and familiarity with the agents. The underuse of other vasoconstrictors like levonordefrin and the unavailability of phenylephrine in pre-mixed dental cartridges in many countries highlights the need for further exploration and research in this field. Furthermore, we also delve into the role of levonordefrin and examine the rationale behind the exclusion of phenylephrine from commercially available pre-mixed local anesthetic carpules, suggesting a need for a responsive approach from pharmaceutical manufacturers to the distinct needs of the dental community.
