TL;DR: This work reports a case of oral cavity ACC in a 54-year-old woman, and for the second time H2S concentrations have been directly quantified inside a human tumor, indicating that alterations in H 2S synthesis and metabolism may be important in the pathobiology of ACC.

TL;DR: A 3-dimensional strut plate applied to symphysis fractures provides adequate fracture stabilization with a risk of complications comparable to that of more traditional fixation methods, and has the added advantage of minimal manipulation and adaptation.

TL;DR: The data indicate that NAMPT plays a role in bone sarcomas and GCTs, and its higher expression may contribute to increased tumor aggressiveness.

TL;DR: A novel application of a commercially available porcine urinary bladder extracellular matrix, MatriStem, is established in the salvage of partial loss of the skin paddle of a fibula osteoseptocutaneous free flap that was utilized for mandibular reconstruction.

TL;DR: The results replicate those of two previous studies where the H2S-synthesizing enzymes are increased in a malignant tumor, while free H2H2S is either not increased or only slightly increased, suggesting that malignant tumors rapidly metabolize H1S as part of tumor maintenance and growth.
