Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has provided new insights in molecular biology. Recently, some studies have been focused on temporal bone pathology, with amplification of DNA from fixed sections of celloidin‐embedded bones. The purpose of our study was to elucidate the utility of PCR in detection of minor concentrations of DNA from nonoptimal stored samples. We obtained geniculate ganglia ...... hiện toàn bộ

Chronic tobacco smoking and alcohol consumption are well‐established risk factors for the development of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the head and neck. There are, however, a variety of other habitual and culturally based activities that are less commonly seen in the Western world and that are also risks factors for the development of this type of cancer. In this era of globalization, ...... hiện toàn bộ
