Carcinoma developing in ectopic pancreatic tissue in the stomach: a case report
The development of pancreatic tissue outside the confines of the main gland, without anatomic or vascular connections between them, is a congenital abnormality referred to as heterotopic pancreas. A heterotopic pancreas in the gastrointestinal tract is usually discovered incidentally and the risk of its malignant transformation is extremely low. In this study, we describe the first case of endoepithelial carcinoma arising in a gastric heterotopic pancreas of a 56-year old woman in Greece. She presented with epigastric pain, periodic nausea and vomiting. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy revealed an ulcerated lesion in the gastric antrum, biopsies of which showed intense epithelial dysplasia with incipient malignant degeneration. The pathology report of the distal gastrectomy specimen demonstrated a 2 cm in diameter ulcerative mass in the gastric antrum. Microscopically, an endoepithelial (in situ) carcinoma of the gastric antrum was determined, which in places turned into an microinvasive endomucosal adenocarcinoma. It also incidentally demonstrated heterotopic pancreatic ducts, detected within the mucosa to the muscularis propria of the same region of the stomach, in which an endoepithelial (in situ) carcinoma was evolving. The follow-up course was uneventful 6 months postoperatively

SALIVA AS A POTENTIAL DIAGNOSTIC OF BIOMARKER OF ORAL AND SYSTEMIC DISEASES: SALIVA SEBAGAI BIOMARKER POTENSIAL DIAGNOSTIK PENYAKIT RONGGA MULUT DAN SISTEMIK
Saliva is a biological fluid that is secreted by the major, minor and other accessories salivary glands. Saliva has a high potential as an indicator that reflects the health of our body. Saliva also plays an important role as a protector, lubricate oral structure with mucin, set a neutral pH through the buffer capacity, clean the oral cavity, stimulate wound healing, help the taste buds in the taste of food, facilitate the process of chewing food, form a bolus and make it easier swallowing, and minimize food particles through the activity of the enzyme amylase and lipase. The use of saliva as a biomarker in diagnosing provide more advantages than the serum and other body fluids due to using non-invasive techniques, cost-efficient, as well as methods for collecting samples for disease screening without the need to train professional personnel. The benefits derived from the saliva as a biomarker are early detection and screening of disease to the development of caries, periodontal disease, tumors and malignancy, hereditary, wound healing, autoimmune disease, infectious diseases, cardiovascular diseases, drug monitoring, forensic, and the psychological influence. At this time, the function of saliva as a diagnostic biomarker is not widely known, therefore the development of salivary further enhance because it can produce functional similarities with serum and reflect the body's physiological status in the oral cavity and systemic disease.

Queen of Sounds Maria Szymanowska
This article aims to illuminate the remarkable yet often overlooked contributions of Maria Szymanowska (1789-1831), a Polish pianist and composer whose significance in the musical landscape of the early 19th century deserves renewed attention. Drawing upon a wealth of archival documents and contemporaneous recollections, a detailed portrait of Szymanowska’s life and artistic endeavours is meticulously crafted. Central to the narrative of Szymanowska’s life are her enduring friendships with Princess Zinaida Volkonskaya and Princess Varvara Gorchakova. Through an in-depth exploration of their relationships, we gain insight into the social milieu in which Szymanowska operated, as well as the profound influence these connections had on her personal and professional development. In examining Szymanowska’s life and legacy, this article seeks to restore her rightful place in the annals of music history. By shedding light on her achievements and enduring influence, we honor the memory of a pioneering artist whose contributions continue to resonate with audiences around the world
