The glands may suffer from viral, bacterial, and, albeit rarely, fungal infections, which may cause painful swelling or obstruction; they could also become the target of an autoimmune attack or may be affected by various benign and malignant tumors which consist of a heterogeneous group of lesions with complex clinical-pathological characteristics. The loss of normal SG function results in widespread deterioration of oral health. This book, entitled "Diseases of Salivary Glands", provides an overview of recent advances in the field of SG disorders, focusing on the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of SG diseases and on the most innovative investigation techniques that could help to preserve patients' health, function, and quality of life.Medicine and Nursingbicsscacinaradaptive cellsautoimmune diseaseautoimmune diseasesautoimmunityB-cell lymphomabystander effectchronic kidney diseasediagnosisductaldynamicEpstein-Barr virusextranodal marginal zone lymphomaHashimoto's diseasehead and neck cancerHTLV-1hyposalivationimagingimmortalizationin situ carcinomainflammationinnate cellsintra-cystic carcinomamagnetic resonance imagingMALT lymphomaminor salivary glandsMR sialographymucoepidermoid carcinoman/aNF-κBnitrosative stressoral candidiasisoxidative stressP2 receptorsphysiopathologypositron emission tomographyprimary breast lymphomaprimary Sjögren's syndromepurinergic signalingradiationradioprotectionreviewsalivasalivary biomarkerssalivary glandsalivary gland carcinomasalivary gland dysfunctionsalivary gland epithelial cellsalivary gland scintigraphysalivary gland ultrasonographysalivary glandsSGECsialendoscopysialographySjögren syndromeSjögren's syndromespheroidsublingual gland ductstreatmentviral infectionxerostomiaMedicine and NursingSisto Margheritaedt1302756Sisto MargheritaothBOOK9910557438203321Diseases of the Salivary Glands3026519UNINA
