Salivary gland tumors are uncommon representing only 3% of all head and neck cancers, which in turn account for 3% of all malignancies. The American joint cancer committee's (AJCC) tumor, node, metastasis (TNM) has defined a staging system for major salivary gland malignancies. Cancer from minor salivary gland scattered throughout all the head and neck mucosa are staged according to the AJCC system. Surgery of primary tumor, whenever possible, is the treatment of choice both for major and minor salivary gland tumors. A clinically positive neck requires a neck dissection along with the...

The clinician should conversant with these drugs and basic principles of using them effectively. It is hoped that the book will assist the reader in planning an affordable antimicrobial therapy for an infection.

In this book,research work in symmetric and asymmetric cryptography at elementary as well as advanced level has been propagated. Some problems discussed here are beyond DES (a symmetric-key cryptosystem), RSA (a public-key cryptosystem) and are on ongoing research areas in different phases of cryptography. Lattice-based systems and NTRU offer, in principle,very good speed. They are also expected to survive the development of fairly sized quantum computers, because they are based on problems for which no quantum algorithm is known for the general case. The RSA scheme relies on the difficult of...
