lymphoma is a neoplasm that usually affects children and adolescents, in adults it is usually related to HIV. It is considered to be highly malignant due to its rapid replication capacity. If it is detected in early stages, it may have a high degree of remission with chemotherapy, but in cases of late detection, survival is very short. One of its complications is tumor lysis with renal failure and the physio pathological changes that this implies, for example, edema, such as the case presented.It is always important to remember that a good clinical history, a complete physical examination are the pillars of a medical assessment, associated with complementary laboratory tests, cabinet, biopsy, among others, can get to obtain quick and accurate diagnoses that allow treatment initiation timely in order to preserve and improve the quality of life of patients.

Psychological trauma is a sort of harm to the mind that happens because of an extremely troubling occasion. Injury is regularly the after-effect of a staggering measure of pressure that surpasses one’s capacity to adapt, or incorporate the feelings required with that experience [1]. An awful accident includes one’s understanding, or rehashing occasions of being overpowered that can be encouraged in weeks, years, or even a long time as the individual battles to adapt to the prompt conditions, in the end prompting genuine, long haul negative outcomes [2-5].

Due to their superior electrical and thermal conductivity and mechanical properties, metals are used as biomaterials. Some metals are used as an alternative to hard tissue replacement, such as total hip and knee joints. Some metal alloys are used for active roles in devices such as vascular stents, catheter guide wires and cochlear implants. “Vanadium steel” used as a base metallic alloy for human use for bone fracture plates and screws. Most metals (eg Fe, Cr, Co, Ni, Ti, Nb and Mo) are used for alloys used to make implants, which can only be accepted by the body in small quantities.

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is molecule that enhances the growth and maintenance of neurons in the central nervous system [1,2]. BDNF is highly expressed in the hippocampal and cortical regions of the brain where they involved in neuronal survival, synaptic plasticity and the formation of long-lasting memories [3-5]. Their high affinity receptor, TrkB has been identified as the Trk family of tyrosine protein kinases, thus facilitate to understand the signaling pathways responsible for mediating their trophic properties [6]. TrkB receptor is phosphorylated by binding of BDNF that trigger the activation of ERK-, Akt-, and PLC gamma-pathways [7-9]. Each pathway contributes to multifarious neuronal functions, including neurogenesis and the regulation of cell fate [10,11]. Various studies demonstrated that reduced expression of BDNF along with depressive behaviors, suggesting that an alteration in status of the BDNF/TrkB system leads to reduction in neurogenesis resulting brain dysfunctioning. Chronic stress reduces mRNA levels of BDNF [10,12] is one of the most important endogenous mediators of stress responses in the mammalian brain. Glucocorticoids (GCs) a stress hormone, exert influence on neurogenesis and functions, as well as BDNF [13]. Blood levels of GCs are regulated by hypothalamus-pituitaryadrenal (HPA) axis activity [14-16]. It is well known that chronic stress induces the hyper activation of HPA axis, resulting overabundance of GCs levels [16]. Elevated levels of GCs have a role in the onset of mental disorders, including post-traumatic stress disorder, major depressive disorders and neurodegeneration. Furthermore, GC stress suppress the formation of neuron synthesis, especially in hippocampal region, has been a vulnerable target to develop new drugs because it shows the dysregulation of HPA axis function [17,18] and is considered as a culprit that leads to the onset of the mental disorders [19]. This review article demonstrated the functional interaction between BDNF and GCs towards altered neurogenesis.

An alveolar dehiscence denotes a lack of the facial or lingual alveolar cortical plate resulting in a denuded root surface, while an alveolar fenestration is a circumscribed defect of the cortical plate which exposes the underlying root surface, not involving the marginal bone [1]. Deformities of the alveolar process can present surgical dilemmas which are technically demanding and may seriously affect the outcome of treatment [2]. The overall prevalence ranges from 0.99 to 13.4% for dehiscences and 0.23% to 16.9% for fenestrations. Elliott & Bowers [3] reported that alveolar dehiscences and fenestrations were associated with 9.19% and 10.93%, respectively.
