Differential Diagnosis of Parotid Gland Tumors: Role of Shear Wave Elastography.

abstract：:Almost forty years ago, it was first hypothesized that an increased dietary intake of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) from fish fat could exert protective effects against several pathologies. Decades of intense preclinical investigation have supported this hypothesis in a variety of model systems. Several c...
