In a miraculous recovery for the books, a puppy's jaw regrew spontaneously after it was removed due to cancer. This marks the first of its kind incident for dogs of any age or breed. However, as per the Cornell website, this phenomenon has been reported in children.

<h2>A miracle</h2>

Tyson, a three-month-old puppy of French bulldog breed, was brought to Cornell's Dentistry and Oral Surgery Service for a cleft palate surgery when the primary veterinarian noticed a cancerous tumour on the dog's jaw.

In a statement, the dentistry and oral surgery resident Alexandra Wright, D.V.M., who led Tyson's care team, detailed that there was an oral papillary squamous cell carcinoma, which he said is a "malignant cancer in dogs."

"Oral squamous cell carcinoma is the second-most common malignant oral tumour in dogs, and this papillary subtype has previously been reported in young dogs," he said.

Wright, along with co-authors Dr&nbsp;Nadine Fiani, associate clinical professor and section chief, and Dr Santiago Peralta, associate professor in the Dentistry and Oral Surgery Service, has published a report on this case in Frontiers in Veterinary Science.

Most of the puppy's lower left mandible had to be removed to remove the tumour. This, as per the veterinarians, meant Tyson would live a life without a fully functioning lower jaw.

The puppy's owners were sceptical about putting him through the surgery but chose to "give him a chance and continue with surgery."

"We had no idea his jaw would grow back!" they said.

<h2>How the miracle happened</h2>

According to Cornell College of Veterinary Science's website, the miraculous recovery was likely due to the Periosteum preserved during the surgery. Furthermore, the detection of cancer at an early age also helped the case.

The periosteum contains blood vessels and nerves that support the bone and are also crucial to the growth of the original mandibles.&nbsp;

Wright speculates that "this was likely imperative to the regeneration of new bone."

However, the precise reason remains a mystery. Tyson's new mandible as per the report is "nearly as functional as the original, though it is technically considered abnormal because it no longer has certain features. For instance, there is no mandibular canal, where major blood vessels and nerves typically reside, and there are no teeth."

Fineprint: Cornell University appoints COVID-19 peer consultants | World News

The widow of grunge rock icon Chris Cornell on Friday insisted he did not intentionally kill himself, saying the recovering addict&#39;s judgment may have been impaired by prescription drugs.

Cornell, one of the most recognizable voices of Seattle&#39;s grunge scene, was found hanging in his hotel room in Detroit shortly after he finished a show Wednesday with his main band Soundgarden, authorities said.

Wayne County&#39;s medical examiner ruled the death a suicide. But his widow, Vicky Karayiannis Cornell, said the 52-year-old gave no indication he wanted to die.

She said that Cornell, who struggled with depression and substance abuse most of his life but had sobered up a decade ago, had been taking Ativan, a prescription drug used to treat anxiety.

&quot;Chris&#39;s death is a loss that escapes words and has created an emptiness in my heart that will never be filled,&quot; she said in a statement.

&quot;What happened is inexplicable and I am hopeful that further medical reports will provide additional details.&nbsp;I know that he loved our children and he would not hurt them by intentionally taking his own life,&quot; she said.

Cornell&#39;s second wife, with whom he has two children, said that the rocker had flown back from his tour for Mother&#39;s Day on Sunday and had returned only hours before the show so he could maximize family time.

&quot;When we spoke before the show, we discussed plans for a vacation over&nbsp;Memorial Day&nbsp;and other things we wanted to do,&quot; she said, referring to the public holiday 10 days ahead.

&quot;When we spoke after the show, I noticed he was slurring his words; he was different.&nbsp;When he told me he may have taken an extra Ativan or two, I contacted security and asked that they check on him,&quot; she said.

Cornell, who has another child with a previous wife, had Sunday posted on Twitter pictures of flowers for Mother&#39;s Day and hailed Karayiannis, a music publicist he had met in Paris, as &quot;an angel and a lioness.&quot;

A lawyer for the family, Kirk Pasich, said that Ativan can lead to paranoia and suicidal thoughts.

&quot;The family believes that if Chris took his life, he did not know what he was doing, and that drugs or other substances may have affected his actions,&quot; he said.

Cornell, who had a vocal range of nearly four octaves, was one of the most versatile singers in grunge, the subgenre that blended the rough edges of punk with dark introspection.
