ABSTRACT Background Dysphagia is a common side‐effect after radiotherapy in head and neck cancer patients. This randomized study aimed to evaluate the effect of the shaker head‐lift exercise (HLE) after 12 months with flexible endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES). Methods Patients were randomly assigned to the intervention (n = 30) or the control

What's New? Lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) is more aggressive than lung adenocarcinoma, and is most often diagnosed at an advanced stage. Here, the authors evaluated gene expression data from LUSC tumors and came up with gene signatures for 34 genetic abnormalities whose expression changes throughout different precancerous stages. Several of these

Longitudinal associations between sleepiness and sleep disturbances across pregnancy
Abstract Objective Although sleep disturbances increase during pregnancy, sleepiness does not appear to follow a similar trajectory. Given that the relationship between sleep disturbances and sleepiness during pregnancy is understudied, we examined their associations to determine whether these relationships strengthen with advancing gestation.
