Sonographic Anatomy and Imaging of the Extracranial Component of the Hypoglossal Nerve (CNXII)

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
The hypoglossal nerve (HN) provides motor innervation to tongue muscles responsible for tongue movement, speech, mastication, swallowing, respiratory functions and management of oral secretions. The intracranial component of the HN can be demonstrated on magnetic resonance imaging and the extracranial component can be demonstrated with sonographic ...

Comparison of Auto‐Contouring Tools for Delineation of Normal Organs at Risk in Paediatric Patients Undergoing Radiotherapy

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
Contouring organs at risk (OARs) manually in paediatric patients undergoing cranial‐spinal radiation therapy (CSI) is a time‐consuming, labour‐intensive task. This study aims to assess the accuracy and clinical acceptability of auto‐contours produced by the Siemens DirectORGANS auto‐contouring software on paediatric patients receiving CSI treatment ...

Materials Employed in Preoperative Embolization for Nasopharyngeal Angiofibroma: A Meta‐Analysis

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Studies have shown that pre‐surgical embolization improves outcomes for JNA, but the choice of embolization material remains a topic of debate. This study found PVA is the most used material, and that there may be differences in outcomes and complications between embolization materials.

Surgical Management of a Cerebellopontine Angle Tumor After Sudden Onset Facial Paralysis

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Patients with cerebellopontine angle tumors rarely experience acute facial weakness. In this report, we summarize a case where immediate tumor decompression after a patient presented with sudden ipsilateral flaccid facial palsy resulted in complete recovery of facial nerve function, followed by staged gross total tumor resection. Return of facial nerve

Dysphagia Characteristics in High Versus Low Vagal Unilateral Vocal Fold Paralysis

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
High vagal etiology of unilateral vocal fold paralysis (UVFP) is linked to greater swallowing dysfunction compared to low vagal etiology of UVFP, with higher rates of premature spillage, pharyngeal residue, penetration and aspiration on instrumental swallow assessment; and higher prevalence of diet and behavioral modifications recommended.

The Evolving Landscape of Immunotoxicity: Charting Mechanisms and Future Strategies for Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor Adverse Events

Med Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The use of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) has significantly improved the efficacy of cancer therapy, but their associated immune‐related adverse events (irAEs) can severely compromise treatment safety. This review systematically summarizes the core mechanisms underlying irAEs, which include multi‐organ damage resulting from T‐cell ...

The Second Hit Hypothesis in Animal and Human Dystonia: The Role of Peripheral Nerve Trauma and Spinal Cord Injury

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
The “second‐hit” hypothesis proposes that both a genetic predisposition and an environmental insult—such as peripheral nerve trauma or spinal cord injury—are required for dystonia development. This review explores how neuroinflammation and maladaptive plasticity, triggered by nerve and spinal cord injury, contribute to dystonia pathogenesis.
