National Trends and Risk Factors for Dysphagia After Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
From 2016 to 2023, inpatient anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) volume declined 52.2% while postoperative dysphagia rates increased 11.4% annually. Analysis of 496,425 cases demonstrated that dysphagia risk varied markedly by surgical indication, with cervical diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis, cervical spine fracture, and ...

Long‐Term Outcomes of Patients Undergoing Cricothyrotomy at a Tertiary Care Level One Trauma Center

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This retrospective study of 48 patients undergoing emergent cricothyrotomy (2014–2025) evaluated short‐ and long‐term outcomes and complications. Common complications included dysphagia, pneumonia, and dysphonia, with delayed conversion to tracheostomy associated with increased pneumonia risk; long‐term issues included persistent dysphagia, subglottic ...

An eight-year follow-up study of Home Invasive Mechanical Ventilation in Finland

BMC Pulmonary Medicine
Background Studies on long-term invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) via tracheostomy in chronic respiratory insufficiency are limited. The aim of this study was to clarify the use of HIMV (home invasive mechanical ventilation) within the Finnish ...

Outpatient preoperative parenteral nutrition in malnourished surgical patients: A feasibility study (the OPPORTUNITY study)

Nutrition in Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Preoperative parenteral nutrition (PN) improves outcomes in malnourished surgical patients. Traditionally, this requires hospital admission, increasing length of stay and costs—challenges worsened by limited hospital bed availability. Outpatient PN may offer a feasible alternative.

Increased expression of aromatase after focal cerebral ischemia: Relevance to neuroprotection and functional recovery

Neuroprotection, EarlyView.
Abstract Aim Aromatase is the key enzyme in the biosynthesis of 17β‐estradiol, the most potent estrogen, which has pleiotropic neuroprotective properties. Aromatase levels increase in the brain after stroke, and its gene variants increase susceptibility to stroke. This study aims to determine whether aromatase overexpression improves stroke outcome and

HOME NON-INVASIVE MECHANICAL VENTILATION THERAPY IN ELDERLY COPD PATIENTS

, 2015
Introduction: Home non-invasive mechanical ventilation has been widely used in recent years as a treatment for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in patients with chronic hypercapnic respiratory failure. We aimed to evaluate the use of home mechanical

Post‐recanalization administration of rapamycin improves functional outcome and reduces infarct size in a rat model of ischemic stroke

Neuroprotection, EarlyView.
Experimental design and main findings of the study. Transient middle cerebral artery occlusion was induced for 90 min in rats, followed by intravenous administration of rapamycin or vehicle at the time of recanalization. Functional outcome (Garcia scale and adhesive removal test), magnetic resonance imaging‐based infarct volume assessment, and cerebral
