Innervation of the tubarial glands: A hypothesis‐driven anatomical review

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The tubarial glands have been described as a macroscopic bilateral glandular complex in the posterolateral nasopharynx near the torus tubarius and the pharyngeal opening of the Eustachian tube. Since their recognition on prostate‐specific membrane antigen‐based imaging, their anatomical classification has remained debated, with converging ...

Clock Genes Regulate Ca2+ Signaling and Mitochondrial Bioenergetics to Inhibit Sjögren Disease

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Although Ca2+ signaling and metabolism have been identified as key determinants for the development of Sjögren disease (SjD), the intricate connection between them and salivary gland physiology remains poorly understood. Methods Fluorescence‐based Ca2+ imaging, RNA sequencing, and mitochondrial activity were used to investigate the effects of

Longitudinal Swallowing and Salivary Changes With CLR 131 and Re‐Irradiation in Recurrent Head and Neck Cancer

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Patients with recurrent head and neck cancer (HNC) often present with severe, persistent dysphagia and xerostomia following prior chemoradiation. Although swallowing impairments and salivary dysfunction have been reported in this population, prior longitudinal studies have not examined changes in salivary composition or how these ...

A Framework to Establish Diet and Nutrition Competencies for Oral Health Care Education

Journal of Dental Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective: To prevent and manage oral disease, oral health care practitioners (OHCPs) must provide dietary counseling based on nutrition science. OHCPs are often ill‐equipped to provide such counseling due to fragmented and inadequate dietary education, which is typically attributed to limited curricular time or appropriately qualified faculty.

Exocrine Gland Dysfunction in Parkinson's Disease: Pathophysiology, Clinical Manifestations, and Therapeutic Perspectives—A Narrative Review

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Non‐motor symptoms, especially autonomic dysfunction, are major contributors to disability and decreased quality of life in Parkinson's disease (PD). Despite being common and having a wide range of clinical facets, exocrine gland dysfunction is still not well recognized and managed.

The Impact of Nutritional Status on Oral Health Outcomes and Management in Older Adults: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Gerodontology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective This systematic review and meta‐analysis evaluated the relationship between nutritional status and the oral health of older adults (aged 75 years or older). The PECO focus question was, ‘What is the occurrence, association and impact of nutritional state on the oral health outcomes and its management in older adults?’ Methods A ...

Grading in Gerodontology: A Framework

Gerodontology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Understanding and anticipating oral health deterioration in older adults requires more than describing their current oral and general health. Risk factors arising from oral, systemic and social domains strongly influence disease progression, care complexity and the ability to maintain function over time.

Potential Applications of Nano Silver Fluoride in the Prevention of Dental Caries in Older Adults: A Scoping Review

Gerodontology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Dental caries remains highly prevalent in older adults and represents a growing public health concern due to increased tooth retention, polypharmacy, hyposalivation and functional limitations. Silver diamine fluoride (SDF) is widely used for caries arrest in this population but causes undesirable tooth staining. Nano Silver Fluoride

Staging in Gerodontology: A Framework

Gerodontology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Comprehensively, systematically and reproducibly assessing and describing the (oral) health status and care needs of older adults is challenging. We aimed to provide a framework for evaluating and reporting older adults' oral health, capturing general and oral function and disease, as well as oral, systemic and socio‐economic ...

Staging and Grading in Gerodontology—An Introduction

Gerodontology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Gerodontology lacks a unified framework to describe case complexity and assess the multidimensional determinants shaping oral health. Methods An international initiative developed an evidence‐based case definition for staging and grading older adults' oral health.
