Effect of hydration schedules on dose‐limiting toxicity in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma treated with cisplatin

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims The aim of this study was to determine if head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) patients treated with cisplatin chemoradiotherapy and short hydration (SH) experience less dose‐limiting toxicity (DLT) and receive more cisplatin than those with medium hydration (MH) or long hydration (LH).

Vocal wow in an adapted reflex resonance model [PDF]

, 2019
Vocal wow is a slow 0.2 - 3 Hz modulation of the voice that may be distinguished from the 4 - 7 Hz modulation of tremor or vibrato. We use a simple model of laryngeal muscle activation, mediated by time-delayed auditory feedback, to show that wow may arise due to Andronov-Hopf bifurcation.

Spatio-spectral deep learning methods for in-vivo hyperspectral laryngeal cancer detection [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
Early detection of head and neck tumors is crucial for patient survival. Often, diagnoses are made based on endoscopic examination of the larynx followed by biopsy and histological analysis, leading to a high inter-observer variability due to subjective assessment.

Theoretical open-loop model of respiratory mechanics in the extremely preterm infant [PDF]

, 2018
Non-invasive ventilation is increasingly used for respiratory support in preterm infants, and is associated with a lower risk of chronic lung disease. However, this mode is often not successful in the extremely preterm infant in part due to their markedly increased chest wall compliance that does not provide enough structure against which the forces of

Incorporating Clinical Examination Skills Into a Preclinical Anatomy Course: A Method for Facilitating Engagement and Interest

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Anatomy instruction is enhanced when students are engaged and interested in course material, and the relevance of the subject matter to their academic success and professional careers is emphasized. We developed a learning activity for a pre‐clinical anatomy course using the clinical skills of inspection and palpation of a cadaver donor to ...

A Case Series and Literature Review of Angiosarcoma With Malignant Effusion—A Challenging Cytologic Diagnosis With Dire Prognostic Implications

Diagnostic Cytopathology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Angiosarcoma with malignant effusion is an uncommon yet clinically aggressive presentation, which poses as a diagnostic pitfall with its overlapping cytomorphologic features with metastatic adenocarcinoma. In this article, two cases reported in the literature were reviewed for cytology, immunocytochemistry, and clinical course.
