Head &Neck, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Challenges accessing post‐treatment speech‐language pathology (SLP) services can add to treatment burden for rural patients with head and neck cancer (HNC). Hence, the aim of this study was to evaluate a shared‐care SLP service designed to support local SLP access for patients with HNC, using the RE‐AIM framework.

Head &Neck, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Purpose Osteoradionecrosis (ORN) of the jaw remains a serious late complication of head and neck cancer (HNC) radiotherapy. Although intensity‐modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) and volumetric‐modulated arc radiotherapy (VMAT) are expected to reduce ORN risk, large real‐world data in the modern era are limited.

The Development of Myopia Optometry-Aided Expert System and the Exploration of Optometrist Satisfaction [PDF]
, 2011 [[abstract]]由於國內驗光師制度還尚在立法院審議中，且目前驗光的知識和技術多數都停留在師徒私相授受的階段，因此有相當比例的驗光品質不盡理想甚或令人垢病。此外，驗光檢查的工作，涉及甚廣，對一位初學者來說往往不知從何著手。所以如何教導一位入行之驗光師及早熟悉驗光程序並且有效提昇其驗光品質，實為該行業業者的當務之急。 本研究因此想到以聯結驗光儀器所產生的各項數據作為輸入，並結合美國標準驗光程序和具備豐富驗光知識的驗光師，設計一套輔助驗光之專家系統，將科學的數據與專家的經驗作最有效的結合 ...

We evaluated whether the omission of NI compromises outcomes in pT3–T4 pN0 patients treated with adequate neck dissection (ND).
