Exploratory Research: Patient‐Reported Factors Contributing to Decreased Oral Intake During Radiotherapy in Head and Neck Cancer

Head &Neck, Volume 47, Issue 6, Page 1717-1725, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Background Radiotherapy (RT) in head and neck cancer (HNC) can cause multiple side effects such as nausea, pain, taste loss, fatigue, oral mucositis, xerostomia, and acute radiation‐associated dysphagia (RAD). These factors threaten patients' oral intake (OI) during this RT.

Gastrostomies Preserve but do not Increase Quality of Life for Patients and Caregivers [PDF]

, 2017
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Gastrostomies are widely used to provide long-term enteral nutrition to patients with neurological conditions that affect swallowing (such as following a cerebrovascular accident or for patients with motor neuron disease) or with ...

Laparoscopic‐assisted ‘pull‐introducer technique’ for gastrostomy tube placement in small infants: A single‐centre experience

JPGN Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Kirberg et al. described in 2016 a one‐step gastrostomy tube placement, the ‘pull‐introducer’ technique, designed for small‐for‐gestational‐age neonates, combining two endoscopic techniques. Nine infants (weight 3.4–8.1 kg) in our centre required a gastrostomy placement (two infants) or a combined gastrostomy placement and Nissen ...

Possible Role of Carbocysteine Syrup in the Deflation of Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy Balloons

Clinics and Practice, 2023
Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy is the method of choice to allow enteral access in patients requiring long-term enteral nutrition. However, although generally safe, percutaneous tube positioning may be plagued by several complications.

Nutritional Outcomes in HPV‐Associated Oropharyngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma After Transoral Robotic Surgery

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This study evaluates how TORS, with or without adjuvant treatment, impacts swallowing and weight loss. Adjuvant treatment following TORS is associated with significantly greater long‐term weight loss but does not significantly alter swallowing outcomes. Longer duration of nasogastric tube dependence in the postoperative period is associated with higher

Direct percutaneous endoscopic jejunostomy performed with gastroscope

Journal of Digestive Endoscopy, 2013
While percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) is a well-known approach for achieving enteral feeding, direct percutaneous endoscopic jejunostomy (DPEJ) is a technique that allows endoscopic placement of percutaneous/transabdominal feeding tube directly

A Three-limb Teleoperated Robotic System with Foot Control for Flexible Endoscopic Surgery [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
Flexible endoscopy requires high skills to manipulate both the endoscope and associated instruments. In most robotic flexible endoscopic systems, the endoscope and instruments are controlled separately by two operators, which may result in communication errors and inefficient operation.

Phosphatidylethanolamines are the Main Lipid Class Altered in Red Blood Cells from Patients with VPS13A Disease/Chorea‐Acanthocytosis

Movement Disorders, Volume 40, Issue 3, Page 544-549, March 2025.
VPS13A disease has become paradigmatic for a new pathophysiological concept in neurodegeneration: disturbed bulk lipid transfer at membrane contact sites. VPS13A is a bridge‐like lipid transfer protein. Loss of VPS13A function leads to deformed red blood cells (RBCs), acanthocytes.

Predictive Analysis of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Progression and Mortality in a Clinic Cohort From Singapore

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction There is currently no comprehensive Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) patient database in Singapore comparable to those available in Europe and the United States. We established the Singapore ALS registry (SingALS) to draw meaningful inferences about the ALS population in Singapore through developing statistical and machine ...
