Acoustic Features of Airway Protective Maneuvers as Biomarkers of Radiation‐Associated Dysphagia and Penetration/Aspiration in Head and Neck Cancer Patients

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background This study aimed at identifying acoustic features of airway protective maneuvers as biomarkers of radiation‐associated dysphagia, involving penetration/aspiration and pharyngeal residue. Methods Temporal and spectral acoustical analyses were carried out on voluntary coughs, voluntary throat clearings, and reflexive coughs.

Patterns of Initial Lymph Node Involvement and Recurrence in Patients With Maxillary Sinus Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Determining whether to treat the elective cervical lymph node (LN) area remains a dilemma in maxillary sinus squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). This study analyzed the patterns of initial LN involvement and recurrence to guide treatment strategies. Methods We retrospectively reviewed 119 patients with maxillary sinus SCC treated between

Application of Biomaterials for the Prevention of Pharyngeal Fistulae: A Systematic Review

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background PharyngoCutaneous Fistulae (PCF) represent a significant clinical challenge in otorhinolaryngology practice. The use of biomaterials could improve outcomes or even replace the use of a flap in pharyngolaryngeal surgery. Methods This systematic review included all studies evaluating the application of biomaterials for the prevention ...

Genetic Variability in Cisplatin Metabolism in Kidney Injury in Patients With Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma Undergoing Definitive Chemoradiotherapy

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background This study investigated the roles of single nucleotide variants (SNVs) in genes of CDDP metabolism and their association with kidney dysfunction in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Methods A total of 109 patients with locally advanced HNSCC, treated with CDDP, had renal function evaluated by serum ...

Modelling the human pharyngeal airway: validation of numerical simulations using in vitro experiments

, 2008
In the presented study, a numerical model which predicts the flow-induced collapse within the pharyngeal airway is validated using in vitro measurements. Theoretical simplifications were considered to limit the computation time.

Experimental pig-to-pig transmission dynamics for African swine fever virus, Georgia 2007/1 strain [PDF]

, 2015
African swine fever virus (ASFV) continues to cause outbreaks in domestic pigs and wild boar in Eastern European countries. To gain insights into its transmission dynamics, we estimated the pig-to-pig basic reproduction number (R 0) for the Georgia 2007 ...

Pharyngitis – fatal infectious disease or medical error?

Archives of Forensic Medicine and Criminology, 2015
Reporting on adverse events is essential to create a culture of safety, which focuses on protecting doctors and patients from medical errors. We present a fatal case of Streptococcus C pharyngitis in a 56-year-old man. The clinical course and the results of additional diagnostics and autopsy showed that sepsis followed by multiple organ failure was the

First Case of Lateral Oropharyngectomy Performed Using the Vitom Eagle: A Novel Exoscopic System for Transoral Surgery

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The Vitom Eagle is a novel exoscopic system, specifically designed for transoral surgery (e.g., lateral oropharyngectomy). No prior study has compared it to existing surgical systems. Methods This case report examines a patient affected by HPV‐related oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma treated with transoral lateral ...

Postdiagnosis Smoking Cessation and Survival Outcomes of Head and Neck Cancer Patients

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Post‐diagnosis smoking remains prevalent among head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) patients. Smoking cessation may improve patient outcomes. Methods A prospective longitudinal cohort study (2008–2014) included 835 newly diagnosed HNSCC patients and followed up for 7 years. Participants were categorized by smoking behavior (
