Synergy Extraction of Jaw Muscles During Mastication Based on Principal Components Analysis of Electromyogram Signal
Disorder in chewing food is a major problem in patients with stroke, some of those who suffer from brain lesion, multiple sclerosis, and other diseases such as head and neck cancer. This kind of disorder causes significantly decreased food consumption and consequently malnutrition or dehydration and in severe cases leads to suffocation. It can also increase the rate of death during the first year after the stroke to 45%. Therefore, finding an appropriate and common pattern of cooperation of jaw muscles in the act of chewing can have a very important role in assisting the process of rehabilitation in these patients. In this...

Safety and effectiveness of endovascular embolization or stent ‐graft reconstruction for treatment of acute carotid blowout syndrome in patients with head and neck cancer: Case series and systematic review of observational studies
ConclusionBoth embolization and stent grafts are safe therapeutic options for acute carotid blowout syndrome. Embolization for ICA/CCA carotid blowout syndrome was associated with higher risks of procedural stroke and lower recurrent bleeding compared to stent grafts.

Juvenile melanomas: Western Australian Melanoma Advisory Service experience.
CONCLUSIONS: Juvenile melanoma remains a rarity in Western Australia despite a very high incidence of adult melanoma. Unlike in adults, no definitive risk factors have been established. A significant proportion of this cohort had a pre-existing naevus and while most melanomas occurred in sun-exposed areas in light-skinned individuals the association between sunburn and melanoma was not strong.

Free Tissue Transfers for Head and Neck Reconstruction in Patients with End-Stage Renal Disease on Dialysis: Analysis of Outcomes Using the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database
Conclusion Despite greater preoperative risk factors, patients with renal failure on hemodialysis do not appear to have a higher rate of free flap failure following head and neck reconstruction. However, other complications can be minimized by optimizing patient's medical condition to succeed with this reconstructive effort.

Neurologic manifestations of geriatric patients with cancer (P6.188)
Conclusions:Neurologic manifestations are reported in about 40% of patients with cancer, approximately half of living patients with cancer are over 65 years of age, this increase merits the medical and related personnel to be prepared and recognize, diagnose and treat this highly morbid conditions. Neurologic manifestations and diagnoses in patients with cancer are different in the elderly and should be treated individually; the present work offers information regarding clinical symptoms and neurologic diagnoses in this population.Disclosure: Dr. Cacho Diaz has nothing to disclose.

Bilateral lingual artery stenosis: A rare, late complication of chemoradiotherapy
Discussion Small vessel disease is a possible complication in patients treated by RT for head and neck cancer. Although the risk of these complications is not directly related to the total radiation dose, higher doses appear to accelerate the development of vascular lesions. Practitioners must be aware of the possibility of these complications, especially in patients surviving more than 5 years.

In Regard to Arthurs et al
To the Editor: Arthurs et al (1) present another large database analysis, this one focusing on the risk of stroke for head and neck cancer patients receiving radiation therapy. These analyses allow the use of relatively large numbers to obtain “significant” P values. Their finding of a 46% to 70% higher cause-specific hazard of stroke with radiation therapy compared with the “control” of surgery alone seems very compelling.

Evaluating the Primary Prevention of Ischemic Stroke of Oral Antithrombotic Therapy in Head and Neck Cancer Patients with Radiation Therapy.
Abstract
Although previous studies demonstrated the risk of ischemic stroke (IS) in patients with head and neck cancer (HNC), the impact of oral antithrombotic therapy (OAT) on this risk has not yet been assessed. We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of OAT in patients with HNC treated with RT. This retrospective cohort study was performed using the National Health Insurance Research Database of Taiwan. A total of 37,638 patients diagnosed with HNC included in the study were classified as users and nonusers of OAT. Primary outcome was IS or transient ischemic attack (TIA), and secondary outcomes were ...

Pre-treatment clinical assessment in head and neck cancer: United Kingdom National Multidisciplinary Guidelines.
Authors: Robson A, Sturman J, Williamson P, Conboy P, Penney S, Wood H
Abstract
This is the official guideline endorsed by the specialty associations involved in the care of head and neck cancer patients in the UK. This paper provides recommendations on the pre-treatment clinical assessment of patients presenting with head and neck cancer. Recommendations • Comorbidity data should be collected as it is important in the analysis of survival, quality of life and functional outcomes after treatment as well as for comparing results of different treatment regimens and different centres. (R) • Patients with hypertens...

Cardiac comorbidity in head and neck cancer patients and its influence on cancer treatment selection and mortality: a prospective cohort study
AbstractComorbidity assessment and a profound cardiac examination were implemented into pre-treatment diagnostics to analyze their influence on head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) therapy selection and short-term mortality. Comorbidity was measured prospectively in 49 HNSCC patients using standard indices between 2012 and 2013. Cardiac examinations included electrocardiogram, echocardiography, and bicycle ergometry. Most patients had stage IV tumors (61 %), smoked (61 %), and showed alcohol abuse (57 %); 38 patients (78 %) received a multimodal therapy; 65 % had an adult comorbidity evaluation 27 index ≥2...

Neck dissection and stroke in patients with oral cavity cancer: A population‐based cohort study
ConclusionOur data demonstrate that neck dissection does not increase the risk of stroke in patients with oral cavity cancer. Patients have higher risk of stroke after cancer treatment because of their older age, specific comorbidities, and/or type of postoperative treatment. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Head Neck, 2016
