Stroke death in patients receiving radiation for head and neck cancer in the modern era
CONCLUSIONS: While radiotherapy for head and neck cancer increases the hazard of stroke death, this is reduced in the modern era and remains a very small absolute risk.PMID:37397363 | PMC:PMC10313411 | DOI:10.3389/fonc.2023.1111764

Late-onset vascular complications of radiotherapy for primary brain tumors: a case-control and cross-sectional analysis
CONCLUSIONS: Stroke prevalence is increased in long-surviving PBT patients treated with cranial RT.IMPLICATIONS FOR CANCER SURVIVORS: CV events are frequent in long survivors of PBT treated with cerebral RT. We propose a check list to guide management of late CV complications in adults treated with RT for PBT.PMID:37142871 | DOI:10.1007/s11764-023-01350-z

Critical analysis of the evaluation of postoperative dysphagia following an anterior cervical discectomy and fusion
CONCLUSION: Postoperative dysphagia risk increases in ACDF compared to ALDF, likely due to underlying anatomy. Postoperative dysphagia symptoms are not effectively documented by spine surgeons and as a result underevaluated by dysphagia specialists. Patients may benefit from more extensive pre- and post-operative screening, evaluation, and referral regarding dysphagia symptoms following ACDF.PMID:35427936 | DOI:10.1016/j.amjoto.2022.103466

Assessing radiation-induced carotid vasculopathy using ultrasound after unilateral irradiation: a cross-sectional study
CONCLUSIONS: Increased CCA-IMT and SWV in some segments were seen in irradiated carotids. These alterations, even in young patients, mark the need for surveillance of radiation-induced vasculopathy.TRIAL REGISTRATION: clinicaltrials.gov ( https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04257968 ).PMID:35871069 | DOI:10.1186/s13014-022-02101-7

The effect of voice training interventions on patients with oropharyngeal dysphagia: a systematic review
CONCLUSIONS: In general, statistically significant positive therapy effects were found. Voice training improves the oral and pharyngeal stages of swallowing in patients with neurological causes of dysphagia, such as stroke, and in patients with non-neurological causes of dysphagia, such as head and neck cancer. However, the current literature is limited and further primary research is required to provide more evidence to support voice training intervention in dysphagia. Future studies could further refine the content of voice training interventions, increase the number of patients enrolled, assess the long-term effects of ...
