The kinematic features of hyoid bone movement during swallowing in different disease populations: A narrative review
J Formos Med Assoc. 2022 Apr 22:S0929-6646(22)00151-6. doi: 10.1016/j.jfma.2022.04.007. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe anterior-superior movement of the hyoid bone plays a significant role in securing the airway and smooth passage of food through the cricopharyngeal muscle. The hyoid bone can be detected easily with instruments such as the videofluoroscopic swallow study (VFSS) and ultrasonography (US), which have made quantitative kinematic analysis possible. Dysphagia is a critical issue in different diseases, including stroke, Parkinson's disease (PD), head and neck cancer, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), an...

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

Patient suitability for free water protocols in acute stroke and general medicine: a qualitative study of clinician perceptions
CONCLUSIONS & IMPLICATIONS: Despite the benefits of FWPs in other settings, in acute stroke and general medicine, clinicians erred on the side of safety and, in most cases, would not implement an FWP. Future clinical research is needed to systematically design high-quality and feasible clinical trials to determine the benefits and safety of FWPs for patients with dysphagia in these settings. This would lay the foundations for guidelines to support the complex clinical decision-making regarding patient suitability for FWPs.WHAT THIS PAPER ADDS: What is already known on the subject FWPs are an alternate management strategy f...

A novel nomogram to predict overall survival in head and neck cancer survivors with radiation-induced brain necrosis
CONCLUSION: In this LASSO-Cox model-based nomogram study, we developed and validated an easily applied model to predict overall survival in head and neck cancer survivors following an RN diagnosis.PMID:35121029 | DOI:10.1016/j.radonc.2022.01.033

Age-related composition changes in swallowing-related muscles: a Dixon MRI study
CONCLUSIONS: IMF is primarily associated with age-related composition changes in swallowing-related muscles, and it is commonly observed in the tongue and pharyngeal muscles. The geniohyoid muscle is more at risk of muscle atrophy rather than fatty infiltration. In addition, tongue pressure can be a parameter for the evaluation of swallowing-related muscle mass.PMID:33904143 | DOI:10.1007/s40520-021-01859-2

Revascularization approaches in patients with radiation-induced carotid stenosis: an updated systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSIONS: CAS and CEA appear to have a similar safety and efficacy profile in patients with radiation-induced carotid artery stenosis. Patients treated with CEA have a higher risk for periprocedural CN injuries. Future prospective studies are warranted to validate these results.PMID:33885270 | DOI:10.33963/KP.15956
