Stroke after Radiotherapy for Head and Neck Cancer – What is the Risk?
Treating head and neck squamous cell carcinomas with radiotherapy has been shown to cause damage to the cerebrovasculature. This retrospective cohort study found that any exposure to radiation was associated with a 46% higher hazard of stroke, and with radiotherapy as the sole treatment modality, 70% increased risk of stroke compared to surgery alone. Implications of this research speak to the need for adequate follow-up and survivorship care among patients that were treated with RT.

Periodontal Disease Is Associated With Increased Risk of Hypertension: A Cross-Sectional Study
Conclusion: Periodontal disease is significantly and positively correlated with increased risk of hypertension in Chinese population, and exact mechanisms of this association should be explored in future. Introduction Periodontal disease is a complex polymicrobial inflammation, including gingivitis and periodontitis. According to the 2015 Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study, the prevalence of severe chronic periodontitis in 2015 has reached 616 million (Kassebaum et al., 2017). In China, the periodontal disease standardized DALYs rate has risen from 24.7 in 1990 to 25.7 in 2013 according to the data from 2013 GBD ...

Prevalence of Dysphagia in China: An Epidemiological Survey of 5943 Participants
ConclusionDysphagia is prevalent in China among older individuals and people who have suffered a stroke, HNCs, or NDDs. The prevalence of dysphagia increases steadily with increasing age and presence of comorbid disease. People with dysphagia are more likely to suffer from malnutrition.

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

The Feasibility and Outcome of Oro-esophageal Tube Feeding in Patients with Various Etiologies
Abstract The oro-esophageal tube (OE tube) is widely used in dysphagia patients although its success rate for transition to oral feeding is reported only in stroke patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and outcome of OE tube feeding for patients with dysphagia resulting from various etiologies. The authors reviewed the medical records of 1995 dysphagic patients that had undergone videofluoroscopic swallowing study (VFSS) in a tertiary hospital from April 2002 through December 2009. Of these, 97 patients were recommended to use OE tube feeding based on the VFSS findings. Follow-up VFSS wer...

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.

What Causes Facial Nerve Palsy?
Discussion Facial nerve palsy has been known for centuries, but in 1821 unilateral facial nerve paralysis was described by Sir Charles Bell. Bell’s palsy (BP) is a unilateral, acute facial paralysis that is clinically diagnosed after other etiologies have been excluded by appropriate history, physical examination and/or laboratory testing or imaging. Symptoms include abnormal movement of facial nerve. It can be associated with changes in facial sensation, hearing, taste or excessive tearing. The right and left sides are equally affected but bilateral BP is rare (0.3%). Paralysis can be complete or incomplete at prese...

Pilot Study of Quantitative Methods for Differentiating Pharyngeal Swallowing Mechanics by Dysphagia Etiology
This study demonstrated that swallowing mechanics among cohorts of dysphagic patients can be differentiated using kinematics and CASM, providing different but complementary quantitative methods for investigating the impact of various disease states on swallowing function.

Clustering of functioning and disability profile based on the WHO disability assessment schedule 2.0 - a nationwide databank study.
Conclusion: We converted WHO Disability Assessment Schedule 2.0. functioning domain scores into six-dimensioned radar chart, and demonstrate disability restrictions can be further categorized into clusters according to similarity of functioning impairment. Understanding of disease-related disabilities provides an important basis for designing rehabilitation programs and policies on social welfare and health that reflect the daily-living needs of people according to diagnosis.Implication for RehabilitationThe use of radar charts provided a direct visualization of the scope and severity of disabilities associated with specif...

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...
