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.

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...

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...

Cancers, Vol. 11, Pages 1658: Toxicity Profiles of Fractionated Radiotherapy, Contemporary Stereotactic Radiosurgery, and Transsphenoidal Surgery in Nonfunctioning Pituitary Macroadenomas
Conclusion: Contemporary SRS and transsphenoidal surgery for nonfunctioning pituitary macroadenoma treatment have equivalent toxicity profiles. However, modern FRT for nonfunctioning pituitary macroadenoma treatment might considerably increase stroke risk.

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...

Hypothermia treatment reduced cyclin-dependent kinase 5-mediated inflammation in ischemic stroke and improved outcomes in ischemic stroke patients
The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has spread exponentially worldwide. In Brazil, the number of infected people diagnosed has been increasing and, as in other countries, it has been associated with a high risk of contamination in healthcare teams. For healthcare professionals, the full use of personal protective equipment (PPE) is mandatory, such as wearing surgical or filtering facepiece class 2 (FFP2) masks, waterproof aprons, gloves, and goggles, in addition to training in care processes. A reduction in the number of face-to-face visits an...

Correlation Between EAT-10 and Aspiration Risk Differs by Dysphagia Etiology
AbstractAgreement between self-reported dysphagic symptoms and actual swallowing physiology can vary widely across individuals. The Eating Assessment Tool-10 (EAT-10) is a self-report questionnaire commonly used to identify individuals with oropharyngeal dysphagia, but its interpretation for highly prevalent populations is poorly defined. Our primary objective was to determine if correlation strength between EAT-10 and Penetration –Aspiration Scale (PAS) scores differed by dysphagia etiology. Our secondary objective was to identify clinical factors that were associated with a mismatch between EAT-10 scores and videofluor...

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...

Carotid interposition in patients with head and neck tumors: clinical experience of 13 cases reconstructed with a great saphenous vein autograft
CONCLUSION AND SIGNIFICANCE: CIG in HNC setting can achieve oncologic-control with an acceptable rate of complications. Routine shunting, heparinization, and elevating blood-pressure during closure seem to be safe protocols to maintain cerebral-circulation perioperatively. A moderate graft-blowout risk should be considered.PMID:35499961 | DOI:10.1080/00016489.2022.2067356
