Association Among Age-Related Tongue Muscle Abnormality, Tongue Pressure, and Presbyphagia: A 3D MRI Study
AbstractMuscle aging such as sarcopenia adversely affects motor activities. However, few studies have elucidated the aging physiological mechanism of tongue concerted with the changes muscle composition. The present study aimed to examine the tongue composition changes to detect the effect of tongue fat mass on tongue pressure and swallowing function with aging. Twenty community-dwelling elderly without head and neck cancer, stroke, or neuromuscular disease and 20 healthy young were included. Tongue volume, tongue fat mass, tongue lean muscle mass, and tongue fat percentage were evaluated with 3D magnetic resonance imaging...

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

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
