Abstract Background Endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) and the unfolded protein response (UPR) are adaptive mechanisms for conditions of high demand, marked by an accumulation misfolded proteins in endoplasmic (ER). Rheumatic autoimmune diseases (RAD) known to be associated with chronic inflammation ERS state. However, activation UPR signaling pathways is not completely understood Sjögren’s disease (SD). This study evaluated expression ERS-related genes glandular tissue patients primary SD...
Abstract Objectives: Solid caustic soda (CS) ingestion levels continue high in Brazil. The aggressiveness of a agent depends, among other factors, on its concentration and time contact with mucosa. However, the interdependence these factors production lesion esophageal mucosa is not known, especially regarding CS as strongest corrosive agent. We analyze effects to esophagus live animals. Study Design/Methods: One milliliter at concentrations between 1.83% 73.33% was applied rats. solution...
To evaluate the behavior of phonatory function and perceived strain in Brazilian young women, before after a test prolonged voice use test, for period one continuous hour.Twenty women without laryngeal disorders participated study were submitted to vocal acoustic analysis (MDVP-Advanced, CSL-Kay Pentax®), perceptual assessment, carried out by five judges, measurement speech-strain level using visual analog scale voice, from reading standardized text hour usual intensity frequency, breaks...
To examine the potential of two magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques-dynamic contrast enhancement (DCE) and diffusion-weighted (DWI)-for detection malignant cervical lymph nodes.Using DCE DWI, we evaluated 33 nodes. For technique, maximum relative enhancement, time to peak wash-in rate, wash-out brevity area under curve were calculated from a semi-quantitative analysis. DWI apparent diffusion coefficients (ADCs) acquired in region interest each node. Cystic or necrotic parts excluded....
Abstract Background The objective of the present study was to relate dimensions and intraluminal pressure pharyngoesophageal segment (PES) voice speech proficiency total laryngectomees with a tracheoesophageal prosthesis (TEP). Methods Twenty secondary TEP insertion underwent evaluation speech, manometry, videofluoroscopy. Results Most (65%) were moderate speakers. poorer speakers presented lower in PES at rest (4.44 mmHg) higher value (40.46 during phonation. Good significant difference...
PURPOSE: To assess the effect of a program singing training on voice total laryngectomees wearing tracheoesophageal prosthesis, considering quality alaryngeal phonation, vocal extension and musical elements tunning legato. METHODS: Five prosthesis completed over period three months, with exploration strengthening respiratory muscles vocalization evaluation perceptive-auditory being performed before after 12 sessions therapy. RESULTS: After training, showed improvement or persistence general...
Objectives The objective of the present study was to evaluate intraluminal esophageal pressure during voice and speech emission in speaking laryngectomees with a tracheoesophageal prosthesis. Methods In our prospective analysis tertiary-care academic hospital, 25 were divided into 2 groups: 11 individuals prosthesis control group 14 nonspeaking laryngectomees. All patients subjected manometry tests. We determined pressures achieved distal, middle, proximal parts esophagus. Results...
Rehabilitation of individuals with total laryngectomy.To correlate the voice and speech proficiency laryngectomy, users tracheoesophageal, prosthesis intraluminal pharyngoesophageal transition pressure at rest during phonation.Twelve laryngectomy tracheoesophageal voice, prosthesis, were submitted to a sample gathering registration. These assessed by three experts using specific protocol for evaluation communication. Individuals also underwent esophageal manometry in order evaluate...
Traqueostomia consiste na abertura da parede anterior traqueia comunicando-a com o meio externo. Está indicada em situações onde existe obstrução via aérea alta, acúmulo de secreção traqueal,debilidade musculatura respiratória e intubação traqueal prolongada. Ou seja, a indicação ocorreem que dificuldade não possa ser revertida curto espaço tempo.
This study aimed to correlate maximum phonation time, vocal intensity, and dynamic extension with intraluminal esophageal pharyngoesophageal segment pressure during tracheoesophageal phonation.Prospective analysis.Tertiary academic hospital.The was conducted on 20 total laryngectomees alaryngeal speech secondary insertion of a prosthesis who were submitted recording time intensity (minimum, habitual, maximum). The participants then manometry for the determination amplitude (proximal, middle,...
Background: Unilateral vocal fold immobility is the neurological disorder most frequently seen in larynx that may cause swallowing dysfunction. The objective of this investigation was to evaluate oral and pharyngeal phases patients with unilateral immobility. Methods: It evaluated by videofluoroscopy 14 11 control subjects. examination performed swallows 5 mL 10 liquid paste boluses. transit, transit clearance, duration upper esophageal sphincter (UES) hyoid movement, timing events were...
Introduction Epidemiological studies focused on prognostic factors associated with laryngeal cancer in the Brazilian population are poorly reported literature. Objective To evaluate influence of certain risk survival rates patients squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) larynx. Methods This retrospective study was conducted adult who were admitted to outpatient clinic head and neck department a tertiary care hospital. Evaluation registered hospital SCC performed based age, sex, initial stage, time...
The optimization of oral health before allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is important for preventing infectious complications during treatment.
Fixation of foreign bodies (FB), in the mucosa, can favor its migration, giving origin to popular saying: 'FB walk heart'.Describe mechanisms involved FB migration and how diagnose them.From a sample 3,000 bodies, during 40 years, we analyzed four which had extra-lumen migration. We clinical, radiologic, endoscopic ultrasound data collected at medical documentation service.Three clinical histories are presented, describing two fish bones one piece cartilage. shifting was all them. Migration...
Patients with bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (BRONJ) who received intravenous or oral bisphosphonates (BP) were selected for determination their bone microarchitecture as a risk predictor BRONJ development. The diagnosis was made based on clinical and radiographic findings. control group consisted healthy patients. All patients underwent quantitative qualitative ultrasound measurements at hand phalanges carried out using DBM Sonic BP. Ultrasound profile index (UBPI),...
