Zusammenfassung Die Anzahl tracheotomierter dysphagischer PatientInnen im klinischen und außerklinisch-ambulanten Setting der damit einhergehende Behandlungsbedarf steigen kontinuierlich. Neufassung Richtlinie des Gemeinsamen Bundesausschusses über die Verordnung außerklinischer Intensivpflege (AKI) sieht zudem vor, dass in AKI regelmäßig evaluiert werden, um Therapiepotenzial nach stationärer Entlassung zu erkennen fördern. Eine besondere Rolle nimmt dabei Dysphagietherapie ein, da ohne...
SUMMARY Plasma ACTH levels in response to metyrapone and insulin hypoglycaemia were compared subjects with normal pituitary‐adrenal function. After a single dose of 2 g given snack at midnight, the level was 468 ng/l ± 66 (SEM) 07.30 h next morning (mean increment approximately nine fold over values). insulin‐hypoglycaemia peak 369 31 (SEM). Peak greater than 200 achieved twenty twenty‐one (95%) after twenty‐four (83%) insulin. No major side effects noted metyrapone. It is concluded that...
The aim of this study was to evaluate 3D CISS, unenhanced MP-RAGE and contrast enhanced for the diagnosis neoplastic, vascular inflammatory lesions cerebellopontine angle, inner auditory canal, labyrinth facial nerve 42 MR examinations were performed on a total 38 patients (25 males, 13 females; aged 1-77 years, mean age 43 +/- 20 years) using 1.5 T unit. A T2* weighted CISS sequence (TR 14.65 ms, TE 21 flip angle 65 degrees, voxel size 0.7 x mm3) T1 12.5 5 300 15 1.0 0.9 with without medium...
Purpose: The purpose of this review is to provide a summary the uses and limitations techniques used in clinical voice assessment at leading clinics based on journal publications within last years. Voice acoustic analysis, perceptual vocal fold vibration aerodynamic measurements are presented regarding information they their limitations. Conclusion: Various approaches conducted evaluate quality classify underlying disorder. Recordings acoustics dynamics folds describe disease but do not give...
To determine the laryngeal H+K+-ATPase and pharyngeal pH in patients with laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR)-symptoms as well to assess symptom scores during PPI therapy.Endoscopy was performed exclude neoplasia collect biopsies from posterior cricoid area (immunohistochemistry PCR analysis). Immunohistochemical staining monoclonal mouse antibodies against human H+K+-ATPase. Quantitative real-time RT-PCR for each of subunits performed. The values were assessed aerosolized environment oropharynx...
The following position statement from the Union of European Phoniatricians, updated on 25th May 2020 (superseding previous issued 21st April 2020), contains a series recommendations for phoniatricians and ENT surgeons who provide and/or run voice, swallowing, speech language, or paediatric audiology services.
The role of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), its enteric locus action, and receptor subtypes involved in the regulation jejunal contractions were investigated by close intra-arterial infusions conscious dogs. Close 5-HT short segments jejunum stimulated phasic that blocked completely atropine, partially tetrodotoxin, not affected hexamethonium. This response was also significantly 5-HT2A 5-HT2C antagonists but 5-HT1A/5-HT1B, 5-HT3, 5-HT4 antagonists. Spontaneous phase III inhibited antagonists,...
In Germany, about 5 million people of all ages suffer from dysphagia. Due to demographic change and improved medical care, the incidence swallowing disorders is expected increase. Dysphagia associated with an increased morbidity mortality leads a considerable financial burden on health systems. The two most common causes dysphagia are neurological head neck cancer. Diagnostics therapy have developed continuously over past decades. particular, flexible endoscopic evaluation (FEES) has become...
Repeated injections of iodinated contrast media (CM) can lead to a deterioration the renal blood flow, redistribute from cortex other parts kidney and cause small decreases flow in cortical capillaries, significant reduction peritubular capillaries vasa recta. Therefore, study pigs was designed, show whether repeated injection CM boli, alone, oxygenation cortico-medullar tissue - region with highest oxygen demand pigs.While mean pO2-value had only decreased by 0.3 mmHg 29.9±4.3 29.6±4.3 (p =...
To evaluate the diagnostic performance (DP) of high-resolution contrast computed tomography (HR-contrast-CT) based Neck-Persistency-Net in distinguishing vital from non-vital persistent cervical lymph nodes (pcLNs) patients with advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) following primary concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CRT) [18F]-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission contrast-enhanced ([18F]FDG-PET-CT). Furthermore, Neck-Persistency-Net's potential to justify omitting post-CRT...
In this study, the objectification of subjective perception loudness was investigated using electroencephalography (EEG). particular, emergence objective markers in domain acoustic discomfort threshold examined.
BACKGROUND: Intra-arterial administration of radiographic contrast media (CM) is discussed to impair renal perfusion. The pathogenesis contrast-induced Nephropathy (CIN) still not clarified. OBJECTIVE: This trial was performed prove the effects two CM with different molecular structure on METHODS: A prospective, randomized study 16 pigs designed compare outcome after application a low-osmolar iodinated (770 mOsm/kg H2O – Group1) and an iso-osmolar (290 H2o Group2). Color Coded Doppler...
BACKGROUND: The Munich Swallowing Score (MUCSS) is a clinician rated scale for the assessment of functional level swallowing saliva/secretions, food and liquids. MUCSS consists two eight-point subscales, MUCSS-Saliva MUCSS-Nutrition. In previous article, content validity interrater reliability were described. OBJECTIVE: aim present study was to investigate criterion sensitivity change MUCSS. METHODS: research conducted at tertiary care academic hospital. Data collected retrospectively in...
The authors studied the contribution of seven clusters Lazarillo-expressing cells to primary axon scaffold brain in grasshopper Schistocerca gregaria from 26% 43% embryogenesis. Each cluster, which was numbered according when Lazarillo expression first appeared, uniquely identifiable on basis its stereotypic position and number it contained. At no time during embryogenesis found neuroblasts: It only progeny. For ease analysis, axogenesis followed a cell cluster that contained single (the...
To evaluate ultrasonographic hypoechoic lesions (HEL) of the head and neck region to predict their entity plan surgery. Patients with HEL were included that further analysed by B-mode ultrasound (US), colour-coded duplex sonography (CDS), contrast enhanced US (CEUS), strain elastography (SE). 184 patients included. Level VIII, II, I affected frequently 103, 40, 21 HEL. The cohort comprised 40 lymph node disorders, 101 salivary gland diseases, 31 cystic lesions, 12 other rarer entities. in...
