Background: Dysphagia (difficulty swallowing) is a common morbidity resulting from the treatment of head-and-neck squamous-cell carcinoma (HNSCC) due to surgery and chemoradiation. Transoral robotic surgery (TORS) is a minimally invasive surgical technique for the management of HNSCC, which ideally avoids many of the known complications of open surgery. Research describing physiologic swallowing impairment after surgery using videofluoroscopy is lacking.

The aim of this study is to test the factorial, convergent, and discriminant validity of the German version of the new Epistemic Trust, Mistrust and Credulity-Questionnaire (ETMCQ). Data were collected cross-sectionally from the German-speaking general population (N = 584) and in a second sample of clinical (n = 30) and non-clinical (n = 30) participants.

- The study focused on understanding healthcare students' intercultural sensitivity and its connection to empathy, aiming to improve education for better patient care.
- Researchers surveyed 508 students in Hungary, identifying four distinct intercultural sensitivity profiles: "Interculturally average," "Interculturally uncertain," "Interculturally sensitive," and "Interculturally refusing."
- Findings suggest specialized educational strategies for different groups, such as boosting confidence for the "uncertain" group and enhancing empathy for those who are "refusing," while also advocating for diverse learning environments.
Objective: To describe the technique and outcomes of a modified paramedian thoracic approach in dogs involving a parasternal thoracotomy via rib disarticulation at the sternocostal joint.
Animals: 93 client-owned dogs.
Methods: Medical records of dogs that underwent parasternal thoracotomy at a private practice between the years 2015 and 2021 were reviewed.
