Objective: The Sunnybrook Facial Grading System (SFGS) is a well-established grading system to assess the severity and progression of a unilateral facial palsy. The automation of the SFGS makes the SFGS more accessible for researchers, students, clinicians in training, or other untrained co-workers and could be implemented in an eHealth environment. This study investigated the impact on the reliability of the automated SFGS by adding a facial landmark layer in a previously developed convolutional neural network (CNN).

- - The text discusses how symptoms of acute upper airway obstruction and dysphagia can suggest serious conditions like laryngeal cancer, but it also highlights a rare condition called diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) that can mimic these symptoms.
- - The case study includes two elderly males who experienced serious swallowing issues and airway obstructions due to large bone growths (osteophytes) in their neck areas.
- - The conclusion emphasizes the need for healthcare providers to consider DISH when diagnosing similar symptoms, as early identification can lead to effective treatment and improved patient outcomes, avoiding more drastic interventions.
Talk by members of executive hospital boards influences the organizational positioning of nurses. Talk is a relational leadership practice. Using a qualitative-interpretive design we organized focus group meetings wherein members of executive hospital boards (7), nurses (14), physicians (7), and managers (6), from 15 Dutch hospitals, discussed the organizational positioning of nursing during COVID crisis.

Guidelines worldwide are consensus-based, and evidence for specific subgroups is lacking. This study evaluates routine LSCC follow-up including flexible endoscopy for detecting locoregional recurrence (LRR).

This study evaluates the time-to-treatment initiation (TTI) for parotid gland tumors in the Netherlands and relates these to the MSRSGC classification. Subsequently, the use of the MSRSGC in the Netherlands is evaluated.
