Swallowing Kinematics in Male Patients with Total Laryngectomy.

Objective: The present study aimed to investigate the symptomatic swallowing complaints in individuals with total laryngectomy (TL) and reveal how swallowing kinematics differs between those with and without symptomatic dysphagia complaints.

Methods: A total of 34 subjects with TL were included in the study. Swallowing kinematics of those with symptomatic swallowing complaints (Group 1) were compared to those without (Group 2).

Coronavirus disease 2019 status and related anxiety levels in cases undergoing total laryngectomy.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate rate of the COVID-19 disease, its severity, mortality rate and anxiety levels in subjects who underwent total laryngectomy.

Methods: The subjects who underwent total laryngectomy were included in the study. The data were first obtained retrospectively and then a telephone survey was applied.

Efficacy of radiological depth of invasion measurements on magnetic resonance images acquired at different magnetic field strengths and imaging sequences in predicting cervical lymph node metastasis and other outcomes in tongue cancer.

Objectives: We investigated the correlation between magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) parameters and tumor pathological depth of invasion (pDOI), between pDOI and radiological DOI (rDOI), between rDOI and duration between biopsy and MRI, and between rDOI and duration between MRI and surgery to determine the efficacy of rDOI in identifying small lesions and other conditions.

Study Design: We examined 36 adult patients who had been diagnosed histopathologically with cancer of the tongue and had undergone a glossectomy. Using 1.

Diagnostic performance of FDG PET/MRI for cervical lymph node metastasis in patients with clinically N0 head and neck cancer.

Objective: Treatment management in cases of head and neck squamous cell cancer (HNSCC) that are clinically negative for lymph node metastases (cN0) is still an important topic of discussion. There is increasing interest in sensitive imaging modalities that can detect the risk of occult metastases at levels below 20%. This study aimed to examine the efficacy of integrated positron emission tomography (PET)/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in determining neck nodal metastasis status in cN0 patients with HNSCC.
