The conflict between oral health and patient autonomy in dentistry: a scoping review.
BMC Med Ethics
December 2024
Institute of Behavioural Sciences, Semmelweis University, Budapest, Hungary.
Background: Respect for patient autonomy, the principle that patients are capable to make informed decisions about medical interventions, is fundamental in present-day medicine. However, if a patient's request is medically not indicated, the practitioner faces an ethical dilemma represented by the conflict of the principles of patient autonomy, beneficence, and maleficence. Adjacent to topics such as medical assistance in dying and healthy limb amputation, this ethical dilemma also manifests in the care of the maxillofacial region (the oral cavity and its surroundings), an area crucial to esthetic appearance, but also to everyday functions including mastication, speech, and facial expression, all of which are related to well-being.

Cochlear implant (CI) users face the decision of whether to upgrade to a new sound processor (SP) with technological advances. We wanted to assess the changes of speech perception ability and aided hearing thresholds as well as subjective satisfaction after upgrade to a new SP. Fifty-five patients who have used CI for 10 years or more and upgraded to a new SP were enrolled.

PLoS One
September 2024
Department of Otolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery, Boao Super Hospital, Qionghai, China.
Article Synopsis
- Real-world evidence is being utilized globally to enhance clinical and regulatory decisions, particularly for cochlear implant users in China, focusing on their specific speech-in-noise challenges.
- The study compared the Nucleus® 7 sound processor's performance, featuring a spatial noise algorithm called Forward Focus, against older sound processors in helping users recognize speech amidst dynamic noise.
- Results showed a significant improvement in speech recognition performance (7.54 dB) and a general satisfaction rate of 72% with the Nucleus 7, though satisfaction varied significantly depending on the hearing context, especially in noisy situations.*
The impact of headache intensity on speech in participants with migraine and acute post-traumatic headache.
Headache
August 2024
Department of Neurology, Mayo Clinic, Phoenix, Arizona, USA.
Background: Slower speaking rates and higher pause rates are found in individuals with migraine or post-traumatic headache during headache compared to when headache-free. We aimed to determine whether headache intensity influences the speaking rate and pause rate of participants with migraine or acute post-traumatic headache (aPTH) following mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI).
Methods: Using a speech elicitation tool, participants with migraine, aPTH, and healthy controls (HC) submitted speech samples over a period of 3 months.
