Article Synopsis
- This study looks at the link between traumatic brain injury (TBI) and the risk of stroke in young-to-middle-aged adults aged 18 to 49, highlighting that TBI significantly increases the likelihood of having a stroke.
- Data from over 500,000 adults with TBI revealed that stroke incidence was 3.82 per 1000 person-years compared to 1.61 in healthy controls, with TBI patients facing nearly double the risk of stroke.
- The findings stress the importance of stroke prevention measures in younger patients after TBI, emphasizing the need for regular health checkups and lifestyle changes to manage stroke risk factors.
Background: Unilateral vocal cord paralysis may result from nerve compression by tumors or direct nerve injuries during tumor resections, which can cause dysphonia or dysphagia, and reduced quality of life.
Objectives: This prospective, single-group study aimed to investigate the effect of percutaneous injection laryngoplasty on voice and swallowing function in patients with cancer-related unilateral vocal cord paralysis.
Methods: Patients underwent percutaneous injection laryngoplasty with hyaluronic acid under local anesthesia.
