Article Abstract
Objective: Aspiration pneumonia is one of the leading causes of death in patients with muscular dystrophy; therefore, it is important to predict its occurrence in the clincal setting. We aimed to examine the usefulness of repeated saliva swallowing test (RSST), modified water swallowing test (MWST), and flexible endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES) for evaluating the Hyodo score at the bedside, to predict the risk of aspiration pneumonia in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD).
Methods: In this retrospective cohort study involving 43 patients, we evaluated the swallowing function using the RSST, MWST, and FEES, and predicted the likelihood of aspiration pneumonia within 2 years after the assessment. The Hyodo score, a scoring system for evaluating the swallowing function determined by the FEES, was used.
Results: Pneumonia was observed in 14 patients (32.6%). The RSST was not significantly useful for predicting the onset of pneumonia. The MWST was reported to have a cutoff value of < 4 points. Significantly more patients in the pneumonia group had an MWST score of < 4 points. The results revealed that the occurrence of pneumonia could be predicted based on a Hyodo cutoff score of ≥ 6. Significantly more patients in the pneumonia group had an MWST score of < 4 or a Hyodo score of ≥ 6.
Conclusions: Combining MWST and FEES is useful for evaluating the bedside swallowing function and predicting the onset of pneumonia.

Right thoracotomy for surgical repair of Kommerell's diverticulum with a right-sided aortic arch and aberrant left subclavian artery: a video case report.

Kommerell's diverticulum (KD) combined with a right-sided aortic arch (RAA) and an aberrant left subclavian artery (ALSA) is a rare congenital vascular anomaly causing significant compressive dysphagia. Treatment options, including open surgery, thoracic endovascular aortic repair and hybrid approaches, are debated due to anatomical complexities. We report a 48-year-old female with dysphagia from symptomatic KD, RAA and ALSA, clearly delineated by preoperative computed tomography angiography.

Aim: To evaluate the effect of cooled endotracheal tubes on the incidence of postoperative sore throat, hoarseness, coughing, and dysphagia after endotracheal intubation.
Methods: This randomized controlled trial enrolled patients undergoing elective surgery under general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation at Adana Dr Turgut Noyan Hospital between April and September 2023. The patients were randomly assigned to be intubated with endotracheal tubes refrigerated at +4 °C for 4-6 hours before intubation (n=66) or with endotracheal tubes kept at the operating room temperature (+20-23 °C) (n=70).

Objective: In this study, we aimed to examine the relationship between the Eating Assessment Tool-10 (EAT10) score, a screening index for dysphagia, and the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) score, which evaluates daytime sleepiness in Japanese workers.
Method: A cross-sectional study of 496 workers (454 men and 42 women) at two business locations in Japan was conducted from November 2021 to June 2022. Dysphagia was assessed using the score of EAT10, a self-administered questionnaire.

Purpose: This study examined head and neck cancer treatment outcome priorities in patients with human papillomavirus-associated oropharyngeal cancer (HPVOPC) before and 12 months (12m) after (chemo)radiotherapy ([C]RT).
Methods And Materials: Eligible patients were diagnosed with HPVOPC suitable for curative-intent primary [C]RT. Study data included responses to a modified version of the Chicago Priorities Scale (CPS-modified) and select items from the MDASI Head and Neck Cancer Module (MDASI-HN).
Risk Factors Associated With Swallowing Complaints and Oral Sensory Problems in Children With a History of Preterm Birth.

Aim: Although previous studies have investigated feeding difficulties in preterm children, research exploring contextual risk factors within low- and middle-income countries like Turkey remains limited. This prospective cross-sectional study aims to identify factors associated with swallowing difficulties and oral sensory problems in children aged 3-10 years who were born preterm.
Method: A total of 158 parents of preterm children aged 3-10 years completed the Pediatric Eating Assessment Tool (PEDI-EAT-10) and the Oral Sensory Profile (Oral-SP).
