Abstract:

The Head and Neck Patients Concerns Inventory (HN-PCI) is a self-completed holistic tool that helps patients to disclose items of concern they wish to discuss. The MD study was designed to evaluate the roll-out of HN-PCI in subjects who were unfamiliar with it. The primary aim of the study was to evaluate HN-PCI can help patients self-disclose concerns. The secondary aims were to: (1) categorise HN-PCI items into domains; (2) develop a thematic content analysis; (5) examine associations between concerns and distress; (4) examine associations between clinicopathological factors with HN-PCI cons

Abstract:

Chronic neck pain is a widespread problem that causes individual suffering as well as large costs for the society. The knowledge about the pathophysiology is poor and therefore specific diagnosis and causal treatment are rare. Important knowledge for characterization of the disorders has been gained from research on sensorimotor functions in people with neck pain. Moreover, rehabilitation regimes including sensorimotor exercises indicate promising results. The main objectives of this thesis were to extend the knowledge on sensorimotor dysfunctions in chronic neck pain, and to develop a new exe

Abstract:

Background South Africa has a high rate of injuries related to violence which includes penetrating neck injuries (PNI’s). Of the 163 patients that are annually referred for contrast swallow studies to exclude associated pharyngo-oesophageal injuries (PPOI’s), only 0-14% contrast studies confirm injury. The contrast swallow is still viewed as the ‘gold standard’ for oesophageal pathology even in the modern era of digital general radiography and Multidetector Computerized Tomographic Angiogram (MDCTA).

Abstract:

Background: Neck pain and injury is a common occurrence in high performance combat pilots (HPCP) around the world. The cause of this has been attributed to exposure to the unavoidable high mechanical loading related to the neck being positioned in non-neutral head postures whilst being exposed to moderate to high +Gz levels. Specific neck conditioning exercises have been proposed as being a possible method to decrease the incidence of neck pain and injury in this population. However, there has been sparsely published research examining the suitability of selected exercises for HPCP who partici

Abstract:

The epidemiology of head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC), primarily those of the oropharynx, has changed dramatically over the last two decades. Specifically, HNSCC appears to be a distinct entity that is related to infection by human papilloma virus (HPV)(Vokes et al., 2015) (Fakhry et al., 2008). Moreover, the incidence of HPV-associated oropharyngeal (OP) cancers is rising, likely as a consequence of changing life styles and sexual behaviors. These tumors appear to be biologically and clinically distinct from other HNSCC tumors affecting predominantly middle-aged white men having

Background: Patients with chronic neck pain have a number of factors that could constitute a predisposition for respiratory dysfunction. However, the existing evidence is limited and not well established, and many questions such as the association of neck pain deficits with respiratory function remain unanswered. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate whether patients with chronic neck have accompanying respiratory dysfunction and which are the neck pain deficits which principally predispose to these respiratory disturbances.Methods: In this case-control observational study, 45 patient

Background: Head and neck cancer (HNSCC) affects 650,000 people annually. Laryngeal cancer (LSCC) and oropharyngeal cancer (OPSCC) are amongst the commonest sub-types. For other cancers e.g. breast cancer, personalised treatments based on tumour markers have improved patient survival. With the exception of human papilloma virus (HPV); there are no clinically utilised biomarkers in HNSCC. Insulin growth factor receptor 1 (IGF-1R) and HPV are promising molecular markers in LSCC and OPSCC respectively.

Extracellular DNA (eDNA) is a ubiquitous component of the extracellular matrix of microbial biofilms. It has a number of functions that include a role as an adhesin during biofilm attachment, and facilitating matrix stability in mature biofilms. Increasingly, deoxyribonuclease (DNase) enzymes have been shown to reduce the colonisation of many microbial biofilms, both bacterial and fungal. Biofilms are estimated to be responsible for around 60% of bacterial infections, including many chronic diseases.

Abstract:

Photodynamic therapy, PDT, is a method to diagnose and treat cancer. In PDT a sensitizer is administered to the patient and this sensitizer is accumulated in tumors. If the sensitizer-containing tumor is subjected to a laser of a specific wavelength the tumor is fluorescing allowing diagnostics. If other wavelengths are used a process involving reactive oxygen species and singlet oxygen is started and the tumor cells are killed. This process thus requires oxygen as well.

Today we lack means to assess the biological aggressiveness of each individual tumour, which varies largely.

Abstract:

The neural connections between the vestibular, visual, proprioceptive and voluntary inputs are essential for the control of neck posture and movements. One mechanism how this is achieved is by vestibulo-spinal reflexes, such as vestibulo-collic reflex (VCR), and cervico-collic reflexes (CCR). The main role of these reflexes is to stabilize the head either in space or relative to the trunk, respectively. The VCR stabilises the head in space while the CCR tends to re-align the head on the trunk. These two reflexes can work synergistically or an-tagonistically according to context and movement go

Head and neck cancer is the 6th most common cancer and is generally treated with surgery and post surgical radiotherapy (RT) alone or in combination with chemotherapy (CT). Over 50% of the patients fail to respond to such treatment while suffering the undesirable side effects of radio-chemotherapy. This highlights the need for new strategies to be able to select patients who could benefit from a specific treatment type to spare cost and suffering to the patients. Furthermore, there is need for targeted and effective therapeutics for this disease. TRAIL and Smac mimetics are novel promising ant
