Pre-Existing Anxiety/Depression May Aggravate Dysphagia in Patients with Normal Swallowing Function
Although anxiety/depression may aggravate dysphagia in patients with normal swallowing function, this correlation may not hold in those with objective swallowing dysfunction.
> 80% Drop in Post-Excision Intraoperative Parathyroid Hormone Predicts High Rate of Cure in Both Classical and Normohormonal Primary Hyperparathyroidism
Patients with normohormonal primary hyperparathyroidism undergoing parathyroidectomy can expect cure rates like those of patients with classical primary hyperparathyroidism, with an 80% drop or more in intraoperative parathyroid hormone levels predicting a high likelihood of cure.
A New Survey Found Swallowing Disturbances to be Weakly Linked to Aspiration Findings
The SDQ is a survey of 15 questions developed for Parkinson’s disease patients but has been validated for patients with non-neurological disorders.
