Noninvasive inter- and intrafractional motion control in ultrahypofractionated radiation therapy of prostate cancer using RayPilot HypoCath™—a substitute for gold fiducial-based IGRT? Open
Purpose In ultrahypofractionated radiation concepts, managing of intrafractional motion is mandatory because tighter margins are used and random errors resulting from prostate movement are not averaged out over a large number of fractions.…

Detecting dysphagia using perceptual evaluation of vocal quality Open
Herein, we evaluated the effectiveness of assessing “wetness” of sound extracted from ordinary Japanese utterances to detect dysphagia. Forty-five patients experiencing dysphagic symptoms after undergoing treatment for head and neck cancer…

Risk-adapted moderate hypofractionation of prostate cancer Open
Risk-adapted moderate hypofractionation is associated with low GI/GU toxicity. Given the higher rate of pelvic metastases in HR patients, slightly higher transient acute reactions should be outweighed by possible oncological benefits.

Prediction of Aspiration by Perceptual Evaluation of Pre-swallow Wet Voice and Wet Expiratory Sounds in Adults Diagnosed with Head and Neck Cancer Open
This study investigated the relationships between the perceptual evaluation of “wetness” of both pre-swallow voice and expiratory sound and video fluoroscopic swallowing study (VFSS) findings. Pre-swallow phonation of the vowel “a” and exp…

Laryngeal Elevation Velocity and Aspiration in Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients Open
Reduced laryngeal elevation velocity for laryngeal elevated to position where laryngeal vestibule is fully closed was an independent predictor of aspiration in patients with acute ischemic stroke. This may be related to a decreased contrac…

Clinical inter‐rater reliability of postural control techniques Open
Effectiveness of postural control techniques to compensate for oropharyngeal dysphagia have been recommended and used by several clinicians. However, the inter‐rater reliability of these techniques is not well understood. The purpose of th…

Identifying the Timing of Swallowing Sounds Using Videoendoscopy Findings in Healthy Adults Open
Cervical auscultation is a useful tool for detecting dysphagia; however, the sites where swallowing sounds are produced are unknown. In this study, we investigated the relationship between swallowing sounds and videoendoscopy (VE) images i…
