Tongue Proactive Strengthening Exercise Program Following Partial/Hemi Glossectomy and Reconstruction
This study is being done to determine whether adding a proactive tongue strengthening exercise program using a biofeedback device (the Tongueometer) improves speech and swallowing outcomes after surgery for tongue cancer. Patients who undergo partial or hemiglossectomy often experience difficulties with speech and swallowing, which can significantly impact their quality …
Validation of ICG-99mTc-nanoscan as Hybrid Tracer for Sentinel Node Biopsy
99mTc-nanocolloid, the world wide used hybrid tracer for dynamic sentinel node biopsy, has recently been replaced with 99mTc-nanoscan. The hybrid form (ICG-99mTc-nanoscan) has not yet been validated, to show the similarity between the lymphatic drainage pattern between ICG-99mTc-nanoscan and 99mTc-nanoscan.
