House–Brackmann (HB) classification is used universally to classify the severity of the facial nerve injury, but few centres have availability...
Does frailty lead to changes on quantitative measures of videofluoroscopic swallowing assessment?
In recent years, studies have considered the relationship between frailty and swallowing and demonstrated that decreased skeletal muscle mass correlates with decreased swallowing function. This study investigated this relationship by using quantitative measurement of three individual components of swallowing assessed...
Is there any point giving postoperative oral steroids after a FESS?
