: Patients with CKD are prone to develop sensorineural hearing loss, tinnitus, recurrent epistaxis, opportunistic infections including oropharyngeal candidiasis or rhino-cerebral mucormycosis, taste and smell changes, phonatory and vestibular dysfunctions, deep neck infections, mucosal abnormalities, gingival hyperplasia, halitosis or xerostomia. Immunosuppressive therapy after kidney transplantation increases the risk of carcinogenesis, both related and not-related to latent viral infection. The most commonly viral-related neoplasms observed in these patients are oral and oropharyngeal cancers, whereas the majority of not-related to viral infection tumors constitute lip and thyroid cancers. CKD-related otorhinolaryngological dysfunctions are often permanent, difficult to control, have a significant negative influence on patient's quality of life, and can be life threatening.

The therapeutic process consists of several steps occurring during sessions throughout a period of weeks
Immediate effects of water resistance therapy on patients with vocal fold mass lesions: AbstractIntroductionSemi-occluded vocal tract exercises, such as water resistance therapy (WRT), are widely used in voice therapy. However, the potential positive effects of such a therapy on vocal fold oscillation patterns in patients indicating a need for phonomicrosurgery have not yet been explored. The presented study aims to analyze the effect of WRT in patients suffering from vocal fold mass lesions.Materials...

Construction of Nonsinusoidal Oscillation Waveform Function and Technological Parameters for Continuous Casting MoldNonsinusoidal oscillation techniques can shorten the negative strip time and improve the slab surface quality in the process of steel continuous casting. But the acceleration of nonsinusoidal oscillation is higher than that of the sinusoidal oscillation. So it is easy to result in the impact for the mold movement. To solve this problem, a nonsinusoidal oscillation waveform function...

Relationship among DSB, DSB repair, and transcription prevents genome instability and cancerAbstract DNA double‐strand break (DSB) is a serious type of DNA damage and is known to trigger multiple responses within cells. In the responses, novel relationships among DSB, DSB repair and transcription machineries are created. First, transcription is repressed if DSB occurs near or at the transcription site, termed DSB‐induced transcriptional repression, which contributes to DSB repair with the aid of...

UV radiation increases flavonoid protection but decreased reproduction in Silene littorea [NEW RESULTS]Plants respond to changes in ultraviolet (UV) radiation via morphological and physiological changes. Among the variety of plant UV-responses, the synthesis of UV-absorbing flavonoids constitutes an effective non-enzymatic mechanism to mitigate photoinhibitory and photooxidative damage caused by UV stress, either reducing the penetration of incident UV radiation or acting as quenchers of reactive...

The combination of acyclovir and dexamethasone protects against Alzheimer's disease-related cognitive impairments in mice: AbstractAlzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common neurodegenerative disease. However, effective drugs for this disease have not yet been developed. The analysis of big data indicated that childhood herpes virus infection may be associated with the incidence of AD, suggesting that anti-herpetic drugs, such as acyclovir, may have preventive and suppressive effects in AD therapy....

 Latest Results for Natural Language   , On the link between onset clusters and codas in Mbat (Jarawan Bantu)Abstract This paper explores morphologically-conditioned alternations in Mbat (Jarawan Bantu) verb stems. Some inflectional affixation in Mbat results in resyllabification. The singleton coda of a CGVC verb stem will become the onset of a new syllable following the addition of a vowel-initial suffix (e.g., Perfective -am). What is surprising is that this, in turn, triggers onset simplification...
