Because sinusitis is often preceded by and almost always accompanied by, inflammation of the nasal mucosa, the term "rhinosinusitis" is used by ENT (ear,

Swallowing dysfunction (dysphagia) following stroke results from damage to sensory and motor nerve pathways, impairing muscular physiology and impacting swallow timeliness and airway closure. People with dysphagia experience impaired swallowing safety (entry of food or liquid into the airway -

Background: AVF is the preferred vascular access for maintenance hemodialysis. However, AVF is not an ideal vascular access without any drawback. Previous studies had revealed several risk factors of AVF maturation failure, including anemia, diabetes mellitus, and smoking. On the other hand, basic
