• Abstract

  Justification: The ability to reorganize a function after muscle damage depends on brain adaptations. In case of tongue resection, for example, the brain must relearn how to use the new organ. This reorganization is the preliminary goal from neural recovery and to facilitate the function recovery and it can be influenced by experience, behavior, task practice and as an answer for brain da…

  There are not well established criteria about the security of oral feeding on patients presenting laryngeal aspiration. The objectives of this study are to evaluate pulmonary quality of life and to identify risk factors related to postoperative pulmonary complications in patients with dysphagia in head and neck cancer. This is a prospective study will be included patients undergoing treat…

• Abstract

  Currently there are many studies on voice changes evaluation and it's impact on patients after thyroidectomy, however we believe that studying these patients before surgery is an important goal, because individuals may present these changes even before thyroidectomy, possibly due to hormonal alterations, presence of tumor and its extension that can compress nerves, or syndrome of muscul…

• Abstract

  There are studies that prove vocal following radiotherapy without the focus of radiation has been the region of the larynx. So far, we know of the evolution of speech therapy in the rehabilitation of sequels of surgical oncology treatment. However, the effects of voice rehabilitation in vocal sequelae resulting from radiotherapy alone or combined with chemotherapy are poorly described esp…
