Veins of Head and Neck01:19

Veins of Head and Neck

2.2K
The blood drainage from the head and neck is primarily managed by three pairs of veins: the external jugular, internal jugular, and vertebral veins. The external jugular veins drain superficial scalp and face structures, passing over the sternocleidomastoid muscles to empty into the subclavian veins.
On the other hand, the vertebral veins, unlike their arterial counterparts, are not primarily responsible for brain drainage. Instead, they drain the cervical vertebrae, spinal cord, and some small...

Arteries of the Head and Neck

1.5K
The human body's intricate network of arteries ensures that every organ system receives the necessary oxygen and nutrients for optimal function. The arterial network in the head and neck region is particularly complex, providing vital blood flow to the brain, eyes, and other critical structures. Prominent arteries in this region include the internal carotid arteries and the vertebral arteries.
The internal carotid arteries supply blood to the anterior portion of the cerebrum. They enter the...

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Rehabilitation Medicine
  • Psychology

Background:

  • Head and neck cancer (HNC) treatment frequently leads to long-term side effects.
  • Dysphagia affects approximately 50% of HNC survivors, while 25% experience clinically significant body image distress (BID).
  • Both dysphagia and BID negatively impact survivors' quality of life.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the prevalence and impact of dysphagia and BID in HNC survivors.
  • To emphasize the importance of validated outcome measures for tracking these conditions.
  • To introduce a novel, evidence-based treatment for BID in HNC survivors.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing validated clinician- and patient-reported outcome measures, including the Performance Status Scale for Head and Neck Cancer, MD Anderson Dysphagia Inventory, and Inventory to Measure and Assess imaGe disturbancE-Head & Neck (IMAGE-HN).
  • Employing subjective and objective evaluation measures for comprehensive dysphagia assessment.
  • Implementing a brief telemedicine-based cognitive behavioral therapy intervention for BID.

Main Results:

  • Dysphagia and BID are significant sequelae of HNC treatment, affecting a substantial portion of survivors.
  • Validated instruments are crucial for monitoring the progression and impact of dysphagia and BID.
  • Telemedicine cognitive behavioral therapy has emerged as the first evidence-based treatment for BID in HNC survivors.

Conclusions:

  • Effective management of HNC requires addressing both physical (dysphagia) and psychosocial (BID) challenges.
  • Standardized assessment tools are essential for patient care and research in HNC survivorship.
  • Telemedicine offers a viable and effective platform for delivering psychological interventions like CBT for BID.
