Extensive literature exists concerning the etiology and morphology of fractures of the hyoid bone (h.b.) in cases of fatal strangulation. There is an agreement to the effect that fractures are mostly ...
Break tests in the a.p. direction line were carried out on 28 unfixed h.b. of adults on a specially constructed test bench by continuously increasing the tension until a fracture/dislocation occurred....
A total of 70 % of the experimentally-produced fractures were located within the distal third of the c.m. This matches with the frequency distribution in real typical symmetrical hanging. Following th...
The experimental fracture tests explained the known accumulation of fractures in the distal third of the c.m. in cases of hanging with the knot of the rope located against the neck. It could be demons...
We describe a case of woman in her 60s who presented with a painless mass in her left submandibular region that biopsies and imaging suggested was a pleomorphic adenoma. Intraoperative findings showed...
The objective of this study was to evaluate the relationship between hyoid bone position and severity of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), and to investigate its value as a complementary diagnostic metho...
A total of 133 patients who were diagnosed as OSA with an apnea-hypopnea index ≥ 5 were included. Clinical examination, level I polysomnography (PSG) and lateral cephalographic analysis were done. Com...
The distance between the hyoid bone and mandibular plane was significantly longer in the severe OSA group (p = 0.013). The distance from hyoid bone to third vertebrae (C3) and hyoid bone to mentum wer...
The distance between the hyoid bone and mandibular plane derived from cephalometric analysis can be a valuable diagnostic parameter that can be easily applied in differentiating severe OSA patients....
Hyoid bone syndrome is a type of faciocervical pain and occasionally concomitant clicking larynx that is caused by degeneration and/or elongation of the greater horn of the hyoid bone at the attachmen...
We report five patients who presented with deep-seated, dull, aching, throat pain that radiated from neck, accompanying by throat clicking while speaking, swallowing, yawning, and turning head. Most n...
Clicking sensation and pain while deglutition is an unpleasant condition, which produces physiological and psychological bearings. This dictates the need for accurate diagnosis and proper management o...
To compare the ultrasound measurement of distance from the approximation of the hyoid bone during of the maximum deglutition peak between healthy individuals and neurogenic dysphagic individuals and t...
Dysphagia is one of the common complications after stroke. Dysphagia significantly increases the probability of serious adverse consequences. The purpose of this study was to compare the characteristi...
Fifteen patients with post-stroke dysphagia and fifteen healthy adults simultaneously underwent the videofluoroscopic and surface electromyography of the submental muscles while swallowing 5 ml of con...
Stage transition duration and duration of surface electromyographic activity were extended significantly in post-stroke dysphagia patients(P < 0.05). Surface electromyography amplitude and hyoid movem...
Submental muscles electromyographic signal changes in patients may be the result of uncoordinated muscle contractions and decreased muscle strength. Furthermore, the reduced hyoid movement distance ma...
Hyoid bone excursion (HBE) is one of the most critical events in the pharyngeal phase of swallowing. Most previous studies focused on the total displacement and average velocity of HBE. However, HBE d...
To synthesize the scientific knowledge on which measurements of hyoid bone movement during swallowing are obtained by ultrasonography and how to extract these measures....
The PECO question and combinations of descriptors and keywords were formulated in the electronic databases Medline/PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, Scopus and Lilacs....
Articles that used ultrasonography to analyze measurements of hyoid bone movement during swallowing were included, regardless of language, year of publication, or presence of deglutition disorders....
The included articles were analyzed for: year, study site, study design, population, sample size, equipment used, transducer positioning, measurements obtained, method of extraction, and reliability o...
Twenty-six articles met the eligibility criteria. The most frequent measurement was hyoid movement maximum amplitude, followed by time and velocity. There was great variability in the study population...
Amplitude, time and velocity are the measures of hyoid bone movement during swallowing that can be obtained by ultrasonography. There is no standardization on how to extract these measurements....
We aimed to explore the position, morphological, and morphometric properties of the hyoid bone (HB) and to investigate the effect of HB on the pharyngeal airway (PA) volume and cephalometric measureme...
A total of 305 patients with CT images were included in the study. DICOM images were transferred to the InVivoDental three-dimensional imaging software. The position of the HB was determined based on ...
HB was most commonly located in C3 vertebra level (80.3%). While B-type was found to be the most frequent (34%), V-type was the least frequent (8%). The volume of the HB was found to be significantly ...
The volume of the HB is found to differ significantly between genders and can potentially serve as a valuable diagnostic tool for understanding respiratory disorders. Its morphometric features are ass...
Background and Objectives: To determine whether there are changes in the cephalometric characteristics of the upper airways and hyoid bone, in patients diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome ...
