Five Specific Tongue Movements in a Healthy Population: AbstractThe importance of tongue mobility on speech, oral food transport, and swallowing is well recognized. However, whether the individual tongue mobility influences postoperative function in oral cancer treatment remains to be elucidated. This study assesses the ability to perform five tongue movements as rolling, twisting (two sides), folding, and the 'cloverleaf' in a healthy population. Because a tumor in oral cancer patients often restricts...

Brain Radiation Induced Extracranial Abscopal Effects in Metastatic Melanoma
Brain Radiation Induced Extracranial Abscopal Effects in Metastatic Melanoma: Historically, the brain has been viewed as a specialized neurovascular inert organ with a distinctive immune privilege. Therefore, radiation-induced extracranial abscopal effects would be considered an unusual phenomenon due to the difficulty of the immunogenic signaling molecules to travel across the blood-brain barrier (BBB). However, it is now possible that localized central nervous system radiation has the ability to...
