RESUMO

SUMMARY: The study aims to demonstrate the success of deep learning methods in sex prediction using hyoid bone. The images of people aged 15-94 years who underwent neck Computed Tomography (CT) were retrospectively scanned in the study. The neck CT images of the individuals were cleaned using the RadiAnt DICOM Viewer (version 2023.1) program, leaving only the hyoid bone. A total of 7 images in the anterior, posterior, superior, inferior, right, left, and right-anterior-upward directions were obtained from a patient's cut hyoid bone image. 2170 images were obtained from 310 hyoid bones of males, and 1820 images from 260 hyoid bones of females. 3990 images were completed to 5000 images by data enrichment. The dataset was divided into 80 % for training, 10 % for testing, and another 10 % for validation. It was compared with deep learning models DenseNet121, ResNet152, and VGG19. An accuracy rate of 87 % was achieved in the ResNet152 model and 80.2 % in the VGG19 model. The highest rate among the classified models was 89 % in the DenseNet121 model. This model had a specificity of 0.87, a sensitivity of 0.90, an F1 score of 0.89 in women, a specificity of 0.90, a sensitivity of 0.87, and an F1 score of 0.88 in men. It was observed that sex could be predicted from the hyoid bone using deep learning methods DenseNet121, ResNet152, and VGG19. Thus, a method that had not been tried on this bone before was used. This study also brings us one step closer to strengthening and perfecting the use of technologies, which will reduce the subjectivity of the methods and support the expert in the decision-making process of sex prediction.

El estudio tuvo como objetivo demostrar el éxito de los métodos de aprendizaje profundo en la predicción del sexo utilizando el hueso hioides. En el estudio se escanearon retrospectivamente las imágenes de personas de entre 15 y 94 años que se sometieron a una tomografía computarizada (TC) de cuello. Las imágenes de TC del cuello de los individuos se limpiaron utilizando el programa RadiAnt DICOM Viewer (versión 2023.1), dejando solo el hueso hioides. Se obtuvieron un total de 7 imágenes en las direcciones anterior, posterior, superior, inferior, derecha, izquierda y derecha-anterior-superior a partir de una imagen seccionada del hueso hioides de un paciente. Se obtuvieron 2170 imágenes de 310 huesos hioides de hombres y 1820 imágenes de 260 huesos hioides de mujeres. Se completaron 3990 imágenes a 5000 imágenes mediante enriquecimiento de datos. El conjunto de datos se dividió en un 80 % para entrenamiento, un 10 % para pruebas y otro 10 % para validación. Se comparó con los modelos de aprendizaje profundo DenseNet121, ResNet152 y VGG19. Se logró una tasa de precisión del 87 % en el modelo ResNet152 y del 80,2 % en el modelo VGG19. La tasa más alta entre los modelos clasificados fue del 89 % en el modelo DenseNet121. Este modelo tenía una especificidad de 0,87, una sensibilidad de 0,90, una puntuación F1 de 0,89 en mujeres, una especificidad de 0,90, una sensibilidad de 0,87 y una puntuación F1 de 0,88 en hombres. Se observó que se podía predecir el sexo a partir del hueso hioides utilizando los métodos de aprendizaje profundo DenseNet121, ResNet152 y VGG19. De esta manera, se utilizó un método que no se había probado antes en este hueso. Este estudio también nos acerca un paso más al fortalecimiento y perfeccionamiento del uso de tecnologías, que reducirán la subjetividad de los métodos y apoyarán al experto en el proceso de toma de decisiones de predicción del sexo.

RESUMO

The aim of this study was to investigate the measures of displacement, time and velocity of hyoid bone movement in female thyroidectomy patients. Fifty-eight ultrasound videos of 29 women during swallowing were analyzed. The sample was divided into experimental group (EG), composed of 12 women following total or partial thyroidectomy; and control group (CG) of 17 healthy women. The kinematic measures of displacement, time and velocity of hyoid bone displacement were tracked during swallowing of 10 ml of liquid (water) and 10 ml of thickened liquid (honey) in both groups for comparisons. Additional analysis included bolus consistency effect and relationship with clinical characteristics. Ultrasound videos were analyzed according to a standardized protocol using ImageJ software. Displacement, time and velocity of hyoid movement during swallowing of 10 ml of liquid or thickened liquid were not statistically different between female thyroidectomy patients and healthy women. There is no bolus consistency effect on kinematic measures in both groups, but among thyroidectomy patients, velocity of hyoid bone movement is significantly faster in those with swallowing complaints.

RESUMO

RESUMO Comparar a medida ultrassonográfica de distância da aproximação do osso hioide no momento do pico máximo da deglutição entre indivíduos saudáveis e disfágicos neurogênicos e verificar o efeito das consistências do alimento no deslocamento do osso hioide. Estudo clínico prospectivo controlado. Foram realizadas avaliações ultrassonográficas da deglutição orofaríngea em 10 adultos com diagnóstico de disfagia orofaríngea e 10 adultos saudáveis, pareados por sexo e faixa etária. Para tanto, foi utilizado ultrassom portátil com transdutor microconvex 5-10 MHz, além de estabilizador de cabeça. As imagens ultrassonográficas foram gravadas pelo software Articulate Assistant Advanced a uma taxa de 120 quadros/segundo. Foram utilizadas as consistências de alimentos nível 0 (volume livre e 5 mL) e nível 4 (5 mL), conforme as recomendações do International Dysphagia Diet Standardisation Initiative. A distância foi mensurada no momento do pico máximo da deglutição entre a parte inferior do osso hioide e a inserção do músculo milo-hioideo. Cálculos de média e o desvio padrão foram utilizados na análise descritiva, enquanto o teste ANOVA de medidas repetidas foi aplicado na análise inferencial.Resultados evidenciaram que indivíduos disfágicos apresentaram menor elevação do osso hioide, marcada por maior distância da aproximação do osso hioide no momento do pico máximo da deglutição quando comparados aos indivíduos saudáveis, independentemente da consistência alimentar ofertada. Concluiu-se que a medida ultrassonográfica de distância da aproximação do osso hioide no momento do pico máximo da deglutição mostrou menor elevação laríngea em indivíduos com disfagia orofaríngea neurogênica quando comparados aos indivíduos saudáveis para todas as consistências alimentares ofertadas.

ABSTRACT 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 to verify the effect of food consistencies on the displacement of the hyoid bone. Prospective, controlled clinical study. Ultrasound recordings of the oropharyngeal deglutition were conducted in 10 adults diagnosed with oropharyngeal dysphagia and in 10 healthy adults, matched by sex and age group. A portable ultrasound model Micro ultrasound system with a microconvex transducer 5-10 MHz, coupled to a computer as well as the head stabilizer were used. The ultrasound images were recorded using the AAA software (Articulate Assistant Advanced) at a rate of 120 frames/second. Food consistencies level 0 (free volume and 5 mL) and level 4 (5 mL) were used, based on the International Dysphagia Diet Standardisation Initiative (IDSSI). The calculation of the mean and standard deviation was used for the descriptive analysis, while the repeated measures ANOVA test was used for the inferential analysis. Results showed dysphagic individuals had lower elevation of the hyoid bone marked by a longer distance from the approximation of the hyoid bone during of the maximum deglutition peak when compared to healthy individuals, regardless of the food consistency offered. It was concluded that the ultrasound measurement of distance from the approximation of the hyoid bone during of the maximum deglutition peak showed less laryngeal elevation in individuals with neurogenic oropharyngeal dysphagia when compared to healthy individuals for all food consistencies offered.

RESUMO

O cisto epidermóide (CE) é uma má formação cística de desenvolvimento incomum. Ocorre mais comumente na linha média do assoalho da boca, ocasionalmente localiza-se lateralmente ou em outros sítios. A etiologia do CE ainda é incerta, mas acredita-se que esteja associado a remanentes do ectoderma durante a fusão do primeiro e segundo arcos branquiais. A lesão cresce lentamente sem provocar dor, apresentando-se como massa de consistência semelhante à de borracha ou à massa de pão. Seu diagnóstico se dá por meio de exame clínico e exames complementares de imagem como tomografia computadorizada, ressonância magnética e/ou ultrassonografia, entretanto somente com o exame histopatológico é possível um diagnóstico definitivo. A excisão cirúrgica do cisto é o tratamento de escolha. Quando o diagnóstico é precoce e a intervenção correta, o índice de recidiva torna-se raro. Diante da raridade de casos na região maxilo facial e a dificuldade relacionada ao diagnóstico, o presente trabalho tem como objetivos descrever a ocorrência do cisto epidermóide bem como seu diagnóstico através de exame histopatológico/exames de imagem, tratamento cirúrgico e contribuir com a literatura já existente por meio de um relato de caso que foi diagnosticado no Serviço de Patologia Bucal da Universidade de Gurupi, campus Gurupi/TO.

Epidermoid cysts (EC) is an unusually developing cystic malformation that occurs most frequently in the midline of the floor of the mouth, occasionally located laterally or elsewhere. The etiology of the (EC) still uncertain, but it is believed to be associated with remnants of the ectoderm during the fusion of the first and second branchial arches. The lesion grows slowly without causing pain, presenting itself as a mass with a consistency like of rubber or bread dough. Diagnosis of (EC) is made through complementary imaging tests such as computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging and/or ultrasound, only histopathological examination it is possible to obtain a definitive diagnosis. Surgical excision of cyst is the treatment of choice. When the diagnosis is made early and the intervention is correct, the recurrence rate is rare. Given the rarity of cases in the maxillofacial region and the difficulty related to diagnosis, this study aims to describe epidermoid cysts occurrence and your diagnostic through of histopathologic/imagine exams, surgical treatment and contribute to the existing literature, through a review and description of a clinical case that was diagnosed at the Oral Pathology Outpatient Clinic at the Faculty of Dentistry - University of Gurupi - UNIRG. Gurupi -Tocantins. Brazil.

Estratégia de pesquisa A pergunta PECO e as combinações de descritores e palavras-chave foram formuladas nas bases de dados eletrônicas Medline/PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, Scopus and Lilacs. Critérios de seleção Foram incluídos os artigos que utilizaram a ultrassonografia para analisar as medidas de movimento do osso hioide durante a deglutição, independentemente do idioma, ano de publicação ou presença de alteração na deglutição. Análise dos dados Os artigos incluídos foram analisados quanto: ano, local do estudo, desenho do estudo, população, tamanho da amostra, equipamento utilizado, posicionamento do transdutor, medidas obtidas, método de extração e confiabilidade das medidas. Resultados Vinte e seis artigos cumpriram os critérios de elegibilidade. A medida mais frequente foi a de amplitude máxima do movimento, seguida de tempo e velocidade. Houve grande variabilidade quanto à população de estudo, equipamentos utilizados, posicionamento do transdutor e método de extração das medidas, não sendo possível estabelecer padronização. O nível de confiabilidade foi investigado em apenas oito artigos. Conclusão Amplitude, tempo e velocidade são as medidas do movimento do osso hioide durante a deglutição que podem ser obtidas por ultrassonografia. Não há padronização dos métodos de extração dessas medidas.

ABSTRACT Purpose To synthesize the scientific knowledge on which measurements of hyoid bone movement during swallowing are obtained by ultrasonography and how to extract these measures. Research strategies The PECO question and combinations of descriptors and keywords were formulated in the electronic databases Medline/PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, Scopus and Lilacs. Selection criteria 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. Data analysis 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 of measurements. Results 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, equipment used, positioning of the transducer and method of extraction of the measurements. Thus, it was not possible to find a standard model to extract the measures. The level of reliability was investigated in only eight articles. Conclusion 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.

RESUMO

Abstract Introduction The association between the intensity of obstructive sleep apnea and skeletal alterations in the face and hyoid bone is still scarcely addressed in the literature. Objective To evaluate whether the intensity of obstructive sleep apnea is associated with craniofacial alterations and the position of the hyoid bone in children with mixed dentition. Methods 76 children aged 7 to 10 years old were examined by otorhinolaryngological evaluation, polysomnography, and orthodontic assessment, including cephalometry. The participants were divided in 3 groups: primary snoring, mild obstructive sleep apnea and moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea. Cephalometric measures of the face and hyoid bone were assessed. These measures were compared among the different groups by unpaired Student's t test. Moreover, these measures were correlated with the patient's obstructive apnea and hypopnea index variable using Pearson's correlation test. Results Of the 76 children, 14 belonged to group 1, with primary snoring; 46 to group 2, with mild obstructive sleep apnea; and 16 to group 3, with moderate-severe obstructive sleep apnea. There was no difference between the groups regarding the craniofacial variables. Children with obstructive sleep apnea showed a longer distance from the hyoid bone to the mandibular plane when compared to the primary snoring group (p < 0.05). Between the two obstructive sleep apnea subgroups, patients with moderate or severe disease showed significantly shorter horizontal distance between the hyoid bone and the posterior pharyngeal wall (p < 0.05), when compared to the groups with mild obstructive sleep apnea. We also observed a significant positive correlation between obstructive apnea and hypopnea index and the distance from the hyoid to the mandibular plane (p < 0.05) as well as a significant negative association between obstructive apnea and hypopnea index and the horizontal distance from the hyoid to the posterior pharyngeal wall (p < 0.01). Conclusion We did not observe any association between obstructive sleep apnea and linear lateral alterations of the face. In contrast, there is a direct association between obstructive sleep apnea severity and the inferior and posterior position of the hyoid bone in children aged 7 to 10 years old.

Resumo Introdução A relação entre a intensidade da apneia obstrutiva do sono e alterações esqueléticas da face e do hioide em crianças é pouco explorada na literatura. Objetivo Avaliar se a intensidade da apneia obstrutiva do sono correlaciona-se às alterações craniofaciais e ao posicionamento do osso hioide em crianças em fase de dentição mista. Método Foram submetidas 76 crianças entre 7 e 10 anos à avaliação otorrinolaringológica, polissonografia e avaliação ortodôntica, inclusive cefalometria. Os participantes foram divididos em 3 grupos: grupo 1 com ronco primário, grupo 2 com apneia obstrutiva do sono leve e grupo 3 com apneia obstrutiva do sono moderada/grave. Foram analisadas medidas cefalométricas da face e do osso hioide. Essas medidas foram comparadas entre si dentro dos diferentes grupos por teste t de Student não pareado. Além disso, essas medidas foram correlacionadas com a variável índice de apneias obstrutivas e hipopneias do paciente através do teste de correlação de Pearson. Resultados Das 76 crianças, 14 constituíram o grupo 1, ronco primário; 46 o grupo 2, apneia obstrutiva do sono leve; e 16 o grupo 3, apneia obstrutiva do sono moderada/grave. Não se observou diferença significante entre os grupos para as variáveis craniofaciais. Observou-se maior distância do osso hioide ao plano mandibular nos dois grupos com apneia obstrutiva do sono quando comparado ao ronco primário (p < 0,05). Entre os dois subgrupos da apneia obstrutiva do sono, os pacientes com doença moderada ou grave apresentaram distância horizontal entre o hioide e a parede posterior da faringe significantemente menor (p < 0,05), quando comparados aos grupos com apneia obstrutiva do sono leve. Observamos ainda correlação significantemente positiva entre índice de apneias obstrutivas e hipopneias e a distância do hioide ao plano mandibular (p < 0,05) e significantemente negativa entre índice de apneias obstrutivas e hipopneias e distância horizontal do hioide com a parede posterior da faringe (p < 0,01). Conclusão Não observamos relação da apneia obstrutiva do sono com alterações lineares laterais da face. Em contraste, existe relação direta entre a gravidade da apneia obstrutiva do sono e a posição inferior e posterior do osso hioide em crianças entre 7 e 10 anos.

RESUMO

In swallowing, the hyoid bone moves up and forward in response to the activation of suprahyoid muscles, opening the upper esophageal sphincter and aiding the airway protection mechanism. This displacement measure has been analyzed with ultrasound images because this method does not expose the patient to radiation, has a good cost-benefit ratio, and is safe for the patient. However, there is no consensus on the reliability of this ultrasound measure. The objective of this study was to analyze the reliability of measuring hyoid bone displacement amplitude in swallowing with ultrasound. The systematic review encompassed five databases (MEDLINE, Scopus, EMBASE, Web of Science, Cochrane Library) and gray literature. There was no limitation of language or year of publication. The search/selection/extraction methodology was conducted by two authors blindly and independently, and differences were solved by a third rater. Three studies met the eligibility criteria: two of them analyzed the reliability in non-dysphagic populations and the other, in dysphagic patients. The transducer was positioned in the submandibular region in all studies. The authors were not clear about the training time to acquire and analyze ultrasound images. The meta-analysis had an interrater reliability of 0.858 (95% CI: 0.744-0.924) and intrarater reliability of 0.968 (95% CI: 0.903-0.990). There was, however, heterogeneity of p = 0.005 for intrarater reliability. Despite good reliability, the heterogeneity reinforces the importance of training and protocol standardization for image acquisition and analysis.

RESUMO

ABSTRACT Objective To describe the patterns of displacement of the hyoid bone in healthy individuals, considering their displacements during swallowing of different consistencies. Methods Two hundred one swallowing videofluoroscopy exams of 67 adult and elderly individuals without swallowing disorders were analyzed. Descriptive analysis was performed to identify and describe the patterns of displacement of the hyoid bone. Results Seven types of displacement of the hyoid bone were found: H1 (horizontal), H2 (short vertical and long horizontal), H3 (vertical and diagonal to upper), H4 (long vertical and short horizontal), H5 (vertical), H6 (diagonal), and H7 (brief). The standards were maintained in different consistencies. The most frequent pattern of displacement was type H2. The distribution of the types of displacement of the hyoid was different among men and women. Conclusion Seven patterns of displacement of the hyoid bone during swallowing of normal adults and older people have been described. The most frequent pattern of displacement was horizontal, with variations in distribution between men and women. The displacement pattern was maintained during the swallowing of the three different consistencies (thin, pasty and solid liquid).
