Dysphagia Post Trauma is a premier book in the Clinical Dysphagia Series. The authors are world renown for their research and clinical insights into the often-challenging patterns of dysphagia caused by a variety of traumatic conditions. This book, like all the books in this series, is written with the practicing clinician in mind. Traumatic brain injury and all other traumatic injuries that influence swallowing are described. The emphasis on evaluation and treatment is described so clearly and thoroughly that a clinician can review relevant chapters and then confidently approach the bedside of even the most complicated patient. This is the one critical swallowing book for those clinicians with traumatically injured men, women, and children on their caseloads.

The past decade has seen the continued advancement of head and neck cancer care. This third edition of Head and Neck Cancer: Treatment, Rehabilitation, and Outcomes, continues in the tradition of the prior editions, providing the reader with the most up-to-date evidence relating to head and neck cancer, its management, and its rehabilitation from a multidisciplinary perspective. As in the prior editions, the content is enriched by the contributions of a large team of internationally recognized experts from both the medical and allied health communities. Beginning with an update of what is known about cancer of the head and neck, the reader is then introduced to the multidisciplinary team and the importance of the multidisciplinary approach in head and neck cancer management. Chapters then cover nonsurgical and surgical management, and the communication and swallowing management of cancers of the oral/oropharynx and larynx/hypopharynx. Other chapters guide the reader through current best practice management of lymphedema, tracheostomy, nutrition, neuromuscular disorders, as well as psychological supports and survivorship. A further six chapters are dedicated specifically to supporting the laryngectomy patient population and their complex rehabilitation needs. The final chapter presents the ever-expanding world of technology and its use in the management and delivery of head and neck cancer care. Together these chapters provide the core theoretical and clinical knowledge for healthcare professionals managing patients with head and neck cancer.
