“…The substitute for artificial saliva may be a valid treatment to relieve the subjective disorders of xerostomia, since they should contain thickeners that increase the stability of the liquid for long-lasting relief and allow a good moistening of the oral cavity. An ideal salivary substitute should be pleasantly flavoured, biocompatible, and inexpensive, and must have a favourable wetting capacity on oral surfaces [42]. In our case, aldiamed ® spray containing aloe vera helps to protect oral tissues with healing properties, antibacterial activity, and moisturizing effects [43].…”

Xerostomia is a symptom frequently present in patients with type 1 (T1DM) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). In the present trial, the activity of an artificial saliva (aldiamed® spray) in comparison to a placebo spray were used to evaluate the xerostomia and the saliva antioxidant capacity (SAT). Sixty patients of both genders with T1DM or T2DM were randomized into two groups of 30 subjects each. The experiment was a double-blind study approved by the Ethics Committee of the “G. d’Annunzio University” of Chieti and Pescara. Moreover, measurements of the stimulated saliva flow rate and the ultrasonography of the submandibular and parotid glands were performed at both the study time points. The results demonstrated statistically significant differences between the treatments in terms of the xerostomia average score. Specifically, the values were at baseline and after 30 days 2.9 ± 1.31 and 3.0 ± 1.44 and 1.4 ± 1.48 and 2.4 ± 0.99 for aldiamed® spray and the placebo, respectively. Meanwhile, no statistically significant differences were shown between the two groups for the other variables, such as the salivary flow rate, the antioxidant capacity of the saliva, and the ultrasonography of the major salivary glands.

“…Modifications produced in the salivary glands include actinic and adipose degeneration, in addition to fibrosis, with a marked decrease in salivary flow and increase in the viscosity of saliva. There are significant increases in osmolality and viscosity, andconcentrations of lactoferrin, protein, sodium and chloride [22,24].…”

“…Also alterations in various electrolytes such as calcium, potassium, sodium and phosphate occur, creating favorable conditions for the establishment and proliferation of oral microorganisms, such as mutans streptococci, Candida albicans and Lactobacillus spp. Accordingly, this makes patients more susceptible to a series of pathologies such as dysgeusia, atrophy oflingual papillae, angular cheilitis, halitosis, candidiasis, periodontal diseases and development of caries [4,5,[22][23][24].…”

In the last decades, there has been a substantial increase in the occurrence of cancer. The most commonly used treatment for this disease involves surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. These treatment modalities are associated with different kinds of side effects, acute or late. Xerostomia is one of the main oral complications that affect patients undergoing antineoplastic treatments, mainly head and neck cancer patients. It is characterized by a “dry mouth” sensation resulting from decreased salivary flow. It is persistent and affects the integrity of oral tissues, thereby significantly affecting patients’ quality of life. Many strategies have been applied and others developed to prevent and reduce xerostomia. Accordingly, the objective of this study was to review the literature about current prevention and treatment measures aimed at improving the quality of life of xerostomic patients.

“…Kleinere Studien zeigten positive Effekte auf den Speichelfluss durch Hypnose [27], Akupunktur [14][25] oder Aloe vera [22]. Auch die Anwendung von Hopfen (als Tee), frischem Ingwer (als Ingwerwasser) oder Bitterstoffen ist prinzipiell denkbar.…”

ZusammenfassungEs gibt zunehmend Evidenz, dass bei Krebspatient*innen während und nach der Krebstherapie einem zu starken Gewichtsverlust vorzubeugen ist. Welche Maßnahmen im Sinne der Sekundärprävention zu empfehlen sind, hängt stark vom Einzelfall und der vorliegenden Tumorerkrankung ab. Bei hormonabhängigen Tumoren, wie zum Beispiel Brustkrebs, ist bei adipösen Patientinnen nach erfolgter Primärtherapie eine Gewichtsreduktion sinnvoll. Unter stark belastenden Therapien und bei fortgeschrittener Tumorerkrankung hingegen sind die wichtigsten Ziele das Halten des Gewichts bzw. der Gewichtsaufbau. Gesundheitliche Beschwerden, die die Nahrungsaufnahme zusätzlich beeinträchtigen, sollten so früh wie möglich gelindert werden. Komplementärmedizinische Möglichkeiten werden anhand der Mukositis erläutert.
