#PHARYNGEAL CONSTRICTOR SKIN#

The goo created by That's Amore is largely composed of pure ciguatoxin, a toxic chemical found in fish that causes ciguatera fish poisoning. Range: B (goo can exist at a distance of up to 25 meters away from the user) That's Amore's goo is capable of affecting stands, as it technically counts as a stand itself. The goo in question has no texture besides being goo.

#PHARYNGEAL CONSTRICTOR SKIN#

That's Amore is a phenomenon stand with no definite form, instead manifesting as a cloud of translucent, sticky white goo that secretes itself from the user's skin and mouth.

IMRT was able to reduce the V50(Gy) of the DARS.Namesake: That's Amore, song by Dean Martin.

Dysphagia/Aspiration Related Structures (DARS) include: pharyngeal constrictor muscles, supraglottic and glottic larynx.

Prospective swallowing assessment with videofluoroscopy, endoscopy, and CT. Michigan 2004 PMID 15590174 - 'Dysphagia and aspiration after chemoradiotherapy for head-and-neck cancer: which anatomic structures are affected and can they be spared by IMRT?' (Eisbruch A, Int J Radiat Oncol Biol Phys.

Conclusion: Dose-effect between dose and swallowing complaints observed.

For each additional 10 Gy after 55 Gy, probability of dysphagia increases by 19% 70 Gy probability 40%, 50 Gy probability 20%, 22 Gy probability 2%.
