Dysphagia may be a further common complaint. Constipation with or without other features of voiding dysfunction is usually the earliest sign of gastrointestinal involvement, which tends to manifest with multiple, sometimes severely disabling symptoms at any age. The ...
Methods The 12-item "yes/no" EDSQ assesses dysphagia symptoms, with a total score being the sum of all "yes" responses. Each item was determined by consensus of three physiatrists after reviewing the previous dysphagia questionnaires. Participants were aged 65 years or older who either ...
We present a case of newly diagnosed EGJOO in a patient with long standing gastroesophageal reflux disease who presented with dysphagia. Evaluation identified endoscopically normal mucosa and a diagnosis of esophagogastric junction outflow obstruction on high resolution impedance manometry. A month later...
High lesion level was associated with dysphagia. The absence of a covering membrane was asso- ciated with scoliosis and high-risk bladder dysfunction [28]. If the diagnosis is at less than 22–24 weeks of gestation, the opportunity of pregnancy termination can be offered to the parents. ...
Introduction The Edinburgh Dysphagia Score (EDS) is an effective screening tool to prioritise 'urgent suspicion of cancer'/'2-week wait' endoscopy in those with a high risk of oesophageal cancer, and downgrade in those with a low EDS (<3.5). Using a dysphagia nurse-led telephone clinic ...

Historically, both GCA and SCC in these areas were referred to as esophageal cancer (EC) by the public because of the common syndrome of dysphagia. In Western countries, Barrett's esophagus is very common and has been considered as an important precancerous lesion of adenocarcinoma at EGJ. ...
Patients suffer from dysphagia and many are tube-feed dependent. Cervical esophageal reconstruction is challenging for the plastic surgeon, and although there are reports utilizing chest wall flaps or even free flaps, the use of a sternocleidomastoid (SCM) myocutaneous flap provides an ideal ...
