Oropharyngeal dysphagia and esophageal motor disordersRodríguez, Gil F JMartínez, Prieto CDe, Prado Serrano R
Using videofluoroscopy and manometry in this study, we examined the esophageal phase of swallowing in 12 patients with oropharyngeal dysphagia (group A) and the oropharyngeal components of swallowing in 29 patients with esophageal motor dysfunction and nonobstructive dysphagia (group B). A wide range...
Oral feed- ing difficulties become pronounced around term equivalent postmenstrual age (PMA), commonly manifesting as feed- ing-related aerodigestive symptoms, gastroesophageal reflux (GER), and oropharyngeal or esophageal dysphagia (3–6). Infant dysphagia, if not properly evaluated and managed, can ...
Dysphagia occurs temporarily or permanently following esophageal replacement in at least half of the cases. Swallowing disorder, in addition to severe decl
Abstract Organoids have been developed in the last decade as a new research tool to simulate organ cell biology and disease. Compared to traditional 2D cell lines and animal models, experimental data based on esophageal organoids are more reliable. In recent years, esophageal organoids derived fro...
The function of the esophagus is tightly regulated. After the oropharyngeal phase of swallowing, the UES relaxes and a primary esophageal motility wave is triggered, which propels the food bolus aborally toward the LES. Presence of a bolus in the distal esophagus causes relaxation of the LES to...
”40,41Ingested chemical irritants are usually concentrates that have highly acidic, alkaline, or oxidant properties. This should be suspected when esophagitis is accompanied bystomatitisand oropharyngeal ulcerations (mucositis). Examples include chlorine granules, button batteries, and undiluted quaternary...
n = 324. There was no significant correlation between the number of pharyngeal reflux episodes detected by Dx-pH and that of GERs identified by MII-pH. The proportion of oropharyngeal pH events that were temporally related to a GER episode increased with the extended pH criteria. The highest ...
In addition to such simple symptom questionnaires, a recent protocol for oropharyngeal dysphagia screening not only incorporates medical history, behavioral, and gross motor variables, but also uses observations during diagnostic testing including oromotor testing and trial swallows.22 This 28-item screenin...
Oropharyngeal dysphagia: the experience of patients with non-head and neck cancers receiving specialist palliative care. BACKGROUND: Difficulty swallowing is a well-documented symptom in head and neck cancer and oesophageal malignancy. The frequency of oropharyngeal swallowin... JWG Roe,P Leslie,MJ ...
