Piecemeal deglutition and dysphagia limit in normal subjects and in patients with swallowing disorders.
OBJECTIVE Before the advanced evaluation of deglutition and selection of a treatment method, objective screening methods are necessary for patients with dysphagia. In this study a new electroclinical test was established to evaluate patients with dysphagia. METHODS This test is based on determining piecemeal deglutition; which is a physiological phenomenon occurring when a bolus of a large vo...
متن کاملSwallow-related cerebral cortical activity maps are not specific to deglutition.
Cortical representation of swallow-related motor tasks has not been systematically investigated. In this study, we elucidated and compared these cortical representations to those of volitional swallow using block-trial and single-trial methods. Fourteen volunteers were studied by functional magnetic resonance imaging. Cortical activation during both swallowing and swallow-related motor tasks th...
متن کاملAccuracy of the volume-viscosity swallow test for clinical screening of oropharyngeal dysphagia and aspiration.
AIMS To determine the accuracy of the bedside volume-viscosity swallow test (V-VST) for clinical screening of impaired safety and efficacy of deglutition. METHODS We studied 85 patients with dysphagia and 12 healthy subjects. Series of 5-20 mL nectar (295.02 mPa.s), liquid (21.61 mPa.s) and pudding (3682.21 mPa.s) bolus were administered during the V-VST and videofluoroscopy. Cough, fall in o...
متن کاملDisorders of Deglutition
to recall certain normal processes involved in this function. In the laryngo-pharynx the most important mechanism is the closure of the larynx. This is effected by the apposition and tilting forward of the arytenoids and the apposition of the aryepiglottic folds, while a raising of the larynx brings the arytenoids with their cornicula into contact with the cushion of the epiglottis. The contrac...

When attempting to portray the attractiveness of a brand vis-à-vis its competitors, an ad may make global claims about superiority or specific claims about one or more attributes.
