New image analysis of large food particles can discriminate experimentally suppressed mastication [PDF]
Objective parameters that could provide a basis for food texture selection for elderly or dysphagic patients have not been established. We, therefore, aimed to develop a precise method of measuring large particles (>2 mm in diameter) in a bolus and an ...

Deglutition-Induced Atrial Tachycardia [PDF]
While bradyarrhythmia is the most common arrhythmia during deglutition, tachycardias are considered to be a very rare condition with approximately 50 cases documented worldwide. The subjects are usually men with no structural heart disease or gastrointestinal pathology, and symptoms may vary from palpitations to lightheadedness or syncope.

Effects of Chin-Down Maneuver on Pharyngeal Pressure Generation According to Dysphagia and Viscosity [PDF]
Objective To demonstrate the effects of chin-down maneuver on swallowing by using high-resolution manometry (HRM). Methods HRM data of 20 healthy subjects and 64 dysphagic patients were analyzed. Participants swallowed 5 mL of thin and honey-like liquids

Effects of Laryngeal Restriction on Pharyngeal Peristalsis and Biomechanics: Clinical Implications [PDF]
To date, rehabilitative exercises aimed at strengthening the pharyngeal muscles have not been developed due to the inability to successfully overload and fatigue these muscles during their contraction, a necessary requirement for strength training.

Swallowing impairment in neurologic disorders : the role of videofluorographic swallowing study [PDF]
Patients with neurologic diseases almost inevitably develop various degrees of swallowing disorders during their life. Dysphagia is one of the main negative prognostic factors in this class of patients, leading to severe morbidity (i.e.

Deglutition Syncope: Two Case Reports Attributed to Vagal Hyperactivity
Deglutition syncope is a relatively rare cause of syncope that belongs to the category of neurally mediated reflex syncopal syndromes. The phenomenon is related to vagal reflex in context to deglutition causing atrioventricular block and acute reduction ...
