Deglutition in Myasthenia Gravis

The British Journal of Radiology, 1962
As dysphagia is such a frequent symptom in myasthenia gravis and in other conditions which may simulate it, examination of the patient's deglutition is very desirable. Cinefluorography using image intensification provides the most satisfactory way of doing this and recording the abnormalities.

An electrophysiological investigation of deglutition in man

Muscle & Nerve, 1995
AbstractThis article describes a combined electrophysiological and mechanical method used to measure laryngeal movements and related submental EMG activity during swallowing. The mechanical upward and downward movements of the larynx were detected using a piezoelectric sensor while the submental integrated EMG (SM‐EMG) was recorded.

Oropharyngeal Deglutition in Stable COPD

Chest, 2002
The aim of this study was to examine deglutition in stable patients with COPD and lung hyperinflation.Twenty consecutive, eligible COPD patients with an FEV(1) < or = 65% of predicted and a total lung capacity > or = 120% of predicted were enrolled prospectively.Patients received a detailed videofluoroscopic evaluation of oropharyngeal swallowing and ...

Proprioception in the muscles of deglutition

Neuroscience Translations, 1969
Receptor activity of the muscles of deglutition was recorded in cats. Discharges of afferent impulses were recorded in the peripheral ends of divided nerves to the geniohyoid, mylohyoid, sternohyoid, thyrohyoid and pharyngeal constrictor muscles. The number of receptors in the muscle (active at rest and during stretching) is small, between 1 and 3; in ...

Neurolaryngological Disorders and Deglutition

2017
Dysphagia and dysphonia are commonly associated with neuromuscular disorders. The symptoms and complications arise from the sensorimotor dysfunction of the oral and pharyngeal phases of swallowing. These symptoms may be unapparent due to compensation strategies, absent sensory cough reflex, or altered cognition. The risks of dysphagia are malnutrition,

Physiological substrates of normal deglutition

Dysphagia, 1988
An understanding of swallowing disorders rests mostly on a knowledge of the normal physiology of deglutition. This paper reviews current concepts of the processes involved in deglutition and summarizes quantitative data on the physiological events that form a normal swallow.

A Cineradiographic Investigation of Pharyngeal Deglutition

The British Journal of Radiology, 1957
An account is given of pharyngeal deglutition based upon a cineradiographic study of 100 normal subjects. Swallowing is described as a sequence of co-ordinated movements bearing on the bolus during its progress.

Effect of body position on deglutition

Digestive Diseases and Sciences, 1994
This study examined the effects of changes in body position on different swallowing parameters derived from manofluorographic examinations. Quantitative data were obtained in a group of 12 young healthy volunteers. They were all tested in the upright position; six of them were also evaluated in the supine position, and the other six in the upside down ...

Cerebral Cortical Control of Deglutition

2012
The human swallowing musculature is coordinated centrally through a multidimensional hierarchy of deglutative centres both in the cerebral cortex and brain stem. The cortex has an important role in initiation of the volitional swallow and has a role in all three phases of deglutition.
