A new take on measuring relative nutritional density: The feasibility of using a deep neural network to assess commercially-prepared pureed food concentrations [PDF]
, 2017 Dysphagia affects 590 million people worldwide and increases risk for malnutrition. Pureed food may reduce choking, however preparation differences impact nutrient density making quality assurance necessary. This paper is the first study to investigate the feasibility of computational pureed food nutritional density analysis using an imaging system ...

Harnessing Digital Pathology And Causal Learning To Improve Eosinophilic Esophagitis Dietary Treatment Assignment [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a chronic, food antigen-driven, allergic inflammatory condition of the esophagus associated with elevated esophageal eosinophils. EoE is a top cause of chronic dysphagia after GERD. Diagnosis of EoE relies on counting eosinophils in histological slides, a manual and time-consuming task that limits the ability to ...

Swallowing impairment in neurologic disorders : the role of videofluorographic swallowing study [PDF]
, 2018 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.

BJS (British Journal of Surgery), EarlyView., 2020 All patients operated for oesophageal cancer in Sweden from 2013 to April 2018 were identified, and 246 patients were recruited to this population‐based nationwide Swedish study. The results show that longitudinal health‐related quality of life after minimally invasive oesophagectomy was similar to that of the open surgical approach.

Dysphagia. Part 2: Dysphagia in intensive care patients
Anaesthesiology Intensive Therapy, 2020 Dysphagia is a common problem among ICU patients. The frequency of dysphagia increases with age and sometimes symptoms can be difficult to recognise. But the consequences of dysphagia can be very serious, including aspiration and subsequently aspiration

Laser augmented by brachytherapy versus laser alone in the palliation of adenocarcinoma of the oesophagus and cardia: a randomised study [PDF]
, 2002 Background: Many patients with advanced malignant dysphagia are not suitable for definitive treatment. The best option for palliation of dysphagia varies between patients. This paper looks at a simple technique for enhancing laser recanalisation.
