Longitudinal Swallowing and Salivary Changes With CLR 131 and Re‐Irradiation in Recurrent Head and Neck Cancer

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Patients with recurrent head and neck cancer (HNC) often present with severe, persistent dysphagia and xerostomia following prior chemoradiation. Although swallowing impairments and salivary dysfunction have been reported in this population, prior longitudinal studies have not examined changes in salivary composition or how these ...

Treatment With the Shaker Head‐Lift Exercise in Head and Neck Cancer Patients With Radiation‐Induced Dysphagia: 12‐Month Results on Swallowing Function From a Randomized, Controlled Trial

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Dysphagia is a common side‐effect after radiotherapy in head and neck cancer patients. This randomized study aimed to evaluate the effect of the shaker head‐lift exercise (HLE) after 12 months with flexible endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES). Methods Patients were randomly assigned to the intervention (n = 30) or the control

The Action of a Carminative on the Lower Esophageal Sphincter

Gastroenterology, 1969
The effect of essence of peppermint on the lower esophageal sphincter was studied manometrically in 27 subjects. In 25 subjects, within 1 to 7 min following the introduction of the peppermint, a decrease in intrasphincteric pressure was noted. When intrasphincteric pressure approximated intragastric pressure, there was an increase in intraesophageal ...

Esophageal motility disorders in symptomatic patients and its relation to age

BMC Gastroenterology, 2023
Background Although swallowing disorders can impact individuals of any age, some are unique to the elderly, and others are frequent. Some disorders, such as achalasia, are diagnosed by esophageal manometry studies, which assess lower esophageal sphincter

Quantitation of Lower Esophageal Sphincter Competence

Gastroenterology, 1967
Summary Normal subjects and patients with incompetent gastroesophageal sphincters have been studied by open-tipped catheter techniques. The two groups could not be separated on the basis of pressures measured by conventional methods. The best explanation for this failure is that the sphincters sealed the recording orifice.
