Evaluation of the neo-glottal closure based on the source description in esophageal voice [PDF]

, 2008
The characteristics of esophageal voice render its study by traditional acoustic means to be limited and complicate. These limitations are even stronger when working with patients lacking minimal skills to control the required technique. Nevertheless the

Differentiating Persistent and Recurrent Dysphagia in Zenker Diverticulum: A POuCH Study

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
In longitudinal follow up of 160 patients who underwent surgery for Zenker's diverticulum, 29 patients did not respond (< 50% improvement in EAT‐10 and final EAT‐10 greater than 3). Two cohorts of patients emerged: the majority (23/29), who had persistent symptoms after surgery and never improved to a new baseline, and a smaller cohort (6/29) who had ...

Impact of Frailty on Surgical Outcomes in Patients Treated for Cricopharyngeus Muscle Dysfunction

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To investigate the relationship between frailty status and surgical outcomes in patients undergoing procedures for cricopharyngeus muscle dysfunction (CPMD). Methods Retrospective chart review of all patients who underwent upper esophageal sphincter (UES) interventions at a tertiary dysphagia center.

Effect of esophageal distention on pressure and electromyographic activity of the pharyngoesophageal sphincter, with identification of the esophagopharyngeal reflex [PDF]

, 1997
Purpose: My purpose was to study the effect of balloon-produced esophageal distention on the pharyngoesophageal sphincter to shed light on the mechanism by which esophagopharyngeal reflux is prevented.

Gender effects on esophageal motility

Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 1998
It has been suggested that there are no gender effects on esophageal motility. However, in previous studies the subjects did not perform multiple swallows and the quantitative features of esophageal contractions were not evaluated.

Rapid activation of esophageal mechanoreceptors alters the pharyngeal phase of swallow: Evidence for inspiratory activity during swallow.

PLoS ONE, 2021
Swallow is a complex behavior that consists of three coordinated phases: oral, pharyngeal, and esophageal. Esophageal distension (EDist) has been shown to elicit pharyngeal swallow, but the physiologic characteristics of EDist-induced pharyngeal swallow ...

Manometry and electromyography of the upper esophageal sphincter in the opossum

Gastroenterology, 1978
Abstract Studies were performed in anesthetized and awake opossums to define the genesis of resting pressure and opening of the upper esophageal sphincter. Intraluminal pressures were measured with low compliance, perfused catheters. Electromyograms were recorded using miniature concentric bipolar electrodes from the cricopharyngeus, inferior ...

Breathe, Eat, Talk: Three Essential Ingredients to Quality‐of‐Life Outcomes in Movement Disorders

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Breathing, eating, and talking (BET) impairments are common yet frequently underrecognized features of movement disorders. Deficits in respiration, swallowing, voice, and speech may emerge early in the course of a disease, adversely affecting safety, participation, and quality of life.

Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis: Plant‐Based Therapy for Irritable Bowel Syndrome

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common disorder of brain‐gut interaction that presents with abdominal pain, bloating associated with variable stool consistency. Many IBS patients prefer plant‐based preparations to pharmacological therapy; however, the utility of this approach is not well established.

The impact of gastroesophageal reflux disease on upper esophageal sphincter function: Insights from PH impedance and high‐resolution manometry

Physiological Reports
Lower esophageal sphincter (LES) pathophysiology has been established in gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD); however, less is understood regarding the role the upper esophageal sphincter (UES) plays in preventing laryngopharynphageal reflux ...
