Pharyngeal motility in patients submitted to type I thyroplasty

Brazilian Journal of Otorhinolaryngology, 2021
Introduction: Type 1 thyroplasty is performed to improve glottis closure as well as dysphagic symptoms in patients with unilateral vocal fold immobility. Objectives: This study aims to compare the motility of the pharynx and upper esophageal sphincter in

The Invalidity of the Laplace Law for Biological Vessels and of Estimating Elastic Modulus from Total Stress vs. Strain: a New Practical Method [PDF]

, 2013
The quantification of the stiffness of tubular biological structures is often obtained, both in vivo and in vitro, as the slope of total transmural hoop stress plotted against hoop strain. Total hoop stress is typically estimated using the "Laplace law."

Dysphagia Characteristics in High Versus Low Vagal Unilateral Vocal Fold Paralysis

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
High vagal etiology of unilateral vocal fold paralysis (UVFP) is linked to greater swallowing dysfunction compared to low vagal etiology of UVFP, with higher rates of premature spillage, pharyngeal residue, penetration and aspiration on instrumental swallow assessment; and higher prevalence of diet and behavioral modifications recommended.

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.

Alginate Therapy for Gastroesophageal Reflux in Pregnancy: A Scoping Review

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Alginate therapies are a promising option for managing gastroesophageal reflux (GERD), but most treatments are not recommended during pregnancy. This scoping review aimed to summarize the current outcomes research on the use of alginate therapy for treating GERD during pregnancy.

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

GERD and Upper Aerodigestive Tract Cancer Risk: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is highly prevalent, yet its association with upper aerodigestive tract (UADT) cancers beyond esophageal adenocarcinoma remains incompletely defined. This systematic review and meta‐analysis aimed to quantify the risk of specific UADT cancers in individuals with GERD.

Characteristics of Swallowing Function in People with Parkinson's Disease: A Scoping Review

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Most individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD) develop dysphagia during the course of their disease. It is crucial to comprehensively understand swallowing characteristics specific to PD for effective treatment. Objectives To systematically analyze and synthesize swallowing characteristics in people with PD compared with healthy ...

Esophageal High Pressure Zones: Effect of Perisophageal Structures on Esophageal Manometric Recording

Canadian Journal of Gastroenterology, 1994
During the course of esophageal motility studies, short zones of elevated esophageal baseline pressure are occasionally noticed. The aim of this study is to determine their frequency and their cause. Among 77 consecutive esophageal manometries (group 1),

Oestrogen and Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease Dynamics in Premenopausal and Postmenopausal Women: A Cross-sectional Study [PDF]

Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research
Introduction: Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) is a common clinical disorder characterised by the reflux of stomach contents into the oesophagus, primarily due to the temporary relaxation of the Lower Oesophageal Sphincter (LES).
