American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2020 Over 5 days, 120 schoolchildren from two schools in the remote Kimberley region of Australia were screened for Strep A pharyngitis. Molecular point-of-care testing identified Strep A pharyngitis in 13/18 (72.2%) symptomatic children.

Detection of Streptococcus pyogenes from Throat Swab in Acute Pharyngitis Patients
Althea Medical Journal, 2016 Background: Pharyngitis is an inflammation of throat that may be caused by viral and bacteria. Although Streptococcus pyogenes is only responsible for 5−15% of cases of pharyngitis in adults.

Modelling the human pharyngeal airway: validation of numerical simulations using in vitro experiments [PDF]
Med Biol Eng Comput (2008) epub ahead of print, 2008 In the presented study, a numerical model which predicts the flow-induced collapse within the pharyngeal airway is validated using in vitro measurements. Theoretical simplifications were considered to limit the computation time. Systematic comparisons between simulations and measurements were performed on an in vitro replica, which reflects asymmetries

Pharyngeal entomophthoromycosis
Journal of the Chinese Medical Association, 2014 We describe a rare case of entomophthoromycosis of the pharynx in a previously healthy patient, unlike other fungal infections which are seen as opportunistic infections in immunocompromised hosts. This infection is commonly seen in subtropical and tropical areas of Africa, America, and Asia.

Volatile profiling distinguishes Streptococcus pyogenes from other respiratory streptococcal species
mSphere, 2023 Sore throat is one of the most common complaints encountered in the ambulatory clinical setting. Rapid, culture-independent diagnostic techniques that do not rely on pharyngeal swabs would be highly valuable as a point-of-care strategy to guide ...

Deep learning based CT-to-CBCT deformable image registration for autosegmentation in head and neck adaptive radiation therapy [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 The purpose of this study is to develop a deep learning based method that can automatically generate segmentations on cone-beam CT (CBCT) for head and neck online adaptive radiation therapy (ART), where expert-drawn contours in planning CT (pCT) can serve as prior knowledge.

A biomechanical model of swallowing for understanding the influence of saliva and food bolus viscosity on flavour release [PDF]
Journal of Theoretical Biology 280 (2011) 180-8, 2013 After swallowing a liquid or a semi-liquid food product, a thin film responsible for the dynamic profile of aroma release coats the pharyngeal mucosa. The objective of the present article was to understand and quantify physical mechanisms explaining pharyngeal mucosa coating. An elastohydrodynamic model of swallowing was developed for Newtonian liquids

Simulations of the consequences of tongue surgery on tongue mobility: implications for speech production in post-surgery conditions [PDF]
International Journal of Medical Robotics and Computer Assisted
Surgery 3, 3 (2007) 252-261, 2007 This paper presents simulations of the impact of tongue surgery on tongue movements and on speech articulation. For this, a 3D biomechanical Finite Element (FE) model of the tongue is used. Muscles are represented within the FE structure by specific subsets of elements.
