Multiple phenotypes resulting from a mutagenesis screen for pharynx muscle mutations in Caenorhabditis elegans. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 We describe a novel screen to isolate pharyngeal cell morphology mutants in Caenorhabditis elegans using myo-2::GFP to rapidly identify abnormally shaped pharynxes in EMS (Ethyl Methanesulfonate) mutagenized worms. We observed over 83 C.

Maintenance of appropriate size scaling of the C. elegans pharynx by YAP-1. [PDF]
, 2023 Even slight imbalance between the growth rate of different organs can accumulate to a large deviation from their appropriate size during development. Here, we use live imaging of the pharynx of C. elegans to ask if and how organ size scaling nevertheless

Evidence for gill slits and a pharynx in Cambrian vetulicolians: implications for the early evolution of deuterostomes [PDF]
, 2012 Background Vetulicolians are a group of Cambrian metazoans whose distinctive bodyplan continues to present a major phylogenetic challenge. Thus, we see vetulicolians assigned to groups as disparate as deuterostomes and ecdysozoans.

Effects of the GABA(B) agonist baclofen on volitional swallowing in normal subjects
Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, 2023 The GABA(B) receptor agonist baclofen is known to suppress the rate of spontaneous swallowing but not pharyngeal muscle contraction. The extent to which baclofen may alter volitional swallowing is not currently known.

Diagnosis and staging of laryngopharyngeal tumours with flexible endoscopy: A prospective study
South African Journal of Oncology, 2019 Background: Many suspected laryngopharyngeal neoplasms are examination under general anaesthesia (EUA). Office-based endoscopy is already routinely performed on all patients presenting with a suspected laryngopharyngeal neoplasm.

Pharyngeal-Esophageal Malignancies with Dermatologic Paraneoplastic Syndrome
Life, 2022 Systemic changes often send signals to the skin, and certain neoplastic diseases of the internal organs can also trigger skin manifestations. In this article, the authors make clinical photography presentations of the patients seen at our clinic with ...
