Reduced Maximum Pitch Elevation Predicts Silent Aspiration of Small Liquid Volumes in Stroke Patients

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology, 2017
Background and purposePreliminary evidence has shown that reduced ability to maximally raise vocal pitch correlates with the occurrence of aspiration (i.e., airway invasion by food or liquid).

Short‐Term Outcomes and Cost Drivers of Emergency Surgery for Acute Abdominal Disease in Super‐Elderly Patients: A Study in the Japanese Tertiary Care Hospital

open access: yesAnnals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
This retrospective study analyzed patients aged ≥ 85 years undergoing emergency abdominal surgery, focusing on short‐term outcomes and inpatient cost structure under the Japanese DPC system. Although major complications occurred in 19.4% of patients, more than 70% were discharged home.

Health‐related quality of life following total minimally invasive, hybrid minimally invasive or open oesophagectomy: a population‐based cohort study

open access: yesBJS (British Journal of Surgery), EarlyView., 2020
All patients operated for oesophageal cancer in Sweden from 2013 to April 2018 were identified, and 246 patients were recruited to this population‐based nationwide Swedish study. The results show that longitudinal health‐related quality of life after minimally invasive oesophagectomy was similar to that of the open surgical approach.

Differential Contributions of Fibroblast Subpopulations to Intercellular Communication in Eosinophilic Esophagitis

open access: yesBiology
Fibroblast heterogeneity remains undefined in eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), an allergic inflammatory disorder complicated by fibrosis. We utilized publicly available single-cell RNA sequencing data (GSE201153) of EoE esophageal biopsies to identify ...

A Swallow's Terrace [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 1890
MR. A. G. VERNON HARCOURT has just shown me, in his boat-house at Cowley Grange, a specimen of swallow's architecture unlike anything I have seen or heard of. The nest, which is itself normal, is placed at the end of a small beam extending from the top of the door to the angle of the building.

The Effect of Bolus Consistency and Age on Measurements of Hyolaryngeal Muscular Activity During Swallowing

open access: yes, 2014
The objective of this study was to measure the effect of Age and Bolus Consistency on Hyolaryngeal Muscular Activity in older healthy adult males (ages 60-90) as compared to younger healthy males (ages 18-25) using Surface Electromyography (sEMG).

Clinical utility of pharyngeal high‐resolution manometry with impedance for upper esophageal sphincter dysfunction in gastroenterology

open access: yesAdvances in Digestive Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Pharyngeal high‐resolution manometry with impedance (P‐HRM‐I) is an established assessment method used to evaluate pharyngeal swallowing. It provides precise quantification of swallowing biomechanics that enable the detection of alterations in swallowing physiology.

Task-concurrent anodal tDCS modulates bilateral plasticity in the human suprahyoid motor cortex

open access: yesFrontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2015
Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a non-invasive method to modulate cortical excitability in humans. Here, we examined the effects of anodal tDCS on suprahyoid motor evoked potentials (MEP) when applied over the hemisphere with stronger ...
