Unintentional Weight Loss Does Not Predict Poor Outcomes in Zenker Diverticulum

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
In this study of 427 patients with Zenker's diverticulum, 23.6% had significant unintentional preoperative weight loss. Weight loss was associated with preoperative dysphagia and with both the smallest and largest pouches. Postoperative outcomes were similar in patients with and without weight loss, demonstrating a similar efficacy and safety profile ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

Dysphagia in Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Scoping Review

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective There are four phases of swallowing: oral preparatory, oral transit, oropharyngeal, and esophageal. Disruption of any phase(s) can lead to dysphagia. Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) children have a high rate of dysphagia compared with neurotypical peers.

Esophageal striated muscle contractions in patients with Chagas' disease and idiopathic achalasia

Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2002
Chagas' disease causes degeneration and reduction of the number of intrinsic neurons of the esophageal myenteric plexus, with consequent absent or partial lower esophageal sphincter relaxation and loss of peristalsis in the esophageal body.
