Robot-assisted enucleation of large dumbbell-shaped esophageal schwannoma: a case report.

BMC surgery
BACKGROUND: Esophageal schwannomas are extremely rare, with few cases reported in the literature. Traditionally, resection of esophageal schwannoma is typically performed using thoracotomy or video-assisted thoracic surgery. However, large, irregular...

Using Machine Learning and a Combination of Respiratory Flow, Laryngeal Motion, and Swallowing Sounds to Classify Safe and Unsafe Swallowing.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this research was to develop a swallowing assessment method to help prevent aspiration pneumonia. The method uses simple sensors to monitor swallowing function during an individual's daily life.

Pathophysiology of swallowing following oropharyngeal surgery for obstructive sleep apnea syndrome.

Neurogastroenterology and motility
BACKGROUND: Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP) and coblation channeling of the tongue (CCT) are oropharyngeal surgeries used to treat obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. The extent to which UPPP and CCT affect pharyngeal swallow has not been determined. ...

A hybrid classifier based on nonlinear-PCA and deep belief networks with applications in dysphagia diagnosis.

Computer assisted surgery (Abingdon, England)
Traditional dysphagia prescreening diagnostic methods require doctors specialists to give patients a total score based on a water swallow test scale. This method is limited by the high dimensionality of the diagnostic elements in the water swallow te...

Development of a simple and objective evaluation method for thickened liquids using funnels.

Journal of texture studies
UNLABELLED: Some patients with dysphagia are prone to aspiration of low-viscosity liquids. Thickened liquids are often used in attempts to prevent aspiration. The patients should be given thickened liquids with suitable thickness, and the thickness s...

Computational analysis of swallowing mechanics underlying impaired epiglottic inversion.

The Laryngoscope
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS: Determine swallowing mechanics associated with the first and second epiglottic movements, that is, movement to horizontal and full inversion, respectively, to provide a clinical interpretation of impaired epiglottic function.

Neural network pattern recognition of lingual-palatal pressure for automated detection of swallow.

Dysphagia
We describe a novel device and method for real-time measurement of lingual-palatal pressure and automatic identification of the oral transfer phase of deglutition. Clinical measurement of the oral transport phase of swallowing is a complicated proces...

Current Technological Advances in Dysphagia Screening: Systematic Scoping Review.

Journal of medical Internet research
BACKGROUND: Dysphagia affects more than half of older adults with dementia and is associated with a 10-fold increase in mortality. The development of accessible, objective, and reliable screening tools is crucial for early detection and management.

Swallowing Assessment using High-Resolution Cervical Auscultations and Transformer-based Neural Networks.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Swallowing assessment is a crucial task to reveal swallowing abnormalities. There are multiple modalities to analyze swallowing kinematics, such as videofluoroscopic swallow studies (VFSS), which is the gold standard method, and high-resolution cervi...
