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...
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...
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.
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...
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS: To evaluate the safety and feasibility of the da Vinci Surgical System in transoral robotic-assisted surgery for benign indications.
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 is a pivotal physiological function for human sustenance and hydration. Dysfunctions, termed dysphagia, necessitate prompt and precise diagnosis. Videofluoroscopic swallowing studies (VFSS) remain the gold standard for swallowing assessmen...
Dysphagia management, from screening procedures to diagnostic methods and therapeutic approaches, is about to change dramatically. This change is prompted not solely by great discoveries in medicine or physiology, but by advances in electronics and d...
BACKGROUND: Cerebral palsy may be associated with comorbidities such as undernutrition, impaired growth and gastrointestinal symptoms. Children with cerebral palsy exhibit eating problems due to the effect on the anatomical and functional structures ...
