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...

Calculation of upper esophageal sphincter restitution time from high resolution manometry data using machine learning.

Physiology & behavior
OBJECTIVE: After swallowing, the upper esophageal sphincter (UES) needs a certain amount of time to return from maximum pressure to the resting condition. Disturbances of sphincter function not only during the swallowing process but also in this phas...

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...

Functional outcomes after TORS for oropharyngeal cancer: a systematic review.

European archives of oto-rhino-laryngology : official journal of the European Federation of Oto-Rhino-Laryngological Societies (EUFOS) : affiliated with the German Society for Oto-Rhino-Laryngology - Head and Neck Surgery
Summarize functional outcomes after transoral robotic surgery (TORS) ± adjuvant therapy for oropharyngeal cancer (OPC). A systematic review was conducted. The MEDLINE database was searched (MeSH terms: TORS, pharyngeal neoplasms, oropharyngeal neopla...

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...

Towards Non-Invasive Swallowing Assessment: an AI-Powered Interface for Swallowing Kinematic Analysis using High-Resolution Cervical Auscultation.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
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...

Applying Machine Learning Algorithms for Automatic Detection of Swallowing from Sound.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Despite the severe consequences of dysfunctional swallowing, there is no simple method of monitoring swallowing outside of clinical settings. People who cannot swallow cannot eat safely, resulting in profound changes in quality of life and risk of de...

Swallowing a Surgeon: Toward Clinical Nanorobots.

Accounts of chemical research
In this Account, "a step toward clinical nanorobots" is proposed as one of the Holy Grails in chemistry, which could lead to a great leap in the field of biomedicines when accomplished. We review our preliminary contributions to this challenge by eng...
