Critical Review: Evidence of the Association between Laryngopharyngeal Sensory Deficits and Risk of Aspiration
ثبت نشده
چکیده
This critical review examines the association between laryngopharyngeal (LP) sensory deficits (as determined by laryngopharyngeal sensory testing (LPST)) and risk of aspiration. Study designs include: prospective exploratory research. Overall, the literature provides evidence that LP sensory deficits and pharyngeal motor deficits are closely related and are associated with an increased risk of aspiration. Although impaired sensation alone did not appear to increase risk of aspiration for puree consistencies, it was found to significantly increase risk of aspiration of thin liquids.

Laryngopharyngeal sensory deficits as a predictor of aspiration.
OBJECTIVE This study evaluates whether patients with severe sensory deficits in the hypopharynx are at increased risk for aspiration and determines the relationship between pharyngeal muscular weakness and hypopharyngeal sensory deficits. STUDY DESIGN AND SETTING Forty patients with dysphagia who underwent flexible endoscopic evaluation of swallowing with sensory testing were prospectively di...
متن کاملRole of PH Monitoring in Laryngopharyngeal Reflux Patients with Voice Disorders
Introduction: Laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) is considered an important cause of voice disorder. We aimed to determine the frequency of LPR in patients with voice disorder and the association between Koufman Reflux Symptom Index (RSI), Reflux Finding Score (RFS), gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and proximal acid reflux in these patients. Materials and Methods: We performed a prospective...

The main purpose of this paper is analyses the short and long run relationship between budget deficit and trade deficit in some MENA countries. The data cover the period from 1971-2000 (and for I.R. IRAN 1 959-2003).The relationship between these variables will be analyses in short and long run by using Johansen cointegration tests, ECM, and Granger causality test. The empirical evidence provid...
متن کاملAssociation Between RFC1 G80A Polymorphism and Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia: a Review and Meta-Analysis of 10 Studies
Background Evidence indicates RFC1 G80A polymorphism as a risk factor for a number of cancers. Increasing studies have been conducted on the association of RFC1 G80A polymorphism with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) risk. However, the results were controversial. The aim of the present study was to derive a more precise estimation of the rel...
متن کاملPatients with gastro-oesophageal reflux disease and cough have impaired laryngopharyngeal mechanosensitivity.
BACKGROUND Laryngopharyngeal sensitivity (LPS) is important in preventing pulmonary aspiration and may be impaired by anaesthesia and stroke. It has been suggested that gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD) may also impair LPS, although the underlying mechanism is unclear. The aim of this study was to compare LPS in patients with chronic cough and GORD with healthy subjects and to determine ...
