introduction: degenerative changes of the cervical spine are more common in elderly, but anterior cervical osteophytes that cause problems in swallowing are rare. the most common cause of this problem is dish disease (diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis). trauma is also suggested as a potential cause in osteophyte formation. case report: we report a rare case of anterior cervical osteophyt...

Swallowing momentarily inhibits breathing, and normally the great majority of apnoeas which accompany a swallow are followed by expiration (xE swallows). This swallowing-breathing interaction is regarded as one of several mechanisms by which the airway is protected from aspiration during swallowing. The purpose of this study was to investigate the interaction of breathing and swallowing in two ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE We have investigated the pathophysiological mechanisms of dysphagia in Wallenberg's syndrome (WS) that are due to lateral medullary infarction (LMI). METHODS Twenty patients with WS were evaluated by means of clinical and electrophysiological methods that measured the oropharyngeal phase of voluntarily initiated swallowing. For comparison, 22 patients with unilateral he...

This longitudinal study assessed the coordination of nutritive and non-nutritive swallowing with breathing in 10 healthy term infants from birth to 1 year of age. Swallows were classified into five respiratory-phase categories: mid-inspiration (II), mid-expiration (EE), inspiratory-expiratory cusp (IE), expiratory-inspiratory cusp (EI), and mid-pause (P). Breathing-swallowing coordination diffe...

The present study aimed to investigate postoperative swallowing disorders in patients diagnosed with CM I after decompression neurosurgery. We selected 54 neurosurgery procedure for from January 2017 December 2019. evaluated the speech-language assessment (CSLSA) 24 h post-surgical extubation. CSLSA observed aspects of posture, sensitivity, tone, and extraoral intraoral mobility FAO visualizing...

Reflux laryngitis in infants may be involved not only in laryngeal disorders, but also in disorders of cardiorespiratory control through its impact on laryngeal function. Our objective was to study the effect of reflux laryngitis on non-nutritive swallowing (NNS) and NNS-breathing coordination. Two groups of six newborn lambs, randomized into laryngitis and control groups, were surgically instr...

Safe removal of tracheal cannula is a major goal in the rehabilitation of tracheostomised patients to achieve progressive independence from mechanical support and reduce the risk of respiratory complications. A tracheal cannula may also cause significant discomfort to the patient, making verbal communication difficult. Particularly when cuffed, tracheal cannula reduces the normal movement of th...

UNLABELLED The Pierre Robin sequence is characterized by micrognathia, glossoptosis and upper airway obstruction. Symptom severity varies, and this makes the treatment of these patients a true challenge. AIM to identify the presence of sleep hypopnea-apnea in patients with Pierre-Robin sequence. MATERIALS AND METHODS retrospective study in which we assessed 14 children with Pierre-Robin seq...
