  2. 1. Therapeutic aspects of oral and pharyngeal swallowing dysfunction. Videoradiographic and videomanometric analyses of adult healthy volunteers and dysphagic patients

    Author : Margareta Bülow; Malmö Diagnostisk radiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; medical instrumentation; tomography; radiology; Clinical physics; Therapy; Videoradiography; Videomanometry; Dysphagia; Dysfunction; Swallowing; Klinisk fysiologi; radiologi; tomografi; medicinsk instrumentering;

    Abstract : In this study simultaneous videoradiography and intraluminal manometry (videomanometry) have been used in combination in three studies to analyze how different therapeutic strategies affect the physiology of swallowing in healthy volunteers and in patients with pharyngeal dysfunction. Analyses of healthy volunteers showed few significant measurable effects on the pharyngeal swallow. READ MORE

  4. 2. Gastroesephageal reflux and related motility disorders after esophageal atresia : a clinical study

    Author : Madeleine Montgomery; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Esophageal atresia; tracheoesophageal fistula; gastroesophageal reflux; esophageal pH monitoring; respiratory function; gastric emptying; videomanometry STOCKHOLM 1997;

    Abstract : The most common congenital malformation of the esophagus is esophageal atresia (EA) with or without tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF). Successful repair of EA does not ensure normal esophageal function. Disturbed esophageal motility and gastroesophageal reflux (GER) are often detected after repair of EA. READ MORE

  5. 3. Timing of respiration and swallowing events during deglutition

    Author : Katarina Bodén; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background: Dysphagia is a common symptom that can be due to disease, but can also occur without a known cause. Today, we know that the coordination of swallowing and respiration is essential for a safe swallow. Swallowing consists of several subsecond events. To study these events, it’s important to use modalities with high temporal resolution. READ MORE

  6. 4. Pharyngeal function, airway protection and anesthetic agents

    Author : Eva Sundman; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Aspiration; postoperative pulmonary complications; hypoxia; sedation.;

    Abstract : Anesthesia related complications occur most frequently in the immediate postoperative period. The three most common conditions associated with such events are ventilatory failure, airway obstruction and aspiration. The pharynx is essential for respiration and protection of the upper airway.
