JOURNAL ARTICLE
Martina Scharitzer, Peter Pokieser, Olle Ekberg
Oesophageal fluoroscopy is a radiological procedure that uses dynamic recording of the swallowing process to evaluate morphology and function simultaneously, a characteristic not found in other clinical tests. It enables a comprehensive evaluation of the entire upper gastrointestinal tract, from the oropharynx to oesophagogastric bolus transport. The number of fluoroscopies of the oesophagus and the oropharynx has increased in recent decades, while the overall use of gastrointestinal fluoroscopic examinations has declined...

PURPOSE: Chiari II malformation (CM-II) is a congenital malformation of the posterior fossa associated with myelomeningocele. Of the symptomatic patients, 10-33% require surgical treatment. To this date, there is not a consensus about the best surgical technique, and whether to do duroplasty. METHODS: A literature search of the PubMed database and crossed references was performed, per PRISMA guidelines. Data regarding demographic features, extent of cervicomedullary deformity, clinical presentation, surgical techniques, and clinical outcomes were extracted...

Edentulism can generate negative impacts on self-esteem, interpersonal relationships, and oral functions. Removable prostheses are commonly used for tooth replacement, but they may cause discomfort due to micromovements during mastication. Objective and quantifiable methods are needed to evaluate these micromovements. A pilot study was conducted to determine the micromovements in removable prostheses during mastication using a 3D electromagnetic articulography (EMA-3D) system. One elderly participant wearing lower removable prostheses and an upper total well-fitting removable prosthesis was studied...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Analysis of mean nocturnal baseline impedance (MNBI) and post-reflux swallow-induced peristaltic wave index (PSPWi) have been proposed to increase the diagnostic yield of pH-impedance studies in reflux disease. However, routine use of these indices in clinical studies is yet to be established, particularly with PSPWi, which requires laborious manual analysis. Our study aimed to assess the utility of MNBI and PSPWi and their potential for future incorporation into clinical practice...

The objective of this systematic review was to determine the prevalence of dysphagia and aspiration in people with progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP). A search of six electronic databases was performed from inception to April 2022. No context restrictions were set. All primary research comprising figures to derive a prevalence rate were included. Two independent reviewers screened search results. Data were extracted by one reviewer. Conflicts were resolved by discussion with a third reviewer. The quality of included studies was assessed using the JBI Checklist for Prevalence Studies...

PURPOSE: To determine the effects of gargle phonation (GP) on self-perceived vocal improvement, vocal effort, acoustic parameters, and speech rate in patients with muscle tension dysphonia (MTD). We hypothesized that GP would improve voice, reduce phonatory effort, and alter acoustic and speech measures. STUDY DESIGN: Prospective randomized, single-blind cross-over clinical trial METHODS: Thirty-four participants (26 females, 8 males; average age 53 years) who were diagnosed with MTD completed the Voice Handicap Index-10 (VHI-10) and were assigned three study conditions: Baseline (B), GP, and Water Swallow (WS; sham), presented in one of two counterbalanced orders B-WS-GP (WS1st ) or B-GP-WS (GP1st )...

Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation to the pharyngeal motor cortex has shown beneficial effects on poststroke dysphagia. Previous studies, however, using intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS) for dysphagia have targeted the suprahyoid motor cortex. This study aimed to investigate the effects of iTBS to the pharyngeal motor cortex in patients with poststroke dysphagia, using ultrasound and videofluoroscopic swallowing studies (VFSS). A randomized controlled trial was conducted on patients with dysphagia due to a first-time unilateral stroke...

Zygomatic implants (ZI) are a valuable option for supporting an obturator prosthesis after maxillary resection. This study was performed to assess the clinical outcomes of a digitally validated guided technique for ZI placement, followed by immediate prosthetic obturation. The primary objective was to evaluate implant survival, while the secondary objective was to assess patient-reported quality of life post-rehabilitation. Twelve patients treated for head and neck cancer received a total of 36 ZI after ablative surgery...

Swallowing problems are frequent in Parkinson's disease (PD). The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of combined transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) and Conventional Dysphagia Therapy (CDT) on dysphagia in PD patients. Twenty PD patients with dysphagia were randomized into two groups: combination therapy (anodal tDCS plus CDT) and sham tDCS combined with CDT. Anodal or sham tDCS, bilaterally over the pharyngeal motor cortex, was applied with one mA during the first 20 min (real) or 30 s (sham) of CDT, which was delivered for 30 min...

Swallowing problems in children can occur for a variety of reasons, and assessment varies based on the age of the child, underlying medical problems, and results of the clinical swallow evaluation. The need for interdisciplinary management with speech language pathologists skilled in the management of children with dysphagia is imperative to identify the components of swallowing that are impaired and provide specific recommendations for safe and adequate nutrition supporting growth, development, and oral feeding if possible...

Dysphagia is a common symptom in patients with head and neck cancer that can significantly impact health outcomes and quality of life. The origin of dysphagia in these patients is often multifactorial, making diagnosis and management especially complex. The evaluating otolaryngologist should be well versed with the patient's neoplasm, comorbidities, and treatment history alongside dysphagia-specific imaging modalities. Management is often dynamic, requiring frequent monitoring, interprofessional collaboration, and a variety of supportive and invasive measures to achieve optimal outcomes...

INTRODUCTION AND IMPORTANCE: Allgrove syndrome (AS) (AAA syndrome) is a rare autosomal recessive disease caused by mutations in the AAAS gene located on chromosome 12q13. The AAAS gene encodes for the ALADIN protein (alacrima, achalasia, adrenal insufficiency, neurologic disorder). AS can manifest with a plethora of symptoms. Early recognition of the syndrome remains challenging due to its rarity and progressive nature. This report presents an unusual case of triple-A syndrome (TAS) with concurrent neuromuscular manifestations...
