Symptomatic dysphagia is believed to be more common in the older population; however, factors that predict age-related are less well-understood. Here, we describe a questionnaire-based survey of swallowing dysfunction large, otherwise 'healthy' community dwelling population UK whom additional cognitive and depression related scores were evaluated. A postal using Sydney oropharyngeal questionnaire was sent 800 residences North England formed part University Manchester Age Cognitive...
Post-stroke dysphagia (PSD) is present in more than 50% of acute stroke patients, increases the risk complications, particular aspiration pneumonia, malnutrition and dehydration, linked to poor outcome mortality. The aim this guideline assist all members multidisciplinary team their management patients with PSD. These guidelines were developed based on European Stroke Organisation (ESO) standard operating procedure followed Grading Recommendations, Assessment, Development Evaluation (GRADE)...
Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) provides a safe, noninvasive method for studying task-related cortical neuronal activity. Because the cerebral cortex is strongly implicated in control of human swallowing, we sought to identify its functional neuroanatomy using fMRI. In 10 healthy volunteers, swallow event-related paradigm was performed by injecting 5 ml water bolus into oral cavity every 30 s. Whole brain susceptibility[Formula: see text]-weighted spiral data were simultaneously...
Identification of the cerebral loci processing human swallowing with H 2 15 O PET activation. Lesional and electrophysiological data implicate a role for cortex in initiation modulation swallowing, yet its functional neuroanatomy remains undefined. We therefore conducted study volitional O-labeled water positron emission tomography (PET) activation imaging. Regional was investigated 8 healthy right handed male volunteers randomized 12-scan paradigm rest swallows (5 ml/bolus, continuous...
Somatic sensation can be localized precisely, whereas localization of visceral is vague, possibly reflecting differences in the pattern somatic and input to cerebral cortex. We used functional magnetic resonance imaging study cortical processing arising from proximal (somatic) distal (visceral) esophagus six healthy male subjects. Esophageal stimulation was performed by phasic distension a 2 cm balloon at 0.5 Hz. For each esophageal region, five separate 30 sec periods nonpainful were...
Dysphagia is common after stroke, associated with increased death and dependency, treatment options are limited. Pharyngeal electric stimulation (PES) a novel for poststroke dysphagia that has shown promise in 3 pilot randomized controlled trials.We randomly assigned 162 patients recent ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke dysphagia, defined as penetration aspiration score (PAS) of ≥3 on video fluoroscopy, to PES sham given consecutive days. The primary outcome was swallowing safety, assessed...
Dysphagia has been reported in up to 70% of patients with stroke, predisposing them aspiration and pneumonia. Despite this, the mechanism for remains unclear.To determine relationship between bolus flow laryngeal closure during swallowing stroke examine sensorimotor mechanisms leading aspiration.Measures were taken from digital videofluoroscopic images 90 50 healthy adults, after repeated volitional swallows controlled volumes thin liquid. Aspiration was assessed using a validated...
