2014, Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Clinics of North AmericaCitation Excerpt :Furthermore, video esophagography is accurate in isolating the specific stages of swallowing and the muscle groups assigned to these phases, including tongue motion and other oral aspects of swallowing. As a result, there is a marked potential to determine a precise pathophysiology and, consequently, an etiology in patients with oropharyngeal dysphagia unlikely with endoscopy in the absence of structural deformity.7 Specifically, one can isolate disorders of asymmetric weakness or nonuniform weakness reflecting selective neuropathic dysfunction as opposed to global dysfunction as a result of diffuse myopathy or neuropathy.
Effect of bolus volume on pharyngeal swallowing assessed by high-resolution manometry
2014, Physiology and BehaviorCitation Excerpt :Although no statistically significant volume effect was detected in our research, we found that as bolus volume increased, maximum hypopharyngeal pressure presented with a trend of decline, especially in water and thick liquid swallows, which was in tandem with the UES relaxation duration discussed above. We have always held the opinion that pharyngeal contraction was in cooperation with UES opening [33,34]. It is possible that prolonged UES relaxation duration is sufficient for increased bolus to pass the UES, so there is no need to increase the contraction force of pharyngeal muscles.
