Predicting aspiration in patients with ischemic stroke: comparison of clinical signs and aerodynamic measures of voluntary cough.

Journal Article Chest · March 2009 BACKGROUND: Clinical signs often fail to identify stroke patients who are at increased risk of aspiration. We hypothesized that objective measure of voluntary cough would improve the accuracy of the clinical evaluation of swallow to predict those patients ... Full text Link to item Cite

Evidence-based systematic review: Oropharyngeal dysphagia behavioral treatments. Part V--applications for clinicians and researchers.

Journal Article J Rehabil Res Dev · 2009 Evidence-based practice (EBP) involves the integration of three essential principles: (1) the current best available research, (2) the clinician's experience and expertise, and (3) the patient's values and preferences. This report is the last in a series t ... Link to item Cite

Evidence-based systematic review: Oropharyngeal dysphagia behavioral treatments. Part III--impact of dysphagia treatments on populations with neurological disorders.

Journal Article J Rehabil Res Dev · 2009 This evidence-based systematic review (EBSR) is part of a series of reviews examining the state of the research regarding behavioral interventions for dysphagia. This EBSR focuses primarily on dysphagia secondary to neurological disorders (e.g., brain inju ... Link to item Cite

Evidence-based systematic review: Oropharyngeal dysphagia behavioral treatments. Part I--background and methodology.

Journal Article J Rehabil Res Dev · 2009 Evidence-based systematic reviews (EBSRs), in conjunction with clinical expertise and client values, are invaluable tools for speech-language pathologists and audiologists. This article provides an overview of the levels-of-evidence scheme used by the Amer ... Link to item Cite

Evidence-based systematic review: Oropharyngeal dysphagia behavioral treatments. Part II--impact of dysphagia treatment on normal swallow function.

Journal Article J Rehabil Res Dev · 2009 This article is the second in a series of evidence-based systematic reviews. Data reported cover the impact of dysphagia behavioral interventions on swallow physiology in healthy adults. The behavioral treatments investigated were three postural interventi ...

Evidence-based systematic review: Oropharyngeal dysphagia behavioral treatments. Part IV--impact of dysphagia treatment on individuals' postcancer treatments.

Journal Article J Rehabil Res Dev · 2009 This evidence-based systematic review (EBSR) is part of a series of reviews investigating swallowing behavioral treatments for individuals with dysphagia. This EBSR focuses primarily on individuals with dysphagia postcancer treatments. The seven behavioral ... Link to item Cite

Evaluating cough: The role of dysphagia and aspiration

Journal Article Journal of Respiratory Diseases · July 1, 2008 Cite

Cough and aspiration of food and liquids due to oral pharyngeal Dysphagia.

Journal Article Lung · 2008 Oral pharyngeal dysphagia should be included in the differential diagnosis of patients with cough. Aspiration of food and liquid below the level of the true vocal folds observed on dynamic imaging studies i.e., videofluoroscopic (VSE) and endoscopic (FEES) ... Full text Link to item Cite

Cough and aspiration of food and liquids due to oral-pharyngeal dysphagia: ACCP evidence-based clinical practice guidelines.

Journal Article Chest · January 2006 BACKGROUND: Cough may be an indicator of aspiration due to oral-pharyngeal dysphagia. METHODS: Relevant literature was identified by searching the Communication Sciences and Disorders Dome, the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, the ...

Prospective analysis of incidence and risk factors of dysphagia in spine surgery patients: comparison of anterior cervical, posterior cervical, and lumbar procedures.

Journal Article Spine (Phila Pa 1976) · July 1, 2004 STUDY DESIGN: A 3-year prospective, cohort study. OBJECTIVES: To compare the incidence and risk factors of dysphagia after anterior cervical (AC), posterior cervical (PC), and posterior lumbar (PL) spine procedures. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA: Dysphagia is ... Full text Link to item Cite

Assessment of aspiration risk in stroke patients with quantification of voluntary cough.

Journal Article Neurology · February 27, 2001 BACKGROUND: Dysphagia and subsequent aspiration are serious complications of acute stroke that may be related to an impaired cough reflex. It was hypothesized that aspirating stroke patients would have impaired objective measures of voluntary cough as comp ... Full text Link to item Cite

Racial variation in initial stroke severity.

Journal Article Stroke · March 2000 BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Blacks experience greater morbidity and mortality from stroke than do whites. The degree to which this is due to the severity of the initial stroke is not known. The objective of this study is to determine whether there is a racial ... Full text Link to item Cite

Respiratory-related evoked potential elicited by expiratory occlusion.

Journal Article J Appl Physiol (1985) · August 1999 Respiratory-related evoked potentials (RREPs) have been elicited by inspiratory loads in adults and children. The RREP was recorded over the somatosensory region of the cerebral cortex. It was hypothesized that a RREP could be recorded by using expiratory ... Full text Link to item Cite

Respiratory responses to sudden pressure venting during stop consonant production.

Journal Article Folia Phoniatr Logop · 1999 Twenty healthy adults, age range 20-55 years, participated in a study to assess the responses of the upper airway to sudden, unanticipated pressure venting during speech production. A computer was used to open or close a valve in a random fashion during on ... Full text Link to item Cite

Motor innervation of the cricopharyngeus muscle by the recurrent laryngeal nerve.

Journal Article J Appl Physiol (1985) · July 1997 Patients with recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) paresis demonstrate impaired function of laryngeal muscles and swallowing. The cricopharyngeus muscle (CPM) is a major component of the upper esophageal sphincter. It was hypothesized that the RLN innervates th ... Full text Link to item Cite
