Vocal tremor (VT) poses treatment challenges due to uncertain pathophysiology. VT is typically classified into two phenotypes: isolated vocal tremor (iVT) and essential tremor-related voice tremor (ET...
Eleven ETvt participants (1 Male, 10 Female; x̄ age = 74) and 8 iVT participants (1 Male, 7 Female; x̄ age = 71) swallowed 20 mL boluses in cued and uncued conditions under standardized fluoroscopic v...
Hypopharyngeal transit was faster in both VT phenotypes compared with Swallowtail™ normative reference data. Total pharyngeal transit times, however, were only faster in patients with iVT, relative to...
Subtle differences in swallowing patterns were observed across VT phenotypes, possibly related to adaptive mechanisms resulting in quicker pharyngeal bolus transit. Most patients did not report swallo...

Deglutition syncope is a form of situational syncope where patients develop presyncope or syncope during swallowing. This condition has been observed to occur most commonly in patients with prior gast...
In the present study, we performed a detailed analysis of deglutitive dynamics during sleep in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) using a methodology developed by Sato et al. We hypothesized ...
This study included 30 adult patients with OSA. To analyze deglutition dynamics during sleep, surface electromyography recordings of the suprahyoid and thyrohyoid neck muscles, which are involved in d...
By analyzing the obtained polysomnography and electromyography waveforms, we identified two deglutition patterns with and without respiratory arousal during sleep. We found a significant negative corr...
In the current study, we distinguished deglutition during sleep with and without arousal. In addition we discovered a significant negative correlation between the index of deglutition in sleep stage 1...
To review the current evidence about the usefulness and the place of pH study in the management of patients with swallowing disorders....
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) are found in approximately 30% of patients with esophageal or oropharyngeal dysphagia. Patients with suspected GERD may benefi...
GERD and LPR are prevalent causes of dysphagia. The large number of reflux patients who do not respond to empirical treatment makes important the awareness of otolaryngologists about pH-impedance moni...
Our study aimed to describe the prevalence and characteristics of gastrointestinal and eating problems in Dravet syndrome (DS) and other SCN1A-related seizure disorders and to determine the associatio...
Gastrointestinal and eating problems were assessed with a questionnaire in a Dutch cohort of participants with an SCN1A-related seizure disorder. Associations between the number of gastrointestinal an...
One hundred sixty-nine participants with an SCN1A-related seizure disorder, of whom 118 (69.8%) with DS and 51 (30.2%) with Generalized Epilepsy with Febrile Seizures Plus / Febrile Seizures (GEFS+/FS...
Gastrointestinal and eating problems are frequently reported symptoms in DS. Distinguishing between symptom categories will lead to tailored management of patients at risk, will improve early detectio...
Feeding disorders and gastrostomy use are highly prevalent in children with invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) due to both common risk factors (eg, prematurity, neurological disorders) and resultan...
Dysphagia is a common comorbidity of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). In this review article, we show that swallowing disorder can be detected at its early stage as a manifestation of bre...
The pooled incidences of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were examined by indication using the integrated clinical database of Merz-sponsored, placebo-controlled, or repeat-dose studies of i...
Dysphagia is common in intensive care unit (ICU) patients, yet it remains underrecognized and often unmanaged despite being associated with life-threatening complications, prolonged ICU stays and hosp...
To propose an expert opinion for the diagnosis and management of dysphagia developed from evidence-based clinical recommendations and practitioner insights....
A multinational group of dysphagia and critical care experts conducted a literature review using a modified ACCORD methodology. Based on a fusion of the available evidence and the panel's clinical exp...
The panel recommends adopting clinical algorithms intended to promote standardized, high-quality care that triggers timely systematic dysphagia screening, assessment, and treatment of extubated and tr...
Given the lack of robust scientific evidence, two clinical management algorithms are proposed for use by multidisciplinary teams to improve early systematic detection and effective management of dysph...
Here we report the evaluation of the frequency of subjective and objective otolaryngologic findings and therapeutic results in 32 patients with mitochondrial encephalomyopathy (MEM) from September 200...
