In others, it feels like going very slowly down through the esophagus. Frequently no narrowing or stricture of esophagus is found. This is referred to as non-obstructive esophageal dysphagia Distinction from Globus Swallowing problems related to nonobstructive esophageal dysphagia are different from globus sensation (lump in throat) which is described at the end Causes 1.

The journal's purpose is to provide an international source of information to physicians and other health professionals interested in this emerging field. Its scope includes all aspects of normal and dysphagic ingestion involving the mouth, pharynx, and esophagus. Accordingly, the journal will draw on expertise from a variety of disciplines including gastroenterology, neurology otolaryngology, radiology, dentistry, rehabilitation medicine, speech pathology, nursing, dietetics, medical administration, and the basic biomedical sciences. The journal is intended to contribute to the development of this field by fostering communication between interested professionals, by setting forth existing knowledge, and by stimulating further research. Submission Of contributions. that advance the understanding of normal swallowing as well as those related to dysphagia, its diagnosis, and its clinical management, is encouraged.

Applying Food Science To Dysphagia: I. Overview of Texture Don Tymchuck, MS, President Med-Diet Laboratories, Inc. Food texture is a very important component of dysphagia. However, determining, describing and delivering the proper texture of foods and liquids has been a major source of frustration for everyone involved with the patient. The concern for proper hydration, nourishment and patient gratification must be balanced by caution over aspiration and choking. Often these latter two concerns receive the most emphasis, making hydration, nourishment and patient gratification hard to achieve. Frequently the vocabulary used to describe the desired food texture is confusing or misunderstood. And the lack of standardization of the key food texture properties makes it difficult to communicate what the patients should have compared to what they actually get. How would you convey the properties of fresh bread vs. stale bread, or of canned peaches vs. fresh ripe peaches, without having the actual foods on hand? Most of us know it when we see it, but have difficulty adequately describing it to someone else. This is the dilemma faced daily by thousands of people who deal with dysphagia. Fortunately, food science has the tools to deal with this problem. Some food scientists are trained to analyze and measure food texture. These specialists, known as food rheologists, use instruments to objectively measure the many properties of a food that contribute to its texture. For instance, viscosity can be determined using devices, called viscometers, that employ standardized and measurable forces to give reproducible read outs.

Home Health Information Voice, Speech, and Language Dysphagia On this page: What Is Dysphagia? How Do We Swallow? How Does Dysphagia Occur? What Are Some Problems Caused by Dysphagia? ... Where Can I Obtain Additional Information? What Is Dysphagia? People with dysphagia have difficulty swallowing and may also experience pain while swallowing. Some people may be completely unable to swallow or may have trouble swallowing liquids, foods, or saliva. Eating then becomes a challenge. Often, dysphagia makes it difficult to take in enough calories and fluids to nourish the body. Top How Do We Swallow? Swallowing is a complex process. Some 50 pairs of muscles and many nerves work to move food from the mouth to the stomach. This happens in three stages. First, the tongue moves the food around in the mouth for chewing. Chewing makes the food the right size to swallow and helps mix the food with saliva. Saliva softens and moistens the food to make swallowing easier. During this first stage, the tongue collects the prepared food or liquid, making it ready for swallowing. The second stage begins when the tongue pushes the food or liquid to the back of the mouth, which triggers a swallowing reflex that passes the food through the pharynx (the canal that connects the mouth with the esophagus). During this stage, the larynx (voice box) closes tightly and breathing stops to prevent food or liquid from entering the lungs.

Brochures InsideMS Keep S'myelin Sourcebook ... Web Resources (Swallowing Problems) A-Z Index Topic Index Dysphagia, or difficulty in swallowing, can occur among people with MS. While more frequent in advanced disease, it can occur at any stage. The person may choke while drinking liquids, or eating certain foods, particularly those with crumbly textures. When this happens, the food or liquids are inhaled into the trachea (windpipe) instead of going down the esophagus (gullet) and into the stomach. Once in the lungs, the inhaled food or liquids can cause pneumonia or abscesses. Because the food or drink is not reaching the stomach, a person may also be at risk for malnutrition or dehydration. Sometimes a person inhales small amounts of food or liquids without knowing it. This is called silent aspiration. Diagnosing and Treating Dysphagia Dysphagia is initially diagnosed by a careful history and neurologic examination of the tongue and swallowing muscles. Sometimes a special imaging procedure called a modified barium swallow is needed. In this test, the patient drinks or eats contrast material of different consistencies—thin liquid, thick liquid, and solid. A videofluoroscope, which can trace the path of the contrast material, is used to film the swallowing. The precise location and manner of a swallowing defect can then be identified, and treatment prescribed.
