    Extractions: Innledning Oral-faryngal dysfagi er en vanlig følgesykdom til mange ulike akutte og kroniske sykdommer, blant annet cerebrovaskulær sykdom(16), traumatisk hjerneskade(9), oral-faryngal carcinom(2) og et mangfold av degenererende neuromuskulære sykdommer(5). Svelgevansker kan føre til vesentlige forsinkelser i rekonvalesensen, feilernæring, dehydrering(14), lungekomplikasjoner som kan føre til lungebetennelse og fare for død(3). Vanlige problemer omfatter muskulatursvakhet i lepper, munn, tunge, gane, svelg og spiserør, dårlig bevegelseskoordinering, kirurgisk fjerning av vev og redusert følelse i munnhulen og svelget, som fører til forsinket stimulering av svelgingen(11). I løpet av de siste 5-10 årene har det vært en vesentlig bevegelse mot rehabiliterende behandling av dysfagi. Behandling av dysfagi brukes både for å kompensere for oral-faryngale svelgeproblemer og for å endre fysiologien i svelget ved hjelp av muskeltrening. Dermed oppnås en langtidsvirkende forbedring av svelgingen(11). Mange av de kjente behandlingsstrategiene krever at pasienten omgjør en tidligere automatisk fysiologisk funksjon til en viljestyrt motorisk respons. For mange pasienter, både med og uten assosierte kognitive problemer, er det en utfordring å innfinne seg med at svelgeatferden skal endres. Det er liten kognitiv bevissthet om hvordan et svelg utføres. Dette betyr at svelgeterapeuten ofte møtes med forvirring, frustrasjon og manglende evne fra pasientens side til å samarbeide om egen behandling.

    Extractions: Swallowing Problems (Dysphagia) How We Swallow The process of swallowing occurs in four stages: What Causes Swallowing Problems? Interruptions in this process can cause difficulty in swallowing, or dysphagia. A number of conditions may cause dysphagia, including mechanical obstruction (such as by a tumor or stricture), a motility disorder, impairment of the upper or lower esophageal sphincter, and others. Dysphagia is common among all age groups, but is especially common among the elderly. Swallowing problems may arise from simple causes such as poor teeth, ill fitting dentures, or a common cold. One of the most common causes of dysphagia is gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), which occurs when stomach acid moves up the esophagus to the pharynx, causing discomfort. Other causes may include stroke or progressive neurological disorders, which may impair sensitivity, muscular coordination, or render individuals unable to control or move the tongue. The presence of a tracheostomy tube, vocal cord paralysis, tumors in the mouth, throat, esophagus, or surgery in the head, neck, or esophageal areas may also contribute to swallowing impairments.

Sometimes, horses have trouble eating. This is a condition called dysphagia, which literally means "difficulty in swallowing", but it is commonly used to describe a general difficulty in eating. There are many reasons why a horse could have dysphagia. There may be a physical problem with getting food into the mouth – for example, instability of the mandible or jaw. Sometimes horses snag their lower jaw in a stable door catch, panic and then pull back, resulting in a fracture of the lower jaw – a readily apparent reason for dysphagia.

    Extractions: Dysphagia is another term for swallowing problems. A person who has dysphagia may experience pain when trying to swallow. Others may have difficulty swallowing food, liquid or saliva, and some people may be unable to swallow at all. How does the swallowing process work? Swallowing is a complex process that moves food and liquids from the mouth to the stomach. Swallowing involves the use of many nerves and muscles in the lips, tongue, mouth, throat, and esophagus, which is the tube that connects your throat to your stomach.

    Extractions: What is dysphagia? Dysphagia is a term that means "difficulty swallowing." It is the inability of food or liquids to pass easily from the mouth, into the throat, and down into the esophagus to the stomach during the process of swallowing. What causes dysphagia? To understand dysphagia, we must first understand how we swallow. Swallowing involves three stages. These three stages are controlled by nerves that connect the digestive tract to the brain: oral preparation stage Food is chewed and moistened by saliva. The tongue pushes food and liquids to the back of the mouth towards the throat. (This phase is voluntary: we have control over chewing and beginning to swallow.) pharyngeal stage Food enters the pharynx (throat). A flap called the epiglottis closes off the passage to the windpipe so food cannot get into the lungs. The muscles in the throat relax. Food and liquid are quickly passed down the pharynx (throat) into the esophagus. The epiglottis opens again so we can breathe. (This phase starts under voluntary control, but then becomes an involuntary phase that we cannot consciously control.) esophageal stage Liquids fall through the esophagus into the stomach by gravity. Muscles in the esophagus push food toward the stomach in wave-like movements known as peristalsis. A muscular band between the end of the esophagus and the upper portion of the esophagus (known as the lower esophageal sphincter) relaxes in response to swallowing, allowing food and liquids to enter the stomach. (The events in this phase are involuntary.)

People with dysphagia may be required to eat foods of altered texture, such as soft/moist, chopped, or pureed foods; or liquids might be required to be thickened to allow slower transit. A variety of medical difficulties can cause dysphagia, including stroke, degenerative neurological diseases (e.g., Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease), reflux disease, and esophageal achalasia . One of the most serious possible complications from dysphagia is aspiration pneumonia, caused by the ingestion of liquids or foods in to the lungs.

    Extractions: The Palliation of Dysphagia in Oesophageal Malignant Obstructions using Endoprostheses: A Review of the Literature. Helen Tate, RGN. Advanced Diploma Health Science Student. University of Northumbria, Newcastle upon Tyne. Abstract Introduction Methods Insertion ... References Abstract. Malignant oesophageal obstruction due to intrinsic oesophageal tumours or from extrinsic compression caused by medistinal tumours is not a curative condition for the majority of patients. Dysphagia, or the inability to swallow, is one of the most distressing and debilitating symptoms connected with this disease. The rapid palliation of oesophageal carcinoma consists of the use of stenting to try and provide relief of the dysphagia. This article reviews some of the existing literature regarding the use of endoprostheses to effectively alleviate this problem. Key words: oesophageal carcinoma; dysphagia; endoprosthesis; rigid plastic stents; self-expanding metal stents; palliation. Introduction. Carcinoma of the oesophagus is the seventh most common malignancy in the world, although it is still relatively uncommon in Britain with a mean incidence of 7.5 per 100,000 of the population (Muller, Erasmi, Stelzner 1990) The management of this condition however is difficult, as 50-60% of patients diagnosed with oesophageal malignancies are suitable only for palliative treatments. Palliation of oesophageal carcinoma consists mainly of the symptomatic treatment of dysphagia. Without treatment these patients have a poor quality of life, suffer from rapid weight loss and experience a relatively quick and unpleasant death from total dysphagia and aspiration of their own saliva. The aim is therefore the relief of dysphagia with minimal morbidity and maximum quality of life. The quality of life, not quantity is deemed more desirable (Ellul, Watkinson, Khan, Adam, Mason 1995)

    Extractions: If you've ever gulped a cup of coffee while simultaneously searching for car keys, packing lunch for a 5-year-old and giving directions over the phone, you probably didn't notice that a miracle was occurring literally underneath your nose. "Dysphagia may be the first sign that a neuromuscular disease is present." Swallowing is a seemingly simple but extraordinary act, one we usually take for granted at least until something goes wrong with the process. Dysphagia which isn't a disease in itself but the medical term for a disruption to the normal swallowing process can lead to a number of serious effects, some gradual and some that are immediately life- threatening. Various diseases in the muscular dystrophy family have been known to cause dysphagia, including the oculopharyngeal (OPMD), myotonic (MMD), facioscapulohumeral (FSHD) and limb-girdle (LGMD) forms and possibly Duchenne (DMD) in its later stages. Dysphagia is a common feature of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and occurs in some of the spinal muscular atrophies as well as in polymyositis, myasthenia gravis and Friedreich's ataxia.

    Extractions: Functional Dysphagia Adapted from IFFGD's Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders Education Program Guide , Chapter Five: "Functional Esophageal Disorders." By: Joel Richter, M.D., Chair, Department of Gastroenterology, Professor of Internal Medicine, The Cleveland Clinic Foundation, Ohio Functional esophageal disorders represent a combination of chronic or recurrent symptoms affecting the esophagus. They are not attributable to an underlying anatomic problem or significant motility disorder. They are termed as "functional" disorders because no inflammatory, infectious, or structural abnormality is observed by examination, x-ray, or laboratory test. Functional esophageal disorders are not attributable to an underlying anatomic problem or significant motility disorder. Functional dysphagia is the sensation of solid and/or liquid foods sticking, lodging, or passing abnormally through the esophagus. It is diagnosed based on symptoms present for at least three months and not associated with anatomic abnormalities, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), or well recognized motility disorders such as achalasia [difficulty swallowing due to an absence of peristaltic contractions in the esophagus]. Prevalence of functional dysphagia is unknown and generally it has been poorly studied. The disorder is usually accompanied by other symptoms of esophageal dysfunction including chest pain, heartburn, and regurgitation.
