    Extractions: TM Dysphagia means difficulty swallowing. It is often associated with disorders that cause a blockage or motor difficulty in the esophagus. The esophagus is the natural tube in the body that food travels down to enter the stomach. Some people with dysphagia have difficulty swallowing foods, but can swallow liquids. These individuals typically have an esophagus tumor (tissue that grow more rapidly than normal) or a condition known as lower esophageal ring. Lower esophageal ring is a ring of tissue located at the area where the esophagus and the stomach connect. Both tumors and lower esophageal ring can cause blockages, making it hard for food to travel down the esophagus. Other people with dysphagia have difficulty swallowing both food and liquids. These individuals tend to have motor disorders, such as achalasia. Achalasia is an abnormal condition in which the muscle does not relax. Achalasia tends to occur in the lower part of the esophagus. Diagnosis of dysphagia is made through evaluating the patient's symptoms , observing for outward signs of swallowing difficulty, and a barium swallow study. A barium swallow study is a technique in which a patient swallows a substance containing the metallic chemical, barium sulfate. After the patient swallows the substance containing barium sulfate, a series of x-rays are taken. The barium sulfate assists doctors in visualizing the resulting picture from the X-ray better. This test will help the doctor detect abnormalities in the esophagus and in certain areas of the heart.

    Extractions: Member, Caring's Editorial Board About This Series: Over the years, certain practices have become common in nursing home care nationwide. Consultants, management, and surveyors offer multiple opinions and conflicting advice that may confuse staff and practitioners. Various sources (for example, CMS' QIO Project; see the January 2003 issue of Caring are advising nursing home staff to refer to "best practices." Yet only some of these practices reflect reliable evidence. Other habitual approaches are problematic and should change. Often, "best practices" is erroneously interpreted to mean that there is a single best treatment, when in reality there may be "better" and "worse" practices. This series will review common practices in nursing homes, comparing habitual to desired approaches, and may recommend important changes. This month's column addresses the issue of dysphagia and swallowing studies.

What is this radiological investigation? 2. What diagnostic features does it show? This is a barium swallow showing the typical 'rat tail' appearance of achalasia of the cardia. Achalasia of the cardia is a functional failure of relaxation of the lower oesophageal sphincter. Histological examination shows degeneration of the ganglion cells in the myenteric plexus and changes within the Vagus nerves. Lymphocytic infiltration is often seen with fibrosis occurring in chromic cases. The aetiology is unknown although infection with a neurotropic virus affecting the autonomic nervous system has been suggested. Chagas' disease due to infection with Trypanosoma cruzi, seen in South America, results in damage to the myenteric plexus and causing similar oesophageal appearances. Achalasia is a disease of middle age with equal preponderance in either sex. The commonest clinical presentation is with insidious onset of dysphagia with patients often having symptoms for several years before seeking medical advice. This is in contrast to the symptoms of oesophageal cancer where the symptoms progress over weeks and months. Dysphagia occurs with both solids and fluids often helping in differentiating it from mechanical obstruction where symptoms occur with solids before fluids. Other presenting symptoms include weight loss, regurgitation and chest complaints, particularly nocturnal cough and wheeze. Approximately 10% of patients develop the more serious respiratory complications of aspiration pneumonia, lung abscess and bronchiectasis. About 5% of patients with long standing disease develop squamous carcinoma of the oesophagus. This is thought to result from prolonged exposure to carcinogens in food.

    Extractions: Dr D Petrunia, Dr E Semlacher and Dr V Sharma Dr N Diamant, Dr N Marcon and Dr W Paterson CAG Governing Board DEFINITION D ysphagia may be defined as difficulty in swallowing. Dysphagia may be classified as oropharyngeal or esophageal; oropharyngeal dysphagia arises from a structural or functional abnormality in the oropharynx, and esophageal dysphagia occurs as a result of structural or functional abnormalities in the esophagus. PHYSIOLOGY OF SWALLOWING Normal swallowing is accomplished by a complex series of interconnected events. After mechanical crushing of a food bolus in the mouth, the tongue forces the food bolus to the posterior oropharynx. The upper esophageal sphincter relaxes, allowing the food bolus to enter the proximal esophagus. The food bolus is then propelled down the esophagus by peristaltic contraction. As the food bolus reaches the lower esophageal sphincter, the sphincter relaxes to allow the food to progress into the stomach. OROPHARYNGEAL DYSPHAGIA Patients with oropharyngeal dysphagia typically describe difficulty in initiating swallowing. Frequently this may be associated with regurgitation or symptoms of aspiration. Change in speech is often associated. All of these latter features suggest neuromuscular degeneration, particularly when the symptoms are progressive. Other neurological manifestations should be sought.

    Extractions: Dysphagia Dysphagia is difficulty in swallowing. It is a symptom, not a disease. Diseases of the mouth, throat or esophagus can cause the condition. Seven to 10% of Americans older than 50 suffer from some form of dysphagia. However, it can occur at any age. Dysphagia occurs when food fails to move from the mouth to the stomach. This happens when the mouth, throat or esophagus does not work right. A narrowed pathway can also be a cause. Oropharyngeal dysphagia occurs when the swallowing problem comes from the mouth or throat. This may be caused by nerve diseases such as polio, ALS or stroke and muscle diseases. Abnormal growths of the throat or neck can also cause the problem. Esophageal dysphagia occurs when the swallowing problem comes from the esophagus. Scleroderma, muscle diseases and nerve diseases cause esophageal dysphagia. Narrowing of the esophagus by a scar or abnormal growths is also a cause. Symptoms Signs of oropharyngeal dysphagia include: Choking or coughing when swallowing Repeatedly having food caught in the throat Drooling Vomiting liquids through the nose Frequent clearing of the throat Lengthy chewing or repeated swallowing Difficulty or discomfort when swallowing Difficulty breathing when eating Inability to swallow Unusual head or neck movement during swallowing Avoiding eating with others Loss of appetite, dehydration or weight loss

    Extractions: Dysphagia, or swallowing disorders, can be caused by a variety of medical conditions, such as neurological disorders, head and neck cancer, or traumatic brain injury. As a result of dysphagia, patients may have difficulty eating food, drinking, or even with managing their secretions. These problems can occur gradually or all of a sudden, and may vary in level of severity. In more severe cases, aspiration occurs, which means that the food or liquid will go down the air tube (trachea) as opposed to the food tube (esophageous). The normal swallowing sequence The process of swallowing involves the interaction of more than 20 muscles and several nerves. Swallowing is broken down into four phases: the oral prepartory phase (chewing and preparing to swallow), the oral phase (moving the food/liquid to the back of the mouth with the tongue), the pharyngeal phase (moving the food over the back of the tongue and down the pharnx or throat), and the esophageal phase (the food enters the esophagus). This entire process is completed within a few seconds. However, when impairment arises in any part of this seemingly effortless process, a wide variety of difficulties ranging from minimal discomfort to life threatening illness such as malnutrition or respiratory infection may occur.
