Investigation and management of chronic dysphagiaPaula Leslie
School of Surgical and Reproductive Sciences, University of Newcastle, Newcastle upon Tyne NE2 4HH
BMJ 326:433-6. 2003- Swallow respiratory patterns and aging: presbyphagia or dysphagia?Paula Leslie
School of Surgical and Reproductive Sciences, Faculty of Medical Sciences, University of Newcastle, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE2 4HH, United Kingdom
J Gerontol A Biol Sci Med Sci 60:391-5. 2005..Some changes might predispose an older person to dysphagic complications in the event of an insult such as a stroke. We investigated the effects of healthy aging on resting and swallow respiratory patterns... - Resting respiration in dysphagic patients following acute strokePaula Leslie
Department of Surgery, The Medical School, University of Newcastle, Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom
Dysphagia 17:208-13. 2002..The differences observed in resting respiratory rate suggest that respiratory monitoring as a useful adjunct to the clinical bedside assessment warrants further investigation... - Reliability and validity of cervical auscultation: a controlled comparison using videofluoroscopyPaula Leslie
School of Surgical and Reproductive Sciences, The Medical School, University of Newcastle, Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom
Dysphagia 19:231-40. 2004..The group consensus correctly identified 17 of the 20 clips so we may speculate that the swallow sound contains audible cues that should in principle permit reliable classification... - Swallow respiration patterns in dysphagic patients following acute strokePaula Leslie
Department of Surgery, The Medical School, University of Newcastle, Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom
Dysphagia 17:202-7. 2002..The patient group had a wide range of impairments which suggests that stroke severity is not the sole determinant of swallow respiratory changes... - Objective computer-based assessment of valleculae residue--is it useful?Jill C Dyer
Department of Speech and Language Therapy, University Hospital North Durham, North Road, Durham, DH1 5TW, UK
Dysphagia 23:7-15. 2008..We now wish to test the impact of this method where poor inter- and intrarater reliability exists... - Oropharyngeal dysphagia: the experience of patients with non-head and neck cancers receiving specialist palliative careJustin W G Roe
Speech and Language Therapy Department, Head and Neck Centre, University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, London
Palliat Med 21:567-74. 2007..Difficulty swallowing is a well-documented symptom in head and neck cancer and oesophageal malignancy. The frequency of oropharyngeal swallowing difficulties in the palliative phase of other malignancies is less reported... - Assessing penetration and aspiration: how do videofluoroscopy and fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing compare?Annette M Kelly
Head and Neck Tumour Centre, University College Hospital, London, UK
Laryngoscope 117:1723-7. 2007..We aimed to investigate whether the type of dysphagia examination (fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing [FEES] or videofluoroscopy) influences the scoring of penetration and aspiration... - Compliance with dysphagia recommendations by carers of adults with intellectual impairmentHannah Crawford
Tees, Esk and Wear Valleys NHS Trust, Freeman Hospital, Newcastle upon Tyne, UK
Dysphagia 22:326-34. 2007..Areas of noncompliance were evident, with level of dependence of clients and training of carers being key issues. Implications for practitioners are discussed... - Cervical auscultation synchronized with images from endoscopy swallow evaluationsPaula Leslie
Communication Science and Disorders, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA, USA
Dysphagia 22:290-8. 2007..More evaluation using imaging methods such as videofluoroscopy is required before this subjective technique is validated for clinical use by those assessing swallowing outside of a research context... - Adult dysphagia assessment in the UK and Ireland: are SLTs assessing the same factors?Claire Bateman
Adult Speech and Language Therapy Department, East Surrey Hospital, Redhill, Surrey, UK, and Department of Communication Science and Disorders, University of Pittsburgh, PA, USA
Dysphagia 22:174-86. 2007..Inconsistency among UK/Ireland clinicians was higher than in the comparator U.S. study. The clinical implications of these findings are discussed... - Radiation dose in videofluoroscopic swallow studiesIvan Zammit-Maempel
Department of Clinical Radiology, Freeman Hospital, High Heaton, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE7 7DN, UK
Dysphagia 22:13-5. 2007..This data set is based on the largest number of videofluoroscopy swallow studies published to date. Our results show that videofluoroscopy can be performed using minimal radiation doses... - A pilot study exploring the factors that influence the decision to have PEG feeding in patients with progressive conditionsSiobhan Vesey
Speech and Language Therapy Department, Trafford General Hospital, Davyhulme, Manchester M41 5SL, UK
Dysphagia 23:310-6. 2008..Multidisciplinary teams need to address their working practices so that they do not intimidate patients, but rather empower patients in their decision-making...
