The modified barium swallow study (MBSS) is a widely used videofluoroscopic evaluation of the functional anatomy and physiology of swallowing that permits visualization of bolus flow …

Upper esophageal sphincter (UES) dysfunction occurs when the muscles of the upper esophagus, specifically the cricopharyngeus, develop impaired relaxation. Symptoms include progressive …

The Modified Barium Swallow Study (MBSS) is an x-ray examination of swallowing used to detect the presence and type impairment, aspiration risk, and to develop intervention plans. In this …

A Modified Barium Swallow Study (MBSS) is a special x-ray that allows the Radiologist (who specializes in using x-rays) and Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) to identify why you are …

2019年9月25日 · The modified barium swallow study (MBSS), a real-time fluoroscopic motion study, is the reference standard to assess swallowing physiology involving the oropharynx and …

2019年4月3日 · Dysphagia related to dysfunction of the UES results from (1) failure of cricopharyngeal relaxation, which can be due to lack of vagal innervation or loss of the normal …

Under normal circumstances, the upper esophageal sphincter (UES) serves as an important gatekeeper, regulating antegrade and retrograde bolus movement through the upper …

This review sought to investigate the evidence for inclusion of routine esophageal visualization during the MBSS, a practice that is supported by the long-established interrelationship …

2006年5月16日 · At rest, closure of the upper esophageal sphincter (UES) is due to passive forces as well as active muscle contraction, and its relaxation requires inhibition of...

The UES represents a critical gateway for anterograde transit during deglutition and prevention of retrograde flow during gastroesophageal reflux events. Impaired function of the UES can be …
