Upper GI Series: Barium Swallow01:24

Upper GI Series: Barium Swallow

1.7K
The Barium Swallow Study, or a Barium Esophagogram, is a diagnostic imaging method used to visualize the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract, including the esophagus, stomach, and small intestine. It employs barium sulfate, a radiopaque contrast material, to provide clear images of the upper digestive system, helping to identify abnormalities, diseases, or structural issues.
Purpose and Procedure
Patients undergoing this procedure ingest a liquid containing barium sulfate with a chalky...

Functional Groups

89.1K
Functional groups are a group of atoms with characteristic properties, which when linked to the carbon skeleton of a molecule, alter the properties of that molecule. For example, the presence of certain functional groups on a molecule will make them hydrophilic, whereas others will make them hydrophobic. These functional groups are an indispensable part of organic chemistry and important components of biological molecules, such as carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids. Each...

Self-Evaluation: Self-Enhancement and Self-Verification

5.8K
Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

Functionalism01:11

Functionalism

2.7K
William James, John Dewey, and Charles Sanders Peirce were instrumental in founding functional psychology, which draws heavily from Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection. This theory suggests that individual traits, including behaviors, are adapted to their environments through natural selection. At the heart of functionalism is the concept of adaptation, meaning that a trait enhances an individual's chances of survival and reproduction.
James envisioned psychology's...

Nursing Evaluation01:15

Nursing Evaluation

4.4K
The evaluation stage signals the end of the nursing process. The nurse gathers evaluative data to assess whether or not the patient has attained the expected results. Whereas the nurse collects data in the nursing assessment to identify the patient's health concerns, the evaluation stage data determines if the indicated health issues are resolved. Evaluative data collection includes two sections: the data acquired to evaluate patient outcomes and the time criteria for data collection.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Swallowing Physiology
  • Diagnostic Techniques

Background:

  • Dynamic videofluoroscopic swallow study (VFSS) is standard for assessing swallowing.
  • VFSS has limitations including prolonged radiation exposure and qualitative data.
  • A need exists for more comprehensive and quantitative swallowing analysis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and present a multi-dimensional analysis method for swallowing.
  • To utilize pulsed, low-dose fluoroscopy with serial-shot imaging.
  • To quantitatively evaluate bolus size, position, and temporal profile during swallowing.

Main Methods:

  • Fifteen healthy adults underwent fluoroscopic swallowing studies with water and contrast medium.
  • Serial-shot images were captured, inverted, synchronized, and subtracted to visualize the bolus.
  • Bolus pathway was divided into 15 segments, with gray values measured and presented as contour graphs.

Main Results:

  • Contour graphs simultaneously displayed bolus size, anatomical location, and temporal location.
  • Two distinct swallowing patterns were observed based on bolus peak locations.
  • In 9/15 subjects, hypopharyngeal and upper esophageal bolus peaks occurred in different frames; in 6/15, they were in the same frame.

Conclusions:

  • A novel quantitative method for swallowing evaluation was developed.
  • The technique provides multidimensional assessment of bolus movement across the pharynx.
  • Further research is needed to clarify swallowing pattern variability and clinical relevance.
