Summary
An error in a spreadsheet tool used for hyoid bone and larynx measurements on videofluoroscopic images has been corrected. This erratum revises the original findings for the X and Y measurement planes.
Area of Science:
- Medical imaging analysis
- Swallowing disorders research
Context:
- Analysis of videofluoroscopic images is crucial for diagnosing dysphagia.
- Previous studies relied on open-source tools for quantitative measurements.
- Accurate anatomical landmark identification is essential for clinical interpretation.
Purpose:
- To correct a mathematical error in a previously published manuscript.
- To provide accurate hyoid bone and larynx positional data.
- To rectify interpretations based on flawed measurements.
Summary:
- A previously used open-source spreadsheet tool contained a mathematical error in its formula.
- This error caused a reversal of results in the X and Y measurement planes for hyoid/larynx position.
- This erratum corrects the data and reinterprets the findings of the original study.
Impact:
- Ensures the accuracy of research data in dysphagia studies.
- Prevents misinterpretation of swallowing function based on incorrect measurements.
- Maintains the integrity of scientific literature within the field of swallowing disorders.

01:24Physical Assessment of the Respiratory Tract II: Palpation
1.3K
Physical assessment of the respiratory tract is critical in identifying potential health issues. One key component of this assessment is palpation, a technique healthcare providers use to assess the body for abnormalities. This content explores the method of palpation in evaluating the respiratory tract, focusing on thoracic palpation and tactile fremitus.
Thoracic Palpation
Thoracic palpation detects tenderness, masses, lesions, respiratory excursions, and vocal fremitus. The nurse assesses...

01:25Suctioning the Oropharyngeal Airway
605
In preparing for oropharyngeal airway suctioning, a nurse must gather all necessary equipment, including a suction unit with tubing, a prepackaged suction kit, sterile gloves, water or saline for irrigation, a water-soluble lubricant, and additional personal protective equipment (such as a gown, mask, and goggles) to control infections.
After assembling the equipment, the nurse should practice hand hygiene and don appropriate PPE according to infection control guidelines to avoid the...

381
Endoscopy is a non-surgical medical technique used to examine a person's internal organs and vessels. This lesson will focus on two types of endoscopic studies: bronchoscopy and thoracoscopy.
Bronchoscopy
Description
Bronchoscopy is a procedure that involves direct visualization of the larynx, trachea, and bronchi for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. A flexible fiber optic or rigid bronchoscope is used to carry out the procedure. The fiber-optic bronchoscope is more frequently used due...

506
Capsule endoscopy, or wireless or video capsule endoscopy, is a diagnostic procedure for examining the entire gastrointestinal tract. Patients swallow a capsule about the size of a vitamin tablet. The capsule is equipped with a transmitter, a battery, an LED light source, and a color video camera to capture images throughout the gastrointestinal tract. This procedure is particularly useful for diagnosing conditions such as Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, tumors, polyps, ulcers,...

Nasopharyngeal suctioning is a procedure to remove secretions from the upper part of the respiratory tract that the patient cannot clear independently. It helps maintain airway patency and prevents complications such as aspiration pneumonia.

01:26Assessment of the Mouth
819
A thorough mouth assessment, including inspection and palpation of the lips, gums, tongue, tonsils, uvula, and pharynx, is crucial in detecting potential health issues. Diseases ranging from oral cancer to systemic conditions like diabetes could be identified early through careful oral examination. This article provides a detailed guide on conducting a comprehensive mouth assessment.
Mouth Inspection
The inspection begins with visually examining the mouth for symmetry, color, and size.
