Endoscopic Procedures I: Esophagogastroduodenoscopy

Endoscopic Procedures I: Esophagogastroduodenoscopy

An Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) is a diagnostic procedure in which an endoscopist uses a flexible, lighted endoscope to visualize the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The procedure includes visualizing the oropharynx, esophagus, stomach, and the first part of the small intestine, the duodenum.
During an EGD, the endoscope can be used to:

Upper GI Series: Barium Swallow

Upper GI Series: Barium Swallow

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...

Endoscopic Procedures V: ERCP

Endoscopic Procedures V: ERCP

Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a diagnostic procedure that combines endoscopy and fluoroscopy to diagnose and treat conditions related to the bile ducts, pancreatic ducts, and gallbladder. This procedure is beneficial for identifying and addressing blockages, gallstones, strictures, and tumors within the biliary or pancreatic systems. ERCP is both diagnostic and therapeutic, offering the ability to visualize and treat identified problems in one session.

Barrett Esophagus-II: Clinical Manifestations and Management

Barrett Esophagus-II: Clinical Manifestations and Management

Individuals with Barrett's esophagus are often asymptomatic, but they may experience symptoms commonly associated with GERD, such as heartburn and acid regurgitation. Additional symptoms can include difficulty swallowing, chest pain, unintentional weight loss, blood in the stool (which may appear black, tarry, or bloody), and episodes of vomiting.
To diagnose Barrett's esophagus, healthcare providers often recommend an endoscopy for those showing symptoms of acid reflux. The procedure...

Esophageal Strictures-II: Clinical Features and Management

Esophageal Strictures-II: Clinical Features and Management

Patients with esophageal strictures often experience a range of symptoms. Initially, they may have difficulty swallowing solid foods, which can progress to include liquids. Additional symptoms may involve chest pain or discomfort, regurgitating food and fluids, heartburn, unintentional weight loss, coughing or choking during meals, and hoarseness.
Healthcare providers should gather a comprehensive medical history and conduct a physical examination for diagnosis. If esophageal stricture is...

Flail Chest-II

Flail Chest-II

Managing flail chest, a condition characterized by a segment of the chest wall moving independently from the rest of the thoracic cage, requires a comprehensive approach. It includes a thorough assessment of the patient's condition, a diagnostic evaluation to determine the extent of the injury, and the implementation of appropriate medical interventions tailored to the individual's needs.

Summary

Researchers developed a checklist to improve reporting consistency in oropharyngeal swallowing exercises. This enhances the transparency and rigor of dysphagia research, aiding study replication and evidence synthesis.

Area of Science:

Speech-language pathology
Clinical research methodology

Background:

Oropharyngeal swallowing exercises aim to improve swallowing function by targeting physiologic mechanisms.
Inconsistent reporting of treatment delivery factors limits study replicability and evidence synthesis in dysphagia research.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a standardized reporting tool for exercise-based dysphagia interventions.
To promote consistency in reporting factors influencing treatment delivery and improve study replicability.

Main Methods:

Development of an initial set of 38 questions for the treatment subsection of the Framework for RigOr aNd Transparency In REseaRch on Swallowing (FRONTIERS) tool.
Review of the initial questions by experts in research and clinical practice within the FRONTIERS collaborative.

Main Results:

A reduction from 38 to 14 questions in the treatment-focused section of the FRONTIERS checklist following expert review.
The revised checklist aims to enhance transparency and rigor in reporting dysphagia interventions.

Conclusions:

The FRONTIERS checklist provides an initial tool to improve the reporting of exercise-based dysphagia treatments.
Further refinement of the treatment section is planned based on ongoing feedback and commentary to enhance study replicability and evidence synthesis.
