Deglutition01:25

Deglutition

1.5K
Swallowing, otherwise known as deglutition, facilitates the transport of food from the mouth to the stomach. It is a multifaceted process that involves both the tongue and the muscles of the throat and esophagus. Saliva and mucus aid in this process, which takes approximately 4 to 8 seconds for semi-solid or solid food and around 1 second for liquids or very soft food.
Swallowing can be divided into three stages: the voluntary phase, the pharyngeal phase, and the esophageal phase. Although the...

Assessment of Airway, Skin Color, and Use of Accessory Muscles

954
A thorough assessment of respiratory health is paramount in clinical settings to identify and manage respiratory distress and ensure adequate oxygenation. This article elaborates on the critical aspects of respiratory evaluation, including airway assessment, skin color examination, and the observation of accessory muscle use, which are integral to effectively diagnosing and managing patients with respiratory conditions.
Introduction
The initial evaluation of a patient's respiratory system...

Disorders of the Skeletal Muscle01:28

Disorders of the Skeletal Muscle

857
The clinical conditions affecting the skeletal muscle tissue are broadly categorized as musculoskeletal and neuromuscular disorders.
Musculoskeletal disorders
Musculoskeletal disorders involve injuries and conditions affecting the skeletal muscles and associated connective tissues. These disorders can arise from acute biomechanical stresses or chronic overuse and can occur across different age groups. Common injuries include sprains, fractures, and muscular strains, often resulting from...

Myasthenia Gravis: Overview and Treatment

1.1K
Myasthenia gravis is a neuromuscular transmission disorder characterized by weakness and increased fatigability of skeletal muscles. It is an autoimmune disease affecting approximately one in 2000 people, where antibodies against the α1 subunit of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors are produced.
These antibodies interfere with the function of the nicotinic receptors in three ways: by binding to the receptor and disrupting acetylcholine binding; by causing cross-linking of receptors which...

Larynx01:21

Larynx

1.2K
The human larynx, often referred to as the voice box, is an intricate organ located in the neck. It serves as a pathway for air to enter the lungs during respiration and is an essential component of voice production.
Anatomy of the Larynx
The larynx consists of various components, including cartilage, muscles, and vocal cords. Its structure includes three large unpaired cartilages—the thyroid, cricoid, and epiglottis—and three smaller paired cartilages—the arytenoids,...

Assessment of the Mouth01:26

Assessment of the Mouth

124
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.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Speech and Language Pathology

Background:

  • Multiple sclerosis (MS) is characterized by brain inflammation, axonal loss, and demyelination.
  • These neurological changes frequently lead to speech impairments (dysarthria) and swallowing difficulties (dysphagia).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review speech and swallowing difficulties associated with multiple sclerosis.
  • To emphasize the importance of assessing these functional impairments in MS patients.

Main Methods:

  • This article presents a descriptive overview of existing literature on the topic.
  • It synthesizes information regarding the impact and management of speech and swallowing issues in MS.

Main Results:

  • Speech difficulties can range from mild to severe, impacting communication and daily functioning.
  • Dysphagia presents a significant risk, potentially leading to life-threatening complications if unaddressed.
  • Both speech and swallowing problems tend to worsen as multiple sclerosis progresses.

Conclusions:

  • Assessment of speech and swallowing should be an integral part of routine clinical evaluation for all individuals with MS.
  • Timely and appropriate intervention by speech-language pathologists is essential for alleviating these debilitating symptoms.
  • Speech-language pathologists play a vital role in the multidisciplinary care team for MS patients.
