Observations of prepharyngeal and postpharyngeal flap degrees of lateral pharyngeal wall movement seem to indicate that some individuals have the ability to alter patterns of lateral pharyngeal wall m...
A total of 202 patients with pharyngeal flaps were assessed with nasopharyngoscopy and multiview fluoroscopy to determine the role of lateral pharyngeal wall movement postoperatively. Variations in th...
The pharyngeal constriction ratio (PCR), derived directly from videofluoroscopy without the need for manometry, requires validation as a surrogate for pharyngeal strength. A correlation of -0.70 was p...
One case each of: (1) low grade thyroid lymphoma; (2) supraclavicular and para-oesophageal metastasis of a uterine adenocarcinoma; and (3) recurrent multinodular goitre have been encountered in very i...
The mechanical effects of pharyngeal constrictor (PC) muscle activation on pharyngeal airway function were determined in 20 decerebrate, tracheotomized cats. In 10 cats, a high-compliance balloon atta...
Radiologic examinations of the pharynx were performed in 13 patients presenting with dysphagia following treatment of pharyngeal cancer with excision and radiotherapy. The conventional single-film tec...
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this investigation was to study lateral pharyngeal wall adduction relative to pharyngeal flaps of different widths. The hypothesis to be tested was that pharyngeal wall adduc...
