Barium Swallow A Barium swallow is a radiography contrast technique performed to visualize the esophageal portion of the Upper Gastrointestinal tract. Contrast Medium is taken orally and the lumen of the Esophagus is fluoroscopically visualized. Standard X-ray films are normally taken prior to administration of the contrast medium and these are useful in detecting perforation‚ presence of radiopaque foreign substances and gastric wall thickening. Oral contrast mediums‚ such as barium sulfate highlight

Running head: VIDEOFLUOROSCOPIC SWALLOW STUDY The Videofluoroscopic Swallow Study and Dysphagia The Videofluoroscopic Swallow Study and Dysphagia The videofluoroscopic evaluation of swallowing‚ also known as the modified barium swallow‚ is considered to be the “gold standard” in the identification and evaluation of dysphagia (McMullough‚ Wertz‚ Rosenbek‚ & Dinneen‚ 1999). According to Wilcox‚ Liss‚ and Siegel (1996) “the procedure incorporates a set of modifications in bolus size‚ texture

Barium is a soft‚ heavy‚ silver-colored metal element. This element does not have very many uses outside of the laboratory‚ but it combines easily with other chemicals to form compounds used for important industrial uses. For example‚ Barium carbonate is used in the manufacture of ceramics and special glass‚ and also to purify certain chemical solutions. It is also an ingredient in clay slurries‚ also known as water muds‚ used in drilling oil wells. Barium titanate is used in sonar detectors and

Barium Research Paper Mr.Martin Block 1 May 18th‚ 2012 Abstract Barium was discovered in 1779 by Carl Scheele‚ but was isolated for the first time in 1808 by an English chemist by the name of Sir Humphry Davy. Barium is commonly found as BaSO4. Things that glow in the dark are made from Barium. Barium has many uses and plays a big role in our environment today. Barium can be found almost anywhere in the environment because it is produced there naturally and sometimes affects the environment

Every step in this experiment has reasons behind its application. One determines the masses of the crucible and barium chloride hydrate for obvious data collection and calculation purposed. The heating of the sample slowly for 10 minutes is done to remove the water from the sample. A constant mass for the sample must be obtained so therefore it must be done slowly because if not you may loose mass from the sample. At the point where the crystalline solid changes to a powdery solid the sample must

Project‚ I decided to research animals in my community‚ in particular Barn Swallow birds. With this project‚ I will observe collective data that reported the doings and the migrational patterns of Barn Swallows. This project is quite interesting to me since I have seen these birds my entire life and one of them even nested on my front porch. With the advanced

The video that I observed was an adult that was given a modified barium swallow (MBS). The adult was given thin liquids to complete the MBS. The MBS observes all stages of swallowing. The oral preparatory stage of swallowing was not clearly observed in the video. However‚ the oral transport‚ pharyngeal‚ and esophageal stages of swallowing were observed. During the oral transport stage‚ the tongue forms a groove that pushes the bolus posteriorly. However‚ it was observed that the patient’s tongue

For the experiment‚ a dilute solution of barium chloride was slowly added to a hot unknown sulphate solution slightly acidified with concentrated HCl. The precipitate is then filtered off by suction filtration‚ washed with water and dried in the oven at 150 degree Celsius for about half an hour and cooled in the desiccator‚ and weighed as barium sulphate and the percentage of sulphate was calculated from the weight of barium sulphate.
