examination was performed. Other procedures I observed were two knee exams‚ two of hands‚ one specifically for the fingers‚ facial bones and one fluoroscopic procedure called video swallow. My favorite procedure was the video swallow because in this procedure the patient was asked to drink and eat various types of food mixed with barium to see for any choking or swallowing problem. As the food was swallowed it would appear on a fluoroscope. Therefore‚ it was very interested to actually see the food being chewed

A peptic ulcer is a mucosal contusion in the stomach or duodenum. Peptic Ulcer disease results from when the mucosal defenses get incapacitated and no longer shield the epithelium from the result of acid and pepsin. There are three types of ulcers that may occur gastric‚ duodenal‚ and stress ulcers. Most ulcers are caused by H.Pylori infection‚ which is carried through the fecal-oral route and thought to be received in childhood. It also can be received through contaminated endoscopic equipment.

The Feed or Ordinary Diet (FOOD) trials studied how CVA patients with the ability to swallow were effected when nutrition was given orally versus nutrition provided through NG or PEG tubes. These trials also looked at how implementation of an NG tube within 7 days post CVA changed the outcome for this population‚ as well as outcome differences

The principal structure of the digestive system is an irregular tube‚ open at both ends‚ called the alimentary (al-i-MEN-tar-ee) canal or the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. In the adult‚ this hollow tube is about 9 meters (29 feet) long Think of the tube as a passageway that extends through the body like a hallway through a building. Food must be broken down or digested and then absorbed through the walls of the digestive tube before it can actually enter the body and be used by cells The teeth

do because the patient can possibly die while in our care‚ but I believe as long as we are trained well‚ there should not be a problem. It was interesting learning about the different phases and disorders involved in swallowing. Seeing modified barium swallow studies were attention grabbing to me because you get to see if a patient aspirates and you can visually see the liquids going down their pharynx into their esophagus or

\section{What can cause dysphagia} There are different causes for dysphagia that can be classified in three categories : neurological‚ structural and mechanical‚ and the neck or head condition \cite{clave}‚ \cite{paper5}‚ \cite{cook}‚ \cite{clave2}. \subsection{Patients with neurological diseases:} Neurological diseases can cause dysphagia because muscles involved in the swallowing process are less controllable by the brain. Moreover‚ the sensors that should detect the bolus in the pathway‚ may

0g of barium nitrate was weighed into the beaker. Next‚ 50ml of distilled water was added to the beaker with the barium nitrate sample. The sample was mixed for ten minutes using the magnetic stirrer. Afterwards‚ as much as possible of the barium nitrate solution was decanted without losing the solid barium nitrate. To get rid of the excess water‚ the beaker placed onto a hot plate to evaporate the remaining water I the beaker. One the sample was dry‚ the mass of the beaker with the dry barium nitrate
