Hypothesis Preterm babies who receive sensory motor stimulation from their mothers as compared to trained nurses will 1. Start taking oral feed at the same time as compared to control group 2. Take the same amount of milk at the commencement of oral feeding 3. Take milk with equal efficiency 4. Not face more adverse effects
Vocal fold immobility (VFI) often results in significant problems with dysphonia, dysphagia, and decreased cough strength. As one element of the dysphagia potentially associated with vocal fold immobility, aspiration may create significant morbidity for these patients. An estimated 38% to 53% of patients with untreated VFI have swallowing difficulties with aspiration. Vocal fold immobility has important implication on the laryngeal airway protection during respiration, phonation and swallowing. It is the most common neurological laryngeal disorder. The immobility may be caused by neck and thoracic surgery. which can impair the innervation of the pharynx, upper esophageal sphincter (U.E.S) and proximal esophagus but may also be due to malignancy,trauma, Intracranial causes,or may be idiopathic
Observational cross-sectional study Infants with laryngomalacia Feeding and swallowing assessment
The study aims to examine effectiveness of the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) on sensory, digestive, and eating behaviors in children currently receiving therapy.
This study will investigate if the performance on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) is associated or predictive of the outcomes in voice, swallowing or upper airway therapy in the older laryngology treatment seeking patients. The relationship between the scores of MoCA and parameters in therapy will be analyzed. The outcomes of this study could potentially impact how investigators determine candidacy for therapy and develop patient treatment plans to meet their needs. This is a collaborative study with Emory Voice Center and the NYU Voice Center.
This study aimed to gather more information regarding two clinically relevant tests: The Test of Mastication and Swallowing Solids (TOMASS) and the Timed Water Swallow Test (TWST). Both tests can be used clinically as part of swallowing disorders evaluation. The aims of the study were to assess the reliability of the two tests, to document the effects of age and gender on the outcome measures of the TOMASS and TWST and to explore the relationship between participants' function in the two tests. To do that, 298 healthy participants were included. All of them did not have dysphagia. Most of them were elderly.
In this prospective study we extracted acoustic parameters using PRAAT from patient's attempt to phonate during the clinical evaluation using a digital smart device. From these parameters we attempted (1) to define which of the PRAAT acoustic features best help to discriminate patients with dysphagia (2) to develop algorithms using sophisticated ML techniques that best classify those i) with dysphagia and those ii ) at high risk of respiratory complications due to poor cough force.
Cheeks appearance is a screening tool developed based on cheeks observation to identify volume, flaccidity or both to predict people with probable obstructive sleep apnea.
