Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of the Mann Assessment of Swallowing Ability (MASA) to predict the results of videofluoroscopic swallowing studies.
Method: Children with cerebral palsy with suspicion of aspiration were enrolled. The Functional Dysphagia Scale (FDS) was used to quantify the swallowing dysfunction in videofluoroscopic swallowing studies.
Purpose: The authors sought to study the relationship between Doppler ultrasonography and deterioration of renal function in patients with spinal cord injury.
Materials And Methods: Nineteen patients who underwent follow-up with radioisotopic renography were evaluated. Median patient age was 50 [interquartile ratio (IQR) 35-57] years, and time since injury was 4.
Objective: To present the results of scintigraphic evaluation, using the Gaussian curve fitting method, via 3 parameters of oropharyngeal swallow: (1) pharyngeal transit time, (2) premature pharyngeal entry, and (3) postswallow pharyngeal stasis while ingesting liquid.
Design: A descriptive study.
Setting: A rehabilitation hospital affiliated with a medical university.
Objectives: To assess renal resistive index (RI) changes in patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) who have obstructive uropathy and to determine if an RI of 0.7 or more is useful in identifying such patients.
Design: Prospective cross-sectional study.
Objective: To compare the renal excursion detected by ultrasonography with the diaphragmatic excursion recorded by fluoroscopy in estimating the diaphragmatic function in patients with high cervical cord injury.
Design: Prospective, blinded comparative study.
Setting: A rehabilitation hospital affiliated with a medical university.
