Manometric analysis of swallowing was conducted on 35 subjects, aged 44 to 60. The course of physiological changes in pressure during oral and pharyngeal phase of swallowing was analysed. To objectify the evaluation of analysed phenomena, parameters that include both pressure values inside pharynx and oesophagus and time dependences connected with changes in their value were used as proposed by the authors of this paper and as applied by other authors involved with these issues.

Article Synopsis
  • The study compared swallowing functions in 49 post-partial laryngectomy patients to a control group of 35 subjects, focusing on the impact of laryngeal mobility.
  • Findings revealed that the mobility of the remaining laryngeal structures significantly affects swallowing efficiency, particularly in relation to the presence of the hyoid bone.
  • Resection of the hyoid bone correlates with increased swallowing difficulties and aspiration risks, while the effectiveness of glottal occlusion alone does not compensate for swallowing disorders.

Article Synopsis
  • A study examined swallowing difficulties in 54 patients who had partial laryngectomy and 35 controls, highlighting that removing part of the base of the tongue worsened swallowing issues and increased aspiration risk.
  • The findings emphasized that the shape and mobility of the tongue significantly impact swallowing efficiency in these patients, pointing to the need for careful reconstruction during surgery.
  • The research also found no connection between the effectiveness of glottis/neoglottis closure and swallowing problems, indicating that these structures alone do not provide a solution for swallowing disorders.

Videorentgenocinematographic examinations of swallowing were conducted on 81 patients after partial laryngectomy and on 35 subjects being a control group. Resection of piriform recess, a part of base of the tongue, the hyoid bone or its part is the factor that causes intensified difficulty during swallowing and increase in the frequency of the occurrence of aspiration. The results of videorentgenocinematographic examinations indicate that the shape and mobility of the tongue and the mobility of remaining after the surgery parts of the larynx have the greatest influence on the efficient swallowing in patients who have undergone partial laryngectomy due to cancer initially located in the supraglottic area.

Article Synopsis
  • Laryngographic exams were performed on 97 patients after partial laryngectomy and 35 controls.
  • The study found no link between the effectiveness of glottis/neoglottis occlusion and swallowing disorders.
  • This indicates that effective glottis or neoglottis closure alone does not compensate for swallowing issues.

Article Synopsis
  • A laryngographic exam was performed on 35 men aged 45 to 65 who had normal hearing and speech.
  • The study proposed a new measurement called the laryngographic closure effectiveness coefficient (LCEC) to evaluate how well the glottis protects airways from food aspiration.
  • The goal was to establish LCEC values for a control group that could help assess swallowing disorders in patients who have had partial laryngectomy.

Article Synopsis
  • The study examined the pharyngeal phase of swallowing under normal physiological conditions, focusing on how anatomical structures move during this phase.
  • Researchers analyzed the sequence and timing of these movements to better understand the process.
  • To standardize their findings, they adopted linear and time-based metrics previously used by other researchers in the field.

In 50 human fetuses of the crown-rump length ranging from 88 mm to 185 mm (12 to 20 weeks), the variability of the arterial vascularization of the vermiform appendix was investigated using the injection method. 3 vascularization types were distinguished on the basis of the size and number of the supplying arteries. The obtained results were compared with those reported by other authors who studied vermiform appendix vascularization in adults.

Using cranial radiographs of 214 skulls representing white population, morphological features (size and shape) of the frontal sinuses were evaluated and compared with data on Eskimo and Indian series representing yellow population. In both populations, white and yellow, the sinuses are better developed and are usually larger in men than in women. The sinuses of smooth contour are usually smaller than those with serrated contour, and in case of the first ones, the left one is missing.
