Dysphagia refers to any difficulty or problem with deglutition or bolus movement from the time the bolus is placed in the mouth until the time it enters the stomach. It affects around 16 million individuals in the USA and over 40 million individuals in Europe. Evaluation of dysphagia by a phoniatrician/speech-language pathologist (SLP) may consist of a clinical swallow evaluation and an instrumental assessment, such as a videofluoroscopic swallow study (VFSS) and fiberoptic endoscopic valuation of swallow (FEES). This resource is designed to benefit a broad audience, including phoniatricians, SLPs, trainee SLPs, physicians, nurses, dietitians, and occupational and physical therapists who work with populations who have dysphagia, as well as researchers in the field of swallowing disorders. Table of Contents: • Definition, etiology, epidemiology, symptoms and consequences • Normal swallowing and pathophysiology of dysphagia • Screening and clinical swallowing examination • Instrumental assessment • Management • Recent advances and future directions
Was nützt Künstliche Intelligenz im Gesundheitswesen, wenn diese nicht verantwortungsvoll entwickelt und genutzt wird?

This book constitutes the refereed post-conference proceedings of the 11th and the 12th International Conference on Big Data Technologies and Applications, BDTA 2021 and BDTA 2022, held in December 2021 and 2022. Due to COVID-19 pandemic both conferences were held virtually. The 23 full papers of BDTA 2021 and BDTA 2022 were selected from 61 submissions and present all big data technologies, such as big data collection and storage, big data management and retrieval, big data mining approaches, big data visualization, and new domains and novel applications related to these technologies.
Using a phenomenological and multi-sited ethnographic approach, this book focuses on children’s uses of digital media in three sites—London, Casablanca and Beirut—and situates the study of Arab children and screen media within a wider frame, making connections between local, regional and global media content. The study moves away from a conventional definition of media towards a pluralistic interpretation, and provides key ethnographic findings that reveal how the notion of home is extended across everyday spaces that children occupy. Exploring the relationship between children and media outside of the subject-object hierarchy, it re-connects them in a horizontal mapping of affectivity and intimacy. This book will appeal to scholars specializing in children and the media, digital media, media and cultural studies, media anthropology, philosophy and Middle Eastern studies.

In this groundbreaking book, Tarik Sabry is seeking out the terrain for best understanding the experience of being modern in transitional societies. He adopts a dynamic, ethnographically based approach to the meanings of 'modernness' in the Arab context and, within a relational framework, focuses on structures of thought, everydayness and self-referentiality to explore the process of building a bridge that rejoins the 'modern' in Arab thought with the 'modern' in Arab lived experience. In bringing together modernity as a philosophical category with the bridging spaces of Arab everyday life, Sabry is offering fresh methods of comprehending the question of what it means to be modern in the Arab world today.
