Neurogenic Dysphagia
This book is a clinical manual that covers the whole spectrum of swallowing and its disorders. It starts with physiology of swallowing, pathophysiology of disordered deglutition, diagnostic methods (clinical and instrumental) and ends with an in-depth’s and up-to-date presentation of current treatment options. The clinically most relevant topics of dysphagia management on the stroke unit and the intensive care unit are dealt with in separate chapters. Also the closely intertwined issue of nutritional management is specifically addressed. Most importantly, the book covers all obligatory topics of the Flexible Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing (FEES)-curriculum, an educational initiative t...
Neurogene Dysphagien
Neurological diseases such as cerebral stroke, dementia, and Parkinson=s disease are the most frequent causes of swallowing disturbances. Neurogenic dysphagias are playing an increasingly important role in outpatient and in-patient care due to their often severe health sequelae and the increasing ageing of the population. In a practically oriented way, this established reference work discusses the neurophysiological basis, as well as the diagnosis and treatment of neurogenic dysphagias, reflecting the rapid developments in this field during the last 15 years. A special focus in the book is carrying out and reporting on the endoscopic evaluation of neurogenic dysphagias. Since 2015, the German Association for Neurology and the German Stroke Association have been offering a Flexible Endoscopic Examination of Swallowing (FEES) training curriculum for neurogenic dysphagias, and the German Association for Geriatric Medicine has also joined with the project. All of the content requirements for the FEES training curriculum are covered in this expanded and revised second edition of the book. Example FEES videos for various patterns of disturbance can be downloaded as additional materials.
Dysphagia
The second edition of this well-received book provides a comprehensive and up-to-date description of the diagnosis and management of dysphagia, including oral, pharyngeal, and esophageal dysfunction. All aspects of dysphagia are covered, with detailed consideration of anatomy, physiology, and pathology. In addition to a variety of benign and malignant disease entities, signs and symptoms, and treatment approaches, many other relevant topics are addressed, including endoscopy, manometry, malnutrition, dehydration, oral care, dementia, ethics, and the social and psychologic impacts of dysphagia. Specific aspects of importance in pediatric and geriatric patients are highlighted. This edition features a number of completely new chapters focusing on, among other subjects, dysphagia in further disease contexts and following laryngectomy and radiation therapy. The authors are without exception world-leading experts in their fields. The book will be of value for practitioners in all specialties involved in the evaluation and treatment of dysphagia. It is therefore a truly multidisciplinary project.
A Multidisciplinary Approach to Managing Swallowing Dysfunction in Older People
A Multidisciplinary Approach to Managing Swallowing Dysfunction in Older People provides comprehensive coverage on oropharyngeal dysphagia (OD), focusing on older patient phenotypes. The book provides the knowledge needed for translational researchers and professionals to aid in the detection, diagnosis, treatment and management of OD, ultimately improving patient quality of life. OD has been recently considered a geriatric syndrome because of its high prevalence, the increase of life-expectancy and the need to be managed by a multidisciplinary approach. This reference takes a novel approach to OD, covering all aspects as a geriatric syndrome, examining a complicated and multi-level topic in...
Therapie und Verlauf neurologischer Erkrankungen
This large reference work and specialist textbook on clinical neurology is now available in a new, expanded and revised edition prepared by the internationally renowned editors, with contributions from more than 150 specialists. In tried and tested fashion, recent findings on the clinical picture and on the course and treatment in neurological diseases are summed up systematically and assessed for their pragmatic applicability - not only for frequent conditions such as cerebral stroke, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis and Parkinson's disease, but also for rare and complex clinical pictures. With additional chapters on neuropaediatrics and neurogeriatrics, as well as the thematic revision of individual articles - e.g., on tinnitus, sleep disturbances, vascular malformations and neurocutaneous symptoms - the seventh edition has a great deal of new information to offer. This established work - founded by the editors Brandt/Dichgans/Diener - follows on from the successes of the previous editions and is indispensable for the everyday work of specialists and general practitioners in hospitals and private practice, as well as for successful training and further training.
