A new evaluation of the upper esophageal sphincter using the functional lumen imaging probe: a preliminary report.
(2013)Objective and reliable evaluation of upper esophageal sphincter (UES) opening during swallowing based on videofluoroscopy and pharyngeal manometry challenges dysphagia clinicians. The functional lumen imaging probe (FLIP) ... -
New measures of upper esophageal sphincter distensibility and opening patterns during swallowing in healthy subjects using EndoFLIP?.
(2013)Background: This paper aims to measure upper esophageal sphincter (UES) distensibility and extent and duration of UES opening during swallowing in healthy subjects using EndoFLIP®. Methods: Fourteen healthy subjects ... -
Nuclear accents in four Irish (Gaelic) dialects
