Botulinum toxin for upper oesophageal sphincter dysfunction in neurological swallowing disorders
Walshe, Margaret; Regan, Julie (2012)Background: Adequate upper oesophageal sphincter (UOS) opening is critical to safe and efficient swallowing due to the close proximity of the UOS to the airway entrance. Many people with neurological conditions, progressive ... -
Botulinum toxin for upper oesophageal sphincter dysfunction in neurological swallowing disorders.
Walshe, Margaret; Mc Mahon, Barry; Coughlan, Tara; Regan, Julie (2014) -
Clinical Examination in Speech and Language Therapy Education: Student Perspectives
Regan, Julie; Quigley, Duana (2020)Abstract Introduction & Aims: The Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) has an established history of assessing clinical competence for medical and allied health care professionals. No research ... -
Development of a Core Outcome Set for Dysphagia Interventions in Parkinson's disease (COS-DIP)
Regan, Julie; Walshe, Margaret (2024)Introduction: Current clinical trials on swallowing disorders (dysphagia) in Parkinson's disease (PD) apply a high variety of outcomes and different outcome measures making comparative effectiveness research challenging. ... -
The Diagnostic Accuracy of the Pitch Glide to Identify Aspiration in Patients with Respiratory Diseases: A Pilot Study
Regan, Julie (2019)Introduction: Initial research has been conducted to determine the diagnostic accuracy of the pitch glide during the clinical swallow evaluation to identify aspiration in adults after stroke. Findings suggest that reduced ... -
Effect of effortful swallow on pharyngeal pressures during swallowing in adults with dysphagia: A pharyngeal high-resolution manometry study
Regan, Julie; Heslin, Niall (2021)Purpose: Evidence base to support use of the effortful swallow in clinical populations with dysphagia is currently lacking. This study aims to quantify the effects of effortful swallowing on pharyngeal swallowing ... -
Impact of Sensory Stimulation on Pharyngo-esophageal Swallowing Biomechanics in Adults with Dysphagia: A High-Resolution Manometry Study
Regan, Julie (2020)Evidence supporting sensory stimulation of swallowing is based mostly on videofluoroscopy and provides little insight into changes to swallowing physiology. In this study, the impact of sensory stimulation on pharyngo-esophageal ... -
Inter-rater Reliability of the Dysphagia Outcome and Severity Scale (DOSS): Effects of Clinical Experience, Audio-Recording and Training
Regan, Julie (2017)The Dysphagia Outcome and Severity Scale (DOSS) is widely used to measure dysphagia severity based on videofluoroscopy (VFSS). This study investigated inter-rater reliability (IRR) of the DOSS. It also determined the effect ... -
Intra-Oral Cancer Awareness amongst Speech and Language Therapists
Regan, Julie (Springer, 2020) -
A new evaluation of the upper esophageal sphincter using the functional lumen imaging probe: a preliminary report.
Mc Mahon, Barry; Regan, Julie (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?.
Mc Mahon, Barry; Regan, Julie (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 ... -
Use of Pharyngeal High-Resolution Manometry to Evaluate Dysphagia in Adults with Motor Neurone Disease: A Scoping Review
Regan, Julie (2022)There has been a recent shift towards proactive dysphagia intervention in motor neurone disease (MND) to maintain physiological reserve. Pharyngeal high-resolution manometry (PHRM) can quantify swallowing pathophysiology ...
