Sentence examples for swallowing activities from inspiring English sources

Swallowing accelerometry, a technique that involves an accelerometer placed on the neck to monitor vibrations associated with swallowing activities, has been used to detect aspiration in several studies, which have described a shared pattern among healthy swallow signals and verified that this pattern is either absent or delayed in dysphagic swallow signals (e.g., [16, 17, 24]).

Taste, thermal and chemical properties of the ingested fluid act as stimuli of these nerves and are known to affect swallowing activities (Table  4).

In regard to non-nutritive swallowing, the absence of swallowing activity during apneas in periodic breathing during quiet sleep as well as the presence of bursts of swallows with apneas in active sleep remain to be explained.

Swallowing PMNs are highly interconnected to multiple areas of the brain stem and the central nervous system and provide a potential anatomic substrate integration of swallowing activity with airway protective reflexes.

In the control study, intracerebroventricular artificial cerebrospinal fluid did not change fetal swallowing (0.9 ± 0.1 versus 1.0 ± 0.1 swallows per minute), whereas intracerebroventricular angiotensin II significantly increased swallowing activity (1.0 ± 0.1 versus 2.0 ± 0.1 swallows per minute; P <.001) and fetal blood pressure (51 ± 2 to 59 ± 3 mm Hg; P =.003).

The rationale behind the application of electrical stimulation is that it facilitates increased muscle contraction during swallowing activity.

It might also be contended that unilateral increases in swallowing activity might be more functionally useful in dysphagia recovery, although the bilateral increases in brain swallowing activity with PES and PAS, both of which were associated with improved swallowing, would be against this notion.

Reduced gallbladder fluorescence, the endpoint we use to identify active compounds in the primary screen, could not differentiate compounds that inhibited lipid absorption from those that interfered with swallowing, phospholipase activity or hepatic metabolism and biliary secretion.

The treatment condition that employed all three stimuli together was the only means to produce a significantly quicker average initiation of swallow activity.

Yet, and this is a killer fact that Harris and the left find hard to swallow, charitable activity by the independent sector has risen since 2011.

(2003), using sEMG, showed that latency to swallow specific activity was significantly shorter following mechanical+cold+gustatory condition compared with no stimulation in a healthy population.
