The effect of bolus volume on laryngeal closure and UES opening in swallowing: Kinematic analysis using 320 ‐row area detector CT Study
This study investigated the effects of three different volumes of honey‐thick liquid on the temporal characteristics of swallowing. Twenty six healthy subjects (15 males, 11 females) underwent 320‐Row Area Detector CT scan while swallowing 3, 10, and 20ml of honey‐thick liquid barium. Three‐dimensional images were created at 10 images/s. Kinematic events involving six structures (velopharynx, hyoid bone, epiglottis, laryngeal vestibule (LV), true vocal cords (TVC), upper esophageal sphincter (UES)) and timing of bolus movement were timed using frame by frame analysis. The overall sequence of events did not differ a...

Changes in psychological health, subjective food intake ability and oral health ‐related quality of life during orthodontic treatment
Summary
Assessing changes in patient's psychological health and oral health‐related quality of life (OHRQoL) over time during orthodontic treatment may help clinicians to treat patients more carefully. To evaluate changes in mental health, self‐reported masticatory ability and OHRQoL during orthodontic treatment in adults, this prospective study included 66 adults (30 men, 36 women; mean age, 24·2 ± 5·2 years). Each patient completed the Korean versions of the State–Trait Anxiety Inventory, Zung Self‐Rating Depression Scale, Rosenberg self‐esteem scale, key subjective food intake ability (KFIA) test for fiv...

Effect of body posture on chewing behaviours in healthy volunteers
Summary
Mastication is essential to the eating process and forms an important part of feeding behaviour. Many factors related to the food bolus, such as bolus texture and size, are known to influence mastication. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of body posture on (i) chewing duration prior to the first swallow and (ii) patterns of mastication‐related EMG activity. We asked 10 healthy adults to chew 8 g of steamed rice with barium sulphate while we recorded masseter, suprahyoid and infrahyoid muscle activity and simultaneously collected videofluorographic images. Participants chewed in either an uprigh...
