In this case, deglutition could not be well performed, and she was obliged to use her finger to propel the masticated food downwards.
During this deglutition he seemed to relish his food, but was generally under the influence of potations of brandy.
Cardiospasm# is the name given to "a recurrent interference with deglutition by spasmodic contraction of the lower end of the œsophagus.
As the depressor muscles of the hyoid are divided, there is interference with deglutition and phonation, but respiration is not affected.
The process of deglutition varies with the kind of food.
The chief organs concerned in deglutition are the tongue, the pharynx, and the esophagus.
Paralysis of an arm or leg or of the muscles of deglutition was long ago noticed among even the initial symptoms of the attack.
They are mainly indicated in paralysis of the muscles of deglutitionand of respiration.
This reflex irritability of the nerves of deglutition and respiration is followed or attended by a condition of the most intense hyperæsthesia and a great exaltation of the special senses.
Not only isdeglutition difficult, but it is difficult to open the mouth sufficiently to inspect the fauces, and attempts to do so cause much pain.
As it advances the shade becomes increasingly darker, the power of deglutition is lost, serous phlyctenæ with gangrene and deep ulceration set in, but without any tendency to the formation of false membrane as in diphtheria.
All efforts at mastication are suspended, and deglutition is so painful, especially when the tonsils become enlarged, that the sufferer bears the pangs of hunger and thirst rather than endure the agony entailed in satisfying his wants.
In consequence of the former paralysis, deglutition becomes difficult; fluids are expelled through the nose or enter the larynx and bronchi, thereby giving rise to pneumonia; in the latter there is strabismus.
The paralysis of the muscles of deglutition is discussed by Dehænne (1857) who had contracted the disease, and the paralysis of other muscles by Faure.
The food, if it be given in the liquid form and cool, is usually taken readily, on account of the thirst, except when deglutition is rendered painful by the pharyngitis.
While the mouth remains open, the action of deglutition is stopped, and, therefore, the animal does not then breathe.
The deglutition of our saliva is performed frequently without our attention, and is then an irritative action in consequence of the stimulus of it in the mouth.
The masticated food stimulates the palate, which is an organ of sense, into so much action, as to produce agreeable sensation; and the muscles subservient to deglutition are brought into action by the sensation thus produced.
As these parts have frequently been stimulated at the same time into pleasurable action by the deglutitionof our daily aliment, their actions become strongly associated.
The only condition with which it is liable to be confused is the variety of cephalic tetanus in which the muscles of deglutition are specially involved--the so-called tetanus hydrophobicus.
A few days of general malaise, with chills and giddiness precede the onset of the acute manifestations, which affect chiefly the muscles of deglutition and respiration.
The spasms rapidly spread to all the muscles of deglutition and respiration, so that the patient not only has the greatest difficulty in swallowing, but has a constant sense of impending suffocation.
The deglutition of external air is preceded by an aspiratory thoracic effort; closure of the glottis forces the OEsophagus to open under the stress of increased negative intrathoracic pressure, and to suck air down.
I tried to have her drink some strong coffee, but deglutition was almost impossible.
But do you not know that deglutition is most difficult in cases of diphtheria?
You say that impaired deglutition was due to poisoning.
The medulla controls the circulation, respiration, and deglutition (swallowing).
Deglutition is often painful, and is accompanied by a sort of spasmodic constriction of the pharyngeal muscles.
Respiration was difficult, and deglutition impossible; the pulse was 110 and dicrotic.
Their venom merely serves to paralyse their prey before deglutition takes place; it does not afford them an effective means of defence or attack.
Deglutition is slow and painful, but the gastric and intestinal juices are so speedy in action, that the digestion of the most resistant substances rapidly takes place.
And when the pharinx is irritated by agreeable food, the muscles of deglutition are brought into action by association.
Difficulty in mastication is sometimes found, but much more frequently difficulty in deglutition is reported.
Deglutition and mastication were difficult, and there was persistent hiccough.
The earliest manifestations are those of impediment to the prompt passage of the bolus to the stomach, repeated acts of deglutition or additional swallows of food or drink being necessary.
Deglutition is excited in a reflex manner when the milk or other fluid reaches the pharynx.
Sometimes it can be traced to a fear of strangulation, induced primarily by some accidental impediment to deglutition or the entrance of a foreign body.
The symptoms of annular dilatation are similar to those of stricture with retention of food above it, the regurgitation usually following deglutition more quickly.
Auscultation of the oesophagus during deglutition of water will indicate the seat of stricture by revealing the ascent of consecutive air-bubbles even when palpation with bougies fails.
When the spasm is high up, the regurgitation may follow the act ofdeglutition almost immediately.
Deglutition becomes painful, especially when the food tendered is rather hot or rather cold.
The diagnosis of congenital dilatation is based upon a history of difficulty in deglutition dating from the earliest period of recollection.
The pain in swallowing can often be diminished by pulling on the lobe of the ear at the moment of deglutition (Grewcock).
The act of swallowing did not appear to cause distress, for he could go through the motions of deglutition without any trouble.
It is to be remarked that the spasm affects the mechanism of the respiratory apparatus, the muscles of mastication and deglutition being only secondarily contracted.
He was ingeniously fed by esophageal tubes and rectal enemata; in three weeks speech and deglutition were restored.
Congenital absence of the tongue does not necessarily make speech, taste, or deglutition impossible.
The patient used a gilded silver plate to fix the tongue so that deglutitioncould be carried on.
It is of slow growth, and as the organ enlarges it interferes with deglutition and speech.
He rapidly developed great pain and tumor in the larynx, together with difficulty in deglutition and speech.
At last deglutition became impossible and the patient died of malnutrition.
The mouth is opened with difficulty and pain; deglutition is seriously impeded, or altogether impracticable; the voice is weak and indistinct; and the countenance is swollen and discoloured.
Deglutition is seriously impeded, the strength is exhausted, the body is emaciated, the features become contracted, and evince great anxiety.
In general, there is little or no obstruction to deglutition or respiration, and the health is not impaired.
Deglutition is difficult and painful; an exquisite degree of pain is occasioned by pressure on the sides of the neck, and the circulation is more or less excited.
The position of the head also renders deglutition awkward.
The patient is unable to speak, deglutition and respiration are much impeded, and thirst is excessive.
The tongue, like the bill, however, is only an accessory to the digestive apparatus; for while the beak serves the purpose of prehension and trituration, the tongue assists in deglutition or swallowing.
In like manner, the air-bag connected with the one developed lung of the Ophidians retains the necessary supply of air during the tedious process of deglutition or swallowing.
If it be properly reduced by the saliva it is allowed to pass the fauces,--a truly involuntary act of deglutition occurring.
The reasons for my doing so are: First, that I believe that a hitherto unsuspected reflex in deglutition has come to light which has an important bearing on health, the prevention of disease and on metabolism.
Deglutition is therefore a result of an undesigned mechanical contrivance.
The tongue is indeed mostly fleshy and soft; yet in many species it is provided with horny points, in others invested by a dense coriaceous tegument, so that it appears to represent an instrument for deglutition rather than gustation.
The sexual function has at once become an ingestive function, tending unto nutrition, or the deglutition of the food is itself an act of copulation.
It originates through a too rapid deoxydation of the stomach, through deglutition of the gastric juice on account of an excess of food.
In deglutition the object of the tongue is not to give over or surrender the morsel to the pharynx, but to enjoy it "per se.
The first respiration and deglutition is therefore a respiration and deglutition effected by the sexual parts, as in the lowest animals.
Their deglutition would be therefore a respiratory act.
Possibly the business was "eating its head off," and the process of deglutition had to be rigorously curtailed.
Most people know that Birmingham is swallowing up its immediate suburbs, and the process of deglutition is still going on.
