Videofluoroscopic Swallow Studies: Similarities and Differences for Pediatric Versus Adult Patients With Dysphagia

Abstract The chromosomal complement of 28 children with the diagnosis of acute nonlymphocytic leukemia (ANLL) were examined. An abnormal cytogenetic pattern was found in 50% of these patients, which is similar to the results in adults with ANLL. Unlike the reports in adult patients, however, no specific chromosomal changes were found. This observation may imply that the etiology and mechanisms by which abnormal clones develop in ANLL could differ significantly between children and adults. Those patients with chromosomal abnormalities in their initial bone marrow sample had a median survival of 7.1 mo, whereas those with a normal diploid pattern in their bone marrow had a median survival of 20.5 mo (1-sided, p = 0.04). If all metaphases were abnormal, the median survival was only 3 mo.

Similarities And Differences

The oral form-discrimination abilities of 18 orally educated and oriented deaf high school subjects were determined and compared to those of manually educated and oriented deaf subjects and normal-hearing subjects. The similarities and differences among the responses of the three groups were discussed and then compared to responses elicited from subjects with functional disorders of articulation. In general, the discrimination scores separated the manual deaf from the other two groups, particularly when differences in form shapes were involved in the test. The implications of the results for theories relating orosensory-discrimination abilities are discussed. It is postulated that, while a failure in oroperceptual functioning may lead to disorders of articulation, a failure to use the oral mechanism for speech activities, even in persons with normal orosensory capabilities, may result in poor performance on oroperceptual tasks.
