Tough to Swallow

Sip a refreshing drink, or take a bite of yummy food and, for most of us, no thought is given to what happens next. Swallowing, like blinking and breathing, is automatic. But what if it isn’t, and one of life’s pleasures becomes uncomfortable and a serious choking risk? Swallowing disorders have a variety of causes that often include a neurological problem such as nerve damage from a degenerative disease, stroke or neurotoxic medication. Recently, researchers have identified in mice the particular oesophagus-targeting neurons (pictured) that sense the presence of food or liquid in the throat and relay signals to the brain to prompt peristalsis – the wave-like squeezing of oesophageal muscles that pushes food to the stomach. The hope is that knowledge of how these cells work and how they might be stimulated could ultimately lead to interventions for people where the simple act of swallowing has become difficult and dangerous.

Eosinophilic Esophagitis Disease Is Now A Leading Cause Of Food Impaction And Dysphagia

                                            Eosinophilic Esophagitis 

Due to a compromised mucosal barrier in the oesophagus and a reverse immunological response mediated by Th2 interleukins, esophageal fissures/lesions, fibrosis, and dysmotility develop in Eosinophilic Esophagitis. There is a 7% chance that eosinophilic esophagitis will be genetically inherited. Eosinophilic esophageal disease is now a major contributor to food impaction and dysphagia due to its rise in prevalence in recent years. Because it is a chronic inflammatory disease, patients must continue to be managed in order to prevent symptoms from getting worse. EoE can be treated with anything from medication to a strict elemental diet. Foods that cause inflammation may need to be cut out of the diet. Their buildup at a specific site on the body indicates the presence of allergic disorders.

The patient's age may have an impact on the symptoms, which might vary greatly. Asthma instances linked to the condition are rising, and so are awareness of it and diagnosis rates. People with this illness may also develop eczema in addition to the symptoms.An excessive amount of eosinophils (a specific type of white blood cell) are found in the oesophagus in Eosinophilic Esophagitis  a chronic immunological illness of the digestive system. Food travels through the oesophagus, a tube, from the mouth to the stomach. The term "allergic esophagitis" also applies to eosinophilic esophagitis. The immune system of the body includes eosinophils. They are essential for immune system control and provide defence against some illnesses. Their buildup at a specific site on the body indicates the presence of allergic disorders.

The Oesophagus

The esophagus is a muscular tube that connects the mouth to the stomach. It is part of the digestive system and plays an important role in transporting food and liquids from the mouth to the stomach for further digestion.Location The esophagus is located behind the trachea (windpipe) and in front of the spine. It runs down the neck and chest and passes through the diaphragm before connecting to…

reading the leaflet on a medication you got prescribed when you never actually got told what your diagnosis was makes the whole thing... interesting. they'll be like "if you have GORD" and i'm like do i have gord? i see no gourds. where are the gourds

#probably i have GORD idfk they didn't tell me #doctors be like 'hi your stomach is in your oesophagus have a nice day' #and you're like 'is it supposed to be' #and they're like 'absolutely not. sorry. we can do nothing about this' #personal

I would like to thank Dr Gregory House for helpung me through my science exam because there so many biology questions

#no joke i was able to answer a lot of them becaise of house #i never listen in science because i hate the teacher but house taught me the differnce between oesophagus and trachea 💪💪 #house md #greg house #junior cert

how attack of the clones is going in this fic, so far, going up the scale from 'this is fine' to 'this is fine (actually everything is on fire)':

lene kostana: the chillest. furthest from the action, has no idea what happened on coruscant, observing the red honeycomb zone. left padawan with jocasta nu to supervise. beginning to have a bad feeling about this. darth sidious: lightly alert for anything that could be a threat to his plans. has an ace up his sleeve that's going to cause problems for everyone except himself. kal skirata: apparently here, instead of being content with being passed a message. bribeable with snacks for his boys. may have been told 'i don't know. sit on him?' when asking 'how am i supposed to keep a jetii from doing something?' obi-wan kenobi: rumpled and confused. was sat upon by several of kal's boys (null-class arc troopers) so he wouldn't go to geonosis. did not get any uj cake. constant receptor of the 'i'm watching you' gesture from kal. anakin skywalker: has killed only three sand people! congratulations, anakin! you are the only one being fixed! qui-gon jinn: woken up from coma by anakin using the force like it's his livejournal c. 2002. without using a cut. has no idea what's been going on for the last decade. politely baffled. jocasta nu: is going to hunt darth tyranus for sport on eriadu. they allow that sort of thing there. darth tyranus: regretting several key life choices, most recently deciding to mind-probe araithana. currently dealing with 1) being shown how he dies, 2) being forcibly reminded of That Murder, 3) thinking his current guest-hostage also has visions. araithana pallopides: nebulous hostage, claimed as guest. moved all the moveable furniture in darth tyranus's geonosian tower by 3cm to the left and back. also regretting darth tyranus's life choices. unknowingly repeating sifo-dyas's exact last words before That Murder. and prom the geonosis accord meeting is tomorrow!

i'm going to go back to writing between the ice crypt trip and introducing anakin skywalker to pre-republic plays with a droid chorus, which concludes with:

The Chorus continues as a harried Knight Kenobi arrives and is promptly bullied into playing the Indrexu to Skywalker’s Xim, my Oziaf, and Aayla’s Xer, much to Master Windu’s sly amusement. By the end of our recitation, Aayla has decided that Xer is now haunting the play by heckling the patricidal Xim through mispronouncing his name on purpose, there’s an audience of nearly two dozen people, Master Windu has vanished back to his duties, and Betsy has never missed a line.

betsy (the chorus) is a b1 commander droid confiscated after the battle of naboo. betsy does not have a preferred gender other than 'it', has been reprogrammed by the temple's research and development department, and is now subject to many experiments to see how capable of learning it is.

#keeping up with the skywalkers #the star wars isekai fic #for fic accountability #i have now rewritten the kamino-geonosis parts three times! #it was one of the first pieces i did for this story and i had about 25% knowledge of everything that led up to this point #then i rewrote it a few months later #and now i'm doing this version after writing somewhere around 70 000 words in this universe #because my brain decided 'yes we wrote happy ice crypt trip now time for 5000 words of PAIN' #i blame the 2-hour long incident of BURNING IN MY OESOPHAGUS caused by my sertraline

This is cartoonishly funny not just to imagine him coughing up feathers but.

Renfield can not be dumb enough to think that feathers contain any nutritional (or ‘life’) value

#at least pluck the bloody bird first #probably scraped your oesophagus up doing that #dracula daily

Right so you know how pills are normally pill shaped, or at least circular.

My fucking painkillers are bright pink squares as big as a thumbnail.

#WHY #I CAN ALWAYS FEEL THEM IN MY OESOPHAGUS I FEEL EACH WAVE OF PERISTALISIS WHY #I CAN SWALLOW MOST PILLS DRY BUT NO THEE ONES REQUIRE LUBRICATION #AND THEYRE REALLY GOOD SO I DONT WANT TO GET NEW OBES AN IM MAD ABOUT IT #the heam speaks #Really yells but theres not much of a difference

[cloverhighfive]

Did I choke almost to death on a drop of water?

Am I still coughing 5 minutes later?

My body is a temple... of doom.

#clover talks #temple of doom #this is how I'm gonna die for sure #that oesophagus is crap

[dreamdripdistance]

DUDE you can't just say you almost died and then not elaborate. like ??? what???

i forgot that this was in my ask box so without context this is so so funny

#anyways yes ! i nearly did when i was born #very boring answer: i had a congential defect to do with my trachea and oesophagus and it was p serious for a while! #not very exciting but i now have an epic and cool 5 inch long scar on my back from when they had to fix it #asks
