    Cranial Nerves

    Are there foundational principles that ALL SLPs should know about cranial nerve testing? Are we are checking off a list of nerves we've probed or are we tying behaviors we see back to function? What about relevance to the central nervous system? Dr. Kendrea Garand joins hosts Ianessa Humbert and Alicia Vose in a discussion about how to conduct and interpret cranial nerves among SLPs.

    #SLPsofemale

    96.3% of Speech Language Pathologist self-identify as female. In this episode of Down the Hatch Podcast, we are joined by 4 male SLPs to discuss the female dominance of our profession. Our guests Ryan Bransky, Rick McAdoo, Dan Weinstein, and Anthony Avitabile engage in a deep, tangential discussion (trigger warning: strong language at times). But rest assured that our conversation eventually touches on many points that, at some point, you all may have considered. Does it matter that we are so heavily female dominated? Would patients be served better with more male SLPs? Would we earn more money, more respect with more male colleagues? Listen to our opinions and, please, share yours!

  4. Swallowing Sensation and Perception

    07/28/2020

    Swallowing Sensation and Perception

    Sensation is largely overlooked in swallowing science and clinical practice. Why? It's difficult to test and to interpret! In this episode of Down the Hatch (The Swallowing Podcast), special guest Rachel Mulheren, Ph.D., discusses sensation as it relates to swallowing. How are sensation and perception different? How do we use cranial nerve sensory testing to make clinical decisions about swallowing behavior? Can we learn about sensation during videofluoroscopic studies? Although swallowing sensation is poorly understood, we attempt to address these questions and more in this discussion.

    Experience Dependent Plasticity in Dysphagia Management

    Do you decide which patients will have swallowing therapy or modified diets? Are you aware of your role in modifying Experience Dependent Plasticity as a clinician managing swallowing impairments? In this episode of Down the Hatch (Swallowing Podcast), co-hosts Ianessa Humbert and Alicia Vose continue the Swallowing Neurophysiology Series and discuss Experience Dependent Plasticity in dysphagia management with Dr. Phoebe Macrae.

  6. Swallowing Neural Control: 101

    Swallowing Neural Control: 101

    Back by popular demand, Down the Hatch’s Swallowing Physiology Series is now focused on neural control! In our Swallowing NEUROPhysiology Series, hosts Drs. Ianessa Humbert and Alicia Vose focus on concepts related to the central nervous system, not just because it controls swallowing, but also because it is among the most poorly understood and highly requested topics among those who aim to learn more about swallowing. In this installment, we move beyond the peripheral nervous system (cranial nerves) and introduce concepts that include cranial nerve nuclei and central pattern generators within the brainstem that are essential to swallowing.

  7. COVID Era and SLP dysphagia practice

    COVID Era and SLP dysphagia practice

    The Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has drastically changed health care practice around the world. Many medical speech language pathologists are uncertain about how and whether to continue managing patients with swallowing impairments (dysphagia), and if so... whom? In this episode of Down the Hatch, special guests with expertise in swallowing research and clinical practice discuss questions that center around whether SLPs are essential practitioners at this critical time.

  8. Re-release: Dysphagia Documentation Dilemma

    Re-release: Dysphagia Documentation Dilemma

    There were some issues with the original release of this eposide, so this is a re-release: Original description: It happens every time. A particular question is posed by one member of an audience of speech language pathologists who treat dysphagia. The question is cautious with a hint of frustration: How do I deal with inadequate modified barium swallow study reports from other speech language pathologists? In this Down the Hatch #9 (Swallowing Podcast), Alicia Vose and I discuss dysphagia documentation dilemmas for the evaluating clinicians who conduct modified barium swallow studies and write reports and for the treating clinicians who rely on the reports from evaluating clinicians to guide the treatment plan for patients in their care. SLP clinician experts Michele Singer and Nicole Roth weigh in to add immediate clinical relevance to this critical, and somewhat controversial, clinical topic.
