what is the difference between dysphagia and odynophagia
painful difficulty
title: Dysphagia text: dehydration, malnutrition, and renal failure. Some signs and symptoms of oropharyngeal dysphagia include difficulty controlling food in the mouth, inability to control food or saliva in the mouth, difficulty initiating a swallow, coughing, choking, frequent pneumonia, unexplained weight loss, gurgly or wet voice after swallowing, nasal regurgitation, and dysphagia (patient complaint of swallowing difficulty). When asked where the food is getting stuck, patients will often point to the cervical (neck) region as the site of the obstruction. The actual site of obstruction is always at or below the level at which the level of obstruction is perceived. The most common title: Dysphagia text: entire esophagus, which results in functional narrowing of the lower esophagus, and peristaltic failure throughout its length. Complications of dysphagia may include aspiration, pneumonia, dehydration, and weight loss. Dysphagia is classified into the following major types: Following table enumerates possible causes of dysphagia: Difficulty with or inability to swallow may be caused or exacerbated by usage of opiate and/or opioid drugs. In people admitted to hospital, a bedside "water swallow test" is often performed to determine whether there might be need for more detailed swallowing assessment. The test is more reliable when larger amounts of fluid are used. When assessing title: Dysphagia text: Dysphagia Dysphagia is the medical term for the symptom of difficulty in swallowing. Although classified under "symptoms and signs" in ICD-10, the term is sometimes used as a condition in its own right. People with dysphagia are sometimes unaware of having it. It may be a sensation that suggests difficulty in the passage of solids or liquids from the mouth to the stomach, a lack of pharyngeal sensation or various other inadequacies of the swallowing mechanism. Dysphagia is distinguished from other symptoms including odynophagia, which is defined as painful swallowing, and globus, which is the sensation of a lump in title: Dysphagia text: in patients who have had strokes, and in patients who are admitted to acute care hospitals or chronic care facilities. Dysphagia is a symptom of many different causes, which can usually be elicited through a careful history by the treating physician. A formal oropharyngeal dysphagia evaluation is performed by a medical speech pathologist or occupational therapist. The word "dysphagia" is derived from the Greek "dys" meaning bad or disordered, and the root "phag-" meaning "eat". Dysphagia Dysphagia is the medical term for the symptom of difficulty in swallowing. Although classified under "symptoms and signs" in ICD-10, the term is sometimes title: Condylopyge text: "Condylopyge" is diminutive, with the headshield (or cephalon) and tailshield (or pygidium) of approximately the same size (or isopygous) and outline, and only two thorax segments. The characteristic sidewise expansion of the frontal lobe of the glabella, occipital structures instead of basal lobes, and a rhachis with three pairs of side lobes and a rear lobe differentiate Condylopygidae from all other agnostids. "Condylopyge" can easily be distinguished from its sister taxon "Pleuroctenium" because the frontal glabellar lobe does not wrap around the sides of the rear lobe, giving it a mushroom-like appearance. The frontal glabellar lobe is never dissected lengthwise,
