Back to Basics in Medical Speech Pathology: Why Simple Solutions Still Matter Most
Hey everyone! In today’s video, we’re pressing pause on the whirlwind of new research and technology in medical speech-language pathology. Instead, we’re rediscovering the power of the basics-the simple, time-tested strategies that often make the biggest difference in our patients’ lives.
Here’s what we’re covering:
1️⃣ Mastering the Fundamentals: Why knowing anatomy, physiology, and neuroanatomy is key to effective treatment.
2️⃣ Seeing the Whole Patient: Going beyond the diagnosis to address emotional, social, and physical well-being.
3️⃣ Advocating for Simple Solutions: The game-changing power of consistent oral care and standardized practices.
From real-life patient success stories to practical takeaways, this video is all about how the basics can have a profound impact on patient care.

Aspiration: What Does It Actually Do to the Lungs?
มุมมอง 139วันที่ผ่านมา

In this video, we’re diving into: 1️⃣ What happens to the lungs after aspiration (and why the consistency of what’s aspirated matters). 2️⃣ The pulmonary defenses that protect us against aspiration. 3️⃣ ...

Thank you ma'am
I have severe EoE , been on Dupixent for 1 yr, white blood cells no longer in my esophagus, but I’m having issues w/ aspiration daily now, which is causing shortness of breath for 15-30 mins post aspiration and I don’t know where to start. My GI Dr is booked out 9 months for the Endoflip test. Any general suggestions?
So smart and very beautiful lady! ❤ Thank you so much
the salient guidance for me working as a clinical speech therapist 👌🙏
I thought my autistic son aspirated his meds and I drove straight to the hospital, I was so scared of a dry drowning or whatever else can happen and he is non verbal so he couldn’t tell me anything. I was a mess but I kept it together so he wouldn’t be scared. It turned out to be fine but I didn’t want to take chances.
I'm 42, I've had aspiration pneumonia three times... potato every time... it's very unfun. But it was the clue that got my fibromyalgia diagnosis. No cure, but l now know what and why
Cant believe it thats it im going tell my doctor
No relief for me....done everything
Mom has dementia and she's just starting to have some problems with swallowing..it scares me what's ahead..i think she's about level 5 or 6
You are doing a great job! Can you help me with something unrelated? I have a SafePal wallet with USDT in it and I have my recovery phrase.『pride』-『pole』-『obtain』-『together』-『second』-『when』-『future』-『mask』-『review』-『nature』-『potato』-『bulb』. How do I transfer them to Binance?
The video is very interesting! Something I don't understand: I have USDT in my OKX wallet and I have the recovery phrase. 「pride」-「pole」-「obtain」-「together」-「second」-「when」-「future」-「mask」-「review」-「nature」-「potato」-「bulb」: How should I convert them into Bitcoin?

Do you get offended if someone calls you a Speech Therapist instead?
The title says dysphagia... The video says aphasia...
Thank you! We have updated it!

Ever seen a child have it as soon as they try to speak or try to speak? Like 1 -1/2 years old? I did.

Aphasia
Hi! You can join here: medslpcollective.com/invite
Hi Theresa My father and I live in Sydney, Australia. Dad is 90, vascular dementia, arthritis is lower back, hypothyroidism and enlarged prostate. From last July it was discovered that he was aspirating his food and drink. As a result he had aspiration pneumonia and was treated with antibiotics. Speech pathologists in the hospital prescribed thickener to be added to his drinks. And they said Dad should only eat mashed and soft foods. Despite what “modern medicine” says, I believe in my heart and soul that Dad’s conditions can be cured. And watching your video gave me hope that Dad’s dysphasia can be cured. As this is caused by vascular dementia, what specific exercises should he do to improve his swallowing? Please advise.
Radiation induced dysplasia.
So good!
This is such a validation! Thank you for posting this.
You're so welcome!
Hello! what are those proper questions we ask during bedside swallowing evaluation?
Great video! I love your hair and eyes!
Thank you so much!!
Is it true that GERD can also be caused by too weak stomach acid, which the sphincter doesn’t detect in time to close? If yes, are there any protocols to find out the cause of it?
Excellent information. Would NMES be appropriate for this population?
Don’t forget that LPR can also be present even if the throat looks normal as in my case when LPR came after a respiratory infection for me
My dad has alzheimer's any chokes.All the time.. They say there's nothing they can do, because he's too old to get a feeding tube. His sister choked to death that way
As a general dystonia patient..i say yes...
I found this to be exceedingly informative--thank you. The reason I tuned in is that I suspect I may have recently had either an infarct or hemorrhagic event based on a cluster of symptoms that showed up at around the same time last year (end of 2023) and that would correspond to a lesion in lateral medulla. I don't have dysphagia, but I do suffer central sleep apneas, blood pressure that became precariously elevated all of a sudden (210+/120+) left side facial numbness, hyperhidrosis (both sleep and gustatory) and several other oddities that all cropped up after I had what I thought was a severe migraine. I'd suffered these headaches for 12 years, but this last one also featured trigeminal pain, dizziness (I fell), vomiting, and a very weird olfactory aura. I am putting all the pieces together for my primary care physician and perhaps he will refer me to a neurologist, or he may just tell me not to worry and ignore me... not sure. Nevertheless, perhaps the weirdest part is that I had had these headaches more or less biweekly for over a decade, and this big one was the last. Nothing for 9 months. Glad, but very strange... I am a scientist with my PhD in neuroscience, which helps with familiarity for terminology, but I am most certainly not a clinician, which can be frustrating :). I am just hoping to learn whether I ought to be put on a blood-thinning protocol etc. because I would really hate for a follow up that was more severe... Anyway, thank you for this and similar. You're a talented lecturer. I appreciate all the hard work you've put in.
Thank you! This is so helpful! I'm a speech therapy student in the UK - we never learnt about them at uni 😂
You are welcome!!
Hello, I had a barium swallow to access occasional sternum discomfort and it revealed diminished esophageal motility, though I did not have any type of pain or symptoms. I had the upper gi endoscopy done on Friday to look for any clues/damage. It was unremarkable and according the report went without any problems. I woke up with a terrible sore throat and difficulty swallowing (at the pharyngeal level) as well as it painful to laugh or cough. It is now Monday. I was hoping it was related to trauma of some sort and will heal up, which I am still hoping for. Just wondering if you have any suggestions.
This is so encouraging. I thought for sure I wanted to go into acute rehab before grad school. Then in grad school I wanted to do EI because I have several years of experience with 0-4 year olds. Then I LOVED my medical placement at an acute care hospital during my last semester in grad school. Now I’m searching for CF jobs and was recently offered positions at a private practice and a SNF and I worry about not being able to transition back in forth if I find out it’s not for me. Thanks for sharing your experience! It really makes me feel as though I’m not going to be stuck if I end up not living where I start as a CF.
I did all of this and the only symptom Im still left with is only globus it has diminished but every time I swallow pills or food I feel the texture of the food and pills sitting in my throat I guess its the crycopharengeal muscle contracting too much to prevent acid coming up I'd give anything to rid of this horrible sensation it is very difficult to treat Ive seen several specialists laryngologists ents etc but no one knows a definite treatment for it
Hi did you have your or food texture that was not normal such as meat or fibrous vegetables?
@@paz8179 any kind of hard food I feel no matter what except liquid only solids and pills
Strokes are scary
All i know is that evidence is the most important thing in proof
thank youuu amaizing
You are welcome!
