Abstract

The article "Dysphagia: Focus in Diagnosis" discusses the importance of diagnosing and managing swallowing disorders, particularly dysphagia, which can significantly impact an individual's quality of life. Various protocols and tools, such as the MD Anderson Dysphagia Inventory and the Eating Assessment Tool, are used to assess the impact of dysphagia on patients. The involvement of multiple medical professionals, including speech therapists, neurologists, and gastroenterologists, is often necessary for a comprehensive evaluation and treatment plan. The article emphasizes the significance of early diagnosis and management of dysphagia, especially in an aging population, to mitigate its adverse effects on patients' health and well-being.
