Providing Swallowing Diagnostics in North Dakota

Providing mobile flexible endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES) throughout the state of North Dakota
Fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES) is a high quality, comprehensive instrumental dysphagia assessment. North Dakota Speech and Swallowing Specialists uses portable technology that allows assessments to be conducted at the patient's bedside, in long-term care facilities, in hospitals, or in an otolaryngologist's office. The bottom line, we provide your patient with an evidence-based, cost effective, live video, that is a GOLD STANDARD in swallowing diagnostics.

If you have dysphagia or other types of swallowing or speech problems, you may benefit from comprehensive swallow diagnostics in North Dakota. When it comes to studying swallowing disorders, we use specialized equipment to get an up-close look at what exactly happens when you eat, drink, breathe, and speak. While these processes are relatively simple for many people, for those with dysphagia it can be an uncomfortable, embarrassing, or even dangerous process.
At North Dakota Speech and Swallowing Specialists, we provide reliable swallow studies for patients in many different locations. FEES (fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing) is now the first-choice method for studying swallowing disorders in adults because it is cost-effective, timely, and less invasive. We use sensitive, accurate, portable, and safe instrumentation that provides anatomical and physiological information. These results inform the development of individual treatment and compensatory strategies for dysphagia. Additionally, FEES eliminates the need for radiation exposure and provides a digital recording of the procedure.
Dysphagia is a condition in children and adults that can make it difficult to eat, drink, speak, and breathe. Although chewing and swallowing may seem like a relatively simple process, there are three main phases during which patients may experience difficulty:
Oral Phase – Sucking, chewing, and moving food and liquid into the throat
Pharyngeal Phase – Beginning to swallow and move food down the throat, closing the airway to prevent food and liquid from entering the lungs
Esophageal Phase – Opening and closing the esophagus to squeeze food down to the stomach
When it comes to studying swallowing disorders, we use specialized equipment to examine each phase of the swallowing process. There are many potential causes of dysphagia including stroke, brain or spinal cord injury, chronic conditions, neck injuries, and mouth or neck surgery. With swallow diagnostics, your medical team can help determine the cause of your difficulties and possible solutions to make your life easier.
Examining the throat and a patient’s ability to swallow can be done by two methods: FEES and MBSS. Modified barium swallow studies, or MBSS, uses radioactive barium-coated food to track movement through the mouth, throat, and into the stomach. It must be conducted on an upright patient in a special location with multiple medical specialists. It can be an incredibly stressful and taxing event, especially for patients who are already ill or dealing with injuries or recent surgeries. When it comes to FEEs vs. MBSS, most patients prefer our method because it can be done at their bedside or any other location as the equipment is mobile, doesn’t require exposure to radiation, and is as accurate or more accurate than MBSS.

There are seven native types of swallows found in North America. Swallows are common throughout the continent. The Barn Swallow,
Bank Swallow, Cliff Swallow and Tree Swallow can be seen from the Atlantic coast to the Pacific coast and into northern Canada
and Alaska. The Northern Rough-winged Swallow is seen throughout the USA and all of the southern provinces of Canada.
The Violet-green Swallow has a range on the western coast, from Alaska to Mexico and along the Rocky Mountains. The Cave Swallow
has the smallest range and can be found along the southern perimeters of New Mexico and Texas with a small colony in southern
Florida. The Bahama Swallow is a vagrant swallow and is sometimes seen in the southern regions of Florida.

The swallows feed on insects and these acrobatic birds catch their prey as they manoeuvre through the air. They are mostly found
near water and most swallow species build their nests from mud. The exception to this is the Bank Swallow, who prefers to burrow into
the sides of sandbanks. The Tree Swallow and Violet-green Swallow, prefer to nest in the cavities of trees and posts and they use
manmade birdhouses, when given the opportunity.

These are links to websites pertaining to the different birding institutions, societies and organizations here in North America. Some of these
same sites are a great asset to seeking out knowledge on birds in other regions of the world. Each of these links offer the user different methods to identify birds,
whether it be by regions, habitat, appearance or maybe colour. Knowledge on the possibilities of where and what birds might be present are included.
Hinterland Who's Who
Welcome to the Web site for Hinterland Who's Who
It all started in 1963, with black-and-white vignettes about the loon, the moose, the gannet and the beaver. For more than 50 years, Hinterland WhoтАЩs Who has proudly
been bringing CanadaтАЩs iconic wildlife directly into CanadiansтАЩ homes. Re-launched in 2003, the new series serves to rebuild the connection thousands of viewers made
with wildlife through the original series. Welcome to our new website! Have a look around, and learn how you can help ensure that the wildlife remains part of what it
means to be Canadian.
Avibase - the world bird database This site provides the user
with a complete list of bird species, broken down per country, or in the example of the US or Canada, per state and province. Here, bird species names are
available in other languages, a great asset to be used as a translation of foreign bird names.
ABA - American Birding Association This site represents an organization that maintains
official records of all birds species that have been proven to have been seen inside the perimeters of the North American Continent and the surrounding bodies of
water. Regular revised versions are posted to keep the bird list current at all times. This is the list used by all serious birders over their lifetime. You may be
aware of the movie called the "Big Year". It was with this list that all the competing birders used in an attempt to set a new record as to how many bird species
that could be seen by an individual birder in one calendar year.
The description to follow is taken from the AOS Home Page.

AOS - The American Ornitholgy Society is an international society devoted to advancing
the scientific understanding of birds, enriching ornithology as a profession, and promoting a rigorous scientific basis for the conservation of birds. As one of the
world's oldest and largest ornithological societies, AOS produces scientific publications of the highest quality, hosts intellectually engaging and professionally
vital meetings, serves ornithologists at every career stage, pursues a global perspective, and informs public policy on all issues important to ornithology and
ornithological collections. AOS is distinguished by its tremendous collective expertise, including eminent scientists, conservation practitioners, early career
innovators, and students.
ABC - American Bird Conservancy This is an organization started in Europe and is now
formed in North America in the 1990's. It bases its goal on four approaches, Halt extinctions, Protect habitat, Eliminate threats and to Build capacity. One of their
ways of achieving these goals, is by purchasing and leasing lands around already protected lands and creating larger safe zones for all its habitants.
eBird - The Cornell Lab of Ornithology eBird is a must for any individual, who has
an interest in birds. This site allows users to sign up and participate in recording birds seen on a daily basis as well as the location, for any bird species seen in the
world. In addition, users can use the existing data to search out the location of bird species throughout the year. By using filters, information as to the movements
can be determined. Photos can be added to identify individual birds. Migration pattern can be calculated using information by months or years as needed. Range maps can
be verified, allowing the users to see where the presence of individual bird species are expected to be at certain times of the year.
NA - National Geographic The Society of National Geographic
provides some of the best books available for those who have an interest in birds. The book called "The Complete Birds of North America", is a book recommended
to be part of any birders library. This book covers all the native and vagrant species of birds seen on the North American Continent. It provides information on all the birds
listed on the ABA bird list. This book goes into great details, describing the individual species and their races. That aside, their website provides wonderful
information pertaining to many articles regarding nature.
NAC - National Audubon Society The National Audubon Society is the oldest organization in
North America. It was initially formed for the preservation of egrets and herons as well as waders, who were being hunted and killed, so their feathers could be used in the
clothing industry. Today, there are many chapters of the NAS all over the continent and all individual groups have a common goal, to educate the public. In doing
so, creating awareness of the birds and their plights. They were the driving force in promoting the original international laws, protecting migratory birds. Today,
their website has made information available on articles, images and sounds, relating to all the native birds seen in North America.
I hope you will take advantage of these suggested websites. I have used each of them, in one way or another, throughout the years in my quest to better identify
and understand our fine feathered friends.
