Most of the 2008 second edition remains current, but enough had changed in a few crucial areas of swallowing disorders that a new edition was undertaken. In particular, new information is provided on bedside swallow evaluation, noninvasive instruments sometimes used in these evaluations, and surveys and rating scales common used in dysphagia practice. Speech pathologists and otolaryngologists discuss such topics as neurogenic dysphagia, nursing evaluation and care of the dysphagic patient, pediatric clinical feeding assessment, radiographic evaluation of the pharynx and esophagus, and objective measures and normative data in adults. The disk contains an animated tutorial that demonstrates techniques, and fluoroscopy studies for review and measurement. Annotation ©2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
