[Dysphagia] conundrum re:estim

[Jai.Gupta at SESIAHS.HEALTH.NSW.GOV.AU (Jai Gupta)]

Hi Barbara there are papers showing it works also ...Meta-analysis on this topic by Mann-Carnaby et al is in press, should be out soon ...I attended her seminar last month in Sydney.. ..shows clearly that one has to be careful comparing oranges with apples ...and that estim with strict controls and selection guidelines can bear good fruits....

Read the Jan issue of Dysphagia -article by Suitor et all on estim showing
it did not work. Also read the on line article in Dysphagia by Humbert,
Ludlow, sonies et al also showing that it lowers the hyolaryngeal complex.
