This trio of SIG 13 articles provides information regarding managing and treating
dysphagia with adult patients. First, Abrams and co-authors underscore the importance
of hydration and discovered that individuals consuming thickened liquids are often at risk
for dehydration. Factors to increase fluid intake through different strategies are
discussed. Next, Arguello and Kerr discuss the mechanism of a facial burn injury and
how it may cause functional impairments that can be directly impacted through early
intervention utilizing speech-language pathology services. Finally, Warner and
colleagues completed a pilot study investigating the prevalence of pretreatment
dysphagia in oncologic patients and individual factors influencing post treatment
dysphagia.
