A prospective assessment of the characteristics of dysphagia in myasthenia gravis.

abstract：:Infants < 51 weeks post-menstrual age (< 51 PMA) are often referred for modified barium swallow (MBS) studies for suspected silent aspiration (SA) given a possible association between SA and aspiration pneumonia. Infants this young are unlikely to have developed a mature laryngeal cough reflex, most likely rendering S...
