Chronic upper respiratory tract disease. Chronic (long-term) upper respiratory tract (URT) disease (also known as chronic nasal discharge) is a relatively common problem in cats, and can have many causes. The syndrome refers to chronic disease affecting the nose (nasal cavities) or the nasopharynx (the air passage immediately behind the nose).
Neural monitoring methods and systems for treating pharyngeal disorders
Methods and systems for monitoring, preventing and / or treating upper airway disorders such as apnea, dysphagia, reflux and / or snoring are described. The methods and systems monitor the upper airway disorders by processing one or more neural signals obtained from one or more upper airway afferents. Upper airway disorders are prevented and / or treated by delivering one or more stimulations to one or more reflex-related afferents, efferents, muscles, and sensory receptors to manipulate the threshold and / or trigger an upper airway reflex including, but not limited to a swallow reflex and / or a negative-pressure reflex.
