Huge congrats to our undergraduate capstone students for absolutely crushing their poster presentations at the CAHS research forum last week!! Well done!

Advancing bedside swallowing assessments🧠✨ This study validates ultrasound as a reliable tool for tracking hyoid motion by directly comparing it with videofluoroscopy-the current gold standard-using simultaneous imaging from 23 participants and 56 swallows. With dynamic correction for transducer movement, ultrasound measurements showed strong agreement with videofluoroscopy, highlighting how even small probe motion (~0.37 cm) can impact accuracy if unaccounted for.

Huge credit to the authors of this work-whose collaborative efforts made this validation possible-and to the entire research team for pushing forward accessible, noninvasive approaches to studying swallowing physiology. Their work brings us closer to accurate, real-time bedside evaluation of swallowing function without relying solely on radiographic imaging.

Had a blast supporting our stroke team and survivors at the Heart Mini Marathon this weekend ❤️♥️❤️ Amazing cause, and perfect day!

What a gift to get to attend a society meeting with these amazing colleagues and friends! It’s always been a dream to have a strong representation from our home institution and this was our biggest year yet! Can’t wait for more to come …

Another podium this year was presented by Nicholas Schoenleb, a brilliant biomedical engineering student we've had the joy of collaborating with. He's gone above and beyond to grasp swallowing from both clinical and engineering angles! We're beyond proud of him! He absolutely crushed it. 🌟✨🙌🏼

Some moments from the poster sessions! This year our UC group had SIX scientific posters on display!! 👏🏆🔥 It’s been a whirlwind! We love poster sessions for the opportunity to dive deeper into discussions and get feedback on our work, generate new ideas, and even some collaborations!

The Department of Otolaryngology–Head & Neck Surgery at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine is looking for a Speech Language Pathologist to join our team!

🗣️ Work with patients with voice and swallowing disorders
