„Prost, Mahlzeit“ – Wenn das Schlucken nicht mehr funktioniert 2024

"Wissen|schaf(f)t Gesundheit" is a series of lectures organised by the Medical University of Innsbruck. Doctors and researchers present the current state of research to an interested public in appealing lectures in an understandable way.
Did you know that we all swallow once a minute? When we can no longer swallow - after a stroke or head and neck tumour surgery, for example - we realise how important this process is for our health and quality of life.

In her lecture, Simone Graf, Director of the University Clinic for Hearing, Voice and Speech Disorders, explains exactly what happens during swallowing, what the consequences of a swallowing disorder are and when surgical or speech therapy is advisable. The expert will also provide insights into new research projects currently underway in Innsbruck on the diagnosis of swallowing disorders.
Free admission, no registration required, admission from 18:00 in the main lecture theatre (Audimax), also available via livestream.
