Factors Associated with Food Form in Long-Term Care Insurance Facilities

alwin shared this article with you from Inoreader Factors Associated with Food Form in Long-Term Care Insurance Facilities Via Dysphagia We examined factors related to dietary intake status (food form) of long-term care facility (LTCF) residents to identify factors related to proper food form choice for older individuals requiring nursing care. We surveyed 888 residents from 37 LTCFs in Japan. We evaluated basic information (age, sex, body mass index [BMI]), food form (swallowing-adjusted diet class), Barthel Index (BI), Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR), simply evaluated eating and swallowing functions, the number of present/functional teeth, oral diadochokinesis, repetitive saliva swallowing test (RSST), and modified water swallowing test. To clarify factors associated with food form, participants who had good nutrition by oral intake were categorized into the dysphagic diet (DD) and normal diet (ND) groups. Multi-level anal...

Does Medialization Improve Swallowing Function in Patients with Unilateral Vocal Fold Paralysis? A Systematic Review

alwin shared this article with you from Inoreader Does Medialization Improve Swallowing Function in Patients with Unilateral Vocal Fold Paralysis? A Systematic Review Via Dysphagia The objective of this systematic review was to determine the impact of vocal fold medialization on dysphagia outcomes. Six electronic bibliographic databases and one clinical trial registry were searched on 3/13/2020. Our patient population were adult patients with verified UVFP that underwent vocal fold medialization. We limited review to prospective studies that had formal dysphagia assessment both before and after medialization. Nine studies met selection criteria (7 prospective case series and 2 prospective cohort studies) totaling 157 patients. The most common etiology of UVFP was iatrogenic (74/157; 47%). The majority of patients underwent injection augmentation (92/157; 59%), and the remaining underwent medialization thyroplasty. A variety of methods were used to assess changes in d...

A New Therapeutic Approach for Dystussia and Atussia in Neurogenic Dysphagia: Effect of Aerosolized Capsaicin on Peak Cough Flow

alwin shared this article with you from Inoreader A New Therapeutic Approach for Dystussia and Atussia in Neurogenic Dysphagia: Effect of Aerosolized Capsaicin on Peak Cough Flow Via Dysphagia AbstractSwallowing and cough are crucial components of airway protection. In patients with neurogenic dysphagia (ND), there is a high prevalence of dystussia (impaired cough) and atussia (absence of cough). As a result, the ability to detect and remove aspirated material from the airway decreases, exacerbating the sequelae associated with ND, including aspiration pneumonia, a leading cause of mortality in ND. This controlled intervention study aimed to quantify the cough response to aerosolized capsaicin (AC) in patients with ND and assess the potential of AC as a therapeutic tool in treating ND-related dystussia and atussia. Furthermore, we propose a novel application method that enables AC treatment to be performed at home. Spirometry was used to measure peak cough flow (PCF) of voluntar... View on the web Inoreader.

Evaluation of Dysphagia in Motor Neuron Disease. Review of Available Diagnostic Tools and New Perspectives

alwin shared this article with you from Inoreader Evaluation of Dysphagia in Motor Neuron Disease. Review of Available Diagnostic Tools and New Perspectives Via Dysphagia AbstractOropharyngeal dysphagia (OD) is highly prevalent (up to 80%) in patients with motor neuron disease (MND), influencing the prognosis of the disease. The clinical assessment of dysphagia is complex. There are assessment scales and screening questionnaires, but they have not been tested in patients with MND. In a sample of 46 patients with MND, the sensitivity and specificity of the EAT-10 and SwalQoL questionnaires, as well as the ALS-SS and FOIS scales, were tested and compared to the gold standard technique (videofluoroscopy, VFS). The patients were stratified using the DOSSc variable according to the video fluoroscopic examination with (n = 37) or without (n = 8) signs of dysphagia, and the results were compared with the scores obtained in the dysphagia questionnaires.

Protective effects of the notoginsenoside R1 on acute lung injury by regulating the miR-128-2-5p/Tollip signaling pathway in rats with severe acute pancreatitis

alwin shared this article with you from Inoreader Protective effects of the notoginsenoside R1 on acute lung injury by regulating the miR-128-2-5p/Tollip signaling pathway in rats with severe acute pancreatitis Via Innate Immunity In this study, we explored the pulmonary protective effect and the underlying mechanism of the NG-R1 on rats with ALI induced by severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). MiR-128-2-5p, ERK1, Tollip, HMGB1, TLR4, IκB, and NF-κB mRNA expression levels were measured using real-time qPCR, and TLR4, Tollip, HMGB1, IRAK1, MyD88, ERK1, NF-κB65, and P-IκB-α protein expression levels using Western blot. The NF-κB and the TLR4 activities were determined using immunohistochemistry, and TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β, and ICAM-1 levels in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) using ELISA. Lung histopathological changes were observed in each group. NG-R1 treatment reduced miR-128-2-5p expression in the lung tissue, increased Tollip expression, inhibited HMGB1, TLR4, TRAF6, IRAK1, MyD88, NF-κB65, and p-IκB-α ex... View on the web Inoreader.

Are Bacteria Just Bystanders in the Pathogenesis of Inflammatory Jaw Conditions?

alwin shared this article with you from Inoreader Are Bacteria Just Bystanders in the Pathogenesis of Inflammatory Jaw Conditions? Via Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery It is unclear whether certain bacteria initiate the development of inflammatory jaw conditions, or whether these diseases create a milieu for dysbiosis and secondary colonization of indigenous flora. At present, there are no comparative studies on the types of bacteria that colonize different inflammatory jaw conditions. Accordingly, this study aims to identify and compare the types of bacteria isolated in osteomyelitis, osteoradionecrosis, and MRONJ.
