Abstract Dementia is reported to be the overall fourth leading non-communicable cause of death, and accounted for almost two million deaths worldwide (3.5% of the total number) in 2016. Dysphagia and aspiration pneumonia secondary to dementia are the two most serious comorbidities. As the dementia progresses and the severity of an individual’s dysphagia increases, the question of whether to commence an artificial nutrition or allow a person to continue to eat and drink orally is...

Acotiamide appears to have a strong effect on motility of the gastrointestinal tract, including the esophagus. Therefore, combining acotiamide with PPI can be considered useful to improve upper abdominal symptoms in FD patients with heartburn who failed PPI treatment. Abstract Background Functional dyspepsia (FD) and non‐erosive reflux disease (NERD) are gastrointestinal disorders that often overlap. In this randomized, double‐blind, placebo‐controlled crossover study, the effects of adding...

Peppermint and caraway oils are widely used as alternative medical treatment of symptoms associated with functional gut disorder. We aimed to reveal their effects on human motility and secretion in vitro. Both oils had muscle inhibitory and pro‐secretory effects which were due to direct inhibition of smooth muscle and direct activation of epithelium. The effects on muscle and epithelial activity may contribute to the beneficial effects observed in patients with functional gut disorders. Abstract...

Abstract The purpose of this study was to conduct a quantitative analysis of the temporal and sequential events of the pharyngeal phase of swallowing in 45 poststroke patients who presented or did not present with supraglottic penetration and/or laryngotracheal aspiration and to compare the groups with each other and to a group of 46 patients with normal swallowing. All individuals were assessed by videofluoroscopy and the temporal and sequential measures for the swallowing of...

Abstract Lingual resistance training has been proposed as an intervention to improve decreased tongue pressure strength and endurance in patients with dysphagia. However, little is known about the impact of lingual resistance training on swallow physiology. This systematic review scrutinizes the available evidence regarding the effects of lingual resistance training on swallowing function in studies using Videofluoroscopic Swallowing Studies (VFSS) with adults. Seven articles met...

Rikkunshito, a traditional Kampo medicine, has shown efficacy to treat functional dyspepsia (FD) in controlled trials in Japan. In a randomized, placebo‐controlled, 4‐week treatment cross‐over study in Belgian FD patients, intragastric pressure was numerically, but not significantly, lower after rikkunshito compared with baseline and placebo. Early satiation and postprandial fullness decreased after rikkunshito compared to baseline. Rikkunshito was safe and well‐tolerated. Abstract Background...

In severe cutaneous burn injury, burn‐induced gastrointestinal dysmotility correlates with the systemic translocation of gram‐negative gut bacteria implicated in multiple organ failure. By improving the dysmotility, ghrelin abates the concomitant bacterial translocation. Abstract Background In severe burns, increased intestinal permeability facilitates bacterial translocation, resulting in systemic endotoxemia and multi‐organ failure. We investigated the role of burn‐induced gastrointestinal...

J Nutr Health Aging. 2018;22(9):1133-1137 Authors: Oommen ER, Kim Y Abstract OBJECTIVE: Lingual strengthening exercises are established to improve lingual function, thereby oral swallowing. This study measured submental muscle activation during maximum isometric pressure (MIP) lingual tasks in healthy adults, tasks that are or can be adopted in lingual strengthening exercises....

Exendin‐4, a glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptor agonist, normalizes stress‐induced defecation and improves visceral hypersensitivity without affecting centrally controlled behaviors in the Wistar Kyoto rat model of Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Abstract Background Glucagon‐like peptide‐1 (GLP‐1) is beneficial in relieving pain‐related symptoms of Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), a prevalent, multi‐factorial functional bowel disorder characterized by diarrhea and/or constipation, abdominal bloating,...

Abstract Patients surgically treated for oral cancer are affected by several underestimated deglutition disorders risk factors. This study aims to characterize the level of these food oral processing (FOP) impairments in a group of patients treated by surgery for tongue cancer. Twenty-seven consecutive patients surgically treated for tongue cancer were evaluated concerning their chewing capacity (Mastication-test), and responded to questions concerning their capacity to bite, chew...

Codeine‐induced changes in gastric motility, measured with a novel intragastric ballooncatheter, correlate well with changes in gastric emptying. Abstract Background The use of opioids as analgesic is on the rise, despite their inhibitory effect on gastric emptying. A novel feeding catheter with integrated intragastric balloon was developed to continuously assess gastric motility, enabling to investigate the effect of opioids on motility and emptying simultaneously. We aimed to discriminate...

By applying the novel 11C‐Donepezil PET/CT technique, we found that patients with type 1 diabetes and gastrointestinal symptoms had reduced cholinergic innervation of the gut and enlargement of the small intestinal wall. This non‐invasive method holds promise as a future technique for assessment of enteric neuropathy. Abstract Background 11C‐Donepezil positron emission tomography (PET) allows non‐invasive assessment of cholinergic innervation of visceral organs. We aimed to compare cholinergic...
