Oropharyngeal dysphagia is a highly prevalent post-stroke complication commonly associated with topographically specific gray-matter damage. In contrast, the role of damage to the extensive white matter brain network (leukoaraiosis) in post-stroke oropharyngeal dysphagia has not yet been clarified. We aim to assess the role of leukoaraiosis in post-stroke oropharyngeal dysphagia.

We aimed to assess effect of sensory (SES) and motor (NMES) transcutaneous electrical stimulation (TES) on safety of swallow and clinical outcomes in patients with CPSOD in a one-year follow-up randomized controlled trial.

We studied the effect of age and gender on spontaneous swallowing frequency (SSF) in healthy volunteers and assessed basal SSF and TRPV1 stimulation effect on SSF in patients with post-stroke oropharyngeal dysphagia (OD). The effect of age and gender on SSF was examined on 141 healthy adult volunteers (HV) divided into three groups: GI-18-39 yr, GII-40-59 yr, and GIII->60 yr.

- Fecal incontinence (FI) is a common issue for women, impacting their quality of life, and this study evaluates the effectiveness of four treatments: Kegel exercises, biofeedback, electrostimulation, and neuromodulation.
- A randomized trial involved 150 women with FI, measuring clinical severity, quality of life, and several physiological parameters before and after a 3-month treatment period.
- All treatments significantly improved the severity of FI and quality of life, but they influenced specific physiological responses differently, indicating that tailored approaches may be beneficial for individual patients.
