Severe dysphagia leads to mortality in older patients and hinders their discharge from hospitals. The temporal flat lateral position (TFLP) enables them to continuously eat, thus resolving the aforementioned issues. We aimed to explore the effect of TFLP on the mortality and discharge rates of older patients with severe dysphagia.

Article Synopsis
- Capsular warning syndrome (CWS) involves repeated motor and/or sensory deficits without cortical symptoms, and the study aimed to find safe treatments to prevent full strokes.
- The researchers analyzed hospital records to identify patients with fluctuating neurological symptoms, excluding those with incomplete treatment details.
- The findings showed that single antiplatelet therapy couldn't stabilize symptoms in CWS patients, but using multiple antiplatelet drugs effectively managed the episodes, highlighting the importance of this approach while considering potential bleeding risks.
