Evaluation of oropharyngeal deglutitive pressure dynamics in patients with Parkinson's disease.

In Parkinson's disease (PD), oropharyngeal dysphagia is common and clinically relevant. The neurophysiology of dysphagia in PD is complex and incompletely understood. The aim of the study was to determine the changes in oropharyngeal deglutitive pressure dynamics in PD and to correlate these with clinical characteristics including dysphagia and PD severity.

The Relationships Between Radiation Dosage and Long-term Swallowing Kinematics and Timing in Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma Survivors.

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) dosimetry and swallowing kinematic and timing measures. Thirteen kinematic and timing measures of swallowing from videofluoroscopic analysis were used as outcome measures to reflect swallowing function. IMRT dosimetry was accessed for thirteen swallowing-related structures.

Prognostic indicators of subacute combined degeneration from B12 deficiency: A systematic review.

Objective: A systematic review was conducted on published data of subacute combined degeneration (SCD) from B12 deficiency to investigate potential prognostic indicators of final ambulatory function in affected patients. TYPE: Systematic review.

Literature Survey: Records published from 1999 through 2018 were searched on the electronic databases MEDLINE, PUBMED, and SCOPUS.
