Objectives: For older adults, spending time out of bed is important for preventing functional decline, but its relationship to mortality is not clear. In this study, we aimed to investigate the association between mortality and time spent out of bed in Japanese older-adult nursing home residents.
Design: We conducted a cohort study using data from the Long-term Care Information System for Evidence database.
Background: Aspiration pneumonia, which often recurs due to dysphagia, worsens as patients move between homes, facilities, and hospitals. The impact of pre-hospital living setting on oral intake at discharge remains unclear. The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of the pre-hospital living setting on the nutritional intake route upon discharge in older patients with aspiration pneumonia.

This study aimed to investigate the association between malnutrition factors and dysphagia mediated by a decline in activities of daily living (ADL) among nursing home residents.
Methods: This cross-sectional study used data from 705 nursing home residents.
Article Synopsis
- Sleep apnea is common among stroke patients in rehabilitation, especially those with dysphagia, but its prevalence and impact in this setting haven't been well-studied.* -
- The study examined 196 stroke patients at a rehabilitation hospital in Japan to determine the prevalence and severity of sleep apnea and its relation to dysphagia.* -
- Results showed that 93.4% of participants who completed the sleep test had sleep apnea, with nearly all (95.7%) of those with dysphagia affected, indicating significant correlations with their functional intake levels and body mass index.*
Introduction: There is limited data concerning concomitant cardiac and lung surgery outcomes during lung transplantation (LTx). While some evidence suggests that cardiac surgery during LTx has no significant impact on surgical outcomes, scarce data examines the role of concomitant lung surgery (CLS). This study compares the survival outcomes of concomitant cardiac and lung surgeries during LTx.
