Tactile, thermal and gustatory stimulation therapy in the treatment of post-stroke oropharyngeal dysphagia: a scoping review.
Codas
January 2025
Departamento de Fonoaudiologia, Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina - UFSC - Florianópolis (SC), Brasil.
Purpose: To map in the literature the effects of tactile, thermal and/or gustatory stimulation on oropharyngeal dysphagia (OD) post-stroke.
Methods: This scoping review was conducted following the recommendations of PRISMA- ScR and the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI), registered on the Open Science Framework and developed without language or publication period restrictions. Different databases and grey literature were used for article selection, and the PCC mnemonics constructed the research question ad eligibility criteria, thus including clinical studies involving adults (over 18 years old) diagnosed with OD post-stroke, who received tactile-thermal (TTS) and/or taste-gustatory (TGS) and/or tactile-thermal-gustatory stimulation for treatment, and had their effect measured through examinations, scales, or clinical assessment.
How learning to read Braille in visual and tactile domains reorganizes the sighted brain.
Front Neurosci
January 2025
Laboratory of Brain Imaging, Nencki Institute of Experimental Biology, Polish Academy of Sciences, Warsaw, Poland.
Learning tactile Braille reading leverages cross-modal plasticity, emphasizing the brain's ability to reallocate functions across sensory domains. This neuroplasticity engages motor and somatosensory areas and reaches language and cognitive centers like the visual word form area (VWFA), even in sighted subjects following training. No study has employed a complex reading task to monitor neural activity during the first weeks of Braille training.

Objective: To identify, appraise and synthesize current evidence on different sensory-based interventions on delirium prevention in critically ill patients.
Data Sources: A comprehensive electronic literature search was performed in the PubMed, Embase, Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Health Literature, Cochrane Library, China Biology Medicine, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang and WeiPu databases from inception to 2 June 2022. The data were updated on 24 December 2022.
Challenges in the management of visual and tactile hallucinations in elderly people.
World J Psychiatry
January 2025
Division of Geriatric Psychiatry, Department of Psychiatry, Changhua Christian Hospital, Changhua 500, Taiwan.
This letter provides a concise review of the pertinent literature on visual and tactile hallucinations in elderly patients. The discussion addresses differential diagnoses and potential underlying mechanisms, as well as the psychopathology associated with tactile hallucinations, and emphasizes the necessity for investigation into the possibility of coexisting delusional infestation (parasitosis). These symptoms frequently manifest in patients with primary psychotic disorders, organic mental disorders, and substance use disorders.

Division of Vascular and Interventional Radiology, Department of Radiology, MedStar Georgetown University Hospital, Washington, DC; Georgetown University School of Medicine, Washington, DC; Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center, Washington, DC. Electronic address:
The integration of robotic systems in image-guided trans-arterial interventions has revolutionized the field of Interventional Radiology (IR), offering enhanced precision, safety, and efficiency. These advancements are particularly impactful for acute conditions such as stroke, pulmonary embolism, and STEMI, where timely intervention is critical. Robotic platforms like the CorPath GRX and Magellan allow for remote navigation and catheter-based interventions, making it possible to extend specialized services to remote and underserved areas.
