Deglutitive inhibition attenuates ongoing esophageal contractions if swallows are separated by short time intervals. This study aimed to determine whether esophageal shortening, mediated by longitudinal muscle, was similarly affected. Eight healthy subjects with two distal esophageal segments demarcated by mucosal clips and manometric recording sites positioned within those segments underwent concurrent manometry and fluoroscopy. Peristaltic amplitude and change in distal segment lengths were quantified during single swallows, paired swallows separated by progressively prolonged intervals, and a series of rapid repetitive swallows. During grouped swallows, deglutitive inhibition with complete attenuation of both the manometric contraction and segment shortening was evident with short-interval swallows and rapid-sequence swallows. No inhibition of either was evident with long-interval pairs. With intermediate interswallow intervals, the occurrence and degree of deglutitive inhibition between peristaltic amplitude and segment shortening were closely correlated. Deglutitive inhibition affects both the longitudinal and circular muscle layers of the esophageal wall, and the occurrence of inhibition evident in one layer is strongly correlated with the other.

The decline in physiological functions caused by aging increases the prevalence of dysphagia. Anthocyanins play a dual role in enhancing the nutrition of the food and influencing its swallowing properties. The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of anthocyanins from purple red rice bran on the viscosity, rheological and textural properties, and IDDSI classification of rice starch-based dysphagia food masses.

Background: Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is a high-risk factor for dementia and dysphagia; therefore, early intervention is vital. The effectiveness of intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS) targeting the right dorsal lateral prefrontal cortex (rDLPFC) remains unclear.
Methods: Thirty-six participants with MCI were randomly allocated to receive real (n = 18) or sham (n = 18) iTBS.

Dysphagia foods are designed for individuals with swallowing difficulties to consume safely. Texture-modified diets have become essential in dysphagia management. This study aimed to assess the safety and effectiveness of bovine tendon collagen (BTC) as a texture modifier to alter the starch gel network through a synergistic effect with cassava starch (CS), enhancing its application in dysphagia foods.

Article Synopsis
- - The swallow process in feeding is controlled by complex sensorimotor mechanisms, but the detailed molecular and circuit-level workings are still not well understood.
- - Researchers found that mutations in certain mechanotransduction channel genes disrupt the pumping rhythm of the cibarium (feeding structure) in fruit flies, affecting their ability to manage food intake properly.
- - Multi-dendritic mechanosensory neurons play a key role in regulating the filling and emptying of the cibarium, with connections established between these neurons and the motor circuits that control swallowing, enhancing our understanding of how mechanosensation affects swallowing.

Sensations of the internal state of the body play crucial roles in regulating the physiological processes and maintaining homeostasis of an organism. However, our understanding of how internal signals are sensed, processed, and integrated to generate appropriate biological responses remains limited. Here, we show that the C.
