Dysphagia can be caused by many different underlying conditions. The assessment and management of dysphagia depend on each individual patient, often requiring a multidisciplinary approach. Structural cause of dysphagia can be dealt with using endoscopic interventions before the patient's general status deteriorates.

Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, University of Antwerp, Antwerp, Belgium.
Background: Radiotherapy (RT) in head and neck cancer (HNC) can cause multiple side effects such as nausea, pain, taste loss, fatigue, oral mucositis, xerostomia, and acute radiation-associated dysphagia (RAD). These factors threaten patients' oral intake (OI) during this RT. Reduced OI can cause weight loss, dehydration, malnutrition, and various comorbidities.

There is growing interest in developing protein-rich foods for the elderly using plant proteins. The application of soy protein isolate (SPI) as a model protein to create protein-rich, custard-like soft foods presents a unique opportunity for innovative formulations tailored to those within the aging population suffering from swallowing difficulties. This study investigated the physicochemical and textural properties of custard-type soft food formulations developed using SPI for dysphagic elderly individuals, with the goal of achieving characteristics similar to those of optimal milk protein-based counterparts.

Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery, The Second Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University, Suzhou, Jiangsu, 215008, China.
Background: The selection of an appropriate gastrointestinal (GI) reconstruction procedure after proximal gastrectomy (PG) has long been a challenge. Surgeons have had a long history of exploring anti-reflux gastroesophageal anastomosis. The aim of this article is to systematically summarize the anti-reflux principles of GI reconstructive procedures through a review of the previous literature and to provide a theoretical basis for clinicians to select or innovate procedures.
