Introduction: Normal response to multiple rapid swallows (MRS) during high-resolution esophageal manometry is deglutitive inhibition; opioids may interfere with this. The aim of this study was to evaluate the response to MRS in patients on opioids, not on opioids, and healthy controls.
Methods: Response to MRS was evaluated for complete vs impaired inhibition in 72 chronic opioid users, 100 patients not on opioids, and 24 healthy controls.
Results: Impaired deglutitive inhibition was significantly more frequent in chronic opioid users compared with patients not on opioids and healthy controls (54% vs 14% vs 0%; P < 0.0001).
Discussion: Impaired deglutitive inhibition during MRS is frequent in opioid users, supporting that opioids interfere with esophageal inhibitory signals.

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.

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.

Gastroesophageal refluxes (GERs) are universal in newborns and may induce deleterious consequences, especially in preemies. We have previously shown that nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) inhibits GERs in full-term lambs, complementing similar results in adult humans. The effect of high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) on GERs, however, remains unknown.

Article Synopsis
- The coordination of swallowing phases is primarily managed by the brainstem, but also relies on peripheral feedback from the esophagus.
- The esophageal phase of swallowing depends on signals from mucosal tension receptors, which are influenced by the bolus and involve different neural pathways.
- Inhibitory processes, like deglutitive inhibition, ensure that new swallowing events do not obstruct ongoing peristaltic waves, highlighting the complex interaction between different swallowing phases.
