The language emergence during the last one million years is the success of the use of oral nutritive and breathing functional organs, which existed several hundred million years ago. But two new neurogenomic innovations were also necessary: The genesis of pneumo-laryngo-glossal Broca praxic area, associated to FOXP2 gene, and the brain connectome. The last one has connected, thanks to its network, the Broca area to these two vital functions, feeding orality and respiration, by using their motor pyramidal and cortico-nuclear ways already constituted. These connections have given the language its efficiency of sonor laryngeal emission and oral articulation. The baby cry precedes from 18 months the language beginning, and is produced by the same motor neurologic connectomic organization that future language. To eat, to breath, and to cry, to speak, to sing constitute a neuro-functional and temporal filiation of Evolution since the first early vertebrates. To eat, then to breath, then to cry have constituted the language founding parentage.

A literature review was conducted of epipharyngeal abrasive therapy (EAT) in the treatment of chronic epipharyngitis, focusing on the mechanism of action by autonomic nerve stimulation. The mechanism of action of EAT in stimulating the immune system has recently become clear. However, the mechanism of action of EAT on the autonomic nervous system remains to be elucidated.

Article Synopsis
  • This study investigated how heat stress affects the behavior of Holstein dairy cows and the potential benefits of a specific electrolyte blend.
  • The trial involved 84 cows, split into treatment and control groups, monitored using sensors to track various behavioral parameters like activity levels and eating time.
  • Results showed that treated cows maintained medium activity despite rising temperatures, and while eating time decreased with heat stress, this reduction was less pronounced in treated cows, suggesting some effectiveness of the treatment in managing heat stress.

Purpose: Rodent models suggest that when respiratory demands increase during an exercise program, tongue and thyroarytenoid muscles engage to maintain a patent airway, leading to increased muscle strength. This suggests that nonspecific exercises that increase respiratory rate may improve swallowing. As such, the purpose of this proof-of-principle study was to determine the potential for whole-body exercise to improve tongue strength, cough strength, and self-reported swallowing function in older adults with Parkinson's disease (PD).

Objective: Current treatments for eating disorders have limited effectiveness, leaving over half of patients unremitted. The evaluation of emerging interventions to support recovery is therefore critical. This study evaluated the efficacy and acceptability of an innovative, virtual intervention for eating disorders (Eat Breathe Thrive; EBT-R).

Children face the excitement of a changing world but also encounter environmental threats to their health that were neither known nor suspected several decades ago. Children are at particular risk of exposure to pollutants that are widely dispersed in the air, water, and food. Children and adolescents are exposed to chemical, physical, and biological risks at home, in school, and elsewhere.
