A 30-year-old healthy woman suddenly developed uncontrollable chest oppression in the mid-chest; cardiovascular abnormalities were suspected. Esophageal food impaction, known as "steakhouse syndrome," is a condition in which food is consumed too fast and remains stuck in the esophagus.

Oral Diadochokinesis and Potential Associated Factors in Japanese Older Adult Outpatients.
Oral Health Prev Dent
December 2024
Article Synopsis
- This study examined oral diadochokinesis (ODK), a measure of oral motor skills, in Japanese adults aged 65 and older, focusing on how various factors like age and social engagement influence ODK results.
- Conducted with 127 dental outpatients, the research assessed multiple aspects of oral function—such as tongue pressure and swallowing ability—finding significant differences in ODK across age groups and various associations related to dental health and social factors.
- The findings suggest that improving ODK could enhance overall oral health and life quality for older adults, and the study recommends integrating ODK assessments into regular dental evaluations.

The difficulty in swallowing is a frequent problem when oral solid dosage forms (conventional tablets or capsules) are administered to paediatric population or patients with dysphagia. An interesting alternative to overcome these problems are non-conventional formulations like chewable gels, commonly known as 'gummies'. Therefore, this work addresses the design, development and characterization of gummies using gelatine and pectin, for the vehiculization of the antiarrhythmic amiodarone (AMIO).

Background: The state of food comminution caused by chewing is an important factor triggering the swallowing reflex. However, the impact of retronasal aroma released from comminuted food to the nose upon swallowing during food intake is poorly understood.
Objective: The present study investigated the relationship between aroma concentration and swallowing threshold while chewing a standardised test food.
