Background: Cilostazol has reported effectiveness for preventing aspiration pneumonia in patients with ischemic stroke, but whether it is similarly beneficial for patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) is unclear.
Methods And Results: This retrospective single-center study enrolled 1,368 CLTI patients treated with endovascular therapy (EVT). In the multivariate analysis, predictors for aspiration pneumonia were age (hazard ratio [HR] 1.06 [95% confidence interval (CI) 1.03-1.10]), non-ambulatory status (HR 2.54 [95% CI 1.38-4.65]), the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (HR 0.97 [95% CI 0.95-0.99]), and cilostazol (HR 0.37 [95% CI 0.16-0.87]).
Conclusions: Cilostazol administration reduced the risk of aspiration pneumonia in patients with CLTI undergoing EVT.

Background: Mealtimes are a fundamental part of life; eating and drinking well is vital for health well-being. People living with dementia are at increased risk of eating and drinking difficulties, and may experience difficulties at mealtimes due to the cognitive component of this condition. Such difficulties are prevalent in care homes, where people living with dementia are often dependent on carers at mealtimes.

College of Nursing, Kanto Gakuin University, Yokohama, JPN.
High-flow nasal oxygen therapy (HFNO) is highly versatile and employed in varied situations, including after extubation, in cases of respiratory failure, and at the end of life. However, its impact on swallowing function is not yet elucidated. Therefore, this scoping review aimed to clarify how HFNO affects swallowing function and whether it poses a risk for aspiration pneumonia.

Purpose: This mini-review discusses the clinical implication of respiratory pathogens in the biofilm on acrylic resin removable dentures in the elderly.
Methods: A search was conducted using the keywords: "dentures", " acrylic resin", "biofilm", "pneumonia", "elderly", "respiratory pathogens", and "respiratory diseases" in databases PubMed/Medline, Lilacs, SciELO and textbooks between 1999 and 2024.
Results: The elderly are more susceptible to chronic diseases and/or life-threatening infections because of senescence itself and functional and degenerative alterations.
Prevention and Management of Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve Palsy in Minimally Invasive Esophagectomy: Current Status and Future Perspectives.
J Clin Med

Department of Surgery, Tohoku University Graduate School of Medicine, 2-1 Seiryo-machi, Aoba-ku, Sendai 980-8575, Miyagi, Japan.
Recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy remains a significant complication following minimally invasive esophagectomy for esophageal cancer. Despite advancements in surgical techniques and lymphadenectomy precision, the incidence of recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy has not been improved. Recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy predominantly affects the left side and may lead to unilateral or bilateral vocal cord paralysis, resulting in hoarseness, dysphagia, and an increased risk of aspiration pneumonia.
