A woman in her 20s presented to our clinic with a lower gastrointestinal infection. When we administered intravenous antibacterial and vitamin infusions, she developed anaphylaxis. We performed skin tests to investigate the cause, and an intradermal test was positive for a 1% intravenous vitamin complex.

Background: Sarcopenic dysphagia is a swallowing disorder due to sarcopenia involving the whole-body skeletal muscles and swallowing muscles. This scoping review aimed to explore the currently known information on the diagnosis and treatment of sarcopenic dysphagia and to clarify the types of research required to develop the field.
Methods: We searched the PubMed, MEDLINE, CINAHL, and Cochrane databases from their inception to October 2020, using the search terms "(sarcopenia or sarcopenic or myopenia or dynapenia) and (dysphagia or swallowing or deglutition) and (diagnosis or treatment)".

Patient Palatal lift prostheses (PLPs) are used for dysarthria caused by velopharyngeal incompetence (VPI) and improving hypernasal speech. In this case, we used a PLP with a flexible lift (f-PLP) in a patient with dysphagia associated with VPI due to right-sided cranial nerve injuries after a skull base surgery. We examined its efficacy in swallowing biomechanics and swallowing function using high-resolution manometry (HRM) and videofluoroscopic examination of swallowing (VF).

Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate digastric muscle mass and intensity between no sarcopenic dysphagia and sarcopenic dysphagia.
Methods: Patients aged ≥65 years were enrolled. According to the diagnostic algorithm for sarcopenic dysphagia, the patients were divided into two groups, no sarcopenic dysphagia and sarcopenic dysphagia.

Recently, there has been clinical interest in the effect of different body positions on esophageal motility. This study aimed to identify the effect of three different body positions on esophageal motility using high-resolution manometry. Thirteen healthy adults swallowed 5 mL of water in the upright, supine, and bridge positions.

Tongue pressure is often used to evaluate swallowing muscle strength in dysphagia patients with sarcopenia. However, the amount of tongue pressure that reflects pharyngeal swallowing function is unclear. The aims of this descriptive study were (1) to assess the association between tongue pressure and swallowing function using high-resolution manometry (HRM), (2) to evaluate whether manometric parameters were related to maximum tongue pressure (MTP) and other sarcopenia-related factors, and (3) to evaluate the manometric characteristics of pharyngeal swallowing in sarcopenic dysphagia.
