Objective: To assess the efficacy of pharyngeal electrical stimulation in improving dysphagia post-stroke.
Design: A randomized, sham-controlled, blinded multicentre clinical trial.
Subjects/patients: Seventeen patients with acute ischaemic or haemorrhagic stroke experiencing dysphagia, indicated by a penetration aspiration scale score of 4-8 on videofluoroscopy.

Food texture is a pivotal factor influencing consumer preference, acceptance, and eating experience. Although human sensory studies have underscored the importance of the sensations of springiness and hardness in mastication and swallowing, the underlying mechanisms remain unknown due to the lack of an animal model. We therefore hypothesized that rats can discriminate textures based on mechanical properties-springiness and hardness-independent of taste, odor, and visual cues.

Background: The fields of dysphagia is progressively acknowledging the transformative capacity of artificial intelligence (AI). The implementation of this technology is profoundly impacting research directions, clinical practices, and healthcare systems. However, existing studies remain scattered and predominantly focus on specific techniques or case applications, lacking a systematic synthesis of global research output, influential contributors, collaboration networks, and evolving thematic trends.

Current screening methods for Barrett esophagus (BE), the precursor to esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC), are inadequate with less than one-third of screen-eligible patients currently undergoing screening. In addition to low screening rates, key issues include overemphasis on gastroesophageal reflux disease symptoms and lack of provider awareness, owing in part to heterogeneous guidelines. To address these challenges, several new approaches are being explored: swallowable cell collection devices, exhaled volatile organic compounds analysis, blood-based molecular biomarkers, microbiome analysis, and alternative visualization methods such as transnasal and capsule endos-copy.

Objective: Decannulation is a critical milestone in functional recovery after tracheostomy, but standardized guidelines are lacking. This study examined factors associated with tracheostomy decannulation success, comparing hospital utilization, adverse events, and survival outcomes between decannulated and non-decannulated patients.
Study Design: Retrospective, observational study.
