Prevalence of oropharyngeal dysphagia symptoms in community-dwelling older adults: A community survey
ConclusionAs dysphagia symptoms significantly impact the social, psychological and QOL of community-dwelling older adults, it is important to develop awareness about these symptoms among older adults, caretakers and physicians. Early detection and appropriate management of community-dwelling older adults at risk for dysphagia can contribute to better health outcomes and improved QOL.Graphical abstract (Source: Indian Journal of Gastroenterology)

Sarcopenia is a risk factor for post-transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt hepatic encephalopathy and mortality: A systematic review and meta-analysis
ConclusionPatients with sarcopenia have a significantly increased risk of post-TIPS HE and mortality. Presence of sarcopenia should be considered when weighing the risks and benefits of performing TIPS in patients with cirrhosis. Further studies are needed to determine the clinical utility of important risk factors such as sarcopenia on post-TIPS outcomes. (Source: Indian Journal of Gastroenterology)
