Finding the red flags: Swallowing difficulties after cardiac surgery in patients with prolonged intubation
Conclusions Patients identified with dysphagia after cardiac surgery had a high incidence of silent aspiration and increased risk of pneumonia. However, referral rates were low in this at-risk patient group. Early identification and ongoing assessment and appropriate management of dysphagic patients by a speech-language pathologist are strongly recommended.

Mo1063 Early Placement of Gastrostomy Tube Is Associated With Lower Rates of Pneumonia and Decreased Inpatient Mortality
In patients with acute cerebrovascular disease including stroke, pneumonia is one of the most common causes of death, most of which is attributed to aspiration pneumonia. It is currently not known whether early placement of gastrostomy tube in patients with stroke decreases the rates of pneumonia or provides inpatient mortality benefit.

Su1162 Gastrointestinal Bleeding With Warfarin, Novel Oral Anticoagulants and Left Atrial Appendage Exclusion Device in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation: Network Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials
Novel oral anticoagulants (NOAC) are extensively being used in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients for mitigating stroke risk as an alternative to warfarin. In those patients with higher bleeding risk, left atrial appendage exclusion devices are being used for decreasing stroke risk. We performed a network meta-analysis of all randomized controlled trials (RCT) to compare the relative efficacy of all these agents.

β-Blocker therapy for cirrhotic cardiomyopathy: a randomized-controlled trial
Background Cirrhotic cardiomyopathy is characterized by an attenuated contractile response to stress. Long-term exposure of β-adrenergic receptors to persistently high levels of catecholamines has been implicated in its pathogenesis. We hypothesized that β-blockade with metoprolol could reverse the changes in heart function and morphology in cirrhotic cardiomyopathy. Patients and methods In this prospective randomized trial, we included 78 patients aged between 18 and 60 years with abnormal cardiac output response under dobutamine stress echocardiography, without primary cardiac disease or a history of alcohol intak...

Botulinum toxin A injection using ultrasound combined with balloon guidance for the treatment of cricopharyngeal dysphagia: analysis of 21 cases
CONCLUSIONS: Ultrasound with balloon-guided BTX-A injection is probably a relatively safe, easy, and effective technique for the treatment of CPA caused by stroke, with better visualization of the injection procedure. A well-designed controlled trial with a larger sample size is needed for more convincing conclusions.PMID:35213271 | DOI:10.1080/00365521.2022.2041716

Reply for ‘Letter to the Editor’, “B vitamins for NASH: use methylcobalamin, not cyanocobalamin” written by Dr. J. David Spence.
We appreciate the letter by Dr. Spence advocating the use of methylcobalamin or hydroxycobalamin rather than the cyanocoblamin form of vitamin B12 (B12) in future clinical trials investigating the efficacy of B vitamins to prevent or treat NASH. This is similar to the concern that he raised previously for studies that employed B12 in the prevention of stroke 1,2. Although several large trials previously showed no benefit of folate and/or B vitamins (B6 and B12) in reducing cardiovascular events 3, reanalysis of data from one of them (the VISP trial), showed there was a 34% reduction stroke/myocardial infarction events over...
