Comparison of a portable device versus a specific spirometer for cough flow testing
Conclusions: In this evaluation, including patients with heterogeneous disorders and normal controls, CPF readings were on average significantly higher when measured using the equipment with the CPF testing dedicated software; moreover this device allows for a better assessment of the cough maneuvers including visualization of the cough flow-volume loops.

Relationship Between Frequency of Spontaneous Swallowing and Salivary Substance P Level in Patients with Acute Stroke
In conclusion, the frequency of spontaneous swallowing was decreased in acute stroke patients with low salivary SP levels. Salivary SP levels can be potentially a useful biomarker of risk of stroke-associated pneumonia in the acute stage.

Increase of Substance P Concentration in Saliva after Pharyngeal Electrical Stimulation in Severely Dysphagic Stroke Patients – an Indicator of Decannulation Success?
Conclusions: The physiological mechanism of PES may consist in restoration of sensory feedback, which is known to be crucial for the execution of a safe swallow. SP possibly acts as a biomarker for indicating response to PES.Neurosignals 2017;25:74 –87

The therapeutic potential of purinergic signalling.
Abstract
This review is focused on the pathophysiology and therapeutic potential of purinergic signalling. A wide range of diseases are considered, including those of the central nervous system, skin, kidney, musculoskeletal, liver gut, lower urinary tract, cardiovascular, airways and reproductive systems, the special senses, infection, diabetes and obesity. Several purinergic drugs are already on the market, including P2Y12 receptor antagonists for stroke and thrombosis, P2Y2 receptor agonists for dry eye, A1 receptor agonists for supraventricular tachycardia. Clinical trials are underway for the use of P2X3 rece...

The impact of lesion location on dysphagia incidence, pattern and complications in acute stroke. Part 2: Oropharyngeal residue, swallow and cough response, and pneumonia
ConclusionsThis study gives new insights on the cortical representation of single components of swallowing and airway protection behaviours. The lesion model may help to risk‐stratify patients for dysphagia and pneumonia based on their brain scan.

Parameters Influencing Tracheostomy Decannulation in Patients Undergoing Rehabilitation after severe Acquired Brain Injury (sABI)
Conclusions Parameters that could be used as positive predictors of weaning are: mean expiratory pressure, presence of spontaneous cough, and cough strength. Provoked cough and GCS were not predictive of weaning success.

Effects of bidi smoking on all-cause mortality and cardiorespiratory outcomes in men from south Asia: an observational community-based substudy of the Prospective Urban Rural Epidemiology Study (PURE)
We examined the effects of bidi smoking on baseline respiratory impairment, and prospectively collected data for all-cause mortality and cardiorespiratory events in men from this region. Methods This substudy of the international, community-based Prospective Urban Rural Epidemiology (PURE) study was done in seven centres in India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. Men aged 35–70 years completed spirometry testing and standardised questionnaires at baseline and were followed up yearly. We used multilevel regression to compare cross-sectional baseline cardiorespiratory symptoms, spirometry measurements, and follow-up events (all-c...

Management of dysphagia in acute stroke : A prospective study for validation of current recommendations.
CONCLUSION: Clinical screening alone is not sufficient to identify patients at risk for aspiration pneumonia. The FEES should be used at a low threshold in cases of severe stroke and minor clinical abnormalities, especially concerning isolated dysarthria and cough after swallowing water; therefore, current recommendations should be correspondingly modified.

Ischemic Stroke and Septic Shock After Subacute Endocarditis Caused by Haemophilus parainfluenzae: Case Report.
Abstract
Haemophilus parainfluenzae, which belongs to the HACEK (Haemophilus ssp, Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans, Cardiobacterium hominis, Eikenella corrodens, and Kingella kingae) group, is a rare cause of subacute endocarditis and may lead to ischemic stroke. A 65-year-old female patient previously diagnosed with rheumatic valve disease was submitted to surgical mitral valve repair in 1996. Physical examination did not reveal any murmurs; physical examination of the lungs and abdomen was normal. The patient was admitted to hospital with progressive dyspnea, dry cough, and fever. Transesophageal echocardiog...

Traditional uses of under-utilized tree species in sub tropical rainfed areas of Kathua, Jammu & Kashmir
Title: Traditional uses of under-utilized tree species in sub tropical rainfed areas of Kathua, Jammu& Kashmir
Authors: Slathia, PS; Paul, Narinder; Gupta, SK; Sharma, BC; Kumar, Rakesh; Kher, SK
Abstract: Present investigation was carried out in three blocks; Hiranagar, Dinga Amb and Marheenof Kathuadistrict of Jammu region of Jammu and Kashmir located in the sub-tropical zone to identify and document the under-utilized forest tree species and their multiple traditional uses. Study revealed that people in the study area make multiple traditional uses of eight tree species which are ordinarily considered under-utilized, ...

Prevalence and Risk Factors of Caregiver Dependence among Older Adults in a Southeast Asian Population.
CONCLUSION: Various sociodemographic and health-related conditions were significantly associated with caregiver dependence. Dependent older adults will put greater demands on health and social services, resulting in greater healthcare expenditures. Hence, effective planning, services and support are crucial to meet the needs of dependent older adults and their caregivers.

Prolonged impairment of deglutition in supratentorial ischaemic stroke: the predictive value of Parramatta Hospitals' Assessment of Dysphagia.
CONCLUSIONS: In a selected population at risk of aspiration, the PHAD with a threshold of 70 assessed in the second week after stroke onset may be a valuable tool to predict prolonged impairment of deglutition for another 4 weeks and to guide the decision about switching from NG to PEG tube feeding after supratentorial ischaemic stroke.

Cough reflex attenuation and swallowing dysfunction in sub ‐acute post‐stroke patients: prevalence, risk factors, and clinical outcome
ConclusionsPrevalence of subacute post‐stroke OD and swallow safety impairments was much higher than CRT attenuation, and risk factors strongly differed suggesting that the swallow response receives a stronger cortical control than the cough reflex. OD has a greater impact on PSP clinical outcome than impaired cough, the poorest prognosis being for patients with both airway protective dysfunctions.
We found that the prevalence of OD was much higher than impairments in the CRT response. Neurotopographical and clinical stroke factors attenuated the CRT response but no specific risk factors for impaired CRT response were f...
