Nurses' performance of using a screening tool to screen swallowing functions among hospitalized patients with acute stroke.
Conclusion: A screening tool developed for nurses can help nurses to assess swallowing functions and accurately identify dysphagia among patients with acute stroke. Training on using the screening tool and making proper nursing care plans are needed for nurses to improve screening accuracy and competency, and further improve quality of care for stroke patients with dysphagia.

Nasogastric feeding for stroke patients: practice and education.
CONCLUSIONS: This study shows that the management of NG feeding for dysphagic stroke patients requires standardisation, as does the education for nurses to ensure that this intervention is carried out safely, effectively and acceptably. PMID: 25815823 [PubMed - in process]

Swallowing Training Combined with Game-Based Biofeedback in Post-Stroke Dysphagia
Conclusions Laryngeal elevation training combined with game-based biofeedback augments the change in hyoid bone displacement, FOIS scores, and increases NG tube removal rate in patients with post-stroke dysphagia.

Case report: Dysphagia after COVID-19 infection in a stroke patient —Is neurostimulation a potential management?
A 90-year-old man with stroke was weaned from tube feeding 4 months after stroke onset. However, he had a coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection after 2 months and suffered from drastically worsened oropharyngeal dysphagia that required a reinsertion of the nasogastric tube. A videofluoroscopic swallowing study revealed poor bolus oral transit, significantly delayed swallowing reflex, reduced pharyngeal movements, and insufficient cough response. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation and neuromuscular electrical stimulation were applied, in addition to conventional swallowing training. The feeding tube was re...
