Effect of nasal high-flow oxygen therapy on the swallowing reflex: an in vivo volunteer study
Conclusions Our study demonstrates that NHF may enhance swallowing function with increasing levels of NHF by reducing the latency of the reflex. Clinical relevance NHF may allow continuation of oral intake without aspiration during oxygen therapy.

Effects of adrenaline on circulatory dynamics and cardiac function in rats administered chlorpromazine
Abstract We aimed to elucidate changes in circulatory dynamics and cardiac function during concomitant use of chlorpromazine (CPZ) and adrenaline (AD). An arterial line and left intraventricular pressure–volume measurement catheter were inserted in rats. CPZ 10 mg/kg was administered to the left great adductor muscle, followed by normal saline (NS) or AD 50 μg/kg through the tongue 20 min later. End-diastolic volume (V ed), end-systolic pressure (P es), stroke volume (SV), stroke work (SW), end-systolic volume elastance (E es), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastoli...

Temporomandibular joint dislocation in a post-stroke patient with dysphagia caused by gastroesophageal reflux-related vomiting.
This report describes a rare case of repeated, voluntary, TMJ in a 73-year-old woman with dysphagia and dysarthria. The cause of dislocation was suspected to be voluntary excessive mouth opening associated with gastroesophageal reflux-related vomiting and the desire to eject oral deposits resulting from hypoglossal and facial nerve paralyses. After an oral hygiene intervention, the frequency of TMJ dislocation decreased and finally disappeared. Thorough oral hygiene seemed to contribute to protection against TMJ dislocation. (J Oral Sci 58, 133-136, 2016). PMID: 27021550 [PubMed - in process]

Taking evidence-based advice
Tension exists today between those who tout autonomy of thought and action as the highest good and those who seek to impose population-wide solutions to problems based on evidence from rigorous scientific investigation. Studies show that older Americans treated aggressively to control blood pressure to 120 mm Hg or less have a diminished risk of stroke and heart attack with no adverse risk of injury from falls caused by medication compared to those whose target blood pressure is 140 mm Hg. As a result, a lower blood pressure goal is appropriate for the majority of the population over age 50 years based on scientific evidence.

Effects of neuromuscular electrical stimulation combined with effortful swallowing on post‐stroke oropharyngeal dysphagia: a randomised controlled trial
This study aimed to investigate the effects of effortful swallowing combined with neuromuscular electrical stimulation on hyoid bone movement and swallowing function in stroke patients. Fifty stroke patients with mild dysphagia who were able to swallow against the resistance applied by using NMES and cooperate actively in training were included. This study was designed as a 6‐week single‐blind, randomised, controlled study. In the experimental group, two pairs of electrodes were placed horizontally in the infrahyoid region to depress the hyoid bone. The NMES intensity was increased gradually until the participants felt...

Effects of expiratory muscle strength training on oropharyngeal dysphagia in subacute stroke patients: a randomised controlled trial
This study was performed to investigate the effects of EMST on the activity of suprahyoid muscles, aspiration and dietary stages in stroke patients with dysphagia. Twenty‐seven stroke patients with dysphagia were randomly divided into two groups. The experimental group performed EMST with a 70% threshold value of maximal expiratory pressure, using an EMST device, 5 days a week for 4 weeks. The placebo group trained with a sham device. The EMST regime involved 5 sets of 5 breaths through the EMST device for a total of 25 breaths per day. Activity in the suprahyoid muscle group was measured using surface electromyography (...

Longitudinal relationship of severe periodontitis with cognitive decline in older Japanese
ConclusionWithin the limitations related to its small sample size, the findings of the present study suggest that severe periodontitis is significantly associated with future decline in cognitive function among community‐dwelling older Japanese subjects.

Tooth loss and stroke: results from the behavioral risk factor surveillance system, 2010.
CONCLUSION: Evidence from this cross-sectional study indicates that tooth loss had a potential, although weak positive association as an independent factor in multivariable analysis with stroke. PMID: 25325724 [PubMed - in process]

Estimation of high sensitivity C-reactive protein in patients with periodontal disease and without coronary artery disease
Conclusions: We found an increased level of HsCRP in patients with chronic periodontitis which revealed the susceptibility of these patients to cardiac diseases like myocardial infarction and stroke. Hence present day focus in the line of management of cardiac patient has changed from the periodontal perspective.

Association between periodontal diseases and systemic illnesses: A survey among internal medicine residents in Nigeria
Conclusions Knowledge of periodontal disease as a risk factor for systemic illnesses among medical residents in Nigeria is inadequate. These relationships should be emphasized in continuing medical education courses.

Effect of family caregiver oral care training on stroke survivor oral and respiratory health in Taiwan: a randomised controlled trial.
CONCLUSIONS: Home-based oral care training programme had a beneficial effect on oral health as measured by TC and DP scores. The effect on SRI requires further longitudinal study. PMID: 26513847 [PubMed - in process]

The effect of mouth breathing on chewing efficiency.
CONCLUSIONS:   It takes a longer amount of time to complete chewing to obtain higher masticatory efficiency when breathing through the mouth. Therefore, mouth breathing will decrease the masticatory efficiency if the duration of chewing is restricted in everyday life. PMID: 26222411 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Oral care post-stroke
Strokes occur annually in about 15 million people across the world, with 5 million dying and 5 million becoming permanently disabled. The establishment of good oral health care (OHC) after stroke is often of lower priority than the other health problems of these individuals, and OHC after stroke may be inadequate, leading to additional health concerns. Persons who have had a stroke may have difficulty independently completing the needed OHC tasks because of hemiparesis, hemiplegia, lack of coordination, or cognitive deficits.

Dabigatran anticoagulation
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common heart arrhythmia for which anticoagulant agents such as warfarin are prescribed. A recently licensed anticoagulant, dabigatran (Pradaxa), diminishes the risk of stroke or systemic emboli in patients with AF and those having joint replacement surgery. Adult patients with non-valvular AF with previous stroke, transient ischemic attack or systemic embolism, left ventricular ejection fraction less than 40%, symptomatic heart failure exceeding New York Heart Association class 2, or age over 65 years with diabetes mellitus, coronary artery disease or hypertension are also candidates for dabigatran therapy.
