Swallowing is a complex process involving the precise contractions of numerous muscles of
the head and neck, which act to process and shepherd ingested material from the oral cavity …

Risk factors for oropharyngeal dysphagia (OD) in elderly patients are mainly central nervous
system (CNS) and structural organic diseases or presbyphagia. We analysed the OD …

Swallowing is an essential process to maintain homeostasis in the human body. With aging,
changes occur in both central and peripheral structures, giving rise to presbyphagia …

Background “Presbyphagia” refers to characteristic age-related changes in the complex
neuromuscular swallowing mechanism. It has been hypothesized that cumulative …

Objective To investigate the presence, degree, predictors, and trajectory of dysphagia,
dysphonia, and dysarthria among adults hospitalized with COVID‐19 across the Republic of …

Objectives Understanding how aging impacts swallowing can help differentiate typical from
atypical behaviors. This study aimed to quantify age-related swallowing alterations observed …

Background Dysphagia is a geriatric syndrome. Changes in the whole body that occur with
aging also affect swallowing functions and cause presbyphagia. This condition may …

Little is known about the physiology of a common fluid ingestion pattern—sequential
swallowing. This study investigated sequential swallowing biomechanics in healthy adults …

Few research studies have investigated temporal kinematic swallow events in healthy adults
to establish normative reference values. Determining cutoffs for normal and disordered …

Background Patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) following trauma often have
multiple injuries, which can lead to disordered swallowing, dysphagia. The prevalence of …
