Summary: The study aimed to assess the influence of TEE on swallowing among patients who have experienced acute stroke. The results indicate a negative influence of TEE on swallowing in acute stroke patients for at least 24 hours.

Summary: In the sub-acute phase of stroke, the predictive factors of persistent dysphagia are not linked to the damaged neuroanatomical region, and others factors such as NIHSS value and high PAS score seem more useful.

Summary: The study found that using sEMG biofeedback rehabilitation can effectively improve pharyngeal clearance and safe swallowing in post-stroke dysphagia patients, reducing the risk of aspiration and malnutrition. The rehabilitative effects were stable at 2-month follow-up.

Summary: This feasibility study aimed to trial a Free Water Protocol (FWP) for patients with thin liquid dysphagia in the Long-Term Acute Care Hospital (LTACH) setting. The study showed that patients who knowingly aspirate thin liquids can safely tolerate thin liquid water, and their total fluid intake, swallow-related quality of life, and overall swallow function improved significantly. The results supported the implementation of FWP in the hospital and provided groundwork for future studies.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the relationship between stroke lesions and swallowing dysfunction in acute stroke patients. The results indicated that parietal lobe lesions were associated with aspiration, while basal ganglia lesions were linked to swallowing reflex delay.

Summary: This study analyzed data from VISTA-Acute and found that post-stroke pneumonia is associated with stroke severity and age, while RTPA has a minimal effect on pneumonia. There may be a possible association between benzodiazepine and pneumonia, but further research is needed to confirm this.

Summary: This study identified cough frequency as an important factor in predicting pneumonia outcomes in dysphagic stroke survivors, along with the risk of aspiration, making it an independent predictor of pneumonia.

Summary: This study analyzed the complications associated with nasogastric tube (NGT) feeding and variables related to mortality in acute stroke patients. The findings showed that NGT complications were common, with aspiration pneumonia being the most frequent. Factors such as incorrect NGT placement and the need for multiple attempts were associated with the occurrence of complications. Age and post-stroke pneumonia were significantly associated with mortality.

Summary: Post-stroke dysphagia (PSD) affects more than 50% of acute stroke patients and increases the risk of complications such as aspiration pneumonia, malnutrition, and dehydration. The guidelines recommend dysphagia screening for all stroke patients and suggest various treatment options to improve swallowing physiology and safety. Further randomized trials are needed to enhance the quality of evidence for PSD treatment.

Summary: The objective of this study was to demonstrate the importance of using fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES) in evaluating breastfeeding infants with suspected dysphagia. Failure to recognize and account for the fundamentally different physiology of primarily breastfed infants can lead to false assumptions about breastfeeding safety in this under-studied patient population. The study concluded that FEES is the preferred instrumental exam for evaluating primarily breastfed infants with suspected dysphagia, providing accurate and objective information while considering their unique swallowing physiology.

Summary: This study aimed to validate the Dysphagia Trained Nurse Assessment (DTNAx) tool in acute stroke patients and found that nurses trained in DTNAx showed good diagnostic accuracy in identifying dysphagia compared to SLTAx and in identifying aspiration compared to VFS. They made appropriate diet and fluid recommendations in line with SLTs in the early management of dysphagia.

Summary: Dysphagia is a common symptom in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients. This study found that early evaluation of swallowing function is important when undergoing endovascular treatment (EVT), and the traditional practice of evaluating after 24 hours may need to be changed. The prevalence and severity of PSD are high, and for patients with severe symptoms, instrumental swallowing diagnostics are recommended for evaluation.

Summary: Post-stroke dysphagia (PSD) is associated with an increased risk of pneumonia and mortality. Female gender, hemorrhagic stroke, previous stroke, severe stroke, and diabetes mellitus are associated with a higher risk of PSD, while male gender and ischemic stroke are associated with a lower risk. The assessment of PSD in stroke patients should take into account stroke type, previous stroke, severe stroke, diabetes mellitus, and gender to prevent and manage pneumonia and reduce mortality rate.

Summary: This study summarized the relationship between dysphagia and pneumonia in post-stroke patients through a meta-analysis. The results showed that the incidence of pneumonia was significantly higher in the dysphagia group compared to the non-dysphagia group, indicating that dysphagia is a significant risk factor for pneumonia after stroke.

Summary: The combination of severely low muscle strength and decreased muscle mass is independently associated with the development of delayed dysphagia after stroke. Delayed dysphagia has a negative impact on the improvement of dysphagia during in-hospital rehabilitation, emphasizing the importance of early identification and intervention.
