Deglutition syncope, also known as swallow syncope, is a neurally mediated reflex syndrome. The common intervention of the heart, esophagus, and stomach by the vagus nerve is central to its pathogenesis, whereby swallowing causes inhibition of the cardiac conduction system.

Deglutition Syncope: Two Case Reports Attributed to Vagal Hyperactivity [PDF]
Deglutition syncope is a relatively rare cause of syncope that belongs to the category of neurally mediated reflex syncopal syndromes. The phenomenon is related to vagal reflex in context to deglutition causing atrioventricular block and acute reduction ...

Deglutition is a reflex process of muscular contractions aiming to forward food, saliva or other substances from the oral cavity to stomach. Although deglutition can be caused consciously, in most instances it is caused subconsciously. Frequency of deglutition is one per minute, which means that during day and night more than 1000 swallowing ...

Retro-nasal aroma release is correlated with variations in the in-mouth air cavity volume after empty deglutition. [PDF]
We hypothesized that interindividual differences in motor activities during chewing and/or swallowing were determining factors for the transfer of volatile aroma from the in-mouth air cavity (IMAC) toward the olfactory mucosa. In our first experiment, we

Role of Cerebellum in Deglutition and Deglutition Disorders [PDF]
The objective of this review is to gather available evidence regarding the role of the cerebellum in swallowing- related functions. We reviewed literature on cerebellar func- tions related to healthy swallowing, patterns of dysphagia in individuals with cerebellar lesions, and the role of the cere- bellum in therapeutic intervention of neurogenic ...

Prolonged impairment of deglutition in supratentorial ischaemic stroke: the predictive value of Parramatta Hospitals’ Assessment of Dysphagia [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Up to 50% of ischaemic stroke patients show initial dysphagia, which may persist for months. Guidelines recommend switching nasogastric (NG) to percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tube feeding at the second week after the stroke if ...
