Effect of isometric exercises on the masseter muscle in older adults with missing dentition: a randomized controlled trial

Scientific Reports, 2021
Maintaining oral function in older individuals with missing teeth is important for leading a healthy and independent life. This study aimed to evaluate whether simple isometric exercises can maintain and improve the oral function [maximum occlusal force (

Association between characteristics of swallowing-related muscles and trunk muscle mass

Scientific Reports, 2023
Swallowing function is associated with systemic factors. Whether trunk or appendicular skeletal muscle mass is a better indicator of swallowing-related muscle characteristics in community-dwelling older adults is not clear.

Functional Role of Suprahyoid Muscles in Bolus Formation During Mastication

Frontiers in Physiology, 2022
It still remains unclear how the suprahyoid muscles function in bolus formation during mastication. This study aimed to investigate the contributory role of the suprahyoid muscles during mastication.

Dysphagia aortica [PDF]

European Surgery, 2021
SummaryBackgroundDysphagia aortica is an umbrella term to describe swallowing obstruction from external aortic compression secondary to a dilated, tortuous, or aneurysmal aorta. We performed a systematic literature review to clarify clinical features and outcomes of patients with dysphagia aortica.Materials and methodsWe searched PubMed, EMBASE, Web of

Effects of thickened carbonated cola in older patients with dysphagia

Scientific Reports, 2022
Carbonated beverages initiate the swallowing reflex earlier than water and have a shorter pharyngeal transit time. However, the effects of carbonation in thickened beverages of the same flavor on swallowing dynamics have not been reported.

Effects of tongue right positioner use on tongue pressure: a pilot study

Scientific Reports, 2023
The effectiveness of the tongue right positioner (TRP) use on oral and swallowing functions remains unclear. To investigate the effects of TRP use on tongue function in patients with dysphagia.

Relationship between the jaw-closing force and dietary form in older adults without occlusal support requiring nursing care

Scientific Reports, 2023
In clinical practice, we encounter cases wherein older adults lacking occlusal support consume foods requiring mastication and adequate swallowing function.

Usefulness and Validity of a Jaw-Closing Force Meter in Older Adults

Geriatrics, 2022
We prototyped a new device with a soft and flexible pressure sensor to measure the force to close the mandible with or without occlusal support (jaw-closing force, JCF). This study aimed to clarify the practicality of this instrument.
