Abstract Feeding difficulties are especially prevalent in preterm infants, although the mechanisms driving these difficulties are poorly understood due to a lack of data on healthy infants. One potential mechanism of dysphagia in adults is correlated with bolus volume. Yet, whether and how bolus volume impacts swallow safety in infant feeding is unknown. A further complication for safe infant swallowing is recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) injury due to patent ductus arteriosus...

Int J Dent Hyg. 2020 May;18(2):163-172 Authors: Koistinen S, Olai L, Ståhlnacke K, Fält A, Ehrenberg A Abstract OBJECTIVES: It is well known that oral health status is associated with oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) in the general population. The aim of this study was to describe and analyse OHRQoL among older people in short-term...

Abstract The duodenal epithelium plays a pivotal role in the uptake and transport of dietary nutrients while simultaneously acting as physical and biochemical barrier to protect against harmful bacteria and antigens. In the case of functional dyspepsia (FD), the duodenum is of particular interest, due to observed local immune involvement and the proximity to the stomach and exposure to acidopeptic secretions. Recent observations in FD pathophysiology, including those reported by Beeckmans et al...
Under stressed conditions such as water avoidance stress (WAS), PPI enhances intestinal permeability via dysbiosis of gut microbiota. VIP and mast cells are also implicated in the underlying mechanisms. Abstract Background Intestinal permeability and psychological stress are considered the key mechanism(s) in functional dyspepsia (FD). Although proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are commonly used for the treatment of FD, the effect of PPIs on intestinal permeability has not been elucidated. This...
