[Advances in nutritional support for children undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation]. / é€ è¡€å¹²ç»†èƒžç§»æ¤å„¿ç«¥çš„è¥å »æ”¯æŒè¿›å±•.

Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is a therapeutic option for various potentially life-threatening malignant and non-malignant diseases in children, such as malignancies, immunodeficiency syndromes, severe aplastic anemia, and inherited metabolic disorders. During transplantation, many factors can affect the nutritional status of the children, including radiotherapy, chemotherapy, gastrointestinal disorders, graft-versus-host disease, and medications. Malnutrition has been associated with decreased overall survival and increased complications in children undergoing HSCT, making nutritional support a crucial component of their management. However, currently, there is a lack of guidelines or consensus on nutritional support for children undergoing HSCT in China. Therefore, this review summarizes the progress in nutritional support for children undergoing HSCT, aiming to provide clinical guidance.

Con - The Harms of Overfeeding Early in Critical Illness.

Historically, several studies showed an association between malnutrition in critically ill patients and poor outcomes. As a result, the standard practice had been to provide patients with full nutrition as soon as possible to eliminate malnutrition, improve outcomes, and reduce mortality. However, several studies recently suggested that providing more calories and protein is not better in critical illness and may be harmful in certain disease states. This literature review and editorial describe the harms of maximal feeding early in critical illness.

Fat malabsorption in critical illness.

Malnutrition in critical illness is common and is associated with significant increases in adverse outcomes. A hypermetabolic state and underfeeding both contribute to the incidence of malnutrition. Malabsorption caused by critical illness is also an important contributor to the development of malnutrition. The early provision of enteral nutrition is associated with improved outcomes. Strategies for nutrition therapy must be informed by the alterations in absorption of macronutrients present in these patients. The following review examines alterations in fat metabolism during critical illness, and its consequences to overall nutrition status. Critical illness, as well as the sequalae of common medical interventions, may lead to alterations in the mechanical and chemical processes by which fat is digested and absorbed. Mechanical alterations include delayed gastric emptying and changes to the normal gut transit time. Pharmacologic interventions aimed at reducing these impacts may themselves, negatively affect efficient fat absorption. Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency can also occur in critical illness and may be underappreciated as a cause of fat malabsorption. Dysfunction of the gut lymphatics has been proposed as a contributing factor to fat malabsorption, and additional work is needed to better describe and quantify those effects. Achieving optimal outcomes for nutrition therapy requires recognition of these alterations in fat digestion.

Changes in serum albumin concentrations over 7 days in medical inpatients with and without nutritional support. A secondary post-hoc analysis of a randomized clinical trial.

BACKGROUND: Serum albumin concentrations are frequently used to monitor nutritional therapy in the hospital setting but supporting studies are largely lacking. Within this secondary analysis of a randomized nutritional trial (EFFORT), we assessed whether nutritional support affects short-term changes in serum albumin concentrations and whether an increase in albumin concentration has prognostic implications regarding clinical outcome and response to treatment. METHODS: We analyzed patients with available serum albumin concentrations at baseline and day 7 included in EFFORT, a Swiss-wide multicenter randomized clinical trial that compared individualized nutritional therapy with usual hospital food (control group). RESULTS: Albumin concentrations increased in 320 of 763 (41.9%) included patients (mean age 73.3 years (SD ± 12.9), 53.6% males) with no difference between patients receiving nutritional support and controls. Compared with patients that showed a decrease in albumin concentrations over 7 days, those with an increase had a lower 180-day mortality [74/320 (23.1%) vs. 158/443 (35.7%); adjusted odds ratio 0.63, 95% CI 0.44 to 0.90; p = 0.012] and a shorter length of hospital stay [11.2 ± 7.3 vs. 8.8 ± 5.6 days, adjusted difference -2.2 days (95%CI -3.1 to -1.2)]. Patients with and without a decrease over 7 days had a similar response to nutritional support. CONCLUSION: Results from this secondary analysis indicate that nutritional support did not increase short-term concentrations of albumin over 7 days, and changes in albumin did not correlate with response to nutritional interventions. However, an increase in albumin concentrations possibly mirroring resolution of inflammation was associated with better clinical outcomes. Repeated in-hospital albumin measurements in the short-term is, thus, not indicated for monitoring of patients receiving nutritional support but provides prognostic information.

Optimal Nutritional Support Strategy Based on the Association between Modified NUTRIC Score and 28-Day Mortality in Critically Ill Patients: A Prospective Study.

Malnutrition in critically ill patients is closely linked with clinical outcomes. During acute inflammatory states, nutrition cannot reverse the loss of body cell mass completely. Studies on nutritional screening and strategy considering metabolic changes have not yet been conducted. We aimed to identify nutrition strategies using the modified Nutrition Risk in the Critically ill (mNUTIRC) score. Nutrition support data, laboratory nutrition indicators, and prognosis indices were prospectively collected on the 2nd and 7th day after admission. It was to identify the effect of the changes on the metabolic status and critical target of nutrition intervention. To discriminate the high-risk group of malnutrition, receiver operating characteristic curves were plotted. Risk factors associated with 28 day-mortality were evaluated using multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression. A total of 490 and 266 patients were analyzed on the 2nd and 7th day, respectively. Only the mNUTRIC score showed significant differences in nutritional risk stratification. The use of vasopressors, hypoprotein supply (<1.0 g/kg/day), high mNUTRIC score, and hypoalbuminemia (<2.5 mg/dL) in the recovery phase were strongly associated with a 28-day mortality. The implementation of the mNUTRIC score and protein supply in the post-acute phase is critical to improve 28-day mortality in critically ill patients.

Cumplimiento de los objetivos nutricionales durante el uso de dispositivos de asistencia ventricular / Nutritional objectives in patients with ventricular assist devices

Antecedentes: Los dispositivos de asistencia ventricular (VAD, sigla en inglés) se utilizan cada vez más para el manejo de la insuficiencia cardíaca descompensada en unidades de cuidados intensivos. El manejo nutricional es fundamental para la evolución clínica de estos pacientes. Objetivos: El objetivo fue evaluar en cuánto tiempo se puede alcanzar las necesidades nutricionales, utilizando distintas modalidades de apoyo nutricional, en pacientes que requirieron asistencia con VAD por insuficiencia cardíaca aguda en una clínica privada del país. Métodos: En una clínica privada se efectuó un estudio observacional retrospectivo analizando los datos clínicos relacionados al aporte nutricional de 12 pacientes que requirieron asistencia con VAD. Las vías de aporte nutricional evaluadas fueron la nutrición enteral (NE) y/o nutrición parenteral (NP). Se midió el tiempo de implementación del apoyo nutricional y su efecto se estimó por una valoración nutricional subjetiva y por la medición de indicadores de laboratorio. Además, se vigilaron las complicaciones asociadas al aporte nutricional. Resultados: El estudio incluyó a 12 pacientes. Los objetivos nutricionales se alcanzaron por completo en el 91% de los pacientes (n=11) en 3,7 ± 1 días después de iniciado el apoyo nutricional. En ese momento, 5 pacientes recibían NE exclusiva, 4 pacientes NP complementaria a la NE, 1 paciente NE complementaria a la alimentación oral y 1 paciente con vía oral. Al momento de alcanzar los requerimientos nutricionales ningún paciente tenía NP exclusiva. Conclusión: Concluimos que el apoyo nutricional precoz es factible y seguro en pacientes con VAD. Alcanzar los objetivos nutricionales es posible sin efectos adversos graves. Se necesitan estudios futuros para determinar el beneficio a largo plazo del apoyo nutricional agresivo para pacientes en estado crítico que requieren apoyo hemodinámico.

Background: Ventricular assist devices (VAD) are being used more frequently in patients with severe heart failure. Nutritional support is a critical factor for the outcome in these patients. Aim: to evaluate the time required and mode of nutritional support in patients with severe cardiac dysfunction being treated with VAD. Methods: 12 patients with VAD being treated in an intensive care unit were evaluated to determine the time and mode of support required to achieve adequate nutrition. Enteral and / or parenteral modes of nutritional support were used. The outcomes were evaluated by subjective appreciation, weight measurement and serum levels of albumin, pre-albumin and vitamin D. Results: Adequate nutritional support was achieved in 91% of patients a mean of 3 days after beginning of treatment (SD 1 day). At that time 5 patients were receiving only enteral nutrition, 4 patients enteral and parenteral nutrition, 1 patient enteral nutrition in addition to oral nutrition and 1 patients was receiving only oral nutrition. No patient was receiving only parenteral nutrition. Conclusion: early nutritional support is posible and safe in patients with an VAD. Further studies are needed to evaluate long term benefits of this strategy of nutritional support.

Nutritional Support for Alcoholic Liver Disease.

Malnutrition is a common finding in alcohol use disorders and is associated with the prognosis of patients with alcoholic liver disease (ALD). These patients also frequently show deficiencies in vitamins and trace elements, increasing the likelihood of anemia and altered cognitive status. The etiology of malnutrition in ALD patients is multifactorial and complex and includes inadequate dietary intake, abnormal absorption and digestion, increased skeletal and visceral protein catabolism, and abnormal interactions between ethanol and lipid metabolism. Most nutritional measures derive from general chronic liver disease recommendations. Recently, many patients with ALD have been diagnosed with metabolic syndrome, which requires individualized treatment via nutritional therapy to avoid overnutrition. As ALD progresses to cirrhosis, it is frequently complicated by protein-energy malnutrition and sarcopenia. Nutritional therapy is also important in the management of ascites and hepatic encephalopathy as liver failure progresses. The purpose of the review is to summarize important nutritional therapies for the treatment of ALD.

Pharmacological and nutritional therapy of children and adults with chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction.

INTRODUCTION: Chronic intestinal pseudoobstruction (CIPO) is a rare, heterogenous, and severe form of gastrointestinal dysmotility. AREAS COVERED: Pertinent literature on pediatric and adult CIPO management has been assessed via PubMed, Scopus, and EMBASE from inception to June 2022. Prokinetics, aimed at restoring intestinal propulsion (e.g. orthopramides and substituted benzamides, acetyl cholinesterase inhibitors, serotonergic agents, and others), have been poorly tested and the available data showed only partial efficacy. Moreover, some prokinetic agents (e.g. orthopramides and substituted benzamides) can cause major side effects. CIPO-related small intestinal bacterial overgrowth requires treatment preferably via poorly absorbable antibiotics to avoid bacterial resistance. Apart from opioids, which worsen gut motility, analgesics should be considered to manage visceral pain, which might dominate the clinical manifestations. Nutritional support, via modified oral feeding, enteral, or parenteral nutrition, is key to halting CIPO-related malnutrition. EXPERT OPINION: There have been significant roadblocks preventing the development of CIPO treatment. Nonetheless, the considerable advancement in neurogastroenterology and pharmacological agents cast hopes to test the actual efficacy of new prokinetics via well-designed clinical trials. Adequate dietary strategies and supplementation remain of crucial importance. Taken together, novel pharmacological and nutritional options are expected to provide adequate treatments forthese patients.

Role of Nutrition in Pediatric Patients with Cancer.

Children with cancer are at high risk for developing short-term and long-term nutritional problems related to their underlying disease and side effects of multimodal treatments. Nutritional status (NS) can influence several clinical outcomes, such as overall survival (OS) and event-free survival (EFS), treatment tolerance, risk of developing infections and quality of life (QoL). However, the importance of nutrition in children with cancer is still underestimated. This review focuses on alterations of NS that occurs in children during cancer treatment. In particular, we reviewed the pathogenesis of undernutrition in oncological children, as well as how NS affects treatment tolerance and response, the immune system and the risk of infections of children with cancer. Thanks to recent advances in all types of supportive therapy and to the progress of knowledge on this topic, it has been realized that NS is a modifiable prognostic factor that can be intervened upon to improve the outcome of these patients. Currently, there is a lack of a systematic approach and standard recommendations for nutritional care in the pediatric cancer population. Literature analysis showed that it is essential to define the NS and treat any alterations in a timely manner ensuring proper growth and development. Nutritional follow-up should become an integral part of the care pathway. Regular nutritional monitoring should be performed at diagnosis, during treatment and during follow-up. A close collaboration and sharing of expertise between pediatric oncologists and nutrition specialists, combined with careful and participatory sharing of the feeding experience with the family and the child (after age 6 years), is strongly required.

Impact of Nutritional Management on Survival of Critically Ill Malnourished Patients with Refeeding Hypophosphatemia.

BACKGROUND: Early nutritional therapy may aggravate hypophosphatemia in critically ill patients. AIM: To investigate the influence of the type nutritional therapy on the survival of critically-ill malnourished patients at refeeding hypophosphatemia risk. METHODS: Retrospective cohort study including malnourished, critically-ill adults, admitted from June 2014-December 2017 in an intensive care unit (ICU) at a tertiary hospital. Refeeding hypophosphatemia risk was defined as low serum phosphorus levels (<2.5 mg/dL) seen at two timepoints: before the initiation and at day 4 of the nutritional therapy. Patients receiving enteral nutrition (EN) were compared with those receiving supplemental parenteral nutrition (SPN-EN plus parenteral nutrition). Primary outcome was 60 d survival. Secondary endpoint was the incidence of refeeding hypophosphatemia risk. RESULTS: We included 468-321 patients (68.6%) received EN and 147 (31.4%) received SPN. The mortality rate was 36.3% (n = 170). Refeeding hypophosphatemia risk was found in 116 (24.8%) patients before and in 177 (37.8%) at day 4 of nutritional therapy. The 60 d mean survival probability was greater for patients receiving SPN both before (42.4 vs. 22.4%, p = 0.005) and at day 4 (37.4 vs. 25.8%, p = 0.014) vs. patients receiving EN at the same timepoints. Cox regression showed a hazard ratio of 3.3 and 2.4 for patients at refeeding hypophosphatemia risk before and at day 4 of EN, respectively, compared to the SPN group at the same timepoints. CONCLUSION: Refeeding hypophosphatemia risk was frequent in malnourished ICU patients and the survival for patients receiving SPN seemed associated with better survival than EN only.

[Nutrition and dietary supplements]. / Ernährung und Nahrungsergänzungsmittel.

Nutritional problems occur very frequently in patients with cancer and different problems are associated with separate phases of the disease. Therefore, it is principally recommended to regularly screen all patients with cancer for nutritional disorders and in the case of conspicuous results meticulous diagnostics should be carried to clarify the underlying causes. The focus is on food intake and possible disturbing complaints, the physical performance index, nutritional status including weight change and body composition, the metabolic pattern and the presence of a systemic inflammatory reaction. As anti-cancer treatments frequently induce gastrointestinal derangements which endanger adequate food intake, individualized nutritional care should be offered routinely. After successful curative treatment patients are at risk of developing a metabolic syndrome; therefore, a balanced diet and regular physically activity are recommended. During palliative treatment special attention should be paid to the development of malnutrition. Patients are particularly endangered by cachexia with the combination of inadequate food intake, inactivity and prevailing catabolism. The treatment of cachexia requires a multiprofessional approach to ensure adequate food intake, guiding and supporting physical activity and interventions for normalization of the metabolic situation. In addition, the need for psychological and social support should be discussed. Dietary supplements are of minor relevance; however, deficits in micronutrients, such as vitamins and trace elements need to be balanced. At the end of life, care should primarily be focused on alleviating debilitating symptoms. To reliably support all patients affected by nutritional disorders, clear structures need to be established, responsibilities assigned and standardized procedures codified.

Preoperative nutritional support for patients undergoing elective colorectal cancer surgery - does it really work?

AIMS: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of preoperative administration of oral nutritional supplements (ONS) on the self-sufficiency, physical status, and nutritional status of patients undergoing elective colorectal resections. METHODS: This prospective randomized clinical trial was conducted in a single institution. Patients scheduled to undergo colorectal cancer surgery were randomized to either ONS twice per day for 7 days before surgery or no ONS. RESULTS: We enrolled 120 patients in the study. The two study groups had comparable hospital stay times and comparable numbers of postoperative complications. Laboratory parameter (albumin and prealbumin) values declined in the postoperative period, but differences between study groups were not significant. The groups had comparable arm circumference measurements, muscle mass and fat proportions, and water weights. Patient self-sufficiency in the postoperative period was comparable between groups (P=0.313). Lower limb force declined after surgery, but differences between the groups were not significant (P=0.579). CONCLUSION: Preoperative administration of ONS to patients undergoing elective colorectal surgery did not reduce postoperative morbidity or enhance recovery. Moreover, patient self-sufficiency, physical status, and nutritional status were not influenced by preoperative ONS. Patients should be properly selected for malnourishment before providing nutritional support to manage costs efficiently. TRIAL REGISTRATION: ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT03930888).

[Nutritional supportive care in the course of patients with esophagogastric cancers]. / Soins de support nutritionnels dans le parcours des patients atteints de cancers œsogastriques.

Supportive care plays a central role in the management of patients with esophagogastric cancers, at all disease stages. Malnutrition has a high prevalence in this population, reaching up to 60 % of the patients. Sarcopenia and cachexia are also common. These complications have negative impact on functional abilities, quality of life and overall survival. They impair anti-tumor treatments effectiveness and increase their toxicity. Early detection and management are needed, before reaching advanced stages, which are refractory to therapeutic interventions. Specific nutritional support is recommended, relying on different nutritional support tools (dietetic counseling, oral supplements, artificial nutrition), depending on the clinical situation. When artificial nutrition is recommended, enteral nutrition (nasogastric tube, gastrostomy or jejunostomy) should be preferred. When enteral nutrition is impossible or insufficient, parenteral nutrition could be necessary. For patients with advanced esophagogastric cancers, digestive prostheses and decompressive radiation therapy may have a symptomatic benefit on dysphagia. Adapted physical activity is also recommended at all stages of cancer care and ongoing clinical trials will help to specify its modalities and to optimize its place in the therapeutic strategy. Finally, psychosocial support could be useful. A combined approach of these different interventions on the nutritional, physical and psychological aspects is beneficial for patients with esophagogastric cancers. This multimodal and multidisciplinary approach applies to both the early stages of the disease, with prehabilitation and/or rehabilitation to reduce perioperative morbidity and mortality and the advanced stages, with a benefit on survival and quality of life, in parallel with anti-tumor treatments.

Dietary and Nutritional Support in Gastrointestinal Diseases of the Upper Gastrointestinal Tract (I): Esophagus.

The esophagus is the centerpiece of the digestive system of individuals and plays an essential role in transporting swallowed nutrients to the stomach. Diseases of the esophagus can alter this mechanism either by causing anatomical damage that obstructs the lumen of the organ (e.g., peptic, or eosinophilic stricture) or by generating severe motility disorders that impair the progression of the alimentary bolus (e.g., severe dysphagia of neurological origin or achalasia). In all cases, nutrient assimilation may be compromised. In some cases (e.g., ingestion of corrosive agents), a hypercatabolic state is generated, which increases resting energy expenditure. This manuscript reviews current clinical guidelines on the dietary and nutritional management of esophageal disorders such as severe oropharyngeal dysphagia, achalasia, eosinophilic esophagitis, lesions by caustics, and gastroesophageal reflux disease and its complications (Barrett's esophagus and adenocarcinoma). The importance of nutritional support in improving outcomes is also highlighted.

Nutritional Support in Pancreatic Diseases.

This review summarizes the main pancreatic diseases from a nutritional approach. Nutrition is a cornerstone of pancreatic disease and is sometimes undervalued. An early identification of malnutrition is the first step in maintaining an adequate nutritional status in acute pancreatitis, chronic pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer. Following a proper diet is a pillar in the treatment of pancreatic diseases and, often, nutritional counseling becomes essential. In addition, some patients will require oral nutritional supplements and fat-soluble vitamins to combat certain deficiencies. Other patients will require enteral nutrition by nasoenteric tube or total parenteral nutrition in order to maintain the requirements, depending on the pathology and its consequences. Pancreatic exocrine insufficiency, defined as a significant decrease in pancreatic enzymes or bicarbonate until the digestive function is impaired, is common in pancreatic diseases and is the main cause of malnutrition. Pancreatic enzymes therapy allows for the management of these patients. Nutrition can improve the nutritional status and quality of life of these patients and may even improve life expectancy in patients with pancreatic cancer. For this reason, nutrition must maintain the importance it deserves.

[Research Progress of Pharmacological Therapy and Nutritional Support for Cachexia 
in Lung Cancer Patients].

Cachexia is a common complication in patients with lung cancer. It aggravates the toxic and side effects of chemotherapy, hinders the treatment plan, weakens the responsiveness of chemotherapy, reduces the quality of life, increases complications and mortality, and seriously endangers the physical and mental health of patients with lung cancer. The causes and pathogenesis of tumor cachexia are extremely complex, which makes its treatment difficult and complex. Controlling cachexia in lung cancer patients requires many means such as anti-tumor therapy, inhibition of inflammatory response, nutritional support, physical exercise, and relief of symptoms to exert the synergistic effect of multimodal therapy against multiple mechanisms of tumor cachexia. To date, there has been a consensus within the discipline that no single therapy can control the development of cachexia. Some therapies have made some progress, but they need to be implemented in combination with multimodal therapy after fully assessing the individual characteristics of lung cancer patients. This article reviews the application of drug therapy and nutritional support in lung cancer patients, and looks forward to the research direction of cachexia control in lung cancer patients.

[Clinical Nutrition for the Medical Patient: From Screening to Diagnosis and Start of Nutritional Therapy]. / Die klinische Ernährung von medizinischen Patientinnen und Patienten: vom Screening zu Assessment und Therapie.

Clinical Nutrition for the Medical Patient: From Screening to Diagnosis and Start of Nutritional Therapy Abstract. With the demographic increase of elderly, multimorbid patients, the number of those with disease-related malnutrition is also steadily increasing. We now know that malnutrition is a strong and independent risk factor for morbidity, mortality, and poor quality of life. Fortunately, however, several studies have shown that malnutrition screening followed by physiological nutritional therapy to meet individual nutritional goals has a positive impact on the clinical course of medical patients. In this context, Nutritional Risk Screening is suitable as a tool for assessing nutritive risk in hospitalized and ambulatory patients in family practice. Patients at risk for malnutrition should undergo an in-depth clinical assessment in an interdisciplinary team of nutritionists, nurses, and physicians to clarify the etiology of malnutrition and risk factors, and to examine the indication for nutritional therapy. Such nutrition therapy should be individually tailored to the patient's nutritional needs (calorie, protein, and micronutrient requirements), the underlying disease and the patient's preferences. Patients should be closely monitored, and the therapy should be adapted during the disease.

Nutrition in Advanced Thyroid Cancer Patients.

In the last decade, multikinase inhibitors (MKIs) have changed the paradigm of treatment of advanced and progressive thyroid cancer. Compared with the traditional treatment with chemotherapy and radiotherapy, these new drugs have shown a good efficacy in controlling the neoplastic disease, and also a different toxicity profile compared to traditional chemotherapy, milder but still present and involving mainly the nutritional profile. Weight loss, nausea, anorexia, stomatitis, diarrhea may be associated with malnutrition and cancer-related cachexia. The latter is characteristic of the advanced cancer stage and may be present before starting MKIs, or may develop afterwards. Adverse events with nutritional impact may cause a significant impairment of quality of life, often requiring dose reduction and sometimes drug discontinuation, but with a lower efficacy on the neoplastic disease. The aim of this paper was to discuss the role of nutritional therapy in advanced thyroid cancer and the importance of prevention, early recognition and careful management of malnutrition and cachexia during systemic therapy with MKIs.

[Advances in nutritional support therapy for stroke prevention and treatment].

As a serious disease of death and disability, stroke constitutes a serious threat to human health. Because of stroke patients often have high-risk factors of malnutrition such as dysphagia and autonomic eating disorder, the hospitalization time, mortality and disability rate of stroke patients increases. Nutritional therapy can effectively improve the malnutrition of patients, which are of great significance for the treatment and rehabilitation of stroke and the prevention of its complications. Nutrients are important components of nutrition therapy, and different ways of nutrition therapy directly affect the effect of treatment. This article summarizes effects of nutrients and different nutritional treatments on stroke prevention, morbidity and treatment, and provides a theoretical basis and new thinking for further reducing the incidence rate of stroke, improving the quality of life in patients and reducing the financial burden of society and family.

Possible Rehabilitation Procedures to Treat Sarcopenic Dysphagia.

Sarcopenic dysphagia requires the presence of both dysphagia and generalized sarcopenia. The causes of dysphagia, except for sarcopenia, are excluded. The treatment for sarcopenic dysphagia includes resistance training along with nutritional support; however, whether rehabilitation procedures are useful remains unclear. In this narrative review, we present possible rehabilitation procedures as a resistance training for managing sarcopenic dysphagia, including Shaker exercise, Mendelsohn maneuver, tongue-hold swallow exercise, jaw-opening exercise, swallow resistance exercise, lingual exercise, expiratory muscle strength training, neuromuscular electrical stimulation, and repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation. We hope that some procedures mentioned in this article or new methods will be effective to treat sarcopenic dysphagia.
