“…Dysphagia is defined as the difficulty in swallowing or moving foods and liquids from the mouth to the stomach and it is originated from the Greek words dys, meaning "difficulty", and phagia, meaning "to eat" [1,2]. In other words, any disorder that can prevent optimal delivery of food or drinks from mouth to stomach can be labeled as dysphagia [3].…”

Dysphagia is a symptom, commonly found in healthcare residents and the elderly, may lead to undernutrition and negative effects on quality of life. Providing special food products that cannot only be swallowed by patients but also meet nutritional requirements is a challenge for food rheologists and healthcare staff. The purpose of this paper was to review the literature on rheological aspects of dysphagia-oriented products. Also, some suggestions were proposed for better exploitation of rheological data in the field of dysphagia-rheology.

“…Some studies have also focused on the role of the extra-pyramidal syndrome, such as Parkinson's, Huntington's, and Wilson's diseases in the swallowing process [21][22][23][24]. In addition, there are a few reports on the swallowing performance in elderly individuals [25][26][27][28].…”

Objectives:The basal ganglia (BG) controls different patterns of behavior by receiving inputs from sensory-motor and pre-motor cortex and projecting it to pre-frontal, pre-motor and supplementary motor areas. As the exact role of BG in swallowing process has not been fully determined, we aimed at reviewing the published data on neurological control in the swallowing technique to have a better understanding of BG's role in this performance.Methods: English-language articles, which were published before December 2015 and eligible for the present research, were extracted from databases according to the inclusion criteria, i.e. articles related to "neurological aspects of swallowing" and/or "lesions of sub-cortical or BG relevant to swallowing disorders". Results:This systematic review indicates that BG is a complicated neurological structure with indistinct functions and that swallowing is a sophisticated process with several unknown aspects.Discussion: Swallowing is a multifaceted performance that needs contribution of the tongue, larynx, pharynx, and esophagus as well as the neurological structures such as neocortex and subcortical regions -BG and brainstem.

“…Diese Kompensationsleistung kann allerdings durch Medikamente empfindlich gestört werden, vor allem bei der im Alter häufig vorliegenden "multiplen" Medikation [19] rate (die durch ihre sedierende Wirkung geradezu "klassisch" die Schluckfunktion negativ beeinflussen können) mit 14,7 % die häufigste Medikamentengruppe [47]. Paradoxerweise setzt eine orale Medikamentengabe grundsätzlich eine ausreichende Schluckfunktion voraus [19].…”

“…Bis heute werden medikamentenassoziierte Auswirkungen auf die Schluckfunktion von Ärzten und/oder Patienten häufig nicht ausreichend wahrgenommen, stillschweigend akzeptiert (auch bei Kindern), oder die Kausalität wird nicht erkannt [19] [33].…”
