Growing evidence suggests an increasing significance for the extent of gastrointestinal tract
(GIT) dysfunction in Parkinson's disease (PD). Most patients suffer from GIT symptoms …

The transient receptor potential ankyrin (TRPA) channels are Ca 2+-permeable nonselective
cation channels remarkably conserved through the animal kingdom. Mammals have only …

Mechanosensitive ion channels sense mechanical stimuli applied directly to the cellular
membranes or indirectly through their tethered components, provoking cellular …

Abstract Background/Aims Dysphagia is a common complication after acute stroke. While
there are several innovative treatments being tested to improve the swallowing function of …

Background Neurorehabilitation strategies for chronic poststroke (PS) oropharyngeal
dysphagia (OD) have been mainly focused on the neurostimulation of the pharyngeal motor …

The transient receptor potential (TRP) channels family are cationic channels involved in
various physiological processes as pain, inflammation, metabolism, swallowing function, gut …

Oropharyngeal dysphagia is prevalent in age-related neurological disorders presenting with
impaired efficacy and safety of swallowing due to a loss of muscle force and sensory deficits …

Background: Older people with oropharyngeal dysphagia (OD) present a decline in
pharyngeal sensory function. The aim of this proof-of-concept study was to assess the …

Abstract Substance P (SP) and Calcitonine gene-related peptide (CGRP) are released by
sensory nerve fibers in the oropharynx. Patients with oropharyngeal dysphagia (OD) present …

The larynx and associated laryngopharyngeal regions are innervated by the superior
laryngeal nerve (SLN) and are highly reflexogenic. Transient receptor potential (TRP) …
