TL;DR: After matching for age and sex, there were significant differences in the competence scores, history of stroke, and perceived ill health status observed between the group with dysphagia and the group without dysphagIA.

TL;DR: The Food Intake LEVEL Scale (FILS) seems to have fair reliability and validity as a practical tool for assessing the severity of dysphagia, and further study on the reliability, validity, and sensitivity of the FILS compared with the FOIS is needed.

TL;DR: This report was written by the Japanese Society of Dysphagia Rehabilitation, the Japanese Association of Rehabilitation Nutrition, theJapanese Association on Sarcopenia and Frailty, and the Society of Swallowing and DysPHagia of Japan to consolidate the currently available evidence on the topics of sarc Openia and dysphagia.

TL;DR: Anodal tDCS to the ipsilesional hemisphere and simultaneous peripheral sensorimotor activities significantly improved swallowing function as assessed by the Dysphagia Outcome and Severity Scale.

TL;DR: Tongue muscle mass in patients with sarcopenic dysphagia was smaller than that in patients without the condition, and multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the area of the tongue muscle and its area of brightness were independent risk factors for sarc Openic dysphAGia.
