Chewing and food consistency: effects on bolus transport and swallow initiation.
Eiichi Saitoh,Seiko Shibata,Koichiro Matsuo,Koichiro Matsuo,Mikoto Baba,Wataru Fujii,Jeffrey B. Palmer +6 more
TL;DR: Chewing appeared to reduce the effectiveness of the posterior tongue-palate seal, allowing oral contents to spill into the pharynx, and eating two-phase foods with both solid and liquid phases may increase the risk of aspiration in dysphagic individuals with impaired airway protective reflexes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of dental treatment on the quality of life and activities of daily living in institutionalized elderly in Japan
Mariko Naito,Tomohisa Kato,Wataru Fujii,Megumi Ozeki,Michio Yokoyama,Nobuyuki Hamajima,Eiichi Saitoh +6 more
TL;DR: It is shown that dental treatments increased the oral health-related QOL and the expression function in the ADL and promoting dental care service at nursing facilities may be beneficial for maintaining the residents' QOL.
Journal ArticleDOI
Efficacy of a novel training food based on the process model of feeding for mastication and swallowing ― A preliminary study in elderly individuals living at a residential facility ―
Kazuharu Nakagawa,Koichiro Matsuo,Seiko Shibata,Yoko Inamoto,Yuriko Ito,Kazumi Abe,Naoto Ishibashi,Wataru Fujii,Eiichi Saitoh +8 more
TL;DR: The findings suggest that CSM has an initial consistency that requires chewing but changes to a texture equivalent to puree at the time of swallowing, and is currently planning to verify the safety and efficacy of CSM in individuals with dysphagia.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chiaki Tsushima,Eiichi Saitoh,Mikoto Baba,Michio Yokoyama,Wataru Fujii,Sumiko Okada,Hiroshi Uematsu +6 more
TL;DR: It was revealed that there was a significant interaction between the swallowing type and trajectory pattern, and laryngeal penetration was the highest for the combination of individual swallow of i-Continuous type and pattern L.
