TLDR
A method of estimating transit time during the pharyngeal phase of deglutition was used to study patients with Parkinsonism in a trial of the effects of L-dopa, which was shown to have no demonstrable effect.Abstract:
A method of estimating transit time during the pharyngeal phase of deglutition is described. It was used to study patients with Parkinsonism in a trial of the effects of L-dopa, which was shown to have no demonstrable effect.read more

Swallowing abnormalities and their response to treatment in Parkinson's disease
TL;DR: Improvement in general parkinsonian signs was not a reliable indicator of improved swallowing, and seven patients had improved swallowing after levodopa, whereas 1 worsened.

Esophageal Lewy bodies associated with ganglion cell loss in achalasia: Similarity to Parkinson's disease
TL;DR: It is indicated that a subset of achalasia and Parkinson's disease patients with dysphagia may have similar mechanisms of neuronal degeneration responsible for esophageal dysfunction.

Modification of Parkinsonism--chronic treatment with L-dopa.
TL;DR: Slowly increasing oral doses of L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-dopa) induced at least partial improvement of some manifestations in a series of 28 patients with Parkinsonism.
Journal ArticleDOI
Treatment of parkinsonism with levodopa.
TL;DR: Under the most optimal circumstances, the best that can be expected from their judicious administration is a 20% reduction in the severity of symptoms with a modest improvement of functional capacity.

L-dopa in postencephalitic parkinsonism
TL;DR: It is concluded that L-dopa has a useful role in the management of postencephalitic parkinsonism and adverse reactions in some patients suggest that treatment should be initiated with caution, if possible in hospital.

Neuromuscular disorders affecting the pharynx. Cineradiographic analysis
TL;DR: Technical advantages of continuous filming or tape recording in the analysis of swallowing suggest its routine use in clinical evaluation in patients with neurologic and muscular disorders.
