As this research advanced, so did the complexity of the models representing cortical input in swallowing. Additional cortical and supramedullary input in CPG modulation was proposed, such as that from the extrapyramidal, limbic, and cerebellar systems. Eventually, Daniels et al. [37] presented a ...
(Skjærbæk, Knudsen, Horsager, & Borghammer, 2021). All phases of swallowing may be impaired in PD. In the advanced stages, swallowing impairments might be found in almost all patients, but the prevalence of dysphagia varies across studies according to the definitions and the methods of...
Eligible participants are those with advanced esophageal cancer who are in need of stent insertion for primary management of dysphagia. Radiotherapy will be administered as 20 Gray (Gy) in 5 fractions over 1 week or 30 Gy in 10 fractions over 2 weeks, within 4 weeks of stent insertion. The...
