The infection of the red cells by malaria parasites, particularlyP. falciparum, results in progressive and dramatic structural, biochemical, and mechanical modifications of the red cells that can worsen into life-threatening complications of malaria. While the vast majority of severe malaria and related...

Older patients are particularly vulnerable to dysphagia because multiple age-related changes increase the risk of dysphagia. Physicians in charge of older patients should be aware that malnutrition, dehydration, and pneumonia are frequently caused by (unrecognized) dysphagia. The diagnosis is...
Bacteriologically, aspiration pneumonia is usually polymicrobial with a predominance of Gram-negative enteric bacilli. However, there is emerging evidence to suggest that odontogenic sources may complicate the severity of bacterial load. The principles behind science-based interventions are prim...
The second phase was manifested by the rapid onset of bilateral pneumonia, infiltrates accompanied by a variable degree of hypoxaemia, and possible passage of some patients into the third phase characterized by the development of severe respiratory failure (ARDS) and other organ failure and high ...
One of these studies done in 2012 gave 148 nursing home residents a FEES and tracked them for 3 months.99 Although only 7% showed aspiration of secretions in the FEES, secretions proved to be the only significant predictor of pneumonia. Therapeutic approaches and interventions The main goal of ...
