Effect of Gum Chewing on Air Swallowing, Saliva Swallowing and Belching.

BACKGROUND Eructation is a physiologic event which allows gastric venting of swallowed air and most of the time is not perceived as a symptom. This is called gastric belching. Supragastric belching occurs when swallowed air does not reach the stomach and returns by mouth a short time after swallowing. This situation may cause discomfort, life limitations and problems in daily life. OBJECTIVE ...

The Saliva Test for Tapeworm

Impairment of the swallowing reflex in exacerbations of COPD.

course. What about children with respiratory symptoms early in life? Studies have shown that there is an association between initial airway symptoms and later lung function and respiratory illnesses, and that subjects with asthma have persistent reduced lung function. Finally, did the authors account for family history of asthma and/or atopy or allergic sensitisation? In my opinion, many confou...
