Dysphagia rehabilitation: similarities and differences in three areas of the world
No full textAlthough the goal of dysphagia rehabilitation is the same, population needs, clinical practice patterns, availability of resources, and dysphagia research varies greatly around the world. The goal of this review is to introduce the reader to the context in which dysphagia rehabilitation is practiced, to describe practice patterns, and to highlight the dysphagia research being performed in three distinct regions of the world: North America, New Zealand and Australia, and Japan.Marlís González-Fernández, Maggie-Lee Huckabee, Sebastian H.

China's Rangeland Law and Implications of the Expansion of the Beef Cattle Industry for Sustainable Development in Pastoral Areas
No full textLa épica culta y las Indias. La imagen de las Indias en la literatura peninsular del siglo XVI
No full textPáginas 13-27Obras como La Celestina, los libros de caballerías y las novelas pastoriles, tuvieron un éxito innegable en el mundo editorial español del siglo XVI, pero la popularidad de la épica culta que cantó la guerra entre los araucanos y los españoles alcanzó su mayor auge después de 1589, cuando Alonso de Ercilla terminó la tercera y última parte de La Araucana (Aquila 1975:15-16). Existe una coincidencia entre la decadencia de los libros de caballerías y la difusión de la primera épica culta de tema americano, de la cual se desprenden las circunstancias que rodeaban la imagen del Nuevo Mundo en la mente de los españoles. Buscaremos las razones de esta coincidencia en el análisis de la presencia de las Indias en las obras de Miguel de Cervantes y de Lope de Vega, dos grandes escritores españoles del Siglo de Oro español
<Article>The "List of Ise-daizingū-ryo" 伊勢太神宮領注文 of 1192 and "Sinpōsyo" 神鳳鈔 a basic point of view for the study of Zingu-ryo 神宮領
No full text個人情報保護のため削除部分あり建久三年に太政官へ注進された伊勢神宮領注文と、『神鳳鈔』の両資料は、神宮領を研究する上で、最重要な資料である事は論を俟たないが、しかし、従来この両資料の性格について十分検討される事なく使用されて来た嫌いがある。本論では、この反省に立って検討を加えた結果、神宮領注文は、伊勢国内の神郡所在の所領と、国外・非神郡の直轄的所領が欠落している事が明らかとなった。また、『神鳳鈔』は、神宮領注文とは別個の性格を持つ祭祀体系の確立を企図した承久年間の注進、遷宮時の日食米賦課を目的とした注進等から成り立っており、特に前者の承久の注進は、従来ほぼ神宮領の全貌を示すと考えられて来たが、事は内宮領のみである事、また本書全体の性格から、直轄領は欠如している事等々が明らかとなった。これらの結論の上に立って、今後の神宮領研究が行われる必要がある事を提起した。It is well known that the "List of lsezingu-ryo" which was handed over to the Dazyokan in 1192, and "Sinposyo" are documents of major importance for the study of Zingu-ryo, but the author feels that they have been used without sufficient examination about their character. This study is such an examination, which has made clear that the list of Zingu-ryo, lacks references to the fiefs of Singun 神郡 in the Ise country 伊勢国, to those outside the Ise country and to those of no-Singun. Moreover, the "Sinposyo" consists of documents of the Zyokyu 承久 Period (which were written to establish a system of cult and differs in character from the "List of Zingu-ryo"), and of the other documents written for the imposition of Nissyokumai 日食米 at the time of Sengu 遷宮. But the author has discovered that the documents of the Zyokyu Period, which supposedly show the complete dominion of Zingu, contain mere mention of Naigu-ryo 内宮領, and nothing on Tyokkatu-ryo. 直轄領 It is suggested that taking into consideration these new facts is necessary for the study of Zingu-ryo
10th and 11th Century Chinese Inscriptions Found at Bodhgaya and Donative Objects by Chinese Pilgrim Monks to India
No full textChōnen (938-1016), an eminent Japanese monk known for bringing the legendary Shakyamuni statue in Seiryō-ji from the Song Dynasty China in 985, was recorded to have planned a journey to India but aborted it in the end. Indeed, there is no confirmation of any Japanese monk who traveled to India in the pre-modern period. In contrast, records show frequent movement of monks between China and India between the 10th and 11th century around Chōnen's sojourn in Song. Attesting to this are inscriptions dedicated by Chinese monks found at Bodhgaya, a sacred pilgrimage site where Buddha was believed to have attained enlightenment. A. Cunningham listed six inscriptions in his report published in 1892 ; all contain records related to the production of Buddhist images or stupas and are thus highly valuable. For instance, three stone slabs carved in 1022, narrate the donation of a monastic robe (sk. kāsāya) by a monk from Kaifeng, and a stele dated to 1033 records the carving of a stone pagoda for the Northern Song Emperor Renzong and Empress Dowager Zhuangxian. While these inscriptions have been attracting academic attention since the late 19th century from scholars like E. Chavannes, the interpretation of their content is far from being resolved. The location of two of the six inscriptions is unclear, but the remaining four pieces are kept in the Indian Museum of Kolkata, which the author has recently had a chance to examine. This current article reintroduces the six inscriptions and discusses the relationship between Buddhist translations during the Song dynasty and donations made by Chinese pilgrim monks in Bodh-gaya as well as other problems relevant to these inscriptions. A notable scholarly trend in recent years is the increasing interest in the interrelations between the knowledge of pilgrimage sites in India and the development of Buddhist art in East Asia. While research for the period between 7th and 9th century has witnessed major progress thanks to a large accumulation of existing literature on the Tang dynasty Buddhist art and the concurrent situations in Korea and Japan, the situation in subsequent periods is shrouded in obscurity due to the lack of available materials. If this current article can be of any contribution to the latter, it will not only provide a new perspective to the Sino-Indian relations, but also cast fresh light on Japanese monks who went to the Song dynasty such as Chōnen and open up new possibilities to assess the impact of these individuals on the development of Buddhist art in the Heian Kamakura period
Multidimensional Dysphagia Assessment in Middle-aged and Older Adults: Scoping Review Protocol
No full textSwallowing disorders (dysphagia) are highly prevalent among middle-aged and older adults, particularly in populations with neurological diseases, head and neck cancers, and age-related conditions. The assessment of dysphagia necessitates a multidimensional approach that integrates clinical, instrumental, and functional evaluations to provide a comprehensive understanding of swallowing physiology and dysfunction.
Dysphagia is a prevalent condition in middle-aged and older adults, with significant health and quality-of-life implications (Inamoto & Kaneoka, 2022). A multidimensional swallowing assessment is essential for identifying underlying causes and developing effective interventions.
Swallowing is a complex physiological process involving multiple structures and coordinated neuromuscular functions. Dysphagia can lead to malnutrition, dehydration, and aspiration pneumonia, significantly impacting overall well-being and life expectancy (Ishizuka, Yamana, & Yasunaga, 2024). Given these risks, a comprehensive and multidimensional approach to swallowing assessment is crucial for ensuring an effective and patient-centered management intervention.

Abstract PD4-08: Efficacy of compression therapy using surgical gloves for nanoparticle albumin-bound-paclitaxel-induced peripheral neuropathy: A phase II multicenter study by the Kamigata breast cancer study group
No full textAbstract
PURPOSE: Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is an adverse effect of many commonly used chemotherapeutic agents, including taxanes. However, there is currently no established effective prophylactic management for CIPN. Thus, we investigated the efficacy of using surgical glove (SG) compression therapy to prevent nanoparticle albumin-bound-paclitaxel (nab-PTX)-induced peripheral neuropathy.
PATIENTS AND METHODS: Patients with primary and recurrent breast cancer who received 260 mg/m2 of nab-PTX were eligible for this case-control study. The patients wore two SGs of the same size, that is, one size smaller than the size that fit, on their dominant hand for 90 minutes. They did not wear SGs on the non-dominant hand, which served as the control hand. Peripheral neuropathy was evaluated at each treatment cycle using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.0 and the Patient Neurotoxicity Questionnaire (PNQ). The temperatures of each fingertip of the compression SG-protected and control hands were measured by using thermography.
RESULTS: Between August 2013 and January 2016, 43 patients were enrolled, and 42 were evaluated. As shown in Table 1, the overall occurrence of ≥grade 2 sensory and motor peripheral neuropathy according to the CTCAE was significantly lower in the SG-protected hands than in the control hands (76.1% vs. 21.4% and 57.1% vs. 26.2%, respectively, p &lt; 0.0001). The PNQ results showed that the incidence of ≥grade 4 neuropathy was significantly higher in the control hands than in the SG-protected hands in terms of both sensory and motor neurotoxicity (p &lt; 0.0001, Table 2). As the treatment cycles of nab-PTX increased, the mean CTCAE and PNQ grades of the control hands gradually increased. However, the SG-protected hands maintained significantly lower mean grades than the control hands over time (p &lt; 0.0001).
No patients withdrew from this study because they could not tolerate the compression from the SGs. The mean temperature of each fingertip significantly decreased (1.42–2.60 °C) in the SG-protected hands compared to in the control hands.
CONCLUSIONS: SG compression therapy appears effective for reducing nab-PTX-induced peripheral neuropathy. The nab-PTX exposure to the peripheral nerve may be decreased because the SG decreases microvascular flow to the fingertip.

Origen de la pasión entre Cervantes y Lope de Vega : una aportación de la bibliografía analítica
No full textOfreció Cervantes un soneto laudatorio a Lope de Vega para La hermosura de Angélica en 1602. Sin embargo, aquél se encuentra en los preliminares de la segunda edición de La Dragontea, publicada en La hermosura de Angélica con otras diversas rimas como su tercera parte. Este problema lo resuelve la bibliografía analítica. Cervantes, que vivía entonces en Valladolid, envió por correo el soneto a Madrid, donde se iba a imprimir el poema de Lope pero con mayor probabilidad, llegó tan tarde que no hubo otro remedio que insertar el soneto de Cervantes en los preliminares de su tercera parte, o sea, La Dragontea, porque ya había empezado la tarea y se había terminado la impresión de las partes primera y segunda. La Dragontea, sin embargo, fue una publicación ilegal en Madrid sin aprobación ni privilegio. Esto no le cayó bien a Cervantes y empezó así la época de enemistad entre Cervantes y Lope de Vega.論文(Article)application/pd
