Interestingly, the authors suggest that salivary amylase may have other major func- tions besides carbohydrate digestion. Te second article was reported by S. Lucena et al. being the only one treating nonhuman saliva. In this study, it was observed that dog saliva proteome is infuenced by the breed of the animals. Moreover, acid stimulation, which is frequently used as a way of stimulating higher saliva secretion, induced changes in saliva protein composition that should be taken into account in dogs as well as other animal species and humans when designing the experiments.

  • Management of Saliva and Drooling Excessive Saliva and Drooling Affects up to 50% of People with Parkinson’S (PD)
    Management of Saliva and Drooling Excessive saliva and drooling affects up to 50% of people with Parkinson’s (PD). Drooling can be embarrassing and can limit social interactions for the person with PD. Saliva and Drooling Parkinson Information Parkinson It can also be an important symptom of swallowing difficulty, which can increase the risk of choking on saliva. People with Parkinson’s disease do not swallow automatically due to rigidity and impaired mobility of the muscles of the palate, throat and esophagus. Saliva pools in the mouth and can potentially become a hazard since swallowing into the lungs carries the risk of pneumonia. If you have poor posture, saliva collects in the front of the mouth, resulting in drooling. Cause and symptoms Decreased control of saliva is most often caused by changes in the ability to swallow, rather than from producing too much saliva. A common cause of drooling for people with PD is the weakening and/or loss of motor control of the muscles involved in swallowing. You may experience one or more of the following symptoms: • Decreased ability to keep your mouth closed at rest, known as the “open mouth posture” • Difficulty keeping lips closed • Lack of awareness of the saliva in your mouth • Wetness at the sides of your mouth • A wet sounding voice • Drooling with posture changes • Coughing and/or choking Evaluation and treatment Speak with your physician about all symptoms that may not be related to PD. If you are experiencing drooling or choking on your saliva, you may require a swallowing evaluation by a Speech Language Pathologist.

Otolaryngology, Connecticut Children's Medical Center, Hartford, USA Corresponding author: Amy Hughes, [email protected] Abstract Background Sialorrhea is a common comorbidity among children with neurologic disorders. Botulinum toxin injections and surgical procedures are recommended for the management of pathological sialorrhea in patients who fail conservative management or with concerns for salivary aspiration. The following review evaluates outcomes following botulinum toxin injections and surgical interventions for sialorrhea over a 10-year period with a focus on treatment options and outcomes for patients with anterior and posterior drooling. Methods The study included all patients less than 25 years of age who underwent a procedure for drooling (Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes 42440, 42450, 42509, 42510, 64611 matched with the International Classification of Diseases (ICD)-9 and ICD-10 codes 527.7 and K11.7) from January 1, 2006 to December 31, 2015. A chart review collected demographics, drooling medication use, and type of drooling (anterior, posterior, both). Outcome variables included pre- and post-procedure number of bibs, parent-reported outcomes, post-intervention drooling medication requirement, post-procedure length of stay, and complications. Results Seventy-one patients were included in our analysis, with 88 total procedures performed. The average age at first intervention was 8.9 years; 43 patients were male and 40 patients had cerebral palsy.

  • Oral Complications at the End of Life
    CE HOURS Continuing Education1.5 Oral Complications at the End of Life Although dysphagia and stomatitis can have devastating effects on the quality of a patient’s life, there are many ways to manage them. By Constance Dahlin, MSN, APRN, BC, PCM en Eldredge, a 76-year-old retired truck driver, has end-stage heart disease and dementia. In the last year, his health has worsened considerably. He is bedbound, extremely weak, and occasionally short of breath. He has a poor appetite and is losing weight. After an evaluation including a com- plete blood count and computed tomographic scans of the chest and abdomen revealed colon cancer, he received chemotherapy, which ended Ktwo months ago. Mr. Eldredge is being cared for at home by his 75-year- old wife, Jean, and two of their adult children. He complains of dry mouth and says that foods “don’t taste right.” During meals he often coughs and sputters and says his mouth hurts when he eats and that food gets caught in his throat. His wife reports that he often must be coaxed to eat more. Swallowing difficulties (dysphagia) and oral mucosal inflammation (stomatitis) are common in patients who have progressive terminal ill- ness. Perhaps because these conditions are common within the context of a patient’s deconditioning near the end of life, many providers consider them relatively trivial and they’re therefore underreported, underesti- mated, and frequently overlooked for more prominent symptoms such as pain or shortness of breath.1-4 But swallowing difficulties and oral mucosal inflammation can have tremendous adverse consequences for patients and families and should not be dismissed.
