I'm delighted to share our study on what people with #Parkinson's disease & family members consider important to measure in #dysphagia interventions. Key message: penetration/aspiration is really important, but fear of choking may be overlooked in current research studies. ➳ rdcu.be/d2Nmn

dysphagia matters @dysphagiamatters.bsky.social · 18/12/2024
Do we all mean the same when talking about dysphagia? Surprisingly, there is still no agreed definition 😱 Listen to Prof. Debra Suiter, Prof. Giselle Carnaby & Dr. Martin Brodsky, who are working to establish a definition of dysphagia. ✨Wishing you all a wonderful holiday✨

I needed to search for “review(s) of review(s)” today. The options were to search it in one of the following ways: (review* of review*).tw <-- If you do this, Ovid will allow any other word to take the place of the stop-word. This brings in more than 14000 irrelevant results (noise).

When Aquarius & Wever began a #SystematicReview of potential #stroke treatments IN 2023, they were shocked. Their initial literature search on drugs to treat hemorrhagic #CVA found ≈600 studies when they expected only 50 to 60—a DEFINITE ⛳red flag. www.science.org/content/arti... 🦋 #bskySPEECHIES

‘Systematic reviews’ that aim to extract broad conclusions from many studies are in peril
Fake papers are “poisoning the well” for these gold-standard syntheses, researchers say
