#Dementia #SLT
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.

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✨

Graphic with text: Systematic reviews vs JBI Evidence Summaries. How are they similar? How do JBI Evidence Summaries differ? a table of text explains the difference.
What is the difference between a systematic review and a JBI Evidence Summary?
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).
JBI considers evidence-based healthcare as decision-making that considers the Feasibility, Appropriateness, Meaningfulness (not just) Effectiveness of healthcare practices.
The JBI Model of EBHC is explained in various languages: www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

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
