Choking in these patients can cause pneumonia, lung infections, sepsis, and eventually death, so it should not be overlooked by patients and caregivers.

Key Points: 
  • Choking in these patients can cause pneumonia, lung infections, sepsis, and eventually death, so it should not be overlooked by patients and caregivers.
  • "One of the problems for the elderly is incomplete swallowing, and there is some food residue remaining in the oral cavity.
  • Ensure that the patient is mindful of eating and drinking water, concentrating on eating and swallowing all the food.
  • Anti-choke mugs – help ease swallowing, reducing the chance of choking
    As behavioral changes for swallowing is difficult for both patients and caregivers, the research team then developed an "anti-choke mug" to help patients drink water safely.

The current method of treating Parkinson's is taking a cocktail of medications, which is mostly unable to reduce all the tremors.

Key Points: 
  • The current method of treating Parkinson's is taking a cocktail of medications, which is mostly unable to reduce all the tremors.
  • "The tremor-reducing Parkinson's gloves are the first medical device that can help reduce tremors in the hands of PD patients through automatic electric stimulation of the hand muscles.
  • We hope this will help reduce the tremors for the patients without having to increase the dosage of their medication unnecessarily and reduce the risk of brain surgery," discussed Asst.
  • The gloves can be used to reduce tremors in the hand from other conditions as well.
