The Interactive Morbidity of Bipolar II Disorder and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
Abstract: Bipolar II disorder (bipolar disorder) interacts with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) in a synergistic pattern during its symptomatic course. The relationship of the disorders is overall negative in terms of treatment outcomes and more risky and severe in its comorbid form (i.e., in terms of higher probability of hospitalization or incarceration). Somatic disease should be considered in cases presenting with the symptomology of any form of bipolar disorder as certain illnesses …

Effect of Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) on the Measures of Hyolaryngeal Elevation during Swallow in Individuals with Parkinson’s Disease
Abstract: Inadequate hyolaryngeal elevation is one among the leading cause of aspiration and dysphagia in individuals with Parkinson’s disease. Treatment protocols specific in strengthening the hyolaryngeal elevation are seldom studied in this population. Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) for swallow is a recent technical advancement in the arena of dysphagia rehabilitation that targets on stimulating the laryngeal extrinsic and the suprahyoid muscles, responsible for adequate movements of the hyolaryngeal complex. The literature …
