A Study to Assess the Effectiveness of Knowledge and Practice Regarding Peritoneal Dialysis Among Patients with End-Stage Renal Disease at Selected Nephrourology Departments
Abstract: End-stage renal disease (ESRD) is a chronic and irreversible disorder in which kidney function declines permanently, making renal replacement therapy essential for survival. Among the available treatment options, peritoneal dialysis (PD) is considered a useful home-based therapy.

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 …
