These pathways are less well understood than the air conduction pathways, but recent research has shown...Call to action: dysphagia matters
Dysphagia profoundly impacts quality of life. Multidisciplinary research, like the POuCH study, aims to improve understanding, diagnosis and treatment. We take for granted the simple joys of life – meeting over a cup of coffee, breaking bread with friends or...
