Abstract:
This presentation summarizes some of the major medications that affect eating and swallowing. The medications affecting motor function, lubrication and gastrointestinal motility are discussed. The role of medications on taste and smell are identified. Also discussed is the role of medications used in the treatment of a variety of disorders such as Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, psychosis and depression on the occurrence of dysphagia.
Learner Outcomes - Participants will:
1. Discuss the Neuropharmacology associated with gastrointestinal function.
2. Discuss how different medications affect neurotransmission and control of involuntary and voluntary muscle function associated with eating and gastrointestinal function.
3. Describe how dysphagia occurs as the result of several variables, including the decrease in arousal, direct suppression of the brainstem swallowing function, impaired oropharyngeal sensation, as well as disturbances in salivation and gastrointestinal transit.
4. Explain how medications that suppress central nervous system function can affect the different phases of swallowing.
5. Summarize how the side effects and drug interactions associated with medications affecting the Central Nervous System can negatively impact eating and swallowing.
6. Discuss the impact of medication-induced dystonia and extrapyramidal side effects on choking and aspiration risk.

Abstract:
This course differentiates cortical and subcortical, static and dynamic and reversible cognitive impairment. The different forms of memory difficulties are discussed in detail, i.e. sensory memory, attention, active memory, semantic memory, procedural memory, lexical memory and episodic memory. The differences between cortical and subcortical dementia are highlighted. In addition, the different forms of dementia are discussed in detail, i.e. Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, vascular dementia, Huntington's, Lewy body, Picks, Wilson's, PSP, cerebellar degeneration and basal ganglia degeneration.
The general characteristics of dementia at each stage are highlighted. The importance of correct diagnosis and staging is emphasized. In addition, the diagnostic tests useful for each stage are outlined. The patients are differentiated regarding appropriate candidates for cognitive therapy. The participant is also given examples of proper documentation for cognitive therapy, emphasizing the need for explanation of medical necessity for patients.
The coding for cognitive therapy is discussed in detail. Direct and indirect therapeutic strategies are discussed. These strategies are discussed in different ways to highlight the need for detailed diagnoses so that proper treatment strategies can be initiated.
Learner Outcomes - Participants will:
1. Discuss the differences among cortical and subcortical dementia.
2. Identify and accurately stage the cognitively impaired patient.
3. Discuss the construction of functional long-term and short-term goals.
4. Explain the proper evaluation instruments for different levels of cognitive impairment.
5. Verbalize the appropriate therapeutic strategies for different cognitive impairments.
