Product Information

Whether you’re on the lookout for cheap fizzy drinks, cordial or fruit juice, affordable alcohol or low-cost teas and coffees, B&M has the ideal range for shoppers on a budget. Adverse events were observed only in the GC group but not in OMJ group. In this study, five flavors of GC dry mouth gels were available including lemon, orange, mint, raspberry, and fruit-salad. In contrast, OMJ had only one flavor of strawberry. In fact, a previous study reported that a flavoring agent peppermint was associated with burning mouth and oral ulceration [ 28]. Interestingly, we observed that all participants with adverse events were those who used mint flavored GC gel. Therefore, the mouth pain and mouth ulcer were likely results of allergic reaction to mint flavor. Taken together, mint flavor should not be used for saliva substitute products. Strawberry flavored product seemed to be non-allergenic and more suitable for patients with xerostomia.

Ann Med Health Sci Res 4(4):503–510 Although the changes in energy intakes of both groups were not statistically significant, there was tendency of increase in time-dependent manner. Since the saliva substitutes contain no calories, the increased energy intake likely resulted from improved swallowing ability. Though the swallowing ability has improved after a few months of intervention, eating behavior and body weight may require longer time to be changed [ 25]. Future studies should increase the duration of interventions to 3 months or 6 months to observe changes in dietary intake and body weight. In addition, changes in type and texture of food after using edible saliva gel should be systemically assessed using established system such as National Dysphagia Diet (NDD) or International Dysphagia Diet Standard Initiatives (IDDSI) categories [ 26, 27].

Accessed 6 April 2007 Patient Generated-Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA) was used to evaluate nutritional status of cancer patients as described [ 17]. It is divided into two components, i.e., the medical history and the physical examination. The presence of nutrition-related signs and symptoms and short-term weight loss. Nutrition status was categorized as A (well-nourished), B (moderately malnourished), and C (severely malnourished). Nutrition triage scores were categorized to needs for nutrition therapy as (0-1) no interventions required, (2-3) patients and family education required, (4-8) interventions by dietitians required, and (≥ 9) nutrition therapy critically needed [ 17]. Body weight and body mass index

After 1 and 2 months of interventions, subjective and objective dry mouth scores, subjective swallowing problem scores, swallowing times, and clinical nutritional status in both groups were significantly improved ( p< 0.0001). Compared to GC, OMJ group had higher percent improvement in all outcome measures ( p< 0.001) except swallowing time and clinical nutritional status. Interestingly, subjective dry mouth scores were significantly correlated with subjective swallowing problem scores ( r = 0.5321, p< 0.0001). ConclusionsBauer J, Capra S, Ferguson M (2002) Use of the scored patient-generated subjective global assessment (PG-SGA) as a nutrition assessment tool in patients with cancer. Eur J Clin Nutr 56:779–785 A validated questionnaire was used to assess dry mouth symptoms as previously described [ 13]. There are six questions for symptoms of dry mouth, oral discomfort, awake at night to drink water, speech problem, swallowing difficulty, and ill-fitting dentures. Each participant described the magnitude of each problems in visual analog scale between 0 and 10 (no problems = 0, extremely troublesome = 10). The average of all scores (sum of total scores divided by number of questions) was used for interpretation. Score ≥ 3 indicates dry mouth symptoms. Objective dry mouth score Body weight was measured by using a body composition monitor machine (TANITA BC-730, Tanita Corporation, Tokyo, Japan). Body mass index was calculated from body weight/height 2. Height was measured by using height meter. Energy intake

Water swallowing test (WST) was used to evaluate swallowing ability [ 16]. Each participant was asked to swallow 30 ml of room temperature water and the swallowing time was recorded. Normal swallowing time for adult age below 60 is between 0 and 5 s, while that of elderly age above 60 is between 0 and 7 s. Swallowing time longer than the normal range suggests abnormal swallowing [ 16]. Clinical nutritional status

Int J Radiat Oncol Biol Phys 62(3):659–664 The study was performed according to the Declaration of Helsinki and ICH-GCP. All participants were randomized with minimization by age, sex, subjective dry mouth score, and BMI into two groups, i.e., study group (OMJ) and control group (GC). The outcome measures were evaluated at 0, 1, and 2 months after interventions. The primary outcome measure included subjective dry mouth scores. The secondary outcome measures comprised objective dry mouth scores, subjective swallowing problem score, water-swallowing time, clinical nutritional status, energy intake, and body weight. Throughout the study, all participants were asked to daily record their use of product in the subject diaries to ensure adherence to the intervention protocol. Any adverse events such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, swollen lips, and a rash were recorded. Outcomes Subjective dry mouth score Subjective and objective swallowing ability were improved in both OMJ and GC groups after at least 1 month of intervention. Nevertheless, OMJ showed better results in improving subjective swallowing ability. The significant correlation between subjective dry mouth and subjective swallowing problem scores suggested that the improvement in swallowing function likely resulted from alleviation of dry mouth by saliva substitutes. Therefore, the superior effect of OMJ in improving subjective dry mouth may explain its better outcome in reducing subjective swallow problems. Since the participants were instructed to swallow OMJ like natural saliva, its bathing effect on oral and throat mucosal walls may lubricate bolus of food, thereby facilitate swallowing [ 24]. This study used EAT-10 and water swallowing test which are screening assays to determine swallowing ability. Future studies should include more objective tests such as fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES) evaluated by professionals such as speech pathologists.
