How does journal club work?
Journal club is a dynamic tool that provides access to necessary resources so that you can obtain recent or older publications on dysphagia and related topics quickly.
From month to month you will find a summary of information (Complete summary: Article critique; Partial summary: Pubmed publications for the month). These will allow you to quickly view the content of articles and will help to provide you with available literature.
If a colleague makes reference to research results that you are unsure about, you can verify the validity of the article and make your own opinion on the topic in question. Knowledge of research literature will also allow you to support and justify the clinical decisions you make.
If you find a relevant article which has not been cited here, we invite you to share it with us.
Articles are listed in 5 sub-sections:
- Feeding and dysphagia
- Dysphagia: etiology and other pertinent references
- Nutrition, malnutrition, body mass index and their association with health status
- Aspiration and pneumonia
- Rheology and food science
Happy reading!

Many references are pertinent to our practice
Several authors publish a significant amount of literature on the topic of dysphagia. Some of this information may be less clinical or practice based however we have access to this valuable literature and it is important to be aware of it.
By keeping these references on hand, when you and your colleagues discuss recent references you will be able to formulate your own opinion of the available published literature.
We would like to share some of this literature with you, allowing you to formulate your own opinions on various subjects.

Hmmmm....standardization!
Texture modified foods and thickened beverages
Several products are now sold by distributors or available in your local pharmacy; however it is not always possible to purchase them for home use.
We also know that standardizing recipes for texture modified foods and thickened beverages can be challenging and requires a lot of time.
If you have developed standardized recipes that you are proud of and willing to share with your colleagues to help them save time, we would appreciate if you would share your recipes with us by sending us a copy.
A blank recipe template is attached here for you to use (click here: Recipe template form.pdf), as well as an authorization form (click here: Recipe authorization form.pdf). Please send us these documents by fax at (514) 725-4433.
A signature to authorize publication will be required for each recipe submitted in order to allow us to add your recipes to our database.
Consistometer available to borrow
The Bostwick consistometer is now available to be borrowed by all APNED members. The duration of the loan is for a 3 week period.
Please consult the attached calendar for available dates for 2011 in order to plan your upcoming projects or the projects of dietetic stagiaires. Once you have selected an available date please contact us at Information@apned.info and we will confirm your request and send you the cost of borrowing which covers handling, transportation, insurance, garranty as well as a form to be signed and returned. The cheques and signed form need to be received prior to the loan. The cheque for the garranty will be returned to the borrower once the consistometer is returned in good working order, and will only be cashed if there is any damage.
We also ask that you complete a data collection table so that we can compile results from various centers in the future to share with others.

Bostwick Consistometer Purchase & Abuse Protection Option
A Bostwick consistometer can be purchased online through CSC Scientific Company, Inc. The company also produces an add-on Abuse Protection Option (APO) which protects against damage to the “leveling screw platform” in the event that the consistometer is dropped. This can be installed in the company’s factory on a new unit, following a repair, or on an existing unit.
The cost of a Bostwick consistometer is approximately $499 US dollars. For information about the consistometer or to purchase click on the following links:
Information: http://www.cscscientific.com/consistometer/bostwick-consistometer/
Purchase: http://www.cscscientific.us/CSC-Bostwick-Consistometer/
The cost of the APO is approximately $75 US dollars. For information about the APO or to purchase, click on the following links:
