Satiety.

View original source ↗Export metadata ↓

Abstract

Satiation is a sequence of physiological processes involving a variety of signals and loci which ultimately converge on the brain to bring about satiety and the termination of a meal. Signs of satiety have been inferred from their temporal relation to meal termination. Measurement of satiety involves quantifying amount of food consumed and correlating it with physiological and cognitive changes, such that increases or decreases in these measures (either singly or in combination) reach some as yet undefined threshold level when eating stops.

Learning to eat after radiation therapy for throat cancer.

PURPOSE: The initial purpose was to find more expedient ways for learning to eat for personal rehabilitation. The secondary purposes were to inform other radiation therapy patients and to inform clinicians and therapists involved in rehabilitation of throat cancer patients. METHOD: This is an account of personal experiences of the author who is a throat cancer survivor. This rehabilitation engineer, and his social worker wife, systematically sought and found more effective ways for learning to eat again. RESULTS: More effective approaches for discovering, preparing, presenting and consuming food by recovering throat cancer patients were identified. CONCLUSION: The rehabilitation process for patients with radiation damage to the throat can be enhanced through simple methods and dedicated efforts of the patients themselves.
