This application relates to the field of physiological function assessment technology, and in particular to a method and system for assessing swallowing function in psychiatric patients based on multidimensional physiological signals. The method includes: S1, acquiring basic information and medication information of the psychiatric patient to be assessed, and collecting multidimensional physiological signals; S2, extracting swallowing feature vectors based on these signals; S3, identifying behavioral risks in psychiatry based on swallowing event sequences and inertial measurement signals, obtaining behavioral risk labels and their confidence levels; S4, extracting extrapyramidal response representation vectors based on multidimensional physiological signals, and outputting the probability of swallowing difficulties related to extrapyramidal responses through a pre-set classification model; S5, mapping different abnormal indicators to item scores for nursing risk assessment items, obtaining a total score; S6, generating an assessment report containing item scores, total score, risk level, and key physiological evidence. This application solves the problem that existing assessments rely on subjective observation and lack objective evidence support.

The invention provides a temperature-sensitive whey protein sol and a preparation method thereof, the temperature-sensitive whey protein sol comprises iota-carrageenan, xanthan gum, whey protein powder, a potassium ion source, a calcium ion source, resistant dextrin and water; in the temperature-sensitive whey protein sol, the mass ratio of iota-carrageenan is 0.6%-0.8%, the mass ratio of xanthan gum is 0.05%-0.3%, the mass ratio of whey protein powder is 3.0%-4.5%, the mass ratio of potassium ions is 0.05%-0.1%, the mass ratio of calcium ions is 0.02%-0.04%, and the mass ratio of resistant dextrin is 1%-2%. Gel-sol reversible transformation can be achieved within the physiological temperature range (30-37 DEG C), stable gel is formed under refrigeration (4 DEG C), the gel is transformed into flowable sol under the oral cavity or the body temperature, swallowing safety and taste are both considered, and the gel is suitable for people with swallowing difficulty to eat.

This invention relates to the field of pharmaceutical preparations, specifically providing anhydrous rimantadine hydrochloride granules and a method for preparing the same. The anhydrous rimantadine hydrochloride granules are a mixture of drug-containing taste-masked granules and flavor-correcting granules. The drug-containing taste-masked granules comprise rimantadine hydrochloride and a taste-masking material, wherein the taste-masking material is a lipid or waxy material. This invention, by selecting a lipid or waxy material as the taste-masking material and mixing it with rimantadine hydrochloride to prepare drug-containing taste-masked granules, and then mixing them with flavor-correcting granules, effectively masks the taste and allows for direct swallowing without water, greatly improving medication adherence, especially suitable for children, the elderly, and other individuals with swallowing difficulties. Furthermore, the preparation method of this invention is simple, requires minimal equipment, is low-cost, and suitable for large-scale production.

The invention discloses a starch-hydrophilic colloid based easy-to-swallow food grading system utilizing concentration gradient and application thereof, and belongs to the technical field of food science and processing. According to the method disclosed by the invention, a set of accurate concentration grading system is established by measuring the characteristic parameter, namely entanglement concentration (Ce), of a starch-hydrophilic colloid composite system and taking the concentration as a benchmark. Specifically, the food concentration is divided into a plurality of intervals from 0.5 Ce to Ce, from Ce to 1.5 Ce, from 1.5 Ce to 2Ce and the like, and the intervals correspond to different easy swallowing grades respectively. By controlling the concentration of the food within the specific ranges, the easy swallowing grade of the food can be directly and accurately defined, and the food can be marked on the package. According to the method, conversion from subjective experience judgment to objective parameter control is achieved, the grading result consistency is good, and a scientific basis and industrial feasibility are provided for precise design, standardized production and quality control of food difficult to swallow.
