Intervention incorporating augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) is often implemented with adults aphasia, although studies do not always specify the approaches strategies used. This study examined abilities of three individuals chronic non-fluent aphasia (NA) using a dynamic display AAC device to enhance communication. The device, Dialect Speaking Dynamically Pro, was tailored each participant's skill level treatment protocol adapted from Koul, Corwin, Hayes (2005). primary...
Primary objective: To investigate differences between a group with mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI) and control relative to standard scores error type during word retrieval in both naming discourse tasks.
Background: Melodic Intonation Therapy (MIT) is a therapeutic approach used to increase verbal output in adults with aphasia through combination of melodic intoning and rhythmic tapping simple phrase production. Although MIT was developed the 1970s, few studies have been conducted relative determining programme's overall effectiveness as well examining ability generalise skills other communicative contexts. Aims: The purpose current investigation examine means increasing gentleman chronic...
A series of outbreaks Aujeszky's disease occurred in Yorkshire during 1981-82. These were investigated from epidemiological and meteorological viewpoints to determine if airborne spread could have between any the premises. The results suggest that seven out 11 resulted virus.
Abstract Background: Individuals with non‐fluent aphasia (NA) exhibit sparse verbal output and impaired word‐finding skills. For some, traditional speech‐language therapy aids in regaining communication. other aphasic individuals these techniques are unsuccessful. Augmentative alternative communication (AAC) provides a means of communicating through devices/techniques when spoken skills not adequate. chronic NA can use AAC to communicate; however, many investigations do include strategies...
Background: Studies examining the discourse abilities of adults who have suffered traumatic brain injuries (TBI) revealed that although these individuals display relatively normal language skills on traditional aphasia tests, they demonstrate varying levels impairment in coherence, cohesion, and informational content their extended verbal output. Discourse studies with TBI population varied relative to type task as well level or approach analysis. One analysis has involved examination...
A step improvement in X-ray fluorescence imaging performance is demonstrated through close integration of a large detector array, dedicated data acquisition, stage control and real-time parallel processing, to achieve efficient elemental with <1 ms per pixel, image sizes excess 4 megapixels, full-spectral collection spectral deconvolution, at detected photon rates up 6 M/s, prototype tests the NSLS using 96 array.
Background: A basic tenet of palliative care is interprofessional collaboration. Palliative educators and practitioners lead the way in responding to Institute Medicine's (2003) challenge transform educational health systems through Through exemplary commitment collaboration, a college's academic leader, collaboration with Department Chairs Directors nursing allied professions, can illustrate analyze processes development simulated case study combat veteran traumatic brain injury.

To compare confrontation-naming in adults with MTBI to a group of normal under increased processing load conditions.A randomized block, repeated measures design was used examine response latency and accuracy using computerized experimental program.Twenty-four having sustained (aged 18-53) 24 age-matched controls named pictures from three levels vocabulary as quickly accurately possible. All participants were assessed the Scales Cognitive Ability for Traumatic Brain Injury (SCATBI) later...
<i>Purpose: </i>This study assessed the impact of stuttering via a questionnaire in which fluent individuals were asked to assume mindset persons who stutter (PWS) various life aspects, including vocation, romance, daily activities, friends/social life, family and general lifestyle. The perceived through mind’s eyes nonstutterers is supposed reflect respondents’ abilities impart ‘theory mind’ addressing social penalties related stuttering. <i>Method:</i> Ninety-one...
Background This investigation examined the effect of a speeded, computer-controlled task on detecting differences in latency and accuracy within-category name generation adults having sustained mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI). Methods Twenty-four acute recovery 24 age-matched controls were instructed to view 72 pictures computer monitor, then another item belonging same category as visual stimulus quickly possible. Results The MTBI group demonstrated significantly longer latencies (p <...
The incidence and pattern of word finding deficits was investigated in a group 50 non-neurologically-impaired older adults, ranging age from 54 to 75. Test Adolescent/Adult Word Finding (TAWF; German, 1990) administered all individuals. Overall, 28% the adults exhibited abnormal standard scores on TAWF. Specifically, 3 profiles were observed: (1) normal psychometric retrieval performance across subtests; (2) with selective impairment picture naming nouns, (3) impaired more than 1 subtest,...
Abstract Background/Aims: The purpose of this investigation was to examine patterns episodes word retrieval failure in a group adults who suffered traumatic brain injury (TBI). Test Adolescent/Adult Word Finding (German, 1990) administered 20 experienced TBI as the result motor vehicle accident. tool provides extensive naming opportunities, varied tasks, and frequency occurrence stimulus items does not change throughout each task. Methods & Procedures: Episodes failures were investigated...
Abstract Background: Theories on the organisation and structure of semantic knowledge nouns verbs have been based findings with aphasic patients focal lesions. Populations diffuse lesions, such as mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI), may offer additional information relative to lexical access verbs. Aims: The purpose this study was investigate possible dissociation between noun verb retrieval after MTBI using Test Adolescent Adult Word Finding (TAWF). Methods & Procedures: Two groups, 10...
