Abstract:

Background and Objectives: There are several tests to determine the type and severity of aphasia, but they take a long time to administer when assessing aphasic patients. In recent years, the analysis of spontaneous speech has gained great attention because it is important to diagnose and follow post-treatment improvement in aphasic patients. This study was done to assess some parameters of connected speech in aphasic patients. In addition, the correlation between connected speech parameters and the type and severity of aphasia was measured. Methods: We compared the connected speech parameters

Abstract:

Background and Objective: Primary Progressive Aphasias (PPAs) are rare neurodegenerative disorders classified within frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) and typically manifest between 45 and 70 years of age. In Mexico—and many other countries—reliable epidemiological data are lacking; however, estimates suggest that PPA accounts for 0.5–2.5% of neurodegenerative disease cases in Memory Clinics, with an incidence of approximately 1 per 100,000 and an average survival of 8 years. This review aims to provide clinicians with an overview of PPA’s epidemiology, clinical features, and classifica

Abstract:

This article is a voice in a streamlined discussion on methods for diagnosing adult patients with aphasia. The variety of aphasic symptoms and the complexity of the clinical picture of patients after neurological incidents often make it impossible to conduct an examination with standardised, well-known methods [see Siudak 2017]. The signals of reluctance towards the methods of examination sent by patients are uttered expressis verbis by people who have overcome aphasia: we need a conversation, not an examination. How then, do we turn diagnosis into a meeting? How can we determine the level of

Anomia refers to difficulty in word retrieval or naming which is seen irrespective of the type of aphasia.

Abstract:

AbstractApraxia of speech (AOS) is a motor speech disorder that disrupts the planning and programming of speech motor movements. In the acute stage of stroke recovery, AOS following unilateral (typically) left hemisphere stroke can occur alongside dysarthria, an impairment in speech execution and control, and/or aphasia, a higher-level impairment in language function. At this time, perceptual evaluation (the systematic, although subjective, description of speech and voice characteristics) is perhaps the only “gold standard” for differential diagnosis when it comes to motor speech disorders.

P149 Background and Methods: We studied emotional behaviors and mood disorders in 165 consecutive patients with acute first-ever hemispheral stroke. In all patients, a specifically designed observational scale for behavioral appraisal (Emotional Behaviour Index Form or EBIF) was assessed daily for four days, starting within 48 hours. The EBIF, which is independent of language abilities, includes 38 rated items, divided in the categories of overt sadness, passivity, aggressiveness, indifference, disinhibition, denial and adaptation.

Abstract Background Depression is the most common neuropsychiatric manifestation after stroke. It is associated with lower satisfaction and quality of life in stroke survivors and their families. Routine screening for mood disturbance is recommended in stroke patients {Royal College of Physicians, 2016; National Office of Clinical Audit (NOCA) 2019}. The psychological impact of a stroke can present challenges for assessment and diagnosis. We audited the assessment and diagnosis of post stroke depression in a teaching hospital.

Background: Stroke is one of the most misdiagnosed conditions that causes serious medical disabilities. Its early and accurate diagnosis by the emergency team is crucial for the patient’s survival.

Methods: The data of 103 patients, mean age of 68.4 ± 14.96 years, admitted in 2019 to hospital emergency departments of the two hospitals in Olsztyn, Poland, were analyzed retrospectively.

Abstract:

Background Clinical diagnosis in primary progressive aphasia (PPA) is challenging. Recently, emphasis has been placed on the importance of screening evaluation. Three different screening tests that use different strategies based on the assessment of language (Mini-Linguistic State Examination, MLSE) or different cognitive domains (Addenbrooke's Cognitive Examination, ACE-III and Dépistage Cognitif de Québec, DCQ) have been proposed and independently validated. These tests aim to detect PPA and classify into the three main variants (non-fluent (nfvPPA), semantic (svPPA) and logopenic (lvPPA)).

PPA is clinically categorized into three subtypes: semantic variant (svPPA), logopenic variant (lvPPA), and non-fluent/agrammatic variant (nfvPPA). Pauses that occur during speech production in primary progressive aphasia (PPA) can serve as simple and reliable biomarkers for subtype classification and early diagnosis of PPA.
