CASE PRESENTATION: Here we describe two patients with atypical focal cortical presentations. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The patient presented mixed aphasia, impairment of short-term memory and working memory, and dyscalculia. This case also presented severe cognitive and linguistic deficits. [doi.org]

Rapid diagnostic workup is necessary if reperfusion therapy is considered. Ictal aphasia is a rare condition but has to be excluded. Perfusion imaging may differentiate acute ischemia from other causes. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Word-Finding Treatments Word-finding treatments are designed to improve word finding in spontaneous utterances. [asha.org]

This account of aphasia predicts that treatment of a fundamental ability, such as STM, which supports language function, should lead to improvements that generalise to content and tasks beyond those implemented in treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Consequently, repetition is considered to be a target of treatment, as opposed to an approach to treatment for this syndrome. [doi.org]

An early and specific treatment, avoiding or diminishing comorbidities, might significantly improve the prognosis of these patients. KEYWORDS: Aphasia; Diagnosis; Electroencephalogram; Prognosis; Status [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Conclusions: Patients with Broca's aphasia appear to have the best prognosis for improvement of language function in the first year of stroke. [doi.org]

PPA is not due to neoplastic, vascular, or metabolic etiologies nor to infectious disease (Mesulam, 2001; Rogers, 2004). Return to Glossary [asha.org]

Meningoencephalitis early in life, of any etiology, is a risk factor for development of subsequent sequelae, which may be of physical, psychiatric, behavioral or cognitive origin. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

However, TEE should be reserved for patients in whom the etiology cannot be explained by routine testing. [cancertherapyadvisor.com]

The neurology specialist will confirm the presence of aphasia, clarify the type, aid in etiologic diagnosis, and provide the patient and family with an informed prognosis. [neupsykey.com]

Epidemiology Prevalence It is estimated that about 1 million people in the United States today suffer from aphasia. References Mesulam M, Johnson N, Krefft TA, et al. Progranulin mutations in primary progressive aphasia: the PPA1 and PPA3 families. [web.archive.org]

Epidemiology and Treatment Because the lvPPA has been only recently described (Gorno-Tempini et al. 2004 ), there is still little known about its epidemiology and treatment. [doi.org]

The electrical stimulation seemed to enhance language training outcome in patients with chronic aphasia. [21] Epidemiology [ edit ] Many different populations can and do suffer from anomia. [en.wikipedia.org]

It is suggested that the main pathophysiological mechanism of recovery is a cortical functional reorganization involving both hemispheres and that the participation of the various cortical areas in the recovery process is not uniformly efficient. [doi.org]

Can Aphasia Be Prevented? If you have aphasia, you might be wondering if you could have done something to prevent it. There is no effective way to prevent aphasia. Aphasia is most often the result of a stroke or another brain injury. [aphasia.com]

Given the close timely correlation with PBSCT, this episode appears to be caused by dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and might possibly have been prevented by use of lower concentrations of DMSO. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

This is because there is no way of repairing and preventing ongoing brain injury. [belmarrahealth.com]
