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]

  Reading Treatments Multiple Oral Reading (MOR) —a treatment technique for individuals with acquired disorders of reading (dyslexia or alexia). [asha.org]

  Aphasia is usually accompanied by difficulties with reading (dyslexia/alexia) and writing (dysgraphia/agraphia) and may also co-occur with speech articulation difficulties ( apraxia of speech and dysarthria ). [encyclopedia.com]

  […] daily practice, all stroke patients, including those with a previous stroke, were analyzed. [doi.org]

  BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Accurate aphasia diagnosis is important in stroke care. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Basal Ganglia Hemorrhage

  A 47-year-old, right-handed man was diagnosed with an extensive right basal ganglia hemorrhage. He was bilingual, fluent in both Korean and Japanese. After his stroke, the patient presented with crossed aphasia. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

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]

Prognosis The prognosis after aphasia is much better in young children than in adults. This is mainly due to the fact that in young children, the brain has not specialized yet the way the adult brain has. [livestrong.com]

Prognosis The outcome of aphasia is difficult to predict given the wide range of variability of the condition. Generally, people who are younger or have less extensive brain damage fare better. [brainfacts.org]

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]

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]

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. [web.archive.org]

Instead we propose that seizures with impaired level of consciousness be described based on underlying pathophysiology. [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]

NHS Choices: Aphasia Provides details of symptoms, causes, diagnosis, treatment, complications and prevention. [curlie.org]

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

In our replication, groups of individuals with aphasia (9 agrammatic and 9 anomic) plus 12 age-matched controls participated in a story completion task that included novel distracter stories to prevent rehearsal. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Can Aphasia Be Prevented? As a stroke is one of the main risk factors for developing aphasia, taking steps to prevent a stroke will in turn help reduce the risk of developing aphasia. [healthhub.sg]
