Fundamental Frequency Contour (Melody) of Infant Vocalizations across the First Year
Conclusion: The study demonstrated the regularity of melody development in different vocalization types throughout the first year of life. In terms of prosodic features of infant sounds, melody contour is of primary importance, and further studies are required that also include infants at risk for language development.

Stuttering Severity Judgments by Speech-Language Pathologists of Bilingual Children Who Do and Do Not Stutter
Conclusion: Misdiagnosed bilingual CWNS are perceived by the SLPs as having a mild stutter, primarily based on the frequency of their disfluencies, but can be occasionally rated at par with CWS. Further research differentiating the disfluent speech of bilingual children who do and do not stutter is needed to reach a more adequate diagnosis of stuttering.Folia Phoniatr Logop (Source: Folia Phoniatrica et Logopaedica)

Pharyngeal Residue Severity and Aspiration Risk in Stroke Patient Using Fiber-Optic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing
Conclusion: There is a significant strong positive correlation between residue severity and penetration/aspiration in each anatomical site evaluated (valleculae and pyriform sinuses). Our results do not designate one site as riskier than the other because either can contribute to aspiration, but rather demonstrate penetration/aspiration to better correlate with the overall severity of the residue, perhaps as a better marker for pharyngeal inefficiency. This study offers insight into the association of residue severity with swallowing safety and efficiency. (Source: Folia Phoniatrica et Logopaedica)

Pharyngeal residue severity and aspiration risk in stroke patient using fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES)
This study investigates the correlation between pharyngeal residue severity using the Mansoura FEES Residue Rating Scale (MFRRS) and penetration/aspiration scores using the Penetration Aspiration Scale (PAS) on FEES. Methods: Two hundred ten (210) swallows were obtained during standard FEES assessments of thirty patients with post-stroke dysphagia. Residue, in both vallecula and the pyriform sinuses ’ locations, and penetration/aspiration were scored using MFRRS and PAS, respectively. The Spearman's rank-order correlation was used to assess the correlation between residue and PAS scores. The significance of the obtained ...

Language and Neurocognitive Impairments Associated with Hypothyroidism
Conclusion: Hypothyroidism influences linguistic and neurocognitive functions mainly naming ability, working memory, and auditory and visual processes needed for learning. Clinicians ought to be attentive to these impacts when designing screening and therapy protocols for childre n with hypothyroidism. Furthermore, TSH showed higher prediction of hypothyroidism and may be used in favor of FT3 and FT4. (Source: Folia Phoniatrica et Logopaedica)

Multidisciplinary perspectives on automatic analysis of children ’s language samples: Where do we go from here?
Background: Language sample analysis (LSA) is invaluable to describe and understand child language use and development for clinical purposes and research. Digital tools supporting LSA are available, but many of the LSA steps have not been automated. Nevertheless, programs that include automatic speech recognition (ASR), the first step of LSA, have already reached mainstream applicability.
Summary: To better understand the complexity, challenges and future needs of automatic LSA, including the tasks of transcribing, annotating and analysing natural child language samples, this article takes on a multi-disciplinary view. R...

Adaptation of melodic intonation therapy to a tone language: A pilot study of tone-rhythmic therapy in Chinese
This study developed a Chinese-specific variant of melodic intonation therapy, i.e., Tone-rhythmic therapy (TRT), and tested its efficacy in individuals with non-fluent aphasia. Methods: Six non-fluent aphasic patients were recruited; all of them were admitted to the study over six months after stroke and had received a standard program of language therapy. In the current research, tone and rhythmic training were incorporated into the training procedures, and the adaptation was then examined in patients. The TRT treatment lasted six weeks, with five fifty-minute sessions per week. The Boston Diagnostic Aphasia Examination ...

Translation, Cultural Adaption, and Validation of the Persian Version of the Pediatric Eating Assessment Tool
This study aims to translate and adapt the PediEAT tool to Persian and determine its psychometric properties.
Methods: The PediEAT was translated and culturally adapted following guidelines for health-related instruments. Face and content validity was assessed using an expert panel. To evaluate Psychometric properties using a sample of 160 children without feeding problems and 43 children with diagnosed feeding problems. Using known-groups validation to compare PediEAT scores between children with and without feeding problems. In criterion validity, using pediatricians ’ opinions as a criterion. To calculate Internal co...
