Changes in the corpus callosum during the recovery of aphasia: A case report
Rationale: The corpus callosum, which is the most important fiber pathway linking the bilateral hemispheres, plays a key role in information access, as well as the functional coordination and reorganization between the bilateral hemispheres. However, whether the corpus callosum will undergo structural changes during the recovery of aphasia is still unclear. In the current study, a Chinese aphasic patient with stroke was reported to develop changes in the corpus callosum after speech therapy. Patient concerns: A 33-year-old right-handed male patient had aphasia only without limb paralysis at 14 months after stroke. Di...

Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor Genotype-Specific Differences in Cortical Activation in Chronic Aphasia.
Conclusion BDNF genotype mediates cortical brain activation in individuals with chronic aphasia. Correspondingly, individuals carrying the Met allele present with more severe aphasia compared to noncarriers. These findings warrant further study into the effects of BDNF genotype in aphasia.

Representation in Aphasia Research: An Examination of U.S. Treatment Studies Published Between 2009 and 2019
DISCUSSION: Despite being highlighted as an issue by Ellis (2009), less than 30% of recent aphasia treatment studies reported race or ethnicity, and participants do not appear to be demographically representative compared with estimates of stroke survivors living in the United States. These issues may negatively impact the ecological validity of aphasia treatment research. Aphasia researchers should more consistently report participant race and ethnicity and follow current guidelines for increasing the demographic representation of women and minorities.PMID:35344392 | DOI:10.1044/2022_AJSLP-21-00269

Communication strategies to support decision-making by persons with aphasia: A scoping review
CONCLUSIONS & IMPLICATIONS: This review presents research trends regarding the support of PWA in decision-making. Future research should focus on the effectiveness of the different strategies identified, and on the support of PWA in the making of a greater variety of complex decisions.WHAT THIS PAPER ADDS: What is already known on the subject PWA have the right to be given the opportunity to participate in personally relevant decision-making through all stages of life. Research has shown that decision-making can be enhanced with trained communication partners and if supports are provided that reduce the linguistic and cogn...

P 126. Righthemispheric inhibitory rTMS in patients with letfsided brain infarcts: Effect on cerebral blood flow using PET and speech performance
Discussion: rTMS with inhibitory effect on the rightsided homologous speech area plus speech therapy in patients with left sided brain infarcts and aphasia results in better recovery of language performance compared to patients who received speech therapy only.

rTMS treatments combined with speech training for a conduction aphasia patient: A case report with MRI study
We report the case of a 39-year-old woman who was initially diagnosed with conduction aphasia following a left hemisphere stroke. Interventions: The rTMS location comprised the left Broca area, and a frequency of 5 Hz for 20 min/d for 10 days during a 2-week period was used. She had received speech rehabilitation training 1 month after stroke. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and diffusion tensor imaging were used to investigate the functional and microstructural changes before and after rTMS treatment. Outcomes: The results demonstrated that the Western Aphasia Battery scores significantly improved for l...

Identification of Affective State Change in Adults With Aphasia Using Speech Acoustics.
Conclusions: The results suggest the existence of objectively measurable aspects of speech that may be used to identify changes in acute affect from adults with aphasia. This work is exploratory and hypothesis-generating; more work will be needed to make conclusive claims. Further work in this area could lead to automated tools to assist clinicians with their diagnoses of stress, depression, and other forms of affect in adults with aphasia.

Diurnal Cortisol Dynamics, Perceived Stress, and Language Production in Aphasia.
Conclusion This study indicates that the functionality of the HPA axis, as indexed by cortisol, contributes to optimal language performance in healthy adults. The absence of an awakening response among participants with aphasia suggests that stroke leads to dysregulation of the HPA axis, although the degree to which this impairment affects language deficits in this population requires further investigation.

Feasibility of Automatic Speech Recognition for Providing Feedback During Tablet-Based Treatment for Apraxia of Speech Plus Aphasia.
Conclusion For these participants with apraxia of speech plus aphasia due to stroke, satisfactory gains were made in word production accuracy with an app-based therapy program providing ASR-based feedback on accuracy. Findings support further testing of this ASR-based approach as a supplement to clinician-run sessions to assist clients with similar profiles in achieving higher amount and intensity of practice as well as empowering them to manage their own therapy program.
