Rehabilitating an attrited language in a bilingual person with aphasia
Clin Linguist Phon. 2022 Apr 26:1-19. doi: 10.1080/02699206.2022.2052966. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTLanguage difficulties can arise from reduced exposure to any given language (e.g. attrition) or after brain damage (e.g. aphasia). The manifestations of attrition and aphasia are often similar so differentiating between their effects on language loss and recovery is challenging. We investigated treatment effects for an English-Hebrew bilingual person with stroke-induced aphasia who had minimal contact with his Hebrew for over 14 years. We asked whether his attrited language could be rehabilitated, how effects of attritio...

Strategies for treatment of disease-associated dementia beyond Alzheimer disease: An update
Curr Neuropharmacol. 2022 Apr 11. doi: 10.2174/1570159X20666220411083922. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMemory, cognition, dementia, and neurodegeneration are complexly interlinked processes through various mechanistic pathways leading to a range of clinical outcomes. These are strongly associated with pathological conditions like Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, schizophrenia, stroke and are a growing concern for their timely diagnosis and management. Several cognition-enhancing interventions for management include non-pharmacological interventions like diet, exercise, and physical activity, while pharmacological...

Inflammation-mediated vitamin K and vitamin D effects on vascular calcifications in people with HIV on active antiretroviral therapy
Background: People with HIV (PWH) experience increased systemic inflammation and monocyte activation, leading to increased risk of cardiovascular events (death, stroke, and myocardial infarction) and higher coronary artery calcium scores (CACs). Vitamins D and K2 have significant anti-inflammatory effects; in addition, vitamin K2 is involved in preventing vascular calcifications in the general population. The roles of vitamins D and K in increased coronary calcifications in successfully treated PWH is less understood. Methods: We prospectively recruited 237 PWH on antiretroviral treatment (ART) and 67 healthy co...

Progressive Small-Vessel Strokes Following Antiretroviral Therapy in a Patient with Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome
The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which primarily infects CD4+ T-cells and microglia/macrophages, causes cognitive, memory-related, behavioral, and motor dysfunctions, collectively known as HIV-1-associated neurocognitive disease (HAND),1 which typically occurs among patients with chronic HIV/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) with low CD4+ T-cell levels and high plasma viral loads. The introduction of combinational antiretroviral therapy (cART) has significantly improved the survival rate and quality of life of patients with HIV/AIDS.

Assessing the characteristics and diagnostic value of plaques for patients with acute stroke using high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging
CONCLUSIONS: A larger plaque area and smaller LA in the stenotic MCA, and obvious plaque enhancement might indicate that a patient is prone to acute stroke.PMID:35111645 | PMC:PMC8739121 | DOI:10.21037/qims-21-531

Using a digital spelling aid to improve writing in persons with post-stroke aphasia: An intervention study
CONCLUSIONS & IMPLICATIONS: The study shows that a digital spelling aid constitutes effective support for people with aphasia and may also affect levels other than spelling. The training had a generalising positive effect on text writing and spelling in a test. Although writing difficulties is a persisting symptom in aphasia, it can be supported and improved through use of digital spelling aids. Hence, treatment of writing ability should always be included in the rehabilitation of people with aphasia.WHAT THIS PAPER ADDS: What is already known on this subject Use of a technical writing aid can have a positive impact on the...
