The incidence, co-occurrence, and predictors of dysphagia, dysarthria, and aphasia after first-ever acute ischemic stroke.
Abstract Dysphagia, dysarthria and aphasia occur frequently following stroke. Our purpose was to identify the incidence, co-occurrence, and predictors of these impairments after first-ever ischemic stroke. We used the Registry of the Canadian Stroke Network's database (2003-2008) from one stroke center to identify a random sample of 250 patients with acute ischemic stroke confirmed by MR imaging. We further conducted a retrospective medical chart review. We established reliable data capture and identified the presence of the three impairments. We derived incidence and co-occurrence estimates along with 95% confide...

The contrast between cueing and/or observation in therapy for verb retrieval in post-stroke aphasia.
CONCLUSIONS: Verb naming can be enhanced by semantic/phonological cueing. In addition, other studies (clinical, neuroimaging, etc.) are needed to document the effect of action observation for the treatment of verb anomia. Learning outcomes: The reader will be able to (1) describe semantic-phonological therapies used in post-stroke verb anomia, (2) describe sensorimotor therapies used in post-stroke verb anomia, and (3) identify factors contributing to the efficacy of therapies to improve action naming in aphasia.

The feasibility, usability and acceptability of a tablet-based aphasia therapy in the acute phase following stroke.
CONCLUSION: The aphasia exercise program in 'STAPP' is feasible to use as an additional rehabilitation tool along with standard of care in the acute phase post-stroke. Further research is needed to assess the efficacy. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION-URL: https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03679637. PMID: 33418143 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Impairment of speech auditory feedback error detection and motor correction in post-stroke aphasia
CONCLUSIONS: These findings provide evidence that left-hemisphere stroke is associated with impaired speech auditory feedback error processing, and such deficits account for specific aspects of language impairment in aphasia.PMID:34768093 | DOI:10.1016/j.jcomdis.2021.106163

Aphasia and friendship: Stroke survivors' self-reported changes over time
CONCLUSIONS: This work highlights lasting social implications of aphasia. The overall health of PWA deserves greater attention, including interventions targeting friendship maintenance and development. Continued stakeholder-engaged research and clinical practice focused on the social and emotional consequences of aphasia on PWA, as well as their friends and family, is needed to assist all involved in aphasia recovery achieve better friendships and well-being.PMID:37105058 | DOI:10.1016/j.jcomdis.2023.106330

Associations among depression, demographic variables, and language impairments in chronic post-stroke aphasia
CONCLUSIONS: The rate of depressive disorders in this sample was higher than rates of depression reported in the general stroke literature. Participant sex, age, and naming ability emerged as factors associated with depressive symptoms, though these links appear complex, especially given variable reports from prior research. Importantly, depressive symptoms do not appear to diminish over time for individuals with chronic aphasia. Given these results and the relatively limited documentation of depression in aphasia literature, depression remains a pressing concern for aphasia research and routine clinical care.PMID:36150239...
