Translation and Validation of the TOR-BSST © into Brazilian Portuguese for Adults with Stroke
AbstractBrazil has a higher rate of dysphagia in stroke patients compared to developed countries, but does not have a fully validated method for early identification of dysphagia in this population. The aim of this study is to translate the TOR-BSST© into Brazilian Portuguese and assess the newly translated version for reliability and validity with Brazilian adult patients with stroke. The translation of the TOR-BSST© followed a multi-step process, according to the International Quality of Life Assessment project. For validation, we included patients with age  ≥ 18 years and stroke diagnosis confirmed by neuroimag...

Association of circulating long non-coding RNA MALAT1 in diagnosis, disease surveillance, and prognosis of acute ischemic stroke.
Authors: Ren H, Wu F, Liu B, Song Z, Qu D Abstract We aimed to investigate the association of long non-coding RNA metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (lnc-MALAT1) with acute ischemic stroke (AIS), and its association with disease severity, inflammation, and recurrence-free survival (RFS) in AIS patients. One hundred and twenty AIS patients and 120 controls were recruited. Venous blood samples from AIS patients (within 24 h after symptoms onset) and controls (at entry to study) were collected to detect plasma lnc-MALAT1 expression by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction. AIS severity w...

Validation of the telephone-based assessment of locomotion ability after stroke
The aim of the study was to validate the telephone-based application of the ABILOCO questionnaire for the assessment of locomotion ability after stroke. Individuals after stroke answered the ABILOCO-Brazil questionnaire on two randomized occasions, face-to-face and by telephone, 5–7 days apart. The mean difference between the interviews was reported. Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was calculated to investigate the agreement between the total scores, and weighted-Kappa statistics to investigate the agreement between the individual items. A total of 92 individuals were included. There was no significant differe...

Macrostructural Aspects in Oral Narratives in Brazilian Portuguese by Left and Right Hemisphere Stroke Patients With Low Education and Low Socioeconomic Status
CONCLUSIONS: The present results corroborate the role of the LH in more local processing and that of the RH in more global aspects of discourse. Moreover, this study highlights the importance of investigating discourse processing in healthy and clinical populations of understudied languages such as Brazilian Portuguese, with various levels of education, SES, and RWH.PMID:35302896 | DOI:10.1044/2021_AJSLP-21-00205
