Brazilian Portuguese Adaptation and Validation of the Language Screening Test for Poststroke Patients
CONCLUSION: The Brazilian Portuguese version of the LAST is a valid, simple, easy, and rapid test to screen poststroke aphasia in hospital settings.SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL: https://doi.org/10.23641/asha.23548911.PMID:37410632 | DOI:10.1044/2023_JSLHR-22-00611

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

Tube feeding predictors after ischemic hemispheric stroke during hospitalization
CONCLUSION: Tube feeding during patients hospitalization after ischemic hemispheric stroke was predicted by the severity of stroke and signs of airway permeation.Key pointsSwallowing difficulty is one of the most common post-stroke consequences.There are few studies on the characterization of post-stroke patients with tube feeding.Tube feeding after ischemic stroke predictors were severity of stroke and signs of airway permeation.PMID:33775213 | DOI:10.1080/14015439.2021.1899279

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...

Dysphagia and Associated Pneumonia in Stroke Patients from Brazil: A Systematic Review
AbstractDysphagia and its associated complications are expected to be relatively more frequent in stroke patients in Brazil than in similar patients treated in developed countries due to the suboptimal stroke care in many Brazilians medical services. However, there is no estimate of dysphagia and pneumonia incidence for the overall stroke population in Brazil. We conducted a systematic review of the recent literature to address this knowledge gap, first screening citations for relevance and then rating full articles of accepted citations. At both levels, judgements were made by two independent raters according to a priori ...
