Aphasia in neurology practice: A survey about perceptions and practices
Conclusion: The thrust areas, pertaining to gaps in perception and practices identified through this study, can be viewed as “an in-time input.” We hope that changes in some of the perceptions and practices can be attained through an emphasis on education and training at multiple levels right from the undergraduate to the practicing physicians. A few more themes and domains will need advocacy actions targeted to different stakeholders.

The Promoter Regions of Intellectual Disability-Associated Genes Are Uniquely Enriched in LTR Sequences of the MER41 Primate-Specific Endogenous Retrovirus: An Evolutionary Connection Between Immunity and Cognition
Discussion We have found that, in the human genome, the promoter regions of ID-associated genes are uniquely enriched in MER41 LTRs. More specifically, nine ID-associated genes that are putatively important in cognitive evolution exhibit MER41 LTRs in their promoter regions. As more than 100 families of HERV are integrated into our genome, it was important to determine whether our findings are specific to MER41 and to ID-associated genes, and if so to what extent. Among the 133 families of HERV explored here, MER41 is the only family whose LTRs were found with statistically high frequency in the promoter regions of ID-ass...

Clinical Updates, Tips on Business and Billing, Draw Attendees to ASHA Connect
Editor’s note: This is the first of two posts from the ongoing ASHA Connect Conference in Minneapolis. This post focuses on the health care side of the conference.

For speech-language pathologists in private practice and health care, attending ASHA Connect is a slam-dunk: The sessions give them hands-on information they can use right away. The sessions—smaller and more in-depth than those at the ASHA Annual Convention held in November—offer specific clinical strategies and business tips, attendees say.

Exit Strategy: Planning for the Unexpected Closure of Your Practice
Conclusion Once drafted, your plan should be regularly updated to reflect changes in your practice and the practices of the colleagues who have agreed to assist in an emergency. Remember to include contact information for others who may be able to assist your family and/or staff, such as your malpractice carrier and your business attorney. The plan need not be complex, but it must be documented and readily available to anyone who may need to implement it. Your patients, your staff, and your family will thank you for it.

5 Healthy Eating Habits To Adopt This Year
By Cynthia Sass, MPH, RD Nutrition is a hot topic these days, yet many of my clients still struggle with consistently following through with "the basics," and the stats show that missing the mark on many healthy habits is the norm. For example, the median daily intake of produce for U.S. adults is 1.1 servings of fruit and 1.6 servings of veggies, far below the minimum recommended five daily servings. If you're going to set just one goal for 2015, I think eating more produce should be it, but I've also listed four others below. I know you've heard them before, but they are without a doubt the most tried-and-true, impactf...
