Clinical and Psychosocial Predictors of Post-Event Processing in Adults Who Stutter
CONCLUSION: Findings reveal clinical and psychosocial variables to consider in the assessment and mitigation of post-event processing behavior in adults who stutter, and to bolster resiliency to social stress.SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL: https://doi.org/10.23641/asha.24223213.PMID:37816227 | DOI:10.1044/2023_JSLHR-23-00245 (Source: Journal of speech, language, and hearing research : JSLHR)

Resolution of stuttering during ketamine treatment: a case report
ConclusionsMany possible pharmacological treatments for stuttering have been studied. Some medications appear to be effective in some patients; some appear to be more generally effective but have negative side effects. No reporting in relevant literature has addressed a possible role for ketamine in stuttering treatment. On the basis of this case report, research on the effect of ketamine on stuttering would be useful. Any effective treatment for stuttering would have a significant positive effect on quality of life for persons who stutter. (Source: Journal of Medical Case Reports)

Concordance study on Y-STRs typing between SeqStudio ™ genetic analyzer for HID and MiSeq™ FGx forensic genomics system
CONCLUSIONS: Although the number of forensic genetics laboratories that are applying the MPS technique in routine analysis is small and does not allow a global assessment of MPS limitations, this comparative study highlights the ability of MPS to produce reliable profiles despite the generation of large amounts of raw data.PMID:37812349 | DOI:10.1007/s11033-023-08808-4 (Source: Molecular Biology Reports)

Effectiveness of Stuttering Modification Treatment in School-Age Children Who Stutter: A Randomized Clinical Trial
CONCLUSIONS: The significant short-term treatment effects in the OASES-S are in line with the (initial) focus of KIDS on cognitive and affective aspects of stuttering. Over 12 months, these changes were maintained and accompanied by behavioral improvements. The results suggest that individual treatment with KIDS is an adequate treatment option for this age group.SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL: https://doi.org/10.23641/asha.24207864.PMID:37801699 | DOI:10.1044/2023_JSLHR-23-00224 (Source: Journal of speech, language, and hearing research : JSLHR)

Hand Preference in Stuttering: Meta-Analyses
AbstractReduced hemispheric asymmetries, as well as their behavioral manifestation in the form of atypical handedness (i.e., non-right, left-, or mixed-handedness), are linked to neurodevelopmental disorders, such as autism spectrum disorder, and several psychiatric disorders, such as schizophrenia. One neurodevelopmental disorder that is associated with reduced hemispheric asymmetries, but for which findings on behavioral laterality are conflicting, is stuttering. Here, we report a series of meta-analyses of studies that report handedness (assessed as hand preference) levels in individuals who stutter (otherwise healthy) ...

Cost of Illness and Health-Related Quality of Life for Stuttering: Two Systematic Reviews
CONCLUSIONS: For people who stutter, there are substantive direct and indirect costs of illness. These include impairment, challenges, and distress across many domains throughout life, including income, education, employment, and social functioning. Evidence of quality of life impairment using utility measures is extremely limited. If this situation is not remedied, the lifetime impairment, challenges, and distress experienced by those who stutter cannot be documented in a form that can be used to influence health policy and health care spending.SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL: https://doi.org/10.23641/asha.24168201.PMID:37751681 | ...
