Understanding the Broader Impact of Stuttering: Suicidal Ideation
CONCLUSIONS: Data from this study highlight the importance of considering broader life consequences of stuttering that some adults may experience, including suicidal ideation. By being cognizant that clients may develop such thoughts, speech-language pathologists can play a valuable role in identifying and providing necessary support for at-risk individuals.SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL: https://doi.org/10.23641/asha.23699688.PMID:37473446 | DOI:10.1044/2023_AJSLP-23-00007 (Source: American Journal of Speech-Language Pathology)

Reduced duration of stuttering-like disfluencies and consistent anticipatory slowing during an adaptation task
CONCLUSIONS: Decreased duration of SLDs across readings supports the motor practice hypothesis, which assumes that successive reading of the same text increases the efficiency of the speech motor plans resulting in less stuttering and decreased durations of the stuttering that persists. Pre-SLD lengthening merits further study, because it informs our knowledge of the time course of stuttered events and may be associated with conscious or unconscious anticipation of upcoming SLDs that does not decrease with motor practice.WHAT THIS PAPER ADDS: What is already known on this subject The frequency of stuttering-like disfluenci...

Effects of task variations on language productivity, syntactic complexity, and stuttering in children who stutter
CONCLUSIONS: Task effects in language productivity did not differ by sentence category and suggested limited influences of propositionality and volubility in stuttering. In contrast, higher syntactic complexity was obtained in the stuttered compared to non-stuttered sentences at the word, phrase, and utterance levels and it was the same task - conversation, that elicited the effect. Additionally, variations in task demands did not result in significant differences in %SS. The findings inform assessment planning with the selection of tasks guided by task demands and assessment requirements.PMID:37439119 | DOI:10.1080/026992...

Internal validation of an improved system for forensic application: a 41-plex Y-STR panel
In this study, a novel 6-dye, 41-plex Y-STR panel was developed and validated, which included 17 loci from the Yfiler kit, nine RM Y-STR loci, 15 low-medium mutating Y-STR loci, and three Y-InDels. Developmental validation was performed for this panel, including size precision testing, stutter analysis, species specificity analysis, male specificity testing, sensitivity testing, concordance evaluation, polymerase chain reaction inhibitors analysis, and DNA mixture examination. The results demonstrated that the novel 41-plex Y-STR panel, developed in-house, was time efficient, accurate, and reliable. It showed good adaptabi...

Exploring the Relationship Between Resilience and the Adverse Impact of Stuttering in Children
CONCLUSIONS: These results yield valuable insight into the variability of adverse impact experienced by CWS and offer empirical support for strength-based speech therapy approaches. We discuss the factors that contribute to a child's resilience and provide practical suggestions for how clinicians can incorporate resilience-building strategies into intervention for children experiencing significant adverse impact from their stuttering.SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL: https://doi.org/10.23641/asha.23582172.PMID:37390495 | DOI:10.1044/2023_JSLHR-23-00012 (Source: Journal of speech, language, and hearing research : JSLHR)
