Digital games for rehabilitation of speech disorders: A scoping review
CONCLUSION: Digital games can improve patients' speech and motivation in therapy. Although studies showed the positive impact of digital games on speech disorders, personalized speech therapy should be considered in designing these games.PMID:37283880 | PMC:PMC10240099 | DOI:10.1002/hsr2.1308 (Source: Rural Remote Health)

Short Tandem Repeats of Human Genome Are Intrinsically Unstable in Cultured Cells in vivo
Gene. 2023 Jun 4:147539. doi: 10.1016/j.gene.2023.147539. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTShort tandem repeats (STRs) are a class of abundant structural or functional elements in the human genome and exhibit a polymorphic nature of repeat length and genetic variation within human populations. Interestingly, STR expansions underlie about 60 neurological disorders. However, "stutter" artifacts or noises render it difficult to investigate the pathogenesis of STR expansions. Here, we systematically investigated STR instability in cultured human cells using GC-rich CAG and AT-rich ATTCT tandem repeats as examples. We found that t...

Stuttering in Children: Review and Referral Criteria
Acta Med Port. 2023 Jun 1;36(6):434-439. doi: 10.20344/amp.18909. Epub 2023 Jun 1.ABSTRACTStuttering is a speech fluency disorder, in which people know perfectly well the message they want to convey, even though their speech is characterized by changes in rhythm, repetitions, prolongations, pauses and blocks, and may also be associated with states of anxiety or emotional tension. Up to one in every six children, typically between two and five years old, experience a period of transitory speech disfluency, with usual spontaneous recovery before reaching school age, with a prevalence rate of stuttering of up to 1% of the adu...

Accepting Things as They Are: Dispositional Mindfulness, Decentering, Self-Compassion, and the Impact of Stuttering on Adults Who Stutter
CONCLUSIONS: People who stutter with greater dispositional mindfulness have an increased ability to view their experiences in a more objective and compassionate manner, which is associated with an attenuated impact of stuttering on their lives. As these capabilities can be cultivated through practice, this study proposes mindfulness practice as an additional beneficial tool for people who stutter.PMID:37256701 | DOI:10.1044/2023_AJSLP-22-00388 (Source: American Journal of Speech-Language Pathology)

Stalling for Time: Stall, Revision, and Stuttering-Like Disfluencies Reflect Language Factors in the Speech of Young Children
CONCLUSIONS: Results suggest that both stalls and revisions are more likely to occur in utterances that are harder to plan (those that are ungrammatical and/or longer) and that, as children's language develops, so do the skills they need to produce both stalls and revisions. We discuss clinical implications of the finding that ungrammatical utterances are more likely to be stuttered.PMID:37224005 | DOI:10.1044/2023_JSLHR-22-00595 (Source: Journal of speech, language, and hearing research : JSLHR)

Internal validation study to assess the SeqStudio ™ for human identification’s performance
AbstractThe SeqStudio ™ for human identification (HID) is a new benchtop capillary electrophoresis (CE) platform recently developed by Applied Biosystems for genotyping and sequencing short tandem repeat (STR) fragments. Compared to the previous series of CE systems developed by this maker, it is more compact and easie r to use. Moreover, by allowing the detection of 4 to 8 fluorescent dyes, it seems to be fully compatible with the different kits of autosomal and gonosomal STR markers usually used in forensic genetics, which are available in trade and supplied by various manufacturers. However, being a new CE mode l, bef...

Effects of behavior inhibition on stuttering severity and adverse consequences of stuttering in 3-6-year-old children who stutter
CONCLUSIONS: This study provides empirical evidence that behavioral inhibition to the unfamiliar may have salience for childhood stuttering as it predicted the development of physical behaviors associated with stuttering (e.g., tension or struggle) in 3- to 6-year-old CWS. Clinical implications of high BI for the assessment and treatment of childhood stuttering are discussed.PMID:37178639 | DOI:10.1016/j.jcomdis.2023.106332 (Source: Journal of Communication Disorders)
