Assessing the microstructure of written language using a retelling paradigm.

CONCLUSIONS: Clinicians can use this multidimensional scheme for examining writing skills using text-retelling formats with children from Grades 3 through 6. This empirically based framework for measuring microstructural variables of writing provides clinicians with a 3-prong conceptual framework for determining children's strengths and weaknesses within the translational stage of writing.

Comparisons of audio and audiovisual measures of stuttering frequency and severity in preschool-age children.
discuss this article
CONCLUSIONS: Measures of %SS made from audio-only recordings may underestimate stuttering frequency in preschoolers. Although audio-only %SS measures may underestimate stuttering frequency at the start of a clinical trial to a clinically significant extent, posttreatment scores at or below 1.0%SS are likely to underestimate by 0.2%SS or less, which is clinically insignificant.

The role of color cues in facilitating accurate and rapid location of aided symbols by children with and without down syndrome.

CONCLUSION: Clinicians should consider the internal color of visual symbols when constructing aided symbol displays, at least for children with Down syndrome. Further research is needed on a number of dimensions, however, including visual processing in other etiological categories, the role of background color, and the relation of color to other stimulus dimensions.

Conclusions: The economics of speech and language therapy service delivery have received scant attention in the published literature. The paper argues that decision-making about methods of service delivery can be aided by the explicit consideration of the costs and consequences of different programmes.

Investigating factors related to the effects of time-out on stuttering in adults.
discuss this article
Conclusions: This simple operant conditioning treatment method is effective in reducing stuttering. Individuals respond to time-out regardless of their age, type of stutter, stuttering severity or treatment history, thus it is a treatment methodology potentially suitable for all clients. This study investigated initial responsiveness to time-out; therefore, further research is necessary to determine the durability of fluency over time.

Grammaticality judgements in adolescents with and without language impairment.

Conclusions: The adolescents with language impairment in this study showed evidence of reduced sensitivity to morphological errors, including both tense-marking and non-tense-marking morphemes, but no evidence of any extraordinary difficulty in detecting the omission of tense-marking morphemes, in contrast to results from other research on younger children with specific language impairment. Participants whose non-verbal IQ score was too low to meet the criteria for specific language impairment performed similarly to their peers with specific language impairment. Grammatical competence is compromised in these adolescents wi...

Does an exercise aimed at improving swallow function have an effect on vocal function in the healthy elderly?

Abstract Age-related sarcopenia or muscle wasting contributes to changes in the ability to perform activities of daily living, changes
in deglutition, and changes in vocal function. The Shaker Exercise, an isometric and isokinetic exercise, has been shown to
strengthen suprahyoid muscles and increase deglutitive anteroposterior (AP) upper esophageal sphincter (UES) opening diameter.
The aim of this study was to determine if this exercise has an effect on the age-related changes in vocal function and deglutition
in healthy older adults. Eleven females and 10 males, aged 65–78 years (mean = 70 ...

Abstract Elevated muscular tone associated with spastic syndromes can cause excessive contractility at the upper esophageal sphincter

hemorrhage suffered from severe dysphagia and chronic salivary aspiration. He was dependent on a cuffed tracheostomy tube
and a percutaneous enterogastric feeding tube. Barium swallow and esophageal manometry revealed cricopharyngeal spasm, while
laryngeal elevation and pharyngeal contractility were well preserved. We endoscopically injected 180 MU botu...

An in vitro model for studying neuromuscular transmission in the mouse pharynx

Abstract The muscles of the pharynx are controlled by networks of neurons under the control of specific regions in the brain stem,
which have been fairly well studied. However, the transmission between these neurons and the pharyngeal muscles, at the motor
end plates, is less well understood. Therefore, an in vitro model for the study of neuromuscular transmission in the pharyngeal
muscle of the mouse was developed. Ring preparations from the inferior constrictor and the cricopharyngeus muscles were isolated
and mounted for isometric force recording at physiologic temperature. Preparations from the diap...

Anatomical variations in stylopharyngeus muscle insertions suggest interindividual and left/right differences in pharyngeal clearance function of elderly patients: a cadaveric study

Abstract The stylopharyngeus plays a critical role in the clearance of the piriform recess. We dissected 78 sides of the pharynx from
55 donated cadavers and observed histology of another seven sides of the pharynx from seven cadavers. The stylopharyngeus
consistently comprised (1) a descending muscle bundle surrounding the piriform recess and (2) an additional short sheet inserting
into the tonsillar bed. Histologically, the former bundle connected to a thick fascia providing the lateral glossoepiglottic
fold, extending along the submucosa of the piriform recess, and covering the thyroid cartilage, whereas ...

The repertoire and timing of gestures accompanying speech were compared in children with specific language impairment (SLI), aged 5—10 years, in typically developing peers (CA), individually matched on age and nonverbal IQ, and in younger language-matched (LM) children.

Three types of gestures were coded — iconics, deictics and beats — and the synchrony of these gestures with speech was examined in terms of number of words encompassed, grammatical speech category at gesture onset, and relationship of iconic gestures to...
