Adductor Spasmodic Dysphonia (ASD) is a neurological disorder of central motor processing, characterized by involuntary and inappropriate contractions of the phonatory muscles, producing hyperadduction of the vocal folds, which causes a tremulous, faltering and strained-strangled voice. The aim of this study was to describe the vocal, acoustic and laryngeal parameters measured for a female patient with ADS pre and post speech therapy using the Technique of Sustained Maximum Phonation Time (SMPT). This technique aims to promote increase in glottal resistance, improve phonatory stability, and enhance glottal coaptation. A 66-year-old female patient with ASD took part in this study. She was submitted to otorhinolaryngologic and speech-language assessment before and after the application of the SMPT technique. The results showed modification of vocal, acoustic and laryngeal parameters, such as re-classifying her dysphonia from G3R1B1A0S3I3 to G2R1B1A0S2I2, her pitch from severe to adequate, her spectrographic trace from unstable to more stable, and an expressive increase in mean fundamental frequency and mean vocal intensity, besides improvement of her glottal efficiency, with closure of the anteroposterior glottal opening. Speech therapy using the SMPT technique was considered a suitable treatment option for this case, given the good results obtained, especially the improvements in vocal quality and phonatory stability. The importance of further studies with the aim to provide greater scientific evidence for the effectiveness of the technique when treating ASD is emphasized.

Discursive, lexical-semantic, pragmatic-inferential and/or prosodic communication processing may be impaired following a cerebrovascular accident. These deficits require intervention methods and programmes for effective communication rehabilitation. Within this context, the aim of this systematic review was to identify and describe methods used for neuropsychological rehabilitation of the communication of adults after a stroke, more specifically, systematic intervention approaches for each communication processing. Abstracts published in the last ten years were selected in PubMed, using keywords related to rehabilitation, stroke and communication. For the communication topic, we also used specific keywords related to the four communication processing components. Initially, 914 abstracts were found; after exclusion of the repeated studies, 460 were analyzed. Full texts were examined if the abstract evidenced that the study was empirical, included at least one post-stroke patient, focused in communication rehabilitation, presented pre- and post-intervention assessments, and if it was published in English, French or Portuguese within the last ten years. Only four empirical studies accomplished such criteria, being conducted mainly with aphasic or aprosodic patients. These findings might be considered surprising and alarming, since there is a lack of systematic studies about rehabilitation of communication components. It is important to highlight the need to search for a detailed description of intervention procedures with specific goals, allowing studies to be replicated and also contributing for monitoring the effects of treatment. Communicative processing intervention programmes should be developed based on theoretical approaches, and studies with this focus should be conducted and published, in order to verify therapeutic effects.

PURPOSE: To assess the behaviors of temporal resolution and temporal ordering, sound localization, and auditory closure, and to investigate possible associations with complaints of learning, communication and language difficulties in individuals with unilateral hearing loss. METHODS: Participants were 26 individuals with ages between 8 and 15 years, divided into two groups: Unilateral hearing loss group; and Normal hearing group. Each group was composed of 13 individuals, matched by gender, age and educational level. All subjects were submitted to anamnesis, peripheral hearing evaluation, and auditory processing evaluation through behavioral tests of sound localization, sequential memory, Random Detection Gap test, and speech-in-noise test. Nonparametric statistical tests were used to compare the groups, considering the presence or absence of hearing loss and the ear with hearing loss. RESULTS: Unilateral hearing loss started during preschool, and had unknown or identified etiologies, such as meningitis, traumas or mumps. Most individuals reported delays in speech, language and learning developments, especially those with hearing loss in the right ear. The group with hearing loss had worse responses in the abilities of temporal ordering and resolution, sound localization and auditory closure. Individuals with hearing loss in the left ear showed worse results than those with hearing loss in the right ear in all abilities, except in sound localization. CONCLUSION: The presence of unilateral hearing loss causes sound localization, auditory closure, temporal ordering and temporal resolution difficulties. Individuals with unilateral hearing loss in the right ear have more complaints than those with unilateral hearing loss in the left ear. Individuals with hearing loss in the left ear have more difficulties in auditory closure, temporal resolution, and temporal ordering.

Master's Dissertation Graduate Program in Human Communication Disorders Universidade Federal de Santa Maria, RS, Brazil. CLASSIFICATION PROPOSAL OF PHONOLOGICAL DISORDER SEVERITY USING FUZZY METHODOLOGY, ACCORDING TO THE IMPLICATIONAL MODEL OF FEATURE COMPLEXITY AUTHOR: ANA RITA BRANCALIONI ADVISOR: MÁRCIA KESKE-SOARES CO-ADVISOR: KARINE FAVERZANI MAGNAGO This study aimed at proposing a quantitative classification for phonological disorder severity based on the Implicational Model of Feature Complexity – IMFC (MOTA, 1996), considering Rangel’s adequacies (1998). Quantification of such proposal was based on the Fuzzy modeling; to do so, a Linguistic Fuzzy Model was created, developed from a system of fuzzy rules, processed in parallel, using Mamdani’s minimum inference method and the center of area defuzzification method. The Model comprehended three input variables: Path Course, Level of Complexity and Acquisition of Phonemes, described in linguistic terms to which fuzzy subsets were added (three subsets for each variable). Determination of borders followed criteria and inference based on the IMFC and on the researcher’s experience. The model output variable was the Severity Phonological Disorder Index based on four fuzzy subsets: Severe, Moderate-Severe, Moderate-Mild, and Mild. The Severity Phonological Disorder Index was calculated for all 204 deviating phonological systems included in the sample using the Fuzzy Linguistic Model, run in MATLAB fuzzy toolbox (2009b). Validation of modeling was performed by evaluating severity of a representative number of phonological systems by two groups of speech and language therapists. The first, GT-I (Group of Speech and Language Therapists I), was comprised of three speech and language therapists with a doctorate in applied linguistics and experienced in disordered speech. The second, GT-II (Group of Speech and Language Therapists II), was comprised of three speech and language therapists with a master’s degree in human communication disorders and experienced in disordered speech at a research laboratory. Classification of disorder severity based on the proposal was similar to that assessed by the speech and language therapists in most phonological systems under evaluation. In addition, the criteria used in the proposal were used by Group I speech and language therapists and were considered adequate by Group II. Finally, the proposal has shown to be able to quantitatively differentiate degrees as to input variables (path course, level of complexity, acquisition of phonemes), sound classes, and distinctive features. Such findings allowed the conclusion that the proposal is able to adequately classify phonological disorder severity and presents validity for the speech and language therapists; therefore, it is an important reference for clinical practice.

PURPOSE: To extend previous research in the development of idiom comprehension by investigating this ability in children with Asperger Syndrome (AS) or with High Functioning Autism (HFA). METHODS: Three groups participated in the study. The first group consisted of 27 children with AS/HFA (mean age 11.3 years) and the other two consisted of typically developing children and adults, respectively. The Comprehension Test of Idiomatic Phrases (CTIP) was administered to all participants. RESULTS: Children with AS/HFA had lower performance compared to the other two groups. No difference was found in the performance between the two typically developing groups. Also, there was no significant correlation between the IQ and the performance for the children with AS/HFA, while positive correlations were revealed between performance and age for the two groups of children. CONCLUSION: The results provide further evidence that children with AS/HFA have difficulties in understanding idioms and they confirm their tendency to make literal interpretations. These impairments are irrelevant to their intelligence and they affect their communication with others. The understanding of these difficulties is important in order to find ways to limit the confusion and the misinterpretations which are observed during the communicative acts with this clinic group.

Purpose: To investigate exclusive breastfeeding in infants with cleft lip and/or palate and its association with the type of cleft. Methods: Data recorded by the pediatrician during the first consultation were obtained from 137 clinical charts. The sample consisted of the pediatric records of infants of both genders, with cleft lip and/or palate, born full term and without any other associated anomalies, who arrived for the first consultation between zero and 12 months of age. Data were statistically analyzed. Results: There was predominance of complete cleft lip and palate in male infants. Subjects’ mean age was 53 days, with median of 33 days on the date of first consultation. Exclusive breastfeeding occurred in 7.3% of the total sample – 6.57% in cleft lip group, 0.73% in the cleft palate, and none in the complete cleft lip and palate group. There was significant association between type of cleft and breastfeeding. Conclusion: Exclusive breastfeeding is present in only a small part of the total sample of infants with cleft lip and/or palate, and is frequent in infants with incomplete cleft lip.

Methods: Data recorded by the pediatrician during the first consultation were obtained from 137 clinical charts. The sample consisted of the pediatric records of infants of both genders, with cleft lip and/or palate, born full term and without any other associated anomalies, who arrived for the first consultation between zero and 12 months of age. Data were statistically analyzed. Results: There was predominance of complete cleft lip and palate in male infants. Subjects’ mean age was 53 days, with median of 33 days on the date of first consultation. Exclusive breastfeeding occurred in 7.3% of the total sample – 6.57% in cleft lip group, 0.73% in the cleft palate, and none in the complete cleft lip and palate group. There was significant association between type of cleft and breastfeeding. Conclusion: Exclusive breastfeeding is present in only a small part of the total sample of infants with cleft lip and/or palate, and is frequent in infants with incomplete cleft lip.","PeriodicalId":21204,"journal":{"name":"Revista Da Sociedade Brasileira De Fonoaudiologia","volume":"16 1","pages":"417-421"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1590/S1516-80342011000400009","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67593477","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

PURPOSE: This research identified intellectual production regarding the subject disability, developed at the Speech, Language and Hearing Sciences program at the Universidad del Valle, Colombia, during 1996-2008, establishing relationships between historical developments of the disability concept and focusing on its social approach models and its relationship with the work of this discipline. METHODS: Descriptive study that included all theses that were found in the academic program during the evaluation period (n=98). The theoretical study of the documents included six variables: disability model, intervention components, fields of activity, performance areas of the discipline, study type, and population. RESULTS: The rehabilitation model of disability (53%) prevailed over the social models (32%), although the later have increased in recent years. The subject areas found were language (32%), professional issues (24%), speech (20%), communication (13%), and hearing (11%). The intervention component of habilitation/rehabilitation (41%) prevailed over the promotion and prevention (33%), and there was a strong positivist tendency (65%) and a timid position for hermeneutical approaches (21%). Forty three percent of the population emphasized the occupational role. CONCLUSION: It was found a greater number of theses framed in the rehabilitation model, but the results showed the consolidation of a research culture towards the social models of disability in recent years. It is evidenced that Speech, Language and Hearing Sciences seeks the rehabilitation of communicative and linguistic processes of subjects, with an upward path in the direction of potentiating social and cultural variables.

PURPOSE: To investigate the possible existing correlations between trait anxiety, state anxiety, and vocal parameters. METHODS: Participants were 24 adult subjects, 12 men and 12 women, with ages between 19 and 42 years, with no psychiatric history. The score in the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), especially the STAI-Trait, enabled the division of participants into two groups: low anxiety (LA) and high anxiety (HA). Psychological parameters (STAI) and vocal parameters (self-assessment through the vocal signs and symptoms questionnaire and the Voice-Related Quality of Life - V-RQoL protocol; perceptual, auditory and visual assessment of vocal behavior with the description of voice, speech and body parameters; and acoustic analysis). The sustained production o the vowel /a/, counting numbers, and a discourse regarding the subjects' greatest anxiety moments constituted the analyzed material. RESULTS: The higher the trait anxiety indicated by STAI, the greater the evidence of anxiety in connected speech and discourse; the higher the vocal pitch, the greater the impairment in speech articulation, coordination between breathing and speech, body movement and facial expression. The higher the state anxiety, the greater the evidence of anxiety in various parameters of the speech, with imbalance in vocal resonance, alterations in the modulation and articulation of speech and in facial expression. CONCLUSION: The trait and state of anxiety differentiated the communicative behavior of individuals, involving changes in the body, speech and voice.
