AbstractMucopolysaccharidoses (MPS) show a strong involvement of the skeleton and the joints and partly a significant reduction in growth. Nevertheless, adult patients are particularly interested in being recognized as integrated members of society, and having families and professions. Because of their physical limitations, they always reach their limits. In recent years, numerous devices have come on the market and/or have been improved, which can make everyday life easier. Various improvements are due to new materials such as carbon or silicon and due to electronics/robotics. Amenities such as automated doors, motion detectors, lifts, smartphones with integrated remote control, among others, originally invented for normal consumers prove to be a great help for handicapped persons. What was meant for the masses proves to be extremely useful for patients with MPS.

ABSTRACT Objectives To assess speech performance of adult patients undergoing orthodontic treatment with Invisalign. Materials and Methods Twenty-four adult patients with Invisalign (Invisalign group: 6 men, 18 women; average age; 34.88 years) and 20 adult patients with fixed labial appliances (fixed group: 5 men, 15 women; average age; 38.85 years) were evaluated. Speech was recorded immediately before delivery of the first set of clear aligners or bonding of labial appliances (T0), immediately after delivery or bonding (T1), and 2 months after delivery or bonding (T2). Speech was evaluated via a combination of three auditory analyses: (1) objective acoustic analysis through digital sonography, (2) semiobjective assessment by six speech and language pathologists, and (3) subjective assessment patient questionnaire. Results The objective acoustic analysis showed a statistically significant difference over time from T0 to T1, T1 to T2, and T0 to T2 for Invisalign patients. The semiobjective analysis revealed a significant speech alteration from T0 to T1 and T1 to T2 for both groups, and from T0 to T2 in the Invisalign group. The subjective analysis showed a significant difference between means of Invisalign and fixed group patient perception at both T1 and T2. Conclusions Invisalign treatment significantly affected speech, and although patients experience some level of adaptation, speech does not return to normal after 2 months of treatment.

SummaryAim: Investigation of symptoms of chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) in geriatric patients > 65 years and their relation to activities of daily life and locomotion.Methods: This monocenter pilot study collects data from patients of a geriatric hospital. We qualified Activities of daily live by Barthel Index, locomotion via Timed-Up-and-Go-test and clinical CEAP levels and included data from the Venous Clinical Severity Score and the patient questionnaire of the German Society of Phlebology. Additionally a duplex-sonographic screening was performed. Identified CEAP levels were correlated with results of the scores mentioned above.Results: 42 patients with an average age of 80.5 (64–93) years were included. 76.2 % of them had a CEAP-score of ≥3. CEAP-score 5-6 correlated with limited locomotion and independence in activities of daily life. 81 % of the patients had previous venous therapies.Conclusion: CVI is an underestimated disease in elder patients. In our collective a great part of patients showed relevant clinical symptoms of CVI which were aggravated by limitations of higher age. Early diagnostic and therapy of CVI are indicated to reduce complicated clinical courses.

AbstractBackgroundAlthough sports participation is allowed to most adult patients with corrected tetralogy of Fallot, a reduced exercise tolerance and reduced perceived physical functioning is often present in these patients. We aimed to investigate daily physical activity in adults with tetralogy of Fallot and to investigate the underlying determinants of physical activity in daily life.MethodsWe studied 73 patients with tetralogy of Fallot (53 male; mean age 27.3 ± 7.9 years) who underwent echocardiography and cardiopulmonary exercise testing, and who completed questionnaires about physical activity and perceived health status. All variables were compared with data from a general population. Relationships were studied by Pearson or Spearman correlation coefficients with correction for multiple testing.ResultsPatients were significantly less active compared with the general population (p > 0.05), 55% of all patients were sedentary, 27% had an active or moderately active lifestyle, and 18% of the group had a vigorously active lifestyle. Peak oxygen uptake (71 ± 16%; p < 0.0001) was significantly reduced and related to reduced physical activity levels (r = 0.229; p = 0.017) and perceived physical functioning (r = 0.361; p = 0.002).ConclusionsAdult patients with tetralogy of Fallot have a sedentary lifestyle and are less active than the general population. Inactivity significantly contributes to reduced exercise capacity, in addition to the impairment based on the cardiac condition. Moreover, reduced exercise capacity and the intensity of sports performed in daily life are related to perceived physical functioning. Individual patient counselling on physical activity might be a low-cost, high-benefit measure to be taken in this patient population.

Counseling Adolescents

Abstract Audiologists have a responsibility to counsel patients with auditory concerns on methods to manage the inherent challenges associated with hearing loss at every point in the process: evaluation, hearing aid fitting, and follow-up visits. Adolescents with hearing loss struggle with the typical developmental challenges along with communicative challenges that can erode one's self-esteem and self-worth. The feeling of “not being connected” to peers can result in feelings of isolation and depression. This article advocates the use of a Narrative Therapy approach to counseling adolescents with hearing loss. Adolescents with hearing loss often have problem-saturated narratives regarding various components of their daily life, friendships, amplification, academics, etc. Audiologists can work with adolescents with hearing loss to deconstruct the problem-saturated narratives and rebuild the narratives into a more empowering message. As the adolescent retells their positive narrative, they are likely to experience increased self-esteem and self-worth.

Abstract Background: Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) is recognized as the signature injury of the current conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, yet there remains limited understanding of the persisting cognitive deficits of mTBI sustained in combat. Speech-language pathologists (SLPs) have traditionally been responsible for evaluating and treating the cognitive-communication disorders following severe brain injuries. The evaluation instruments historically used are insensitive to the subtle deficits found in individuals with mTBI. Objectives: Based on the limited literature and clinical evidence describing traditional and current tests for measuring cognitive-communication deficits (CCD) of TBI, the strengths and weaknesses of the instruments are discussed relative to their use with mTBI. It is necessary to understand the nature and severity of CCD associated with mTBI for treatment planning and goal setting. Yet, the complexity of mTBI sustained in combat, which often co-occurs with PTSD and other psychological health and physiological issues, creates a clinical challenge for speech-language pathologists worldwide. The purpose of the paper is to explore methods for substantiating the nature and severity of CCD described by service members returning from combat. Methods: To better understand the nature of the functional cognitive-communication deficits described by service members returning from combat, a patient questionnaire and a test protocol were designed and administered to over 200 patients. Preliminary impressions are described addressing the nature of the deficits and the challenges faced in differentiating the etiologies of the CCD. Conclusions: Speech-language pathologists are challenged with evaluating, diagnosing, and treating the cognitive-communication deficits of mTBI resulting from combat-related injuries. Assessments that are sensitive to the functional deficits of mTBI are recommended. An interdisciplinary rehabilitation model is essential for differentially diagnosing the consequences of mTBI, PTSD, and other psychological and physical health concerns.
