Background. The relevance of speech-language-hearing therapy (ST) duration to language impairment remains unclear.Objective.To determine the effect of ST duration on improvement in language impairment as a stroke sequela and to compare the findings with those for occupational therapy (OT) and physical therapy (PT).Methods. Data regarding patients with stroke sequelae who were registered in the Japanese Association of Rehabilitation Medicine database were analyzed. Propensity scores for ST, OT, and PT duration were calculated using logistic regression, followed by inverse probability weighting in generalized estimating equations to examine the odds ratio for improvement in the Functional Independence Measures scores for comprehension, expression, and memory. Analyses stratified by age and dementia severity were also conducted.Results. Compared with short-duration ST, long-duration ST was significantly associated with improved scores for comprehension and expression in the overall study population and in some groups, with higher benefit especially for younger participants (<64 years) and those with more severe dementia. A significant but less pronounced effect was also observed for OT and PT.Conclusion. Long-duration ST is more effective than long-duration OT or PT for improving language impairment occurring as stroke sequela. However, these effects are limited by age and severity of dementia.

The Voice

ABSTRACT Purpose: to describe the transgender people’s self-perception of voice. Methods: a total of 60 people participated in this cross-sectional study. They attended a reference outpatient center for the health of lesbians, gays, bisexuals, and transgender people. The data collection consisted of self-administered questionnaires, a participant’s profile questionnaire, and a voice self-assessment questionnaire. Results: most of the interviewees were young people who had never visited a speech-language-hearing therapist with the Public Health System (Sistema Único de Saúde); in general, they expressed interest in having such attention. The answers revealed an impact in the axes assessed, namely: “use of the voice in social life”, “mischaracterization of gender, due to the voice”, and “indication of dysphonia". Voice symptom characteristic of dysphonia was also identified in some people. Conclusion: transgender people are unsatisfied with their voices, which is an element that hinders the perception of the identified gender. It also has repercussions in their social, emotional, labor, and interpersonal lives. Hence, it is important to include speech-language-hearing therapy in the transgendering process, which is desired by most of the transgender people.

BACKGROUND: A lot of research on the effectiveness of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) in patients with aphasia in the chronic stage deals with low-frequency stimulation, and reports on high-frequency stimulation (HF-rTMS) are scarce. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate retrospectively the effectiveness of high-frequency rTMS in combination with intensive speech-language-hearing therapy (ST) following the identification of the stimulation site using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) before, after the procedure and at 3 months in patients with aphasia in the chronic stage. METHODS: 20 patients with aphasia in the chronic stage who met the eligibility criteria for rTMS therapy and who underwent HF-rTMS for the first time were included in the present study. All patients received fMRI before hospitalization, and the stimulation site was decided accordingly. RESULTS: There was a significant improvement in all patients, rTMS to the left hemisphere, fluent and non-fluent groups by the evaluation of pre- and post- treatment by hospitalization. All groups had a significant improvement in total Standard Language Test of Aphasia score at 3 months when compared with the time of hospitalization. CONCLUSIONS: The current study indicates that HF-rTMS in combination with intensive ST is an effective therapeutic approach for patients with aphasia in the chronic stage.
