The Cost

Colic surgery is one of the most expensive procedures in equine clinics throughout the world. Although costs of surgery and anesthesia can be standardized to some extent, the cost of aftercare is less predictable. It can be altered considerably by the development of complications, such as surgical site infection, postoperative ileus, and formation of post-operative hernias, among others. Colic surgery places enormous demands on personnel, time, and resources. Nevertheless, it is a life-saving procedure. Complications increase cost through prolonged nursing care, technician salaries, extended treatment with antibiotics and other drugs, repeated laboratory analysis, and high-volume fluid therapy. Additional surgery, such as repeat celiotomy or repair of incisional complications, increases the costs considerably. Because none of these can be anticipated in most cases, a critical part of case management is a complete evaluation of expected and probable unexpected costs for the owner

In this paper we argue for the aggressive management of voice disorders. Aggressive management includes early identification, prevention, and treatment of voice disorders. The argument for aggressive management is supported by current incidence trends, laryngologists' expectations, and the benefits of prevention programs.

Purpose This study continued Phase I investigation of a modified Phonomotor Treatment (PMT) Program on motor planning in two individuals with apraxia of speech (AOS) and aphasia and, with support from prior work, refined Phase I methodology for treatment intensity and duration, a measure of communicative participation, and the use of effect size benchmarks specific to AOS. Method A single-case experimental design with multiple baselines across behaviors and participants was used to examine acquisition, generalization, and maintenance of treatment effects 8–10 weeks posttreatment. Treatment was distributed 3 days a week, and duration of treatment was specific to each participant (criterion based). Experimental stimuli consisted of target sounds or clusters embedded nonwords and real words, specific to each participants' deficit. Results Findings show improved repetition accuracy for targets in trained nonwords, generalization to targets in untrained nonwords and real words, and maintenance of treatment effects at 10 weeks posttreatment for one participant and more variable outcomes for the other participant. Conclusions Results indicate that a modified version of PMT can promote generalization and maintenance of treatment gains for trained speech targets via a multimodal approach emphasizing repeated exposure and practice. While these results are promising, the frequent co-occurrence of AOS and aphasia warrants a treatment that addresses both motor planning and linguistic deficits. Thus, the application of traditional PMT with participant-specific modifications for AOS embedded into the treatment program may be a more effective approach. Future work will continue to examine and maximize improvements in motor planning, while also treating anomia in aphasia.
