Multilingualism and acquired neurogenic speech disorders

Acquired neurogenic communication disorders can affect language, speech, or both. Although neurogenic speech disorders have been researched for a considerable time, much of this work has been restricted to a few languages (mainly English, with German, French, Japanese and Chinese also represented). Further, the work has concentrated on monolingual speakers. In this account, I aim to outline the...

Neuropeptides in neurogenic disorders of the cardiovascular control.

Growing number of studies reveal that the brain neural network plays significant role in the short-term and long-term regulation of the cardiovascular functions. The neurons involved in the complex neurogenic control of the cardiovascular system use classical neurotransmitters and nonconventional mediators such as peptides (angiotensin II, vasopressin, natriuretic peptides, endothelins, opioids...

Neurogenic Dysphagia in Brainstem Disorders and EMG Evaluation

Neurogenic dysphagia is a prevalent condition that may result in serious complications. Screening and follow up are critical for early diagnosis, prognosis and management which can mitigate its complications and be cost-saving. Several Neurophysiological methods are described to evaluate the Neurogenic Dysphagia including Single Bolus Analysis, Dysphagia Limit, Cricopharyngeal sphinter electrom...

Communication disorders.

INTRODUCTION This is a round table presentation on disorders of communication. Diagnostic and therapeutic challenges are analyzed. Autism is considered to be an important clinical syndrome in which there may be different degrees of affectation of behaviour, alterations of language and deficit in social interaction. There is therefore a similar phenotype with slight differences probably due to d...
