An empirically derived short form of the Boston naming test.
The Boston Naming Test (BNT) is one of the most commonly used tests of confrontation naming. The length of the test, particularly when administered to impaired patients, has prompted the derivation of several abbreviated forms. Short forms of the BNT have typically been equated in terms of difficulty, but not empirically derived for discriminating between normals and anomic patients. Furthermor...
متن کاملTemporal lobe epilepsy with mesial temporal sclerosis: hippocampal neuronal loss as a predictor of surgical outcome.
OBJECTIVE To analyze retrospectively a series of patients with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) and mesial temporal sclerosis (MTS), and the association of patterns of hippocampal sclerosis with clinical data and surgical prognosis. METHOD Sixty-six patients with medically refractory TLE with unilateral MTS after anterior temporal lobectomy were included. Quantitative neuropathological evaluation...
متن کامل[Boston Naming Test: performance of Brazilian population from São Paulo].
BACKGROUND The Boston Naming Test is frequently used to evaluate naming deficits. The scores used in Brazil have been the same as those used in the American version. In the case of individuals with poor schooling associated to cerebral lesions, a frequent situation in our country, one runs the risk of considering a poor performance as a deficit, what in fact is a consequence of lack of knowledg...
متن کاملAbsolute spike frequency as a predictor of surgical outcome in temporal lobe epilepsy
PURPOSE Frequent interictal epileptiform abnormalities may correlate with poor prognosis after temporal lobe resection for refractory epilepsy. To date, studies have focused on limited resections such as selective amygdalohippocampectomy and apical temporal lobectomy without hippocampectomy. However, it is unclear whether the frequency of spikes predicts outcome after standard anterior temporal...
متن کاملCategory-specific Naming Deficit after Epilepsy Surgery in the Left Temporal Lobe: Fact or Fiction?
Objective. Object naming for specific semantic categories was assessed in a sample of 24 patients with left temporal lobe epilepsy. Testing occurred during preoperative clinical diagnostics and 6 months after surgery. Background. Category-specific deficits constitute a naming disorder for living or nonliving objects or subsets of these categories (e.g. animals, fruits, tools) with relatively sp...
