Most often stuttering is identified with a speech disorder or speech disfluency. However, it resembles a disorder consisting of linguistic, biological, psychological and social factors, as well as relations between them. The onset of stuttering usually occurs in the preschool age or even earlier, though relatively little concern has been devoted to this period. The article presents a review of ...

Stuttering priapism is an extremely rare and poorly understood entity. We present a rare case of a 47-year-old Afro-Caribbean gentleman who required proximal shunt procedure to treat his ischemic stuttering priapism after he had failed medical management. We provided a concise review of the literature on the surgical management of ischemic priapism. This case highlighted the importance of promp...

Stuttering associated with neurological pathology in normal adult speakers is uncommon, has no consistent clinicopathological picture, and its significance is too easily dismissed. A case is reported showing that stuttering may be a presenting symptom of progressive neurological disease, and another case demonstrates that a speech disorder which is indistinguishable from common stuttering may f...

The Stuttering Foundation of America is a nonprofit charitable organization dedicated to the prevention and treatment of stuttering.

A 29 year old, right-handed male of African origin was admitted to a primary stroke center hospital for left-sided weakness accompanied by stuttering speech of 48 h duration. Results of magnetic resonance imaging brain scan demonstrated a small acute infarction in the right periventricular corona radiata white matter on diffusion weighted sequences. Thorough evaluation of his speech and languag...

Stuttering bisimulation is a well-known behavioural equivalence that preserves CTL-X, namely CTL without the next-time operator X. Correspondingly, the stuttering simulation preorder induces a coarser behavioural equivalence that preserves the existential fragment ECTL-{X,G}, namely ECTL without the next-time X and globally G operators. While stuttering bisimulation equivalence can be computed ...

This paper is focused on the contribution of phonetic tools used in prosody analyzes for the study of stuttering. Three contrasted subjects (1 Non Stuttering Person, NPS and 2 Person Who Stutter, PWS with contrasted stuttering profiles) have been recorded while performing a map task under varying auditory feedback conditions (NAF, DAF 80, DAF 120 & DAF 160). The fluency index used (ISI) reveals...

UNLABELLED The present study examined the relationship between anxiety, attitude toward daily communication, and stuttering symptomatology in adolescent stuttering. Adolescents who stuttered (n=19) showed significantly higher levels of trait, state and social anxiety than fluent speaking controls (n=18). Trait and state anxiety was significantly associated with difficulty with communication in ...

BACKGROUND Neurogenic stuttering (NS) is the most frequently occurring acquired form of stuttering in children and adults. This form of stuttering is primarily caused by neurological incidents. Owing to controversies with regard to similarities between developmental stuttering (DS) and NS symptomatology, differential diagnosis is problematic. Differential diagnosis will guide the appropriate ma...
