Although many authors consider aprosodia and amusia to be synonymous, they actually represent two distinct communication disorders. Amusia refers to a profound deficit involving musical abilities, whereas aprosodia refers to deficits regarding the emotional content of speech. Many authors have
OBJECTIVE
This qualitative study explored mothers' perceptions of their children's communication disabilities, emergent literacy development, and speech-language therapy programs.
METHODS
Participants were 14 Mexican immigrant mothers and their children (age 17-47 months) who were receiving
OBJECTIVE
Communication disorders have been acknowledged as a major public health issue because they compromise early childhood development, restrict vocational attainment and undermine the economic well being of the society. The aim of this study is to determine the pattern of communication
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate components of clinical semiology in the differential diagnosis of communication disorders (TC) and their possible biological markers. We consider two groups, according to the communication disorders themselves and their effects on social interaction. In the first case both
Aim: To test the prediction of communication disorder severity at 5 years of age from characteristics at 2 years for children with cerebral palsy (CP) whose communication is giving cause for concern.
Intensive monitoring (prolonged, telemetered EEG recording, video tape recording, and plasma drug level monitoring) has an integral role in the correct diagnosis and treatment of patients with intractable epilepsy or suspected epilepsy. The intensive monitoring unit at the Clinical Epilepsy Section,
Children affected by pathologies causing neurodisability go through motor, cognitive, sensory and other limitations. The selection of assistive products can influence their level of independence and quality of life.The present study investigated the
A synthetic procedure for the preparation of imidazolidinediones by the base-catalyzed cyclization of propargylureas is described. This method appears to be the most versatile way of obtaining these compounds containing tertiary groups substituted on ring-nitrogen number 3. One of these derivatives,
Ten affected individuals are described from a kindred with autosomal dominant familial Alzheimer's disease in which a mutation in the amyloid precursor protein gene results in a valine to glycine substitution at amyloid precursor protein 717 which co-segregates with the disease. The mean age at
Previous results of anticonvulsant activity in several imidooxy carboxylates related to (aminooxy)acetic acid in young chicks, prompted an in-depth reinvestigation of these analogues in mice. A series of 22 succinimidooxy, phthalimidooxy, and naphthalimidooxy carboxylates were synthesized and
The Epilepsy Branch of the National Institute of Neurological and Communicative Disorders and Stroke has responded to the need for new, more effective, and less toxic antiepileptic drugs by cooperating with pharmaceutical companies in key areas of development. The ADD Program screens large numbers
Epilepsy is a common disorder, affecting more than two million people in the United States. For the majority of these people, medications control seizures and permit them to lead nearly normal lives. But the Commission for the Control of Epilepsy and its Consequences estimates that at least 200,000
We review information from large studies of defined populations, examining the role of known factors and especially of prenatal and perinatal factors in contributing to nonfebrile seizure disorders of early childhood. We depend especially, but not exclusively, on the recently completed analyses from
Cerebral palsy (CP) is a group of disorders that primarily affect motor function. This developmental disability is becoming more common in adults as life expectancy increases for individuals with CP. Many physical, medical, mental, and behavioral health conditions are associated with CP, and
A new series of novel enaminones has been synthesized from cyclic beta-dicarbonyl precursors which were condensed with morpholine, pyrrolidine, phenethylamine, hydrazines, substituted benzyl amines, and substituted anilines. These compounds were subsequently evaluated for anticonvulsant activity in
