Speech & Language Pathology Stroke Terms

Disorganised list of terms used in slt for stroke- for study/quick reference.

AAC- Alternative augmentative communication.

ABI- Acquired brain injury (anytime after birth).

Agnosia- Inability to process sensory information (in Greek gnosis- "not knowing").

Aphasia- Impairment of language, affecting the production or comprehension of speech and the ability to read or write, depending on the affected area of the brain. (Greek a/without + phásis/speech").

Apraxia- Inability to execute purposeful, previously learned motor tasks, despite physical ability and willingness. (Greek a/without + praxis/action).

Aspiration- Food or fluid accidentally enters the lungs through the windpipe, often as a result of dysphagia.

Bilateral- Involving or affecting both sides, usually referencing both sides of the body.

Capacity- Ability to reason, make decisions and consider choices, express views and receive and understand information (AWI= Adult With Incapacity).

Cerebro-Vascular Accident (CVA)- Stroke.

Cognitive function- Anything involving thinking.

Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)- Blood clot forms in a deep vein.

Deglutition- The act of swallowing.

Dementia- Decline of function in the brain causes cognitive problems such as difficulty with memory, understanding and mood.

Dysfluency- Any type of speech which is marked with repetitions, prolongations and hesitations; an interruption in the flow of speech sounds. Commonly known as stuttering or stammering.

Dysarthria- Collection of motor speech disorders.

Dysphagia- Swallowing difficulties.

Embolism- Blockage of a blood vessel by a blood clot or piece of fatty material or other debris in the blood stream. An embolism is a type of stroke.

Enteral feeding- Feeding through a tube connected to the person's stomach.

FAST test- 'Facial drooping, Arm weakness, Speech problems, Time to call 999'

Fluency- Smoothness with which sounds, syllables, words and phrases are joined together during oral language.

Hemorrhagic stroke-  Caused when a blood vessel in the brain bleeds into the brain tissues or the space around the brain.

Hemianopia-  Loss of one half of your visual field. 

Hemiparesis- Weakness on one side of the body.

Hemiplegia- Complete paralysis on one side of the body.

Hypotonia- Abnormal decrease of muscle tone.

Ischemic stroke/ Infarct- Damage to the brain caused by lack of blood flow, usually from a clot. An area of tissue that is dead because of a loss of blood supply. This is the most common type of stroke.

Infarction- A sudden loss of a tissue’s blood supply causing the tissue to die.

Ischemia- Blood flow (and thus oxygen) is restricted or reduced in a part of the body. 

Ischemic penumbra- Areas of damaged but still living brain cells arranged in a patchwork pattern around areas of dead brain cells.

Lacunar stroke/infarct- When a small artery deep in the brain becomes blocked, causing a small area of damaged brain tissue.

Left hemisphere- Controls speech, comprehension, arithmetic, and writing.

Muscle tone- The degree of natural tension in a person's muscles. Abnormally high muscle tone can lead to muscle tightness and stiffness (spasticity). Very low muscle tone can cause floppiness (hypotonia).

Muscle tension- When muscles of the body remain semi-contracted for a period of time in the resting state.

Naso-gastric (NG) tube-  Medical catheter that's inserted through your nose into your stomach.  Used both to deliver substances to your stomach and to draw substances out.

Neglect- Not being aware of one side of the body and/or environment.

Neuron- Nerve cell.

Neuroplasticity- The ability of undamaged parts of the brain to take over the jobs of damaged areas.

Nystagmus- Continuous uncontrolled movement of the eyes.

Paralysis- Partly or entirely unable to move the affected parts of the body.

Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG)- Feeding tube placed through the abdominal wall and into the stomach.

Right hemisphere- Controls creativity, spatial ability, artistic, and musical skills

Stroke- Occurs when something blocks blood supply to part of the brain or when a blood vessel in the brain bursts.

Spasticity- Abnormal increase in muscle tone or stiffness of muscle

Thrombolysis- An early treatment for some types of strokes caused by a blood clot.

Thrombosis- A blood clot that forms in an artery.

Transient Ischaemic Attack (TIA)-  sometimes called a “mini-stroke”. Blood flow to the brain is blocked for a short time, usually no more than 5 minutes.

Vertebral artery dissection (VAD)- A tear in the walls of an artery at the back of the neck, blood can then get between the layers of artery walls and can lead to a clot forming, causing a blockage (a stroke).

Visual field loss- The loss of sight in a particular area of visual field.

Fascinating talk! 

Some notes about the talk:

Emotions biology is complex but knowable.  Neural systems support emotions.

Emotions shape our responses to Salient Cues: 

threat→fear, loss→sadness, contamination→disgust, unfairness →anger, play→amusement, kindship bond →nurturant love,  faux pas →embarassement, achievement →pride.

Each emotion has distinct autonomic and facial behavior profiles, ex:

 Embarrassment - emerges after violation of social convention, encourages reparation of disrupted social bonds.

Disgust: Is a highly visceral emotion, promotes distance from contaminated objects.

Change scores quantify emotional reactivity. But emotions are brief!

Autonomic Activity is dynamic

Positive emotions serve interpersonal functions

Parasympathetic Activity fosters compassion and prosocial behavior - high rate variability associated with: social engagement, emotion regulation, optimism and agreeableness, empathy, compassion, prosocial behavior.

In bvFTD, negative emotions and baseline autonomic activity are impaire while certain positive emotions are elevated. Empathic concern is impaired in bvFTD.

Empathy takes different forms (graph)

In AD, emotional empathy is enhanced

In dyslexia, differences in emotion relate to socioemotional strenghts

Emotions and empathy change in neurodegenerative disease

Emotions in neurodevelopmental disorders such as dyslexia

Out of the ridiculous things I've heard lately the most ridiculous is stem cell treatment for autism.

I mean you're legit scamming people for millions. The cause of autism isn't even completely known yet and claiming such a treatment cures or significantly reduces it is absolutely vile. It also propagates the myth that it is a disease which it is not.

It's not really even FDA approved for ASD yet. Instead of relying on such weakly researched procedures a better alternative is.

• Educational interventions such as TEACCH.

• Speech and Language therapy.

• Occupational therapy.

• Use of AACs (alternative augmentative communication)

#autism #ASD #autism spectrum #therapist #slt #this is coming from a speech pathologist #so tired of ppl coming in and telling us they tried all this stuff #and you look at the kid still miserable and frustrated #cuz they cant communicate #but they didn't bother coming to therapy #because it's not a fast solution like people want

Quick lil update

I’ll be posting the next chap of SLT probably tomorrow as long as I’m not too unhappy with it. I think it’ll be the next to last one so that’ll be wrapping soon. Afterwards we’ll see which brain worm wriggles up next. Thanks for your patience with this one y’all it’s coming to me slowly.

I cannot communicare con you; Oggi I cannot say il mio nome to you; I’m a disastro today.

BDAE cookie theft description: I bambini steal the biscuits from the armadio. The water sta cadendo per terra.—Patient AH (in Abutalebi et al. 2000. Neurocase, 6(1):56-56).

-When asked to switch voluntarily from one language to another, she had no difficulties

-Her impairment thus appeared to involve a stage of lexical retrieval occurring after the specification of semantic and syntactic information.

The anatomical correlation of damage to the switching is not known.Some findings have suggested that the neural basis for language switching may be located in the prefrontal and frontal cortices (Stengel and Zelmanowicz, 1933; Zatorre, 1989)

Damage to the dominant basal ganglia may not only produce an inhibition of an ability to switch across languages,but also an exaggeration of this language property may occur.

Interesting paper!
