Background:

Rivaroxaban use continues to accounts for a significant number of serious injuries, primarily bleeding, and deaths as reported by ISMP. There’s limited evidence on the associated factors with bleeding development among Saudi population.

Objectives:

We aimed to evaluate the association of bleeding with comorbidities and certain inappropriate prescribing practices in patients receiving rivaroxaban in Saudi Arabia.

Materials and Methods:

This is a two-center retrospective cohort study. Incidence of bleeding and its association with comorbidities and the most common inappropriate prescribing practices, such as unapproved indication, inappropriate dosing or drug combination, were evaluated.

Results:

A total of 446 patients were included; 82 (18.4%) patients receiving rivaroxaban developed bleeding, 7% had major bleeding, and 11% had nonmajor bleeding. Rivaroxaban was used for approved indication in 90.1% of the patients. Regression analysis did not identify significant association between off-label prescriptions and bleeding. However, a significant association was identified with the number of comorbidities (>3 comorbidities, 24.2%; odds ratio: 1.32; 95% confidence interval: 1.16–1.51; P ≤ 0.001) in the univariate analysis. Certain comorbidities were found to be independent risk factors for bleeding including hypertension, prior thrombosis, and myocardial infarction. Patients who developed bleeding had lower body mass index (BMI) (P = 0.004). A higher average risk score of CHA2DS2-VASc (4.0 ± 1.7) and HAS-BLED (2.0 ± 1.1) in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation was observed than that reported in literature.

Conclusion:

We report a slightly higher rivaroxaban-bleeding incidence across multiple clinical indications than that in previously published studies. The risk of bleeding in our population was associated with the number of comorbidities, lower BMI, and a high HAS-BLED score. Future prospective controlled studies are warranted to define the bleeding risk in patients with lower BMI. Safe prescribing and use of rivaroxaban are recommended to avoid additional risks.

Published: May 2024

There has been an increased understanding of the protective effect of two or more hours in high lux light on the development and progression of myopia. The aim of myopia management is to reduce the incidence of high myopia and sight-threatening myopic complications. Equally important are the sight-threatening complications of ultraviolet radiation (UVR) on the eye and adnexal structures. This review will analyze the literature for both these epidemics to help guide public health policy. Whilst increasing childhood high lux light exposure is important, consideration of a holistic eye health policy should ensure that UV eye diseases are also prevented. The advent of ultraviolet (UV) fluorescence photography has increased our understanding that significant UV eye damage occurs in childhood, with 81% of children aged 12–15 years having signs of UV eye damage. Hence, the need to reduce myopia and protect from UV-related eye diseases needs simultaneous consideration. Advocating for eye protection is important, particularly as the natural squint reflex is disabled with dark sunglasses lenses. The pathways UV reaches the eye need to be considered and addressed to ensure that sunglasses offer optimum UV eye protection. The design of protective sunglasses that simultaneously allow high lux light exposure and protect from UVR is critical in combating both these epidemics.
Methods and Strategies for 3D Content Creation Based on 3D Native Methods
Authors: Fang Shun , Feng Xing , Lv Yanna
Published: May 2024

The present paper provides a comprehensive overview of three neural network models, namely Point·E, 3DGen, and Shap·E, with a focus on their overall processes, network structures, loss functions, as well as their strengths, weaknesses, and potential future research opportunities. Point·E, an efficient framework, generates 3D point clouds from complex text prompts, leveraging a text-to-image diffusion model followed by 3D point cloud creation. 3DGen, a novel architecture, integrates a Variational Autoencoder with a diffusion model to produce triplane features for conditional and unconditional 3D object generation. Shap·E, a conditional generative model, directly generates parameters of implicit functions, enabling the creation of textured meshes and neural radiance fields. While these models demonstrate significant advancements in 3D generation, areas for improvement include enhancing sample quality, optimizing computational efficiency, and handling more complex scenes. Future research could explore further integration of these models with other techniques and extend their capabilities to address these challenges.

Purpose Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a particularly challenging subtype of breast cancer, with a poorer prognosis compared to other subtypes. Unfortunately, unlike luminal-type cancers, there is no validated biomarker to predict the prognosis of patients with early-stage TNBC. Accurate biomarkers are needed to establish effective therapeutic strategies.Materials and Methods In this study, we analyzed gene expression profiles of tumor samples from 184 TNBC patients (training cohort, n=76; validation cohort, n=108) using RNA sequencing.Results By combining weighted gene expression, we identified a 10-gene signature (DGKH, GADD45B, KLF7, LYST, NR6A1, PYCARD, ROBO1, SLC22A20P, SLC24A3, and SLC45A4) that stratified patients by risk score with high sensitivity (92.31%), specificity (92.06%), and accuracy (92.11%) for invasive disease-free survival. The 10-gene signature was validated in a separate institution cohort and supported by meta-analysis for biological relevance to well-known driving pathways in TNBC. Furthermore, the 10-gene signature was the only independent factor for invasive disease-free survival in multivariate analysis when compared to other potential biomarkers of TNBC molecular subtypes and T-cell receptor β diversity. 10-gene signature also further categorized patients classified as molecular subtypes according to risk scores.Conclusion Our novel findings may help address the prognostic challenges in TNBC and the 10-gene signature could serve as a novel biomarker for risk-based patient care.

An end‐to‐end joint learning scheme of image compression and quality enhancement with improved entropy minimization
Authors: Lee Jooyoung , Cho Seunghyun , Kim Munchurl
Published: May 2024

Recently, learned image compression methods based on entropy minimization have achieved superior results compared with conventional image codecs such as BPG and JPEG2000. However, they leverage single Gaussian models, which have a limited ability to approximate various irregular distributions of transformed latent representations, resulting in suboptimal coding efficiency. Furthermore, existing methods focus on constructing effective entropy models, rather than utilizing modern architectural techniques. In this paper, we propose a novel joint learning scheme called JointIQ‐Net that incorporates image compression and quality enhancement technologies with improved entropy minimization based on a newly adopted Gaussian mixture model. We also exploit global context to estimate the distributions of latent representations precisely. The results of extensive experiments demonstrate that JointIQ‐Net achieves remarkable performance improvements in terms of coding efficiency compared with existing learned image compression methods and conventional codecs. To the best of our knowledge, ours is the first learned image compression method that outperforms VVC intra‐coding in terms of both PSNR and MS‐SSIM.
Comparison of Pain Relief and Spread Level Using Two Volumes of High Thoracic Erector Spinae Plane Block: A Prospective Randomized Study
Authors: Hong Ji Hee , Kim Hyun Jae , Lee Jae Yun
Published: May 2024

The erector spinae plane block (ESPB) is minimally invasive, safer, and technically easy procedure. Although the ESPB is considered an easier technique compared to the neuraxial block, its efficacy in patients with cervical radicular pain is uncertain. This study aimed to identify pain relief in patients with cervical radicular pain and spread level in the craniocaudal direction using fluoroscopic guidance. A total of 157 patients experiencing neck or arm pain caused by cervical spine disease or muscle related issues who underwent T2 ESPBs were included. The patients were injected with 10 mL (ESPB 10 mL group) or 20 mL (ESPB 20 mL group) of local anesthetic mixture containing a contrast medium. The degree of pain relief and disability was assessed using an 11-point numerical rating scale (NRS) and the neck disability index (NDI), respectively. Moreover, the spread level of ESPB in the craniocaudal direction was assessed. The number of patients who demonstrated excellent pain relief (NRS reduction > 50%) was 49 (62.8%) and 52 (65.8%) in the ESPB 10 mL and 20 mL groups, respectively. The total number of vertebral segments in the craniocaudal direction was significantly higher in the ESPB 20 mL group than in the ESPB 10 mL group (4.69 ± 1.31 vs. 5.96 ± 1.03, p < 0.001). Both groups of ESPB demonstrated a significant reduction in NRS and NDI. The distribution of the contrast medium in the ESPB 20 mL group was more extensive than that in the ESPB 10 mL group.
Exploring the Relationship between Nicotine Dependence and Triglyceride Levels among Male Smokers with Hypertension
Authors: Yasmin Arla Aglia , Pirdaus Dede Irman , Abdul Halim Nurfadhlina
Published: May 2024

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are a leading cause of mortality worldwide, with smoking identified as a significant risk factor. This study investigates the impact of nicotine dependence on triglyceride levels among male smokers diagnosed with hypertension. Blood samples and Fagerstrom Test for Nicotine Dependence (FTND) scores were collected from 31 participants aged 30-65 years at a community health center. Triglyceride levels were analyzed alongside demographic and smoking-related variables. While age, cigarettes per day (CPD), and cigarette type showed no significant association with triglyceride levels, individuals with low nicotine dependence exhibited a trend towards higher triglyceride levels. However, this association was not statistically significant. Uncontrolled confounding variables like BMI, diet, and physical activity may have influenced the results. Further research with larger sample sizes and robust controls is necessary to clarify these relationships definitively
A RELAÇÃO ENTRE HERMENÊUTICA E ÉTICA NA FILOSOFIA DE PAUL RICOEUR
Authors: Frederico Soares de Almeida  , Carlos Roberto Drawin
Published: May 2024

Nesse artigo, de forma introdutória, será desenvolvida a relação entre hermenêutica e ética na filosofia de Paul Ricoeur. Nosso objetivo, com esse texto, é analisar como hermenêutica e ética se articulam no pensamento de Ricoeur. A ideia é mostrarmos como hermenêutica e a ética se articulam dentro da hermenêutica do si e como essa hermenêutica nos auxilia a pensar o ser humano. Partimos do pressuposto que a hermenêutica na filosofia ricoeuriana pode ser compreendida como um caminho que leva à ética. Além disso, a antropologia filosófica será o elo de ligação entre hermenêutica e ética na filosofia de Ricoeur. A hermenêutica filosófica elaborada por Ricoeur busca descrever e analisar como o ser humano irá agir no mundo através do horizonte da justiça, da alteridade, do direito, do bem, do reconhecimento e do respeito. Sendo assim, a hermenêutica do si traz ao horizonte da filosofiaricoeuriana a possibilidade de pensarmos uma filosofia moral. Para além disso, na filosofia de Ricoeur não podemos pensar que existe separação entre hermenêutica e ética. Tendo na antropologia filosófica seu ponto central, Ricoeur pontua como a hermenêutica do si caminha em direção de se pensar uma filosofia moral.
A SUBJETIVIDADE COMO OUTRO NO MESMO SEGUNDO LEVINAS: A OBRIGAÇÃO DE OCUPAR-SE DE OUTREM ANTES DE PERSISTIR NO PRÓPRIO SER
Authors: Fabiano Victor Campos  , Luiz Fernando Pires Dias
Published: May 2024

O objetivo do presente artigo é investigar a noção de sujeito em Emmanuel Levinas, relacionando-a com o problema da alteridade, concepção que ocupa um lugar central em sua perspectiva filosófica. O filósofo lituano-francês questiona o primado que o Eu alcançou na filosofia, criticando o papel soberano atribuído à ontologia no transcurso histórico ocidental. Tal matriz de pensamento, vinculada ao âmbito do conhecimento, promoveu uma redução do Outro aos domínios do Mesmo, subtraindo e ignorando o espaço à alteridade. O caminho trilhado por Levinas na análise do sujeito tem como ponto de partida uma concepção de “ser” atípica, ajuizando-o como entrelaçado ao mal e como detentor de um caráter excessivo, configurando, portanto, um cenário que demanda uma evasão. No percurso de fuga da ontologia, Levinas analisou fenomenologicamente vivências cotidianas concretas e elaborou a intrigante noção do Il y a, ou seja, a presença do irremissível existir despersonalizado. O emergir do existente foi pensado – em sua condição primária – através da hipóstase, quando o existente passa a se relacionar com o existir. No entanto, a ruptura definitiva com o Il y a e a constituição integral do sujeito têm seu lugar no encontro com Outrem, na proximidade do rosto, com a subjetividade sendo pensada como hospitalidade, como o “um-para-o-outro”, conforme prescrição contida no rosto do próximo, sob a forma de mandamento de responsabilidade, infinita e intransferível, por tudo e por todos. A epifania do rosto instaura a precedência absoluta de Outrem, nos remetendo a um domínio mais antigo que o da ontologia, o da esfera ética pré-originária, âmbito no qual a subjetividade, rompendo com a ideia de sujeito como uma essência, se apresenta como substituição em prol do outro homem.
O EU E O OUTRO: A RELAÇÃO INTERSUBJETIVA EM EMMANUEL LÉVINAS
Authors: Jeferson Djalma Coimbra  , Robione Antonio Landim
Published: May 2024

Emmanuel Lévinas está inserido em um seleto grupo de pensadores que, ao longo do século XX, se despontaram como promotores de uma filosofia da alteridade. À luz de tão distinta consideração, o presente artigo pretende descortinar o modo como o lituano entende as relações intersubjetivas. Para tanto, analisaremos a lógica da representação e a totalidade ontológica a fim de evidenciar que tais concepções reduzem, instrumentalizam e subjugam o Outro e as diferenças. Em seguida, mostraremos como Lévinas, a partir de categorias como Infinito, Metafísica, Desejo, Rosto, Responsabilidade, entende a relação intersubjetiva, de modo que o Eu se responsabiliza pelo Outro e promove as diferenças. Por esses conceitos, o autor atestará que na relação Eu-Outro, este não poderá ser um alter-ego que, como num espelho, reflete a imagem do Mesmo, mas sim é alteridade absoluta, inadequado às estruturas totalizantes. Esse encontro é essencialmente ético e animado por um movimento de abertura e transcendência denominado Desejo Metafísico, que impele a uma relação face a face com o Rosto do Outro. No seio desta filosofia, o Rosto do diferente se apresenta como um regulador da vida e não como algo a ser superado ou colocado em posto subalterno. Vê-lo é ouvir: Tu não Matarás! Matar, em Lévinas, é eliminar a capacidade cognitiva, o direito de ser, de exigir, de manifestar-se no mundo que o Outro possui. Matar é eliminar a existência do Outro, como o próprio lituano testemunhou na vivência da Guerra. Portanto, o Eu que outrora era fechado em um solipsismo e que via o Outro como um inimigo, no pensamento levinasiano, se abre e é responsável por ele. É sobre isso que o presente artigo discorrerá, no intento de explanar, ainda que de forma basilar e introdutória, cientes do alcance e da profundidade da obra do filósofo, a contribuição levinasiana para pensar a relação intersubjetiva.
“PENSAR COMEÇA TALVEZ AÍ”: DERRIDA E A QUESTÃO ANIMAL
Authors: Guilherme Cadaval
Published: May 2024

O presente trabalho busca pensar a questão acerca do animal no pensamento do filósofo franco-argelino Jacques Derrida. Partindo do pressuposto de que a tese do logocentrismo é, como afirma Derrida, antes de tudo uma tese sobre o animal, procuramos demonstrar de que maneira a desconstrução do privilégio concedido ao logos ao longo da história da filosofia no ocidente implica, como um aspecto estrutural necessário, uma certa indagação acerca do animal, como aquele vivente sempre enxergado desde a sua falta de logos. As implicações ético-políticas de uma tal indagação ficam evidentes quando pensamos a “estrutura sacrificial” que essa falta que constitui o animal representa: estar fora do logos significa, ao menos, ser um vivente reduzido à corporalidade, sendo esta entendida tão somente como disponibilidade para o exercício de um poder por parte daquele que, possuidor do logos, ascende à categoria de soberano. Tal concepção de soberania é um traço distintivo do que se chamou, ao longo de mais de dois milênios, filosofia. Por filosofia se entende, então, um certo gesto soberano de exclusão e rebaixamento do outro, seja este outro o animal, seja ele a escritura. Tal qual o animal, também a escritura é enxergada desde a sua falta de logos, desde a sua distância com relação à origem do sentido. Animal e escritura se aproximam ou se assemelham, então, aos olhos da filosofia, como a perpétua ameaça de um fora sobre o qual não é totalmente possível exercer sem perda a soberania, o que leva à sugestão de que pensar começa talvez aí.
PARA ALÉM DOS MUNDOS COMPOSSÍVEIS: A INCOMPOSSIBILIDADE COMO A REALIDADE DO ACONTECIMENTO
Authors: Carlos Henrique Machado
Published: May 2024

Se para Leibniz um único mundo compossível repele os outros mundos possíveis, incompossíveis em relação a eles, veremos que a noção de acontecimento formulada por Gilles Deleuze faz convergir os incompossíveis e os compossíveis em um único mundo cuja realidade é marcada pela ininterrupta passagem de uma dimensão virtual para uma atual. Pretendemos verificar de que forma, no pensamento de Deleuze, articulam-se a incompossibilidade e a compossibilidade num plano de imanência onde se estendem as singularidades e onde se efetuam as individuações que efetivam as relações diferenciais em termos de qualidades e partes saídas de uma profundeza virtual de um caos infinito que continua a pressionar o estado de coisas. Pretendemos descrever como o acontecimento é o ato que irá dar consistência às incompossibilidades que interpenetram um único e mesmo mundo e como a partir dessa realidade o indivíduo não possui limites fixos, mas vizinhanças que permitem as séries incompossíveis coexistirem virtualmente às suas atualizações, como móveis transitórios e suscetíveis de combinações inauditas.

Kullanımlar ve doyumlar yaklaşımı, insanların kitle iletişim araçları yoluyla birtakım ihtiyaçlarını karşılayabileceklerini ve belirli doyumlara ulaşabileceklerini öne sürmektedir. Yaklaşımın Elihu Katz tarafından sistemli bir şekilde ortaya koyulduğu tarih olan 1959 yılından itibaren kitle iletişimi yoluyla sağlanan doyumlar pek çok araştırmanın konusu olmuştur. 1972’de Denis McQuail ve meslektaşları, kitle iletişim araçları aracılığıyla elde edilen doyumları dört alt grupta (oyalanma, kişisel ilişkiler, kişisel kimlik ve gözetim) kategorize ederek televizyon izleyicilerine yeni bir perspektifle bakmayı amaçlamışlardır. Yapılan literatür taramasında, yaklaşımın kullanıldığı çeşitli çalışmalarda, alt grupların içerisinde yer alan gözetim yoluyla doyum meselesinin göz ardı edildiği gözlemlenmiştir. Bu çalışmanın en temel amacı Denis McQuail ve meslektaşlarının belirlemiş oldukları, insanların medyayı kullanımları sonucunda elde ettikleri doyumlara ilişkin dört temel kategoriden biri olan, gözetim yoluyla sağlanan doyum meselesini derinleştirmektir. Söz konusu derinliğin sağlanabilmesi adına The Truman Show isimli sinema filminde yer alan Truman Show isimli televizyon programı izleyicilerinin programdan sağladıkları doyumlar tespit edilerek gözetim meselesinin kullanımlar ve doyumlar yaklaşımı bağlamındaki önemini açıklamak çalışmanın hedefleri arasında yer almaktadır. Bu bağlamda çalışma, kitle iletişim araçları yoluyla elde edilen doyumlarda gözetimin, diğer konumlar ile mukayese edildiğinde öncül bir konumda olduğunu ileri sürmektedir. Bu çalışmada, ilgili amaçlara ulaşılabilmesi noktasında nitel araştırma yöntemlerinin önemli bir aracı olan; inceleme nesnesine yönelik ayrıntıların açıklanmasına olanak sağlayan ve özellikle film incelemelerinde, filmlerin belirli fenomenlerle olan ilişkisini ortaya koymaya uygun bir zemin sunan betimsel analiz tekniği kullanılmıştır. Çalışmanın özgün değeri iki temel hat üzerinde kurgulanmış durumdadır: Çalışmada, filmleri sosyal söylemin bir parçası olarak kabul etmekte ve film içerisinde yer alan izleyicilerin sinemasal söylem oluşturmak noktasında önemli bir görünüm ortaya koyduğunu varsayılmaktadır; Kullanımlar ve doyumlar yaklaşımını bağlamında sunulan doyumlardan gözetim boyutuna odaklanılmaktadır.

Unraveling the Complexities: Factors Influencing Conviction Rates in Violence against Women (VAW) Cases in Northern Bangladesh
Authors:   Lecturer, Department of Gender and Development Studies, Begum Rokeya University, Rangpur. Rangpur-5404, Bangladesh., Husain Taha
Published: May 2024

This study aims to examine the complex dynamics involved in adjudicating violence against women (VAW) cases within urban settings in Bangladesh, with a focus on the determinants that affect conviction outcomes. Adopting a qualitative research methodology, this inquiry gathers insights from in-depth interviews with 17 key stakeholders, including judges, lawyers, and police officials, within the metropolitan areas of northern Bangladesh. This primary data is further enriched by field observations (court, police station, medical college, and victim support center). The investigation reveals significant procedural deficiencies and systemic challenges encountered during the pre-trial stages of violence against women (VAW) litigation. These include delays in filing complaints, inaccuracies in First Information Reports (FIRs), lapses in evidence preservation, lack of witness cooperation, and discrepancies in medical documentation. The study identifies overarching issues such as inadequate training for investigative officers, substandard evidence collection practices, and the scarcity of forensic expertise as pivotal factors that negatively influence conviction rates. Furthermore, it emphasizes the crucial yet strained role of public prosecutors, who grapple with excessive caseloads, insufficient resources, and a lack of specialized support.

Authors: Suharto Istiqomah , Yuningsih Siti Hadiaty
Published: May 2024

This paper investigates the impact of various one-factor no-arbitrage interest rate models on key bond value measures, specifically effective duration. Employing numerical methods based on binomial or trinomial lattices, the study assesses five prominent interest rate models: Ho and Lee, Kalotay, Williams, and Fabozzi, Black, Derman, and Toy, Hull and White, and Black and Karasinski.The analysis begins by outlining the theoretical foundations and assumptions underlying each model, highlighting their distinctive features and implications for bond valuation. Through a meticulous numerical solution process, the study generates risk metrics for bond portfolios, considering the dynamic nature of interest rates and the complex interactions between price, duration, and convexity.Comparisons across the models reveal nuanced differences in the computed effective duration and convexity measures, shedding light on how the choice of an interest rate model may influence risk assessments in fixed-income portfolios. The paper discusses practical implications for investors and portfolio managers, emphasizing the importance of model selection in navigating the challenges posed by interest rate fluctuations. Additionally, it addresses the potential limitations and challenges associated with each model, offering insights into their relative strengths and weaknesses.By presenting empirical examples and conducting sensitivity analyses, this research contributes to the ongoing discourse on interest rate modeling and its implications for bond markets. The findings offer valuable insights for practitioners seeking to enhance their risk management strategies in fixed-income investments, providing a foundation for future research in this dynamic and evolving field.

An insurance claim is a form of request from the policy holder to obtain protection against financial losses due to a risk that occurs. Claims that occur every time there is a risk are called individual claims, while the total of individual claims during one insurance period is called aggregate claims. Claims are an important factor in optimizing insurance company expenses, where one of the calculations that insurance companies need to know based on claims is aggregate loss. Aggregate loss is the total loss in a period experienced by policy holders covered by an insurance company. This study aims to determine the average and variance of claims for the number of claims (frequency) with a Negative Binomial distribution and the amount of claims (severity) with a Discreate Uniform distribution in claim payments according to all types of guarantees and the nature of PT injuries. Jasa Raharja (Persero) Purwakarta Representative during the 2018-2020 period. This research uses a collective risk model and the help of Easyfit software to determine the best distribution for the number and size of claims.

Hypertension, also known simply as “high blood pressure” is very common, however canlead to many significant complications if left uncontrolled. When the blood pressure is elevated, the force the blood puts on the walls of the arteries is high and can lead to artery damage. Also, when the heart muscle has to pump blood against a high blood pressure, it thickens and enlarges; just like any muscle does when it has to do more work. Hypertension develops slowly over the years and frequently does not cause any symptoms until something severe happens such as a heart attack, stroke or heart failure. The Research design adopted for the present study is The Quasi Experimental study to understand the quality of life, psychological distress, social functioning and family burdenof hypertension patients. The study was conducted in private hospital are Fortis hospital and Unity Life Line Hospital. The target population of the study consists of all the patients diagno

Objective: To find the common practices among speech language pathologists regarding partner-oriented training for aphasic patients.
Method: The exploratory, qualitative study was conducted at Riphah International University, Lahore, Pakistan, from March 1 to May 31, 2021, and comprised speech language pathologists working with aphasiac patients for at least 5 years in Lahore, Karachi and Islamabad. Data was collected using a structured interview guide that were conducted online. The recorded interviews were transcribed, and the data was subjected to thematic analysis.
Result: Of the 10 subjects, 6(60%) were females and 4(40%) were males. Overall, 6(60%) subjects had professional experience of >10 years. Thematic analysis showed that most of the speech language pathologists used traditional approaches for aphasia treatment, and counselling of patient’s caregiver was done. However, there was no formal tool in Urdu language to provide basic communication strategies for the patient’s caregivers or their communication partners. The participants recommended efforts to develop such a tool.
Conclusion: There was found a dire need of communication partner training (CPT) programme for aphasia patients and their significant others with appropriate linguistic and cultural norms to facilitate them with the aim of improving their quality of life.
