title: Discourse analysis of individuals with fluent aphasia and slight oral comprehension difficulty

description: ABSTRACT: Purpose: to analyze the narrative, descriptive, conversational and procedural discourse of fluent aphasics and to compare their performance with healthy individuals. Methods: the authors selected by a systematic sample 22 fluent aphasic individuals complaining of discursive difficulty and that presented language disorders post stroke. The individuals are or were in treatment in the institution of origin. The aphasic individuals were matched in age and education. Both groups were subjected to a protocol of oral discursive tasks to the evaluation of narrative, descriptive, conversational and procedural discourse. Results: in most of the investigated variables, there were statistically significant differences in all types of discourse in the quantitative and qualitative analysis. Conclusion: aphasic individuals presented better performance in narrative discourse and greater difficulty in the other discourse tasks, although when comparing their discourse with the healthy individuals' discourse they presented greater difficulty in all the oral discursive genres.

title: Epidemiological profile of a hearing-impaired population

description: ABSTRACT: Purpose: to obtain the epidemiological profile of the hearing impaired population assisted in a public service regarding sociodemographic, clinical, assistance, communicative and behavioral aspects. Methods: descriptive, observational, cross-sectional study utilizing secondary data. The sample consisted of 307 users, from May 2009 to May 2011. A protocol for the authorization and concession of personal sound amplification product was used. Results: most of the patients were female, seniors over 60 years, with incomplete elementary education and retired. It was more common for users to have basic hearing exams at the time of evaluation at the hearing health center, moderate sensorineural hearing loss, and a presbycusis etiology. Regarding behavioral aspects, patients presented auditory reactions without the personal sound amplification products and verbalization. Conclusion: the results of this study support the planning of operational strategies and actions to better serve patients, especially senior citizens, and inform mothers and pregnant women of neonatal hearing screening for the early detection and rehabilitation of hearing loss.

title: Case study and its finalities for the speech and language clinic

description: ABSTRACT: Purpose: to identify and analyze the characteristics of academic research under the heading Case Report. Methods: we conducted an empirical-analytical research of papers published in Speech and Language magazines - DIC, CEFAC, CODAS and ACR, during the period of 2009-2014, totaling151 articles. Results: a) a certain preference for single case studies but a clear tendency to study up to five cases in relation to studies with larger numbers of subjects; b) regularity in one of the magazines, in the number of published case reports over the study period; progression in another and decrease in the other two; c) hegemony of articles in the field of language when crossing number of publications and Phonoaudiology specialty; (d) hegemony of studies with children compared to other age groups; (e) balance between the number of case reports discussing diagnosis and those discussing intervention; (f) case reports focusing on clinical procedures -- when diagnosis and therapy or intervention are associated - appear less. There was the need to critically analyze this finding, since Speech and Language Pathology, as a clinical discipline, should prevent separation between therapy and diagnosis. Structurally, the components of clinical practice are in constant articulation so that the direction of intervention can be identified, described and explained. Conclusion: although the case report has a constant presence in the analyzed publications, its importance to clinical reasoning is still quite underestimated.

title: Applicability of burden of disease methodology in human communication disorders

description: ABSTRACT: The burden of disease methodology is composed by the calculation of specific indicators, and proposes to measure the effects of diseases on the physical, emotional and social welfare, either from the effects of premature death and morbidity, as well as comorbidities on the health conditions of the population. This study aimed to verify the possibility of application of the concept of the burden of disease in the study of human communication disorders in an attempt to introduce new methodologies and better characterize the setting of these diseases. This study involved an integrative literature review in Scielo, Lilacs and Pubmed bases, with presentation of concepts and a critical analysis of burden of disease's indicators and their potential applications in the field of speech, language and hearing sciences. The findings indicate a lack of studies using the concepts related to burden of disease as applied to human communication and its disorders as well as their implications on the life of the subject according to the methodology proposed by the World Health Organization. There are opportunities to apply the burden of disease concept and methodology in the field of communication disorders, both, to identify the impact of diseases on the individual, as for the evaluation of the quality and also to measure the effectiveness of interventions in the field of communication disorders.

title: Supracricoid partial laryngectomy: literature review on quality of life protocols

description: ABSTRACT: Supracricoid Partial Laryngectomy (SCPL) is indicated for treatment of tumors staging 1 and 2, and some cases of advanced tumors. Literature considers that it presents satisfactory results for the preservation of larynx and its functionality. This study aimed at a systematic review of literature on voice related quality of life in patients submitted to SCPL, identifying protocols of quality of life regarding head and neck cancer. The following database was consulted for the systematic exploratory literature review: MEDLINE, SCIELO, LILACS; PUBMED. Portuguese, English and Spanish-language descriptors (DeCS) were used. The selection of articles followed inclusion criteria with the application of Relevance Test. This literature review revealed that the protocols used specifically with head and neck oncologic patients, were mainly EORTC-C30/H&N35, UW-QOL and HNQOL. Although SCPL is considered a surgical technique that allows the preservation of swallowing and phonation functions, possible complaints regarding these functions are pointed in literature. Literature affirms that patients were satisfied with their own voices, having little difficulty to communicate with intelligibility. Studies report patients with breathing difficulties after SCPL, including obstructive sleep apnea. It was concluded that further researches aiming at pointing the difficulties resultant from SCPL and using more specific head and neck protocols are necessary, which may better reveal the impact of SCPL on quality of life.

title: Hipoplasia condylar of probable otologic origin

description: ABSTRACT: The temporomandibular joint is one of the most complex of the human body and the condylar process is responsible for the expression of mandibular growth. The condylar hypoplasia is characterized by a defective formation of the condylar process. The acute otitis media is an inflammatory process, triggered from infections of the nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses and, nasopharynx, propagated through the Eustachian tube. In the presented case, the patient had facial asymmetry since the first year of life, and recurring cases of otitis just in the early stages of closing the temporal tympanic suture and in the foramen of Huschke, which would facilitate the dissemination of this ear infection which would undermine the development of condyle resulting in hypoplasia identified, only in the right side. Thus, professionals who work in temporomandibular joint and ear regions must have knowledge of the existence and clinical implications of the foramen of Huschke for early diagnosis and prevent the development of facial asymmetry where this association presents with clinical signs of infection of the affected areas, restoring function, aesthetic and, psychological state of the patient.

title: Feeding preference of mouth breathers of an elementary school

description: ABSTRACT Purpose: to know the preferred kind of alimentary consistency of the mouth breathers in school age of the Elementary teaching. Methods: the study included 13 students of both genders of the Elementary teaching between 10 and 14 years old. The selection happened through observations about students in class and through the clinic exam with otorhinolaryngologist and the data were collected during the interview. Results: it was observed that 100% of the assessed students showed preference for solid consistency foods. However, it was found that the majority use liquid during the meals with food in their mouths at the same time as this fact eases the ingesting of solids. Conclusion: it has been found that there is a higher predominance on choosing solid consistency foods, on the range of the students chosen, regardless of the oral breathing way.

title: Relationship between postural cephalic pattern and speech intelligibility

description: ABSTRACT Purpose: the objective of this study was to establish an associative factor that connects the morphology of the craniocervical system with the articulatory speech intelligibility level in young subjects. Methods: a cross-sectional study which considered a sample of 42 university students from a universe of 140, both male and female, without morbid background ranging between 18 and 21 years of age. Evaluated aspects: a) articulatory intelligibility by the diadochokinetic periodic variation coefficient, b) traditional static postural parameters using the photogrammetric method, and c) cephalic postural pattern by lateral cephalometry (X-ray) Results: 36 subjects with adequate intelligibility and 6 with altered intelligibility where the anteroposterior cranio-cervical rotation variable showed significant differences (p = 0.009) between the group with normal intelligibility and the group with impaired intelligibility. The linear regression analysis demonstrated that subjects with posterior head-neck rotation exhibited more variability in the syllable emission of diadochokinetic speech performance (Sq r linear = 0.128). Conclusion: it is established that the cephalic position with subsequent posterior head-neck rotation is associated with the loss of speech intelligibility in the studied sample.
