title: Translation and cultural adaptation of swallowing disturbance questionnaire for brazilian portuguese

description: ABSTRACT Purpose: to translate and culturally adapt to Brazilian Portuguese Swallowing the disturbance questionnaire (SDQ) for dysphagia detection risk in individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD). Methods: this was translated into Portuguese, back-translation into English, instrument reliability analysis, the final version applied to participants and conducted retesting after two weeks. It was selected participants at a clinic for movement disorders of a reference hospital in Rio Grande do Sul. It was included individuals diagnosed with PD. It was excluded individuals with impaired speech or hearing that prevented the understanding of the questionnaire and diagnosis of other neurological diseases. Results: the sample consisted of 23 individuals. The participants answered all questions. There was no question of disposal. In the analysis of test-retest reliability intraclass correlation coefficient of the final score in the two periods was 0.912 with p &lt;0.001 (95% CI = 0.792 to 0.963), demonstrating that the data are highly homogeneous. In the analysis by question, there was no significant difference between the two application times. The value of α Cronbach instrument was 0.63. Conclusion: there was cultural equivalence of the SDQ for Brazilian Portuguese, with good internal reliability of the instrument.

title: Development of the minimal contrasts perception in the brazilian sign language by a group of Coda

description: ABSTRACT Purpose: to verify the emergence and acquisition of the minimal contrasts perception in the Brazilian Sign Language, by Children of Deaf Adults. Methods: nine collections of Brazilian Sign Language perception skills of normal hearing children with deaf parents, from two to nine years old, during their language development period, were performed and analyzed. The applied test consisted of 35 minimal pairs, signs which varied in only one parameter, which could be: handshape, location, movement or orientation. The signs were graphically represented through pictures. A statistical analysis was performed with significance level of 5%. The used tests were the comparison tests by Friedman and Wilcoxon, and also the Spearman correlation test. Results: the parameter movement is more easily perceived than the other contrasts, followed by the parameters location and hand configuration, which act in a similar way in the perception of these learners. The most difficult contrast to be perceived was orientation. Another relevant finding refers to age group, because the longest the contact with sign language the children had, the better was the Coda performance in the perception test of the minimal contrasts. Conclusion: it was perceived that through the perception test it was possible to detect which parameters are first acquired. The most easily perceived was the movement parameter, followed by location and handshape, while orientation was the last to be acquired.

title: Main changes found in written narratives productions of children with reading/writing difficulties

description: ABSTRACT Purpose: to analyze the written narrative productions of children with reading/writing difficulties. Methods: the study was conducted on 171 children enrolled in the 4th or 5th grade of elementary school. The children were divided into two groups: G1 consisted of children without reading/writing difficulties and G2 consisted of children with difficulties in these tasks. Each child was asked to write a text after observing a figure stimulus. The text was then analyzed using a protocol and the handwriting, spelling mistakes, linguistic variables and contents were evaluated. Results: changes in handwriting, a higher percentage of spelling mistakes and other types of mistakes were observed in G2; the same proportion as in G1 for the use of nouns, adjectives and pronouns, but difficulty in verb conjugation and in the use of temporal adverbs. Regarding content, G2 children only described the scene and demonstrated a limited vocabulary and poor creativity. Conclusion: the writing skills of children with reading/writing difficulties showed several flaws including: changes in handwriting, presence of misspellings and limitation in text construction, which was restricted to simple description of the stimulus, with little articulation of ideas and without creation of characters, time or place for their story. This set of flaws compromises the intelligibility of the text by the reader and demonstrates that the development of writing is a complex task for these children.

title: Suggestive signs of stress in school children with learning disabilities

description: ABSTRACT Purpose: to compare suggestive signs of stress in children with learning disorders (with and without speech-language intervention) and in children without learning problems, and to identify suggestive signs of stress among groups according to the gender of the participants. Methods: the study included 25 children with learning disorder. Of these children, 10 were diagnosed, but without intervention and 15 children were receiving speech-language intervention. Also 25 children without any learning problems participated in the study. In all groups, a children's stress scale was applied. Results: it was observed that 43% of children with learning problems without intervention, 56% of children with learning problems in intervention and 83% of children without learning problem, showed warning signs for child stress. These differences were not statistically significant. In addition, were not found differences between genders. Conclusion: in all groups, there was a high frequency of warning signs for child stress, showing that this may not be a determining factor in academic achievement in the study sample.

title: Audiological and behavior findings in children underwent a bilateral myringoplasty - a comparative study

description: ABSTRACT Purpose: to analyze pre-surgical hearing evaluation in children who suffering from secretory otitis media in their first five years of age. Also to verify the length of time tubes have remained in the eardrum and analyze the test results of auditory processing after myringotomy surgery. Method: 79 students between eight and 12 years old were divided into two groups: 1 - 40 students without otitis media history and 2 - 39 students suffering from secretory otitis media in their first five years of age and who have undergone a myringotomy surgery. The individuals underwent complete audiological evaluation and assessment of Auditory Processing. Results: all patients showed conductive hearing loss in the pre-operative audiologic tests. The mean time of ventilation tubes was 11,8 months. The left ear showed significant lower performance in the dichotic digits and pitch pattern sequence tests. The students from group 2 showed lower performance whether compared to group 1 in the dichotic digits test and gaps-in-noise. Conclusion: children with a history of otitis media in the early years of life showed the conductive hearing loss responses in the pre-surgical evaluation and lower responses in dichotic test of digits and gaps-in-noise.

title: Voice and quality of life of totally laryngectomized patients: a comparative study

description: ABSTRACT Purpose: to analyze the voice-related quality of life in totally laryngectomized patients in speech therapy for a support group. Methods: the studied population was composed of 11 totally laryngectomized subjects of both genders between 43 and 83 years of age, who speak using a trachoesophageal prosthesis or electronic larynx. The patients answered the Brazilian Portuguese version of the Voice-Related Quality of Life (VR-QOL) questionnaire and rated their satisfaction with their communication on a 10cm visual analogic scale. Results were submitted to statistical analysis with a 5% significance level. Results: tracheoesophageal prosthesis speakers had better results in the global score of the VR-QOL when compared with electronic larynx speakers (p=0.026). The subject with higher global V-RQOL scores had higher satisfaction levels regarding their communication (p=0.001). Satisfaction levels with communication were also statistically related to time of surgery (p=0.05). There were no statistically significant associations regarding satisfaction with communication and sociodemographic variables sex (p=0.154) and age (p=0.303). Conclusion: individuals with more time since surgery are better satisfied with their communication. Satisfaction levels showed that the VR-QOL is a reliable measure of communication satisfaction of totally laryngectomized patients.

title: Applicability of mismatch negativity in children and teenagers: a descriptive review

description: ABSTRACT Mismatch Negativity (MMN) is a cortical potential that occurs in response to a modification of an acoustic stimulus from a sequence of repeated stimuli, which reflects the brain capacity in relation to the discrimination of the sound passively, in other words, without the need of attention of the subject to the sound stimulus. Then, the aim of this study is to perform a descriptive review on MMN, in order to identify its applicability in children and teenagers, in the last five years. To this end, the search was performed in the Lilacs, SciELO, Medline and Pubmed databases by using the following descriptors: córtex auditivo, eletrofisiologia, potenciais evocados auditivos (the English version would be: auditory cortex, electrophysiology, auditory evoked potentials). In addition to, the words Mismatch and Negativity were used. In this review, we found 14 studies which evaluated children and/or teenagers with difficulty in speech articulation, specific language impairment, auditory processing disorder, Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), dyslexia, autism, risk for schizophrenia, psychosis, amusia, phenylketonuria and selective attention. So, it was possible to perform the descriptive review on the application of MMN in children and teenagers, concluding that in the last five years there were a reasonable article production about the theme. However, studies on this topic are not expressive in Brazil. Even though there is a variety of applications to MMN, in relation to the Brazilian population, there is a need for scientific evidences to use this potential in different age groups. We also verified that the search for MMN studies in the databases could be performed by only using the words Mismatch and Negativity.
