title: Noise level measurement and its effects on hospital employees based on complaint reports

description: ABSTRACT Purpose: to assess the noise level in different environments of a public hospital and to analyze its effects on employees from reporting complaints. Methods: a quantitative, descriptive and cross-sectioned study. To survey data, we used a Minipa(r) decibelimeter adjusted in the range 40-130 decibels positioned in different hospital departments in different shifts for a week to evaluate noise levels and an adapted questionnaire that was applied to employees. Results: the level of noise introduced minimum of 52.5 decibels in the Intensive Care Unit (NICU) and a maximum of 85 decibels in the women's ward with a significant difference between the different days of the week during the same turn. The same occurred in the emergency room, but did not show significance in other sectors. Employees feel discomfort to loud sounds, 74.4%, and 35.5% feel sick after hours due to stress caused by noise that is produced by multiple devices combined with the sounds of alarms, works, visits and schedules conversation between the hospital staff. Conclusion: noise levels are above the recommended levels in different sectors and professionals manifest discomfort and tinnitus before and after their exposure.

title: Speech, language and hearing sciences teleconsultations in a large public telehealth service

description: ABSTRACT Purpose: to analyze the profile of Speech, Language and Hearing Sciences teleconsultations of a large scale public telehealth service in Minas Gerais, Brazil. Methods: all Speech-Language Pathology teleconsultations performed from February 2011 to May 2014 were assessed and classified according to the type of questions, professional who sent the solicitation and the speech-language pathologist area of expertise. Results: the 259 teleconsultations performed during the study period were originated from 81 cities. The majority of the solicitations were originated from speech-language pathologists (64.5%), followed by nurses (27.0%) and physicians (5.0%), and were related to patients' assistance (81%). Among these, 35% were about diagnosis and 65% about discussion of procedures and therapeutic approaches. There was no difference with regards to the type of solicitation and healthcare practitioner, whether speech-language pathologist or not (65.7% vs. 64.9%, p=1.00). The majority of the questions were about language (47%), followed by oral motor functions (29%), voice (20%), audiology (18%), dysphagia (10%) and public health (3%). Conclusion: in this study, the majority of the solicitations to a Speech, Language and Hearing Sciences teleconsultation service were about language, although there was demand for all fields. Although the use of teleconsultations in Speech-Language Pathology, is still in its early stages there is great potential for using this tool in clinical practice.

title: Voice professionals' non-verbal communication: what has it been researching in speech language pathology?

description: ABSTRACT Non-verbal communication is part of communication and regardless intention, is always present. According to some authors, expressiveness may influence over 90% of a dialogic relationship. Each gesture or look is valuable source of information about the emotion while communicating. Speech-language Pathologist (SLP) is the professional that must seek all aspects of communication, verbal and non-verbal, altogether. Literature review was performed among the years of 2005 and 2015 in the main national SLP scientific periodic: Revista CEFAC, Journal of Communication Disorders - DIC, Pro-Fono - Revista de Atualização Científica, Journal of the Brazilian Society of Speech, Codas, Journal of the Brazilian Society of Speech Pathology and Audiology Communication Research - ACR. The SciELo - Scientific Electronic Library Online - was the platform used to look for the voice papers. 342 voice papers were found. 176 were about voice professionals and, from these only eight addressed non-verbal communication. From the eight, three were about radio and television professionals, two about teachers, two about actors, and one about college students. Despite the importance of non-verbal resources in communication, there are few SLP publications on non-verbal communication and voice professionals.

title: Vocal warm-up and cool-down: systematic review

description: ABSTRACT For this literature review, we researched national and international scientific publications on vocal warm-up and cool-down of the speaking voice, through databases such as Lilacs, MedLine and Scielo, in order to identify and describe the methodological parameters and the effects of the vocal warm-up and cool-down proposals that are described in national and international literature. We performed the location and selection of studies through a survey of texts published on the theme from 1999 to 2013. We included original research articles; published in Portuguese or English; with emphasis on vocal warm-up and cool-down; associated or not. The recommended time of execution for warm-up ranged from 15 to 30 minutes or three sets of 15 repetitions, and the cool-down from 5 to 15min. The most used exercises for warm-up were voiced fricative sounds and vibrant of tongue or lips, in ascending scales, and for the vocal cool-down the nasal sounds, fricative sounds and vibrant of tongue or lips, in descending scales, were the most used exercises. The exercises showed positive vocal changes, observed by vocal acoustic and auditory-perceptual vocal and, self-evaluation and aerodynamic related to phonation. There was unanimity on the importance of completing the vocal warm-up and cool-down for voice professionals and on the positive results after carrying out the procedures. There was no agreement on the time of execution and on the exercises that were used.

title: Favorable stimulus words for the treatment of phonological disorders involving the production of simple onset sounds

description: ABSTRACT Purpose: to develop and analyze a list of target words providing a favorable environment for the acquisition of target sounds in simple onset position, using a programming algorithm to assign a favorability score for each of these words. Methods: an algorithm was programmed to calculate a favorability score for target words by adding up the weights assigned to the following variables, with regards to the target sound: position within the word, stress pattern, number of syllables, preceding and following context. The algorithm was programmed using Java. The lists of target words for each target sound contained a total of 748 words. A score was calculated for each item, and used to classify the word as favorable, neutral, or unfavorable. Results: target words with the highest scores on the aforementioned variables were considered favorable, as they provided a facilitating context for the production of the target sound. However, target words did not need to meet all aforementioned linguistic criteria to be considered favorable. Conclusion: the algorithm was efficient in calculating favorability scores for the target words. However, although words classified as favorable, or those with high scores on linguistic measures, should be preferred during the selection of target stimuli, these may not necessarily apply to all types of phonological disorder.

title: Use of transcranial radiograph to detect morphological changes in mandibular condyles

description: ABSTRACT Purpose: to evaluate the accuracy of conventional transcranial radiographs (TRANS) to identify morphological changes in mandibular condyles. Methods: the sample consisted of 36 mandibular condyles, obtained from 18, randomly selected, dried human skulls, without the identification of age, gender, or ethnicity. Three experts in dental radiology examined the TRANS to identify possible changes in the condyles. The fourth examiner performed the macroscopic examination, which was considered the gold standard of the study. The condyles in both TRANS images and macroscopic examinations were classified as mandibular condyles with change (1) or no change (0). Statistical analyses were performed using the X 2 and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Kappa intra- and interobserver tests were performed for examiners 1 to 3. Results: the X2 test showed a statistically significant association between changes in the condyle in the TRANS images and the presence of macroscopic changes in the condyle (p ( 0.05). The area under the curve was 0.83, with 96% sensitivity and 70% specificity. The weighted kappa value for intraobserver agreement was 0.78, while the interobserver agreement was 0.71. Conclusion: the use of TRANS proved to be an effective method to detect morphological changes in the mandibular condyle.

title: Daily summarized seasonal measurements of discharge, water temperature, and specific conductivity from Santa Fe Stream at B2, McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica (1993-2000)

description: As part of the Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) project in the McMurdo Dry Valleys of Antarctica, a systematic sampling program has been undertaken to monitor the glacial meltwater streams in that region. This package contains data pertaining to continuous monitored water quality and quantity parameters measured with automatic recording devices on streams in this region. Specifically, this metadata record describes the daily hydrological summaries for the McMurdo Dry Valleys' Santa Fe Stream at the B2 streamgage, located in the Bonney Basin of Taylor Valley. Measurements commenced during the 1993-94 austral summer and continued through the end of the 1999-20 austral summer. The B2 streamgage was removed in December 2000 after it was found completely underwater due to Lake Bonney water level rise. Efforts were made to continue some discrete flow measurements to estimate flow in Santa Fe Stream based on the flow record at the higher elevation streamgage located in nearby Lawson Creek. Thus, Santa Fe Stream transitioned from being continuously monitored to one for which discrete measurements of flow may be made during site visits to Lawson Creek.

title: The role of auditory temporal cues in the fluency of stuttering adults

description: ABSTRACT Purpose: to compare the frequency of disfluencies and speech rate in spontaneous speech and reading in adults with and without stuttering in non-altered and delayed auditory feedback (NAF, DAF). Methods: participants were 30 adults: 15 with Stuttering (Research Group - RG), and 15 without stuttering (Control Group - CG). The procedures were: audiological assessment and speech fluency evaluation in two listening conditions, normal and delayed auditory feedback (100 milliseconds delayed by Fono Tools software). Results: the DAF caused a significant improvement in the fluency of spontaneous speech in RG when compared to speech under NAF. The effect of DAF was different in CG, because it increased the common disfluencies and the total of disfluencies in spontaneous speech and reading, besides showing an increase in the frequency of stuttering-like disfluencies in reading. The intergroup analysis showed significant differences in the two speech tasks for the two listening conditions in the frequency of stuttering-like disfluencies and in the total of disfluencies, and in the flows of syllable and word-per-minute in the NAF. Conclusion: the results demonstrated that delayed auditory feedback promoted fluency in spontaneous speech of adults who stutter, without interfering in the speech rate. In non-stuttering adults an increase occurred in the number of common disfluencies and total of disfluencies as well as reduction of speech rate in spontaneous speech and reading.
