title: Feeding of children with tracheostomy at hospital discharge

description: ABSTRACT Purpose: to describe the work of speech-language-hearing therapists and verify which was the most prevalent feeding method in the sample studied. Methods: a descriptive observational study based on data surveyed from medical records. The following variables were used: age, medical diagnosis, hospital ward, feeding method before and after the tracheostomy, time of speech-language-hearing care, and speech-language-hearing discharge. The data were submitted to descriptive statistical analysis with the appropriate tests to compare the categorical variables. All infants and children with tracheostomy performed either before or during hospital stay between July 2017 and July 2018, who received speech-language-hearing care upon request of the physician, were included. Results: a total of 51 children took part in the study, most of whom were males (56.9%), with a median age of 12 months, ranging from 1 month to 12 years old at the time of the speech-language-hearing assessment. The feeding methods at hospital discharge were described as follows: full oral feeding (37%), partial oral feeding (25.5%), nasogastric/nasoenteral tube (19.6%), and gastrostomy (17.6%). Conclusion: the full oral diet of tracheostomized children was the most prevalent feeding method at hospital speech-language-hearing discharge.

title: Environmental factors and their associations with speech-language-hearing diagnostic hypotheses in children and adolescents

description: ABSTRACT Purpose: to analyze the associations between speech-language-hearing diagnostic hypotheses in children and adolescents and the Environmental Factors in the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health. Methods: an observational, analytical, cross-sectional study carried out between 2016 and 2019 in an outpatient center with 5- to 16-year-old children and adolescents undergoing speech-language-hearing assessment and their parents/guardians. The Brazilian Economic Classification Criteria was used, and sociodemographic data were collected, along with speech-language-hearing diagnostic hypotheses and information on the presence of categories of the Environmental Factors, qualified as either barriers or facilitators. Descriptive and association analyses were made, using Pearson’s chi-square and Fisher’s Exact tests, with the significance level set at 0.05. Results: most participants had changes in oral language acquisition/development, written language, and oral-motor function. The most prevalent facilitators were in the categories of Services, Systems, and Policies; Support and Relationships; and Products and Technology, whereas the barriers were in the categories of Attitudes; Products and Technology; and Services, Systems, and Policies. The diagnostic hypotheses of “Change in cognitive aspects of language”, “Change in speech”, and “Change in voice” had a significant association with the codes present in chapters 3 - Support and Relationships, and 4 - Attitudes. Conclusion: this association shows that patients with communication changes need a comprehensive approach encompassing the Contextual Factors.

title: Tongue coupling as a therapeutic strategy: electromyographic analysis of different training approaches

description: ABSTRACT Purpose: to compare the effect of two tongue coupling approaches on the electrical activity of the suprahyoid musculature in young women. Methods: the sample comprised 47 women aged 18 to 27 years, distributed into groups, according to exercise training time - 10 and 15 seconds. They answered an initial questionnaire and were submitted to speech-language-hearing clinical assessment, body mass index calculation, and electromyographic assessment. Two electrodes were positioned bilaterally on the skin in the region of the suprahyoid musculature to pick up the electromyographic signal. The women performed the tests with resting periods and maximum voluntary contraction, coupling the tongue with the hard palate as strongly as possible, followed by three training series coupling the tongue with the palate. The collected data regarding amplitude and frequency of the myoelectrical activity were analyzed, by comparing the performance within the two groups and one another with the Friedman and One-Way ANOVA tests, and Mann-Whitney U test, at the 5% significance level. Results: no statistical significance was observed between the groups when comparing their performance in the series, neither was there any decrease in the median frequency in each group while performing the three series. Conclusion: no effect on the electrical activity of the suprahyoid musculature was found in young women when they performed isometric tongue coupling exercise training.

title: Experience of speech pathology and nutritional monitoring of oral feeding in older people from a community-based approach

description: ABSTRACT Purpose: to describe the changes in the body composition and swallowing of an older-people group from a community-based speech therapy and nutrition program. Methods: a pre-experimental study of a single group was carried out, with prospective timing and pre-post evaluation for three months. The Body Mass Index (BMI), percentage of body fat (�), percentage of muscle mass (%MM), percentage of visceral fat (%VF), swallowing performance, and Swallowing Quality of Life (Swall-QoL) were evaluated. The Spearman correlation coefficient and the Mann-Whitney U test were used, significance level p&lt;0.05. Results: 13 older people participated in the study. The average age of the group was 73.8 years (SD= 4.6). The BMI (pre=28.17; post=28.38), � (pre=38.5; post=38.7), %MM (pre=24.8; post=24.9) and %VF (pre=14.3; post=14.8) did not present significant differences (p&gt;0.05). The scores obtained in the deglutition test was pre=19.15 and post=18.9. An association between BMI and VF (Rho=0.74; p=0.02) was detected. Conclusion: the program represented a community-based instance of health promotion focus on oral feeding of older people.

title: Developmental Stuttering Screening Instrument: evidence of sensitivity and accuracy measures

description: ABSTRACT Purpose: to verify the sensitivity and accuracy measures of the Developmental Stuttering Screening Instrument (DSSI). Methods: the DSSI was administered to 30 parents/guardians of children aged 2 to 5 years and 11 months with and without complaint of stuttering. The instrument administration was timed. The sensitivity analysis used the Weight of Evidence (WoE) binary classification model to verify the strength level of the items. The cutoff scores were established with grouping analysis with the k-means cluster method, based on the minimum and maximum values of each identified group’s scores. The data were analyzed with the SPSS statistical software (version 20.0) and were considered significant with p ≤ 0.05. Results: the interviews lasted an overall mean of 17 minutes. The WoE model revealed that the items with the greatest predictive strength for risk of stuttering were the social reaction to their speech, the physical concomitants, and the comprehension of the child’s speech. The correspondence analysis showed a strong association between “having complaints” and “high total score”, as well as between “not having complaints” and “low total score”, indicating that the parents’ complaints are a factor that leads to high scores in the instrument. “Sex” had little predictive effect for risk. The grouping analysis enabled the stratification of subjects into three risk levels: “not at risk”, “under observation”, and “at risk”. Conclusion: the instrument presented the first evidence of sensitivity and accuracy measures, thus, making the identification of risk of developmental stuttering in preschoolers, possible.

title: An instrument for tongue performance assessment in activities associated with digital games: content and construct validity

description: ABSTRACT Purpose: to analyze the content and construct validity of an instrument for tongue performance assessment in activities associated with digital games. Methods: to analyze content validity, ten speech-language pathologists answered a questionnaire in which each item of the instrument and the set of items were judged as to its representativeness. The content validity index and the modified Kappa statistics were calculated. To analyze construct validity, 20 participants, with age between 8 and 13 years, (10 children with weak tongues and 10 children with normal tongue strength) performed a game activity with the T-Station, involving 12 targets with 2 N of strength and 5 s of time for sustained contraction for each target. The performance was compared, for each item of the instrument, between groups. Results: most of the items obtained satisfactory score according to the speech-language pathologist’s evaluation. Children with reduced tongue force had a poorer performance than those with normal tongue force, with a statistically significant difference in three items of the instrument. Conclusion: the instrument proved to be valid as a method for evaluating performance in activities associated with the T-Station.

title: Is remote and distance teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic related to the university professors’ weight gain, body mass index changes, hearing complaints, and self-perception of voice?

description: ABSTRACT Purpose: to verify the impact of weight and BMI (Body Mass Index) changes on auditory and vocal symptoms in university professors, during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: the symptoms were assessed with a semi-structured questionnaire developed on Google Forms, to which the consent form was appended. It comprised 27 questions related to symptoms, changes, and health, during the pandemic - specifically, vocal and auditory symptoms, anthropometric factors, vocal parameters, physical activity, neck pain, and comorbidities. The Mann-Whitney and Chi-square test were used to identify differences or associations between variables (95% CI; P &lt; 0.05). Results: altogether, 74 professors who comprise the faculty of the undergraduate program at the institution where the research was conducted were assessed. Significant differences were found between those with auditory symptoms (G1: worsened hearing; G2: unchanged hearing) regarding BMI, in which G1 had higher values; and sleep, in which G1 slept fewer hours. The chi-square test showed an association between the groups and BMI classification - those with worsened hearing (G1) were more overweight and their sleeping hours were more affected. There was also an association between the groups and voice change, headphone use (mainly in-ear) during classes, dizziness or vertigo episodes, tinnitus episodes and headache. Conclusion:this study revealed an association between worsened hearing, sleep, and BMI in university professors due to remote and distance teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic.

title: Common mental disorders and patient-reported swallowing disorders following total laryngectomy

description: ABSTRACT Purpose: the aim of this study was to analyze the relationship between patient-reported swallowing disorders and common mental disorders after total laryngectomy. Methods: fourteen patients of both genders and aged 66 ± 8.63 years were assessed after total laryngectomy. They were all asked about the perception of swallowing disorders and answered the Self-Reporting Questionnaire. Patients with swallowing complaints also answered the MD Anderson Dysphagia Inventory. The mean difference between groups was evaluated using the Mann-Whitney test, with a significance level of 5%. Results: the median of Self-Reporting Questionnaire total score was 3.00 [interquartile range: 0.00-5.00] and did not reflect the presence of common mental disorders. Five volunteers (35.7%) self-reported swallowing disorders and had a worse, although not significant (p = 0.15), performance on the Self-Reporting Questionnaire. The MD Anderson Dysphagia Inventory indicated a limitation in the quality of life, with a greater impact of swallowing disorders in the emotional domain [median = 53.30; interquartile range: 33.30-74.95]. Conclusion: common mental disorders are not related to patient-reported swallowing disorders following total laryngectomy. However, patients with swallowing complaints had a negative impact on their quality of life, especially in the emotional domain.
