title: Acoustically controlled auditory training in children with speech disfluency: a case report

description: ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to verify the effect of the acoustically controlled auditory training on the speech fluency of children diagnosed with developmental stuttering. Two patients were submitted to speech fluency evaluation, basic audiological assessment, and central auditory processing assessment, before and after the intervention with the digital platform. Two male individuals (P1 and P2) participated in the research. They were respectively 8 and 9 years old, both were right-handed, native Brazilian Portuguese speakers, diagnosed with developmental stuttering, P1 presenting a moderate, and P2, a mild-to-moderate degree. There was an improvement in some auditory skills. However, there was no improvement in the speech fluency pattern in neither of the cases studied.

title: Analysis of Brazilian scientific production in Orofacial Motricity

description: ABSTRACT Objective: to analyze the Brazilian scientific production in Orofacial Motricity from the annals of Brazilian congresses and journals in the field of Speech Therapy in the last six years. Methods: for this bibliometric review, data related to the year of production, type of study, Brazilian region/State, modality of higher education institution, event/magazine and presentation format were considered and tabulated. The data were discussed from the perspective of quantitative and representative values. Results: 1,299 studies have been published in the past six years. The highest production was achieved in 2014 and there was a predominance of original studies. Public higher education institutions produced more studies when compared to private ones. The event with the largest number of publications was the Brazilian Congress on Speech, Language and Hearing Sciences, and the journal with the largest number of publications was CEFAC Journal. The Southeast region was predominant in publications, followed by the Northeast region. Conclusion: the characterization of scientific production in orofacial motricity allowed us to verify that this is a consolidated area of activity, although it still requires advances.

title: Autobiographical narratives in the elderly with neurocognitive disorder: an integrative literature review

description: ABSTRACT Objective: to carry out an integrative review of the literature on autobiographical narratives as a discursive activity in the older adult with neurocognitive disorder. Methods: a descriptive study that covered the Scopus, SciELO, PubMed, and Science Direct databases, from 2009 to 2019, using the keywords autobiographical, narrative, dementia, reminiscence, the elderly, and the Boolean operator. A narrative synthesis was adopted considering the characteristics of the clinical, and methodological heterogeneity of the studies. Results: the results included 3 articles published between 2012 and 2018, in the English language, from the United Kingdom, Brazil, and Argentina, which highlighted the autobiographical narratives. Although in a strict sense they did not present the narrative as a specific objective of the autobiographical study, they did provide interesting and related data which justified their inclusion. Conclusion: it is observed that the literature researched presents a limited number of articles, adressing the autobiographical narrative as a discursive activity in the elderly with neurocognitive disorder.

title: Remote speech-language-hearing follow-up: monitoring cochlear implant users in the immediate postoperative period

description: ABSTRACT Purpose: to verify whether the complementary remote speech-language-hearing follow-up is an effective tool in the monitoring of cochlear implant users in the immediate postoperative period. Methods: a total of 26 relatives participated in the study, divided into two groups: with and without remote speech-language-hearing follow-up. By the time the device was activated, they were given instructions on four subjects: the device, family, school, and speech-language-hearing therapy. After one week, the group with remote speech-language-hearing follow-up started receiving such care via mobile phone. In the in-person follow-up visit, a questionnaire was administered (containing questions on the guidance given), as well as an interview with the parents/guardians that received the remote follow-up. The data obtained from the questionnaire were analyzed with Fisher’s exact test, with 5% significance. The qualitative data were analyzed based on Bardin’s theme content analysis technique. Results: there was a significant difference in the quantitative results between the groups regarding “device” and “school”. In the qualitative data, it was verified that the remote speech-language-hearing follow-up furnished greater assurance to the relatives of the cochlear implant users, helping them in the therapeutic process and at school. Conclusion: the complementary remote speech-language-hearing follow-up proved to be an effective tool in the subjects researched, especially regarding the handling of the device and guidance to school.

title: Clinical swallowing assessment in the diagnosis of silent aspiration

description: ABSTRACT Purpose: to identify, in the clinical assessment of swallowing, signs indicating silent aspiration in ischemic stroke patients. Methods: forty-six patients were assessed, 17 days being the mean time elapsed from the stroke to the swallowing assessment. The clinical assessment encompassed structural and functional aspects, oximetry monitoring, and cervical auscultation. During the videofluoroscopy examination, the patients were also monitored with pulse oximetry. In both assessments, the patients were given 100 ml of liquid. In the statistical analysis, the exact logistic regression test and odds ratio calculation were used, with a 0.05 significance level. Results: seven, out of the 46 patients, presented aspiration, which was silent in six of them. Change in the cervical auscultation, in the clinical assessment (OR: 18.8; 95% CI: 1.2 - 1000, p = 0.03), was associated with silent aspiration, as detected in the videofluoroscopy. The hawking present in the analysis of the recording (OR: 12.2; 95% CI: 1.23 - ∞, p = 0.03), was associated with possible non-silent laryngotracheal penetrations and aspirations. No change was identified regarding oxygen saturation in patients presented with silent aspiration. Conclusion: the change in cervical auscultation observed in the clinical assessment can indicate silent aspiration in patients affected by an ischemic stroke.

title: Experiences of violence at school from the stuttering patients’ perspective

description: ABSTRACT Purpose: to characterize school-aged patients with persistent stuttering regarding their self-reported experiences of violence at school. Methods: the sample comprised 10 patients with persistent stuttering, 10 to 17 years old, regardless of their sex and stuttering characteristics, who received care at a fluency outpatient center in the heart of São Paulo State, Brazil. The collection instrument was an 11-question, multiple-choice, self-administered questionnaire. The data were descriptively analyzed based on the frequency of the answers. Results: almost half of the stuttering patients reported suffering bullying, in which they were given nicknames, defamed, blamed for everything that happened, physically attacked, and mocked. The classroom was the most mentioned environment where bullying took place. The following reactions to violence were mentioned: “talking to friends, teachers/principals, and relatives”, “sadness”, and “desire to change schools”. Conclusion: despite the small sample size, it was possible to note alarming data and the importance of educative/preventive actions in the school environment, approaching both bullying and stuttering.

title: Types of handwriting and signs of dysgraphia in children and adolescents with learning difficultie

description: ABSTRACT Purpose: to characterize handwriting aspects of children and adolescents with complaints of learning difficulties, based on the type of handwriting they used. Methods: thirty-two children and adolescents participated in the study. They were first to eighth graders of both sexes, aged 7 to 15 years, with complaints of learning difficulties. The participants were divided according to the type of letter they used: SG1 (block letters), SG2 (cursive letters), and SG3 (mixed letters). A themed composition was analyzed with an adapted Dysgraphia Scale. Afterwards, the score obtained in the items of the Dysgraphia Scale was statistically analyzed, comparing the results between the three groups, between SG1 and SG2, SG1 and SG3, and SG2 and SG3. Appropriate statistical tests were applied, considering as significant the p-value &lt; 0.05. Results: no difference was found regarding the groups’ age and schooling level. As for the items in the Scale, there was a difference between the three groups regarding irregular spacing in between words, collisions and adhesions, and total score. Signs of dysgraphia were observed in the three groups, according to the Scale’s criteria. Conclusion: changes in handwriting are common in children with learning difficulties, especially when they write using cursive and mixed letters.

title: Comparative study of sensation and repercussion of tinnitus on the quality of life and craniocervical posture in teachers

description: ABSTRACT Purpose: to verify whether there is a correlation between tinnitus sensation and repercussion on the quality of life and craniocervical posture in teachers, participating in the Pró-Mestre project. Methods: a cross-sectional study with a sample of 90 teachers, mean age of 47.70 years, who responded to the Craniocervical Dysfunction Index (CDI), to verify the craniocervical posture, the analog visual scale (AVS), and the Portuguese adaptation of the Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI), to investigate tinnitus and its impact on the quality of life. Appropriate statistical tests were applied, by adopting a significance level lower than 0.05. Results: out of the 90 teachers, 18 (20%) had tinnitus. There was a statistically significant difference between the sensation of tinnitus, according to the AVS and the craniocervical posture (CDI) in teachers (p &lt;0.001). There was also an association between tinnitus complaint and right-rotation range of motion, with age and right lateral tilt being independent factors, regarding teachers' tinnitus sensation. In the correlation of the THI (total and domains), there was an association with cervical mobility, only in the left inclination. Conclusion: since a statistically significant difference was found between the subjective sensation of tinnitus and the craniocervical posture with a correlation between tinnitus sensation and repercussion on the quality of life and craniocervical posture in teachers, these aspects should be considered in the assessment of teachers presented with tinnitus, as well as further studies with a population of teachers, healthy adults, in order to increase the knowledge on the subject.

title: Satisfaction of deaf patients with the health care

description: ABSTRACT Purpose: to investigate the satisfaction of deaf people in relation to the health services, to characterize the sample regarding sociodemographic, socioeconomic, and self-perception of deafness, and to verify if there is an association between satisfaction with care, communication, professionals, and self-perception of deafness. Methods: an observational, cross-sectional study conducted with a semi-structured questionnaire in 74 deaf adults. A descriptive analysis of the characterization of the sample and attendance, and an analysis of the association between satisfaction, professionals, self-perception, service used, and schooling level was performed, using the chi-square test. The level of significance adopted was 5%. Results: the sample was composed mainly of women (66.2%), 18 to 28 years old (46.5%), of socioeconomic class D (51.3%), having finished high school (56.76%), and employed as an office assistant or typist (90%), 63.5% self-declared as deaf, 51.3% were bilingual, and 54.4% were not satisfied with the medical care. There was a statistically significant difference between the level of satisfaction of the volunteers with the health care received in relation to the different health professionals who attended them (p&lt; 0.05). Conclusion: most of the population was not satisfied with medical care, although this service was most sought. The type of communication used by the professionals and the presence of an interpreter were not effective. It is necessary to implement strategies to ensure accessibility and comprehensive careto this population.

title: Bilingualism in the development of phonological awareness skills: an integrative literature review

description: ABSTRACT Purpose: to verify the influence of bilingualism on the development of phonological awareness. Methods: this is an integrative literature review, built on the hypothesis of the relationship between bilingualism and its influence on the development of phonological skills in children. The construction was carried out in the databases: CAPES, Pubmed, Scielo, Eric, and LILACS, using the following free terms in Portuguese and English: bilingualism AND phonology, bilingualism AND phonological awareness and bilingualism AND phonological skills. The sample selection criteria were: a) scientific papers published in national and international journals with full text, free and available in the database; b) in English and Portuguese; c) that addressed the theme in the last five years. For the selection of the papers, reading the title, followed by the summary, and finally, reading the papers potentially relevant for review were considered. Results: following the eligibility criteria, 2,578 papers were identified. Of these, 87 were selected for complete analysis. The final sample consisted of eight papers, two of them being written by Brazilian authors. Of these, five showed better phonological awareness skills in bilinguals and two in monolinguals. Studies point out that age can be a predictor of language skills and better phonological awareness skills associated with good reading development. Bilinguals, early exposed to this skill, develop reading by phonology and those with late exposition, by semantics. Conclusion: the present study demonstrated that there are still controversies regarding the impacts of bilingualism on phonological awareness, including on the benefits of phonological awareness.

title: Study of the neural plasticity in adults and older adults new hearing aid users

description: ABSTRACT Purpose: to monitor, with long-latency auditory evoked potentials, the plasticity of the central auditory pathways in adults and older adults, new users of hearing aids. Methods: a total of 15 adults and older adults, aged 55 to 85 years, participated in the research. They had a symmetric bilateral mild to moderate sensorineural hearing loss, without previous experience with any type of hearing aid. The long-latency auditory evoked potentials were conducted with and without amplification, at 60 and 75 dBnHL, with speech stimulus in a sound field, in two assessment moments: up to one week after fitting the hearing aid and after six months of its use. The Student’s t-test was used for statistical analysis, considering significant the p-value &lt; 0.05. Results: responses with lower latency values were observed for the right ear in the second assessment. Comparing the first with the second assessment, both with and without the hearing aid, an increase in the amplitude of P2-N2 was observed, as well as an increase in the latency of the P2 component at the intensity of 75 dBnHL. No statistically significant differences were observed at the intensity of 60 dBnHL. Conclusion:the use of the hearing aid promoted the plasticity of the central auditory pathways, increasing the number of neurons responsive to the sound stimuli.

title: Food transition in premature newborn children: interfering factors

description: ABSTRACT Purpose: to check the variables which interfere in the transition from the alternative way of feeding to the beginning of proper oral mode. Methods: 30 preterm newborns from a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) participated, with initial weight of 1,500 grams, interned between May and July 2018. The study of the medical records of babies was performed in relation to comorbidities such as length of stay, weight, gestational age, use of mechanical ventilation, as well as quantitative and correlational analysis of the data. Results: among the participants, 27 newborns began being fed in an orogastric manner and three, in a nasogastric way, and in some cases, artificial nipples were used. The average of gestational age coincided with the possibility of the proper via oral feeding. The longest time of transition was exactly with the newborns who had had clinical complications. Conclusion: the clinical complication interfered in the time and prevalence of the alternative way of feeding during the process of food transition which, associated with the use of artificial nipples, may have interfered in the early weaning and in the failure of exclusive breastfeeding.

title: Modulation masking release reduction as a function of time-compressed speech

description: ABSTRACT Purpose: to investigate the magnitude of the modulation masking release in sentence recognition as a function of compression level and modulation rate. Methods: sentences of the Brazilian Portuguese version of the Hearing in Noise Test sentences were used as stimulus. The sentence recognition thresholds were established as a function of speech compression level (0%, 33%, and 50%) in steady and modulated noise at different modulation rates (4, 10, 32 Hz). The analysis of variance was performed for repeated measures, using the 5% significance level. Results: sentence recognition thresholds were higher for higher compression levels in the different types of noise. However, thresholds were smaller for modulated noises. Also, the magnitude of modulation masking release decreased as speech compression level increased. Nevertheless, no difference was observed in compressed speech between different noise modulation rates, in relation to the speech compression level. Conclusion: the magnitude of the modulation masking release decreased as the speech time-compression increased. Also, the reductions in modulation masking release, in relation to the speech time-compression level, did not differ between the masking-noise modulation rates (4, 10, and 32 Hz).

title: List of words to evaluate speech perception: recording and verification of applicability

description: ABSTRACT Purpose: to record the “List of Words to Evaluate the Speech Perception of Children with Hearing Loss” which is standardized for live speech presentation and verify its clinical applicability. Methods: recording: acoustic standards were used, three recordings of each word and analysis by judges. The list was recorded in silence at 60 decibels (dB) and signal noise relation of +10 dB. Participants: 30 children in the age range from five years to 10 years and 11 months, with no auditory and language disorders. The procedure was performed in live and recorded speech. Wilcoxon’s, paired t and Spearman’s correlation coefficient tests (p-value significantly less or equal to 0.05), were applied. Results: the comparison of performance for recognition of words and phonemes between live and recorded speech resulted in a statistically significant difference (p ≤ 0.05), in all conditions analyzed. The results were higher in the silence condition. There was no statistically significant difference between the time of application in the recorded speech when compared in silence and noise (p=0.064). Conclusion: the recording and application of the procedure that analyzes recognition of phonemes and words proved to be viable in recorded speech in silence and noise.

title: The practice of the art of clowning by a person with aphasia: a case report

description: ABSTRACT This study addresses the effects of the art of clowning on the quality of life and wellbeing of a woman presented with aphasia and depression. She was discharged from individual Speech-Language Therapy due to improved language skills, but she continued expressing emotional complaints associated with communicative situations. The participant joined Palhafasia, a community project that welcomes aphasics for group clowning sessions. She participated for six months in once-a-week meetings that lasted three hours each. The comparison of pre- and post-intervention measures detected improvements in her quality of life, including communication and subjective well-being of the participant. This innovative case study provides a preliminary contribution that must be further investigated. The study points to the potential benefits of the practice of clowning to promote quality of life and well-being of people with aphasia who suffer from depression.
