Dysarthria and Dysphagia in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis: A Case Study
Abstract: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is the most common motor neuron disease affecting the bulbar, limb and respiratory muscles. ALS is generally characterized by progressive degeneration of both upper motor neuron (UMN) and lower motor neuron (LMN) dysfunction leading to a ‘mixed’ spastic-flaccid dysarthria. To date, only a few studies have been published regarding the nature of speech characteristics and dysphagia during the developmental course of ALS. The present study highlighted …

Functional Outcomes of an Individual with Partial Glossectomy: A Case Report
Abstract: Individuals with Glossectomy experience life-altering deficits resulting in a severe speech and swallowing problems that significantly impact their quality of life (QoL). It is crucial to document changes in speech subsystems, swallowing, and QoL in individuals with glossectomy. This knowledge is often used for rehabilitation, employment, participation in the community, and to inform the role of family members in the betterment of the patient. To date, very few studies have …

Ameliorating Effect of Vitamin C on Acid Orange 7 Induced Oxidative Stress in the Gill of the Fish, Anabas testudineus (Bloch, 1792)
Abstract: Acid orange 7, an azo dye, was exposed to Anabas testudineus at a sublethal concentration (0.27 g/l) for 24, 72 and 96 h in order to evaluate the antioxidant status in the gill tissue. In addition, vitamin C at 0.55 g/l was exposed for 7 days after the dye exposure. Acid orange 7 decreased the body weight of fish, whereas mucous deposition increased significantly as the first line of defensive …

Analysis of Thermally Actuated Micromirrors
Abstract: Use of microelectromechanical system (MEMS) to craft deformable mirror is in the embryonic stage. However, MEMS micromirrors hold significant advantages in speed, compactness, and economy in comparison to macroscale counterparts. The MEMS micromirrors are fabricated by silicon batch processing or micrometer scale lithographic pattering technique which offer flexibility in low volume manufacturing and inter batch variations. The project is a structural study and involves the modeling of various geometries for …
