Sentence Judgment and Correction Abilities in Persons with Anomic and Conduction Aphasia
Abstract: Persons with aphasia posses’ difficulty in syntactic judgment, regardless of the aphasia type. Even persons with milder variants with aphasia such as conduction aphasia and anomic aphasia do exhibit deficits on syntactic judgment. The syntactic judgment ability is tested through a judgment task where the participants have to speculate the response if the sentence presented to them is correct or incorrect. In order to counteract this variable, sentence correction task …

Lexical semantic activation in persons with Aphasia
Abstract: Lexical semantic activation (LSA) is defined as retrieval of the most appropriate word from the lexicon. LSA is accomplished through three steps, conceptual activation, lexical node activation and phoneme retrieval and can be tested through a variety of tasks including priming task. LSA is found to be defective in persons with aphasia; it can be manifested as storage deficit or access deficit. Storage deficit is a condition where there is …

Auditory Discrimination for Meaningful and Non-meaningful Minimal Pairs in Persons with Aphasia and Neurotypical Population
Abstract: The present study was carried out with the aim of investigating auditory discrimination in persons with aphasia. Neurotypical participants, persons with anomic aphasia and persons with Broca’s aphasia served as the participants of the study. Auditory discrimination task was carried out on all the participants. The participants were instructed to denote if the pair of words was alike or different by pressing the designated keys on a game pad. Neurotypical …

Contextual Cueing for Retrieval of Nouns and Verbs in Persons with Anomic Aphasia
Abstract: Persons with anomic aphasia exhibit word finding difficulties. These word finding difficulties are often attributed to lexical semantic breakdown and are manifested as naming difficulty. The errors on naming can be overcome by using cues. Cues can be of different types such as phonemic, semantic etc. Many studies have been carried out to determine the efficacy of such cues. Verbal contextual cue is also a type of cue where the …

Efficacy of Tele Rehabilitation in A Stroke Survivor with Aphasia: An Extensive case study
Abstract: Tele-rehabilitation refers to a mode of service delivery where therapy is imparted through tele-mode and tele-rehabilitation is extensively used in the treatment of communication disorders. Many efficacy studies have been reported earlier especially in clients with aphasia; however, most of these studies are western studies and the results cannot be generalised to Indian context, this fact necessitated the present study. The present attempt is a case study; the client was …

Utility of Masked Priming Paradigm in Treatment of Anomic Aphasia: An Exploratory Study
Abstract: The study was carried out with the aim of testing the utility of masked priming paradigm in persons with anomic aphasia. The study was carried in two phases, in the training phase line drawings were used, the participants were asked to observe the prime and focus on the target. Nouns were used as target; the nouns were preceded by primes which were either semantically related or unrelated to the target. …

Variations of Macroplastics in Water and Sediments at Bundu Waterfront, Upper Bonny Estuary, Rivers State, Nigeria
Abstract: Macroplastic pollution has become an increasingly severe environmental challenge, particularly in urban waterfronts where waste management is inadequate. Bundu Waterfront of the Upper Bonny Estuary in Port Harcourt, Rivers State is a sink for macroplatics from careless disposal of solid wastes and inadequate management thus affecting the biological integrity and aquatic life of this estuary. The resultant impact of the macroplastics on abiotic factors through the evaluation of different floating …

Visual Outcome in Patients with Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment Undergoing Primary Scleral Buckling Procedure
Abstract: This study was aimed at the visual and anatomical outcome of the conventional sclera buckling procedure performed for primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. Fifty eyes of 50 patients of RRD were studied. Preoperative data included patient’s gender, lens status (phakic, aphakic, visually significant cataract, pseudophakia), history of trauma, ocular surgery, macular detachment and preoperative BCVA. Cases were stratified into four BCVA groups, both pre- and postoperatively. There were 21 males (42%) …
