“…The ratio of aphasia between sexes (male to female) is 1.23:1, not much different from the previous study in North Sulawesi, namely 1.4:1 [12]. This is in line with other findings stating that there are more male aphasic patients than female patient (2.25:1) and that there is no correlation between sex and aphasia [14], [18]. This also supports the analysis showing no difference between sexes in the occurrence of aphasia.…”

“…The occurrence of aphasia in stroke patients in this study was 13.3%, similar to the study in North Sulawesi by Purnomo, Sengkey and Damopolii [12], in which the occurrence was 13.2%, and is slightly lower than the review of studies in nine countries by Ellis et al [4], which was 18-38%. Other studies have also found varying numbers of aphasia rates, from 20% to 40% [13], [14]. In the latter case, the rate was postulated as due to the different brain representation of language across speakers of different languages [14].…”

In the latter case, the rate was postulated as due to the different brain representation of language across speakers of different languages [14]. The incidence of aphasia might be lower than in the actual population because of the significant variability in patient natural recovery between tests, especially in the acute stages [15], [16] and the less accurate diagnostic procedures for post-stroke aphasia.…”

Introduction: Aphasia is a language disorder caused by damage in the language areas of the brain. One of the main causes of aphasia is stroke. There are currently not many studies describing the profiles of stroke patients, especially those with aphasia. This study aims to describe and compare the profiles of stroke patients, with and without aphasia. Method: This study used a descriptive analytic design with a cross-sectional method to describe the profiles of a sample of 217 stroke patients who were admitted to Dr. Soetomo General Hospital Surabaya in 2019-2020. Medical records were used to collect the data. Results: Aphasia occurrence was observed in 13.3% of the patients. The mean age of the population was 57.6±12.1 years, and the majority of the patients were male. Hemorrhagic stroke was the most seen type of stroke, but the aphasia ratio was higher in ischemic stroke patients. Global aphasia occurred in 37.93% of the aphasic patients. As much as 48.27% of patients with aphasia had strokes on the left hemisphere. No significant difference has been found between patients with and without aphasia for age, gender, risk factor, and stroke hemisphere variables, but there is an inclination towards aphasia in patient with left hemisphere strokes. Conclusion: Aphasia is seen more in middle-aged male patients and ischemic stroke patients in the left hemisphere. Global aphasia is the most seen subtype of aphasia. There is a tendency of patients with stroke on the left hemisphere to have aphasia.

Background Every language has certain specific idiosyncrasies in its writing system. Cross‐linguistic analyses of alexias and agraphias are fundamental to understand commonalities and differences in the brain organization of written language. Few reports of alexias and agraphias in the Spanish language are currently available. Aims To analyse the clinical manifestations of alexias and agraphias in Spanish, and the effect of demographic variables. Methods & Procedures Spanish versions of the Western Aphasia Battery (WAB) and Boston Diagnostic Aphasia Examination (BDAE) were used for language assessment. Lesion localization was obtained by using computed axial tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. The final sample included 200 patients: 195 (97.5%) right‐handed and five (2.5%) left‐handed; 119 men and 81 women with a mean age of 57.37 years (SD = 15.56), education of 13.52 years (SD = 4.08), and mean time post‐onset of 6.58 months (SD = 12.94). Using the WAB, four quotients were calculated: aphasia quotient (AQ), reading–writing quotient (RWQ), language quotient (LQ) and cortical quotient (CQ). Outcomes & Results The types of aphasia were: global = 11 patients (5.5%), Broca = 31 (15.5%), Wernicke = 30 (15.0%), conduction = 22 (11.0%), transcortical sensory = 17 (8.5%), transcortical motor = 3 (1.5%), amnesic or anomic = 54 (27.0%) and mixed non‐fluent = 32 (16.0%). The degree of oral and written language impairment differed across the various aphasia types. Most severe reading and writing difficulties were found in global, mixed non‐fluent and transcortical motor aphasia; fewer difficulties were observed in amnesic, Broca and conduction aphasia. The severity of the written language impairments paralleled the severity of the oral language disturbances. Age negatively, while schooling positively, correlated with the scores in reading and writing tests. No effect of sex and time since onset was found. Conclusions & Implications In Spanish‐speaking aphasia patients, difficulties in reading and writing are similar to oral language difficulties. This similarity of performance is mostly based on severity rather than the participants’ patterns of errors.

Background:Little is known about the influence of bilingualism in aphasia. Aims:To analyze the effect of bilingualism in a group of patients with aphasia.Methods: Data from155 monolingual and 53 bilingual aphasia patients were analyzed.Results: It was found that aphasia was significantly less severe in bilinguals when compared to monolinguals (p=0.023) Conclusion: Bilingualism represents a protecting factor in aphasia. Aphasia is less severe and consequently, recovery is expected to be better in bilingual patients.
