Neuropsychological Profile of Italian Children and Adolescents with 22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome with and Without Intellectual Disability

et al. 2011

As individuals with chromosome 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11DS) show a wide range of IQs, intellectual heterogeneity could mask the neuropsychological profile of the syndrome. This study was designed to identify specific neuropsychological features of children and adolescents with 22q11DS by taking into account the possible source of variability deriving from intellectual disability (ID). First, we compared several neuropsychological domains involving linguistic, visual-motor/visual-perceptual and memory abilities in 34 children and adolescents with 22q11DS and 83 mental age-matched typically developing (TD) participants. Then, we selected participants with 22q11DS according to whether or not they had ID and compared their neuropsychological profiles with those of chronological age-matched TD controls. Although language and several aspects of memory have been found impaired only in children with 22q11DS with ID, deficits in visual-spatial abilities and visual-object short-term memory persist in participants without ID and might be considered a characteristic of 22q11DS, not just related to the presence of ID. On the basis of our findings, children and adolescents with 22q11DS cannot be considered as a single group with a homogeneous neuropsychological profile and must be studied in relation to their global intellectual abilities.

“…Tools capable of detecting aphasia and evaluating its severity during the acute phase of stroke might help to improve early rehabilitation and to predict outcome [23]. Standard aphasia rating scales such as the Western Aphasia Battery, the BDAE (Boston Diagnostic Aphasia Evaluation), and the Boston Naming Test are not appropriate for use during the acute phase of stroke [22,[24][25][26]. In particular, these gold standard scales take too long to complete and must be administered by speech and language therapists [24][25][26].…”

The role of the stroke units in improving morbidity, mortality, and recovery from stroke is clearly demonstrated. However, acute management of language disorders in these specialized units remains controversial, and management of swallowing disorders is usually nonstandardized. The recent validation of a scale for rapid screening of language disorders (LAST [Language Screening Test]) in acute stroke patients should allow optimization of their detection and early management. Swallowing disorders should be screened and managed using a standardized protocol. Following early initial evaluation repeated on a daily basis, they justify tailored rehabilitation sessions, adaptation of food textures, team formation, and families' information. The use of these protocols implies the cooperation and coordination of the medical and paramedical teams and the daily presence of speech therapists. These aspects are crucial for patients in the stroke units to achieve full benefits from the management proposed in this paper, leading to diminution of complications and better long-term functional prognosis.

“…One recent study reported a kappa-equivalent score of 0.76 -a score that that is certainly acceptable, but that leaves much room for disagreement on the status of specific erroneous productions (Minkina et al, 2015). Other reported scores fall in a similar range (Kristensson et al, 2015), including when the productions are from neurotypical individuals (Nicholas et al, 1989). Automating this aspect of the task would not only improve efficiency, but would also decrease scoring variability.…”

We present a system for automatically detecting and classifying phonologically anomalous productions in the speech of individuals with aphasia. Working from transcribed discourse samples, our system identifies neologisms, and uses a combination of string alignment and language models to produce a lattice of plausible words that the speaker may have intended to produce. We then score this lattice according to various features, and attempt to determine whether the anomalous production represented a phonemic error or a genuine neologism. This approach has the potential to be expanded to consider other types of paraphasic errors, and could be applied to a wide variety of screening and therapeutic applications.
