“…Of the remaining 26 measures, 23 had studies which included non-stroke populations within their study samples [ 31 , 35 – 37 , 67 – 87 , 90 – 94 ] ( Table 2 ). Non-stroke conditions included: head injured/ closed head injury/ trauma or traumatic brain injury [ 31 , 37 , 68 , 70 , 71 , 73 , 74 , 77 , 78 , 82 , 92 , 94 ], tumour or ‘neoplastic’ conditions [ 31 , 37 , 68 , 74 , 92 , 94 ], spinal cord injury [ 67 ], multiple sclerosis (MS) [ 67 , 77 ], Alzheimer’s disease [ 69 , 73 ], post-surgical conditions [ 70 , 84 ], hereditary spastic paraparesis [ 77 ], learning disability, learning disorder [ 78 ], chronic obstructive airway disease [ 84 ], hypoxic brain injury [ 84 ], schizophrenia [ 92 ], primary progressive aphasia [ 93 ], abscess, degenerative, aneurism [ 94 ], A-V malformation [ 94 ], Parkinson’s disease, Korsakoff’s syndrome [ 94 ] or aetiology not specified [ 31 , 68 , 71 , 82 , 85 ,…”

Diagnosis of aphasia in stroke populations: A systematic review of language tests

Background and purposeAccurate aphasia diagnosis is important in stroke care. A wide range of language tests are available and include informal assessments, tests developed by healthcare institutions and commercially published tests available for purchase in pre-packaged kits. The psychometrics of these tests are often reported online or within the purchased test manuals, not the peer-reviewed literature, therefore the diagnostic capabilities of these measures have not been systematically evaluated. This review aimed to identify both commercial and non-commercial language tests and tests used in stroke care and to examine the diagnostic capabilities of all identified measures in diagnosing aphasia in stroke populations.MethodsLanguage tests were identified through a systematic search of 161 publisher databases, professional and resource websites and language tests reported to be used in stroke care. Two independent reviewers evaluated test manuals or associated resources for cohort or cross-sectional studies reporting the tests’ diagnostic capabilities (sensitivity, specificity, likelihood ratios or diagnostic odds ratios) in differentiating aphasic and non-aphasic stroke populations.ResultsFifty-six tests met the study eligibility criteria. Six “non-specialist” brief screening tests reported sensitivity and specificity information, however none of these measures reported to meet the specific diagnostic needs of speech pathologists. The 50 remaining measures either did not report validity data (n = 7); did not compare patient test performance with a comparison group (n = 17); included non-stroke participants within their samples (n = 23) or did not compare stroke patient performance against a language reference standard (n = 3). Diagnostic sensitivity analysis was completed for six speech pathology measures (WAB, PICA, CADL-2, ASHA-FACS, Adult FAVRES and EFA-4), however all studies compared aphasic performance with that of non-stroke healthy controls and were consequently excluded from the review.ConclusionsNo speech pathology test was found which reported diagnostic data for identifying aphasia in stroke populations. A diagnostically validated post-stroke aphasia test is needed.

“…The Fraser Lowland is of relatively flat terrain, measuring approximately 3500 kilometers [ 21 ]. It is delimited by mountains to the north, south and east, and the Strait of Georgia to the west creating a confined air shed divided nearly equally between the US and Canada.…”

Environmental Resource Management in Borderlands: Evolution from Competing Interests to Common Aversions

Great enthusiasm is attached to the emergence of cross-border regions (CBRs) as a new institutional arrangement for dealing with local cross-border environmental resource management and other issues that remain too distant from national capitals and/or too expensive to be addressed in the traditional topocratic manner requiring instead local adhocratic methods. This study briefly discusses the perceived value of CBRs and necessary and sufficient conditions for the successful and sustainable development of such places. Then, assuming that necessary conditions can be met, the study investigates an intriguing hypothesis concerning the catalyzing of sustainable consensus for cross-border resource management based on a game theoretical approach that employs the use of dilemma of common aversion rather than the more traditional dilemma of competing common interests. Using this lens to investigate a series of events on the Pacific northwestern Canadian-American border in a part of the Fraser Lowland, we look for evidence of the emergence of an active and sustainable CBR to address local trans-border resource management issues. Although our micro-level scale fails to conclusively demonstrate such evidence, it does demonstrate the value of using this approach and suggests a number of avenues for further research.
