COMMUNICATION DISORDER

A mental health disorder characterized by feelings of worry, anxiety, or fear that are strong enough to interfere with one’s daily activities

Examples of anxiety disorders include panic attacks, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder.

Symptoms include stress that’s out of proportion to the impact of the event, inability to set aside a worry, and restlessness.
Treatment includes counseling or medications, including antidepressants.

Age Onset: Children or following strokes or brain injuries.
Symptoms: Not based on perception difficulties such as blindness or deafness; affecting understanding or production of speech.
Progression: Performance significantly lower than expectations for that age of child or adult.
Causes: Developmental in children; stroke or brain damage in adults may cause “aphasia,” the inability to understand or express language.
Therapies: Mostly by speech and language therapists.

  • Mpox-AISM: AI-mediated super monitoring for mpox and like-mpox
    by Yubiao Yue on May 7, 2024

    Swift and accurate diagnosis for earlier-stage monkeypox (mpox) patients is crucial to avoiding its spread. However, the similarities between common skin disorders and mpox and the need for professional diagnosis unavoidably impaired the diagnosis of earlier-stage mpox patients and contributed to mpox outbreak. To address the challenge, we proposed "Super Monitoring", a real-time visualization technique employing artificial intelligence (AI) and Internet technology to diagnose earlier-stage mpox...

  • The application of neuronavigated rTMS of the supplementary motor area and rhythmic speech training for stuttering intervention
    by Mehdi Bakhtiar on May 7, 2024

    CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS: The findings of this study indicate that stimulating the SMA reduced stuttering, only in the production of tongue twisters that may require greater motor control and coordination. Furthermore, it indicates that rhythmic speech might help alleviate negative beliefs and anxiety related to stuttering. This research contributes to our understanding of neuromodulation in stuttering treatment and the role of the SMA in speech motor control and emphasises the need for more...

  • Effectiveness of Ayurveda Intervention in the Management of Infertility: A Systematic Review
    by Isha Rathi on May 7, 2024

    Infertility is encountered as a stressful condition by couples worldwide, impacting not just their physical and mental well-being but also placing financial strain on them. Ayurvedic management provides a promising, cost-effective avenue for addressing infertility disorders and enhances the success rates of in vitro fertilization (IVF), especially after previous unsuccessful attempts. This study aims to enhance clinical evidence and expand the scope of Ayurvedic approaches for managing...

  • miRNA profiling of B16F10 melanoma cell exosomes reveals melanin synthesis-related genes
    by Gyeongchan Jeon on May 7, 2024

    This study investigates the communication between skin cells, specifically melanocytes, keratinocytes, and fibroblasts, which is crucial for the process of melanin production known as melanogenesis. We aimed to understand the role of melanocyte exosomes in regulating melanogenesis and to uncover the microRNAs influencing this process. We isolated exosomes and characterized them using advanced microscopy and protein analysis to achieve this. We conducted experiments on melanoma cells to study...
