Intelligibility in dysarthria: effects of listener familiarity and speaking condition.

This study examined the effects of familiarization and speaking condition on sentence intelligibility for a speaker with dysarthria secondary to a traumatic brain injury (TBI). Familiarization procedures included hearing the speaker read a paragraph or a word list comprised of a random ordering of the words in the paragraph. Such an approach allowed for statements concerning the benefit of prior exposure to a sentence-level prosody and word level articulatory-acoustic patterns versus only word-level articulatory-acoustic patterns.

Scintigraphic and X-ray arthrographic diagnosis of femoral prosthesis loosening: concise communication.

In order to determine loosening of femoral components of conventional total hip arthroplasties, a comparison of radionuclide (RA) and radiographic arthrograms (XA) was performed. The hips of 29 patients were studied with radiographic contrast and intraarticular Tc-99m sulfur colloid. The XAs were positive for loosening in 10/29 studies, whereas the RAs were positive in 19/29 studies.
