Article Synopsis
- - The study examines the growing cultural and linguistic diversity in aphasia therapy, highlighting the challenges faced by speech pathologists who often do not share a language with their clients, and the lack of research on the role of interpreters in this context.
- - Through interviews with eight certified interpreters, the research identifies three main themes: the unique practices required when interpreting for aphasia, the importance of collaboration between speech pathologists and interpreters, and the additional skills needed to handle these situations effectively.
- - The findings point to the need for systemic changes in health services to ensure that aphasia rehabilitation is culturally responsive and equitable for diverse populations.
Article Synopsis
- After a stroke, individuals with communication disabilities struggle to return to work and lack clear guidelines for vocational rehabilitation, making it essential to understand their experiences and needs.
- This study involved in-depth interviews with seven participants to explore their vocational rehabilitation experiences and identify system gaps.
- Findings revealed that while rehabilitation was helpful, participants faced challenges like limited psychological support, access to specialized programs, and a lack of readiness for the impact of communication changes on their job performance.
Despite the record-breaking discovery, development and approval of vaccines and antiviral therapeutics such as Paxlovid, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) remained the fourth leading cause of death in the world and third highest in the United States in 2022. Here, we report the discovery and characterization of PF-07817883, a second-generation, orally bioavailable, SARS-CoV-2 main protease inhibitor with improved metabolic stability versus nirmatrelvir, the antiviral component of the ritonavir-boosted therapy Paxlovid. We demonstrate the pan-human coronavirus antiviral activity and off-target selectivity profile of PF-07817883.
