Deficits in monitoring self-produced speech in Parkinson's disease.

Objective: Speech deficits are common in Parkinson's disease, and behavioural findings suggest that the deficits may be due to impaired monitoring of self-produced speech. The neural mechanisms of speech deficits are not well understood. We examined a well-documented electrophysiological correlate of speech self-monitoring in patients with Parkinson's disease and control participants.

Task analysis and interoperable application services for service event management.

In addition to the information specifications for electronic health records, functional and behavioral capabilities need to be agreed to achieve interoperability. In this paper, we present results from task analysis and specification of software services to support the management of service events. The work has been performed to support the management of the nationally shared EPR in Finland.
