Telerehabilitation of Anomia in Primary Progressive Aphasia.

Background: The efficacy of telerehabilitation-based treatment for anomia has been demonstrated in post-stroke aphasia, but the efficacy of this method of anomia treatment delivery has not been established within the context of degenerative illness.

Aims: The current study evaluated the feasibility and efficacy of a telerehabilitation-based approach to anomia treatment within the three subtypes of primary progressive aphasia (PPA).

Methods & Procedures: Each of the three telerehabilitation participants represented a distinct subtype of PPA.

Communication plays a critical role in web-based monitoring.

Background: Patient-health care practitioner (HCP) interaction via a Web-based diabetes management system may increase patient monitoring of their blood glucose (BG) levels.

Methods: A three-center, nonrandomized, prospective feasibility study of 109 Native Americans with poorly controlled type 1 diabetes mellitus and type 2 diabetes mellitus were recruited from Alabama, Idaho, and Arizona. The study intervention included the use of a Web-based diabetes management application (MyCareTeam) that allowed timely interaction between patients and HCPs.

Web-based care management in patients with poorly controlled diabetes.

Objective: To assess the effects of web-based care management on glucose and blood pressure control over 12 months in patients with poorly controlled diabetes.

Research Design And Methods: For this study, 104 patients with diabetes and HbA(1c) (A1C) > or =9.0% who received their care at a Department of Veterans Affairs medical center were recruited.
