In this paper, we describe the case of a right-handed man, MR, who after right thalamic haemorrhage presented subtranscortical aphasia. Of the disturbances generally associated with standard left hemisphere functions, the patient presented acalculia but not apraxia. Among the functions attributed to the standard right hemisphere, MR showed impairment in affective language and presented unilateral neglect and a strong position preference.

Machine Learning Predictions of Recovery in Bilingual Poststroke Aphasia: Aligning Insights With Clinical Evidence.

Center for Brain Recovery, Boston University, MA (M.J.M., E.C., M.S., M.R.-M., S.K.).
Background: Predicting treated language improvement (TLI) and transfer to the untreated language (cross-language generalization, CLG) after speech-language therapy in bilingual individuals with poststroke aphasia is crucial for personalized treatment planning. This study evaluated machine learning models to predict TLI and CLG and identified the key predictive features (eg, patient severity, demographics, and treatment variables) aligning with clinical evidence.
Methods: Forty-eight Spanish-English bilingual individuals with poststroke aphasia received 20 sessions of semantic feature-based naming treatment in either their first or second language.
Comprehension of acoustically degraded emotional prosody in Alzheimer's disease and primary progressive aphasia.

December 2024
Dementia Research Centre, Department of Neurodegenerative Disease, UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology, University College London, 1st Floor, 8-11 Queen Square, London, WC1N 3AR, UK.
Previous research suggests that emotional prosody perception is impaired in neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's disease (AD) and primary progressive aphasia (PPA). However, no previous research has investigated emotional prosody perception in these diseases under non-ideal listening conditions. We recruited 18 patients with AD, and 31 with PPA (nine logopenic (lvPPA); 11 nonfluent/agrammatic (nfvPPA) and 11 semantic (svPPA)), together with 24 healthy age-matched individuals.

Background: Individuals having experienced a stroke need the help of an individual to perform their activities of daily living. Therefore, the disease affects not only patients but also their caregivers.
Objectives: This study aimed to investigate how aphasia affects caregivers' burden of care, quality of life, and occupational performance.
External Validation of Vision, Aphasia and Neglect, Ventura Emergent Large Vessel Occlusion and Large Artery Intracranial Occlusion Screening Tools for Emergent Large Vessel Occlusion Stroke: A Multicenter, Prospective, Cross-Sectional Study.

Department of Emergency Medicine, Istanbul Training and Research Hospital, Istanbul, Turkiye.
Background: Vision, Aphasia, and Neglect (VAN), Ventura Emergent Large Vessel Occlusion (VES), and Large Artery Intracranial Occlusion (LARIO) are promising stroke screening tools that were shown to have high diagnostic performance to detect Emergent Large Vessel Occlusion (ELVO) in their derivation studies.
Objectives: This study aimed to assess the validation of VAN, VES, and LARIO in predicting ELVO among patients presenting at emergency department (ED) triage with suspected acute ischemic stroke.
Methods: This is a prospective multicenter study conducted in five EDs of tertiary stroke centers between June and October 2023.
