AI Article Synopsis
- The BLAST initiative focuses on studying long-term language changes in stroke patients, particularly those who are bilingual.
- The report highlights four cases from the BLAST database that exhibited coprolalia, which is the compulsive use of foul language.
- Three of the patients showed improvement in their condition after 30 days, suggesting that understanding coprolalia could enhance rehabilitation strategies for bilingual aphasic patients.
Article Abstract
The BLAST (bilingual aphasia in stroke-study team) initiative has been a multi-center attempt to investigate longitudinal changes in language function in a cohort of stroke subjects. This report discusses linguistic performance in four cases from the BLAST database who demonstrated coprolalia as an irresistible urge to say obscene words. Coprolalia was found to partly resolve in a 30-day follow-up in three cases. Recognition of coprolalia and language recovery patterns in bilingual aphasic patients with stroke would potentially lead to their even better individualized care and neurolinguistic/cognitive rehabilitation.

Mixed Transcortical Aphasia (MTA) is an infrequent aphasic syndrome, characterized by poor comprehension and production in oral language abilities and poor performance in written language abilities. However, individuals with MTA typically retain the ability to repeat. Our patient, a woman who suffered from a left hemisphere ischemic stroke involving perisylvian areas, presented with repetition preserved for words, non-words, sentences and numbers, together with marginally preserved reading abilities.

Background: The defective spoken output of persons with aphasia has anomia as a main clinical manifestation. Improving anomia is therefore a main goal of any language treatment.
Aim: This study assessed the effectiveness of a novel, 2-week, rehabilitation protocol (PHOLEXSEM), focused on PHonological, SEmantic, and LExical deficits, aiming at improving lexical retrieval, and, generally, spoken output.

Background And Objectives: Action observation treatment (AOT) is a novel rehabilitation approach aimed to the recovery of both motor and linguistic deficits in subjects with brain lesions. The aim of the present randomized controlled study was to assess the benefits of AOT treatment in the activities of daily living (ADLs) and in the linguistic abilities of the patients with Parkinson's disease dementia (PDD) at mild-moderate stage (Hoehn & Yahr's stage scale: 2-3).
Methods: Twenty patients were enrolled and randomly assigned to an experimental group (submitted to AOT) or to a control group.

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of the restoration of aphasic disorders in patients in the early recovery period of ischemic stroke (IS) who received complex therapy, which included speech therapy and injections of the drug Cellex.
Material And Methods: The study included 62 right-handed patients with aphasia hospitalized in the acute period of IS in Ramenskoye Hospital, who subsequently underwent the second stage of rehabilitation in the neurological department of the Moscow regional clinical institute .a.

Article Synopsis
- In a study of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients with pure aphasia, researchers analyzed the short-term course and predictors of persistent aphasia and functional outcomes.
- Out of 4513 AIS patients, only 131 had pure aphasia, and among those, 28.4% continued to experience significant aphasia in the subacute phase.
- Factors like stroke mechanism (cardioembolic or atheromatous) and executive function deficits predicted persistent aphasia, while being female and having ongoing aphasia were linked to poorer outcomes at 3 months.
