Crossed aphasia (CA) is a type of aphasia caused by cerebral hemispheric lesions on the same side of the dominant hand. The prevalence of CA is extremely rare. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report in Korea to conduct 6 years of long-term speech therapy in a case of a patient with CA. The patient was a 57-year-old right-handed man with aphasia caused by extensive acute infarction in the right middle cerebral artery territory. He presented with global aphasia, right-left disorientation, and agraphia. Language function recovered in the first 6 months and then plateaued.

Acute ischemic stroke, a medical emergency caused by reduced cerebral blood flow, results in brain cell damage. While commonly associated with older individuals, strokes can also occur in young and middle-aged adults, posing significant socio-economic and health challenges due to the long-term impact of the condition. This poses significant socio-economic and health challenges because stroke is a leading cause of disability and mortality.

In the clinical context of stroke, health-related quality of life (HRQOL) is a crucial patient-reported outcome measure that is frequently used to assess the effectiveness of neurorehabilitation programs. Despite its significance, the absence of a stroke-specific quality-of-life instrument translated into Romanian and validated for use in Romanian stroke patients, including those with aphasia, presents a notable gap in current research. This study briefly describes the translation and cross-cultural adaptation of the Stroke and Aphasia Quality of Life Scale-39 g (SAQOL-39 g) into Romanian (RO-SAQOL-39 g).

Machine Learning Predictions of Recovery in Bilingual Poststroke Aphasia: Aligning Insights With Clinical Evidence.
Stroke
January 2025
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.
