[Studying the possibility of using methods for assessing expressive speech developmental disorders in children 3-6 years old].

Objective: To study the possibility of using methods (DP-3, speech therapy examination, neuropsychological study) to assess expressive speech development disorders in children aged 3 to 6 years inclusive.

Material And Methods: The study included 60 children with expressive speech disorder aged 3 to 6 years. At the initial stage, linguistic validation of the questionnaire was carried out according to generally accepted recommendations.

[Neurological manifestations of postcovid syndrome].

The problem of postcovid syndrome (PCS) attracts great interest due to the wide prevalence and variety of clinical manifestations. The main neurological manifestations of PCS are considered. The information about the proposed mechanisms of the formation of PCS is given.

[Dual-tasks is an indicator of cognitive deficit specificity in patients after traumatic brain injury].

Aim: To investigate the brain activity impairment in patients after traumatic brain injury (TBI) during dual-tasks in comparison with the normal ranges.

Material And Methods: Electroencephalographic (EEG), stabilographic and clinical study was performed in 9 patients (mean age 25±1.2 years) for up to 3 months after a mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) in comparison with 18 healthy subjects (mean age 26.

[Regression of post-stroke aphasia and associated non-speech syndromes caused by a course of restorative treatment including intensive speech therapy].

Aim: To analyze clinical and fMRI indicators related with the therapeutic effectiveness of complex restorative treatment including intensive speech therapy in various clinical forms and severity of the aphasia syndrome.

Material And Methods: The study included 40 right-handed patients with aphasia syndrome after the first hemispheric ischemic stroke. Patients were studied 3 month after disease onset.

[The prognosis for post-stroke aphasia].

Aim: To determine risk factors and factors of favorable prognosis for regression of post-stroke aphasia in the early recovery period of ischemic stroke (IS).

Material And Methods: A cohort study was undertaken with 40 patients with different clinical forms of aphasia. The duration of study was 3-4 months of the disease.

A fight for life and dignity: A case of massive traumatic brain injury and the paths for treatment and neurorehabilitation.

We present a clinical case of treatment and neurorehabilitation of a patient with severe neurological deficit due to extensive traumatic lesion of the left hemisphere of the brain. Until recently, such cases were considered incurable and remained marginalized throughout their lives. This clinical case illustrates the compensatory brain possibilities under long-term integrated multidisciplinary treatment and neurorehabilitation with mandatory application of medical, medico-psychological, medico-pedagogical, and medico-social methods, the importance and intensity of which vary at different stages of the disease.

[An assessment of cerebrolysin effect on BDNF level in patients with post stroke aphasia depending on carbohydrate metabolism disorders].

Aim: We carried out an open randomized controlled study to explore the changes in the rate of speech recovery and BDNF concentrations in patients with left-hemisphere stroke and carbohydrate metabolism disorders (diabetes mellitus type2 or prediabetes) who received cerebrolysin.

Material And Methods: A study included 60 inpatients of the Center of Speech Pathology and Neurorehabilitation. Neuropsychological examination was performed at baseline and after the treatment was completed.
