Abstract:
Purpose The purpose of this article is to revisit the role of augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) in poststroke aphasia rehabilitation. The authors' intent is to provide a viewpoint that expands the use of AAC in poststroke aphasia rehabilitation. Specifically, we seek to clarify the role of AAC in restorative and participation approaches to aphasia rehabilitation while also considering the role of AAC in a comprehensive treatment plan. The authors support their viewpoint with citations from both the historic and contemporary literature on aphasia rehabilitation. Conclusions A thought-provoking viewpoint on the role of AAC in poststroke aphasia rehabilitation is proposed. More specifically, the versatility of AAC strategies is reviewed, with an emphasis on how AAC can be used to empower people with aphasia to fully participate and engage in life activities with increased independence. Moreover, we argue that AAC can be viewed as a dual-purpose tool that can simultaneously serve to drive intersystemic reorganization resulting in some improved language performance—and perhaps restoration of language function—while offering a communication alternative during inevitable anomic events.

Abstract:
Augmentative and Alternative Communication is an aided or unaided means of communication which supports existing communication abilities of an individual or replaces natural speech due to any speech and language disorder. The deficit could be developmental or acquired such as autism spectrum disorder, cerebral palsy, learning difficulties, dysarthria, dyspraxia or due to any acquired neurological condition such as aphasia and other degenerative disorders. Furthermore, it may be due to surgical procedures such as laryngectomy. Alternate means of communication have also been successfully used with COVID-19 patients. These tools may include pictures, symbols, signs or voice output devices. Parents of children with special needs and medical professionals have been reluctant in implementing the approach due to certain misconceptions. The aim of this review is to summarize the current evidence for the use of Augmentative and Alternative Communication with a range of disorders in relation to in relation to Pakistan.

Abstract:
Communication is one of the critical components in determining quality of life of individuals and families. All members of the transdisciplinary rehabilitation team therefore need to develop the knowledge and skills to communicate effectively with clients with little or no speech. This involves creating opportunities for communicative interaction and facilitation of functional communication. The field of augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) provides strategies and techniques which facilitate the interaction process and is applicable to a wide range of medical conditions which may impact on the functionality and intelligibility of speech. These strategies are classified either as aided or unaided. The role of the physiotherapist in AAC assessment and intervention is explored in the context of transdisciplinary teamwork. The importance of exposing students to AAC as part of the undergraduate and postgraduate training programs for physiotherapists is discussed.

Abstract:
An experiment was conducted to evaluate the role of plant growth promoting bacteria (PGPB) in mitigating salinity stress in Trigonella foenum graecum. Plants were subjected to three different levels of salinity viz 0, 70 and 150 mM NaCl (electrical conductivity value 0.01, 7.67 and 15.50 mS cm-1 , respectively) using a completely randomized design experiment. PGPB showed positive effects in mitigation of salinity stress in fenugreek plants and elevated various growth responses viz. shoot and root length, shoot and root dry weight, leaf area and number of leaves as compared to uninoculated plants. Microbial inoculation significantly enhanced the physiological responses viz. photosynthetic rate, stomatal conductance, transpiration and internal CO2 as compared to uninoculated plants. Biochemical aspects like carotenoids, chlorophylls, nitrogen and protein content were also increased in the microbial inoculated plants as compared to uninoculated plants. PGPB was very effective than in mitigating salinity stress in fenugreek plant. The findings of this study revealed that PGPB inoculation can help the plants to overcome the deleterious effects of salinity stress in fenugreek plants.

Full text
Abstract:
Using a 6-OHDA model of Parkinson’s disease, we have preliminary evidence that L-DOPA-derived dopamine (DA) ceases to be released through conventional mechanisms of exocytosis under severe denervation. This may be problematic, as large, and possibly unregulated release of L-DOPA-derived DA would be expected to cause abnormal patterns of DA stimulation at the postsynaptic receptors, likely contributing to the development of dyskinesia. This issue may be overcome with the Dopamine Transporter (DAT) blocker Methylphenidate (MPD). Ahn and Phillips observed that MPD augmented the L-DOPA-derived DA efflux in a manner consistent with the under-appreciated fact that MPD also acts as a vesicular monoamine transporter (VMAT2) agonist (Volz, 2008), thereby facilitating the sequestration of cytosolic DA into vesicles, where it could enter into a cycle of impulse-dependent release processes. The hypothesis that MPD may influence the sequestration and release of L-DOPA-derived DA into presynaptically-regulated mechanisms of exocytosis may have beneficial therapeutic implications. Thus, the two major objectives of this thesis were first to assess whether L-DOPA-derived DA remained under presynaptic D2 autoreceptor regulation dependent on the severity of striatal denervation, and second, to investigate the mechanism(s) by which MPD may facilitate vesicular DA release, possibly by involvement of the D2 autoreceptor. L-DOPA was reverse-dialyzed into the intact and 6-OHDA lesioned dorsal striatum of the rat, followed by the reverse-dialysis of the D2 autoreceptor agonist and antagonist, Quinpirole and Eticlopride, or the VMAT2 inhibitor, Tetrabenazine. Although L-DOPA-evoked DA efflux remained under D2 autoreceptor control in the intact and moderately lesioned striatum, in the case of severe, 95% denervation, L-DOPA-evoked DA efflux was unaffected by D2 autoreceptor regulation or VMAT2 inhibition. However, despite the apparent loss of autoreceptor regulation, a subsequent study found that inhibitory binding of the D2 autoreceptor by reverse-dialysis of Eticlopride into the severely denervated striatum prior to the administration of MPD, completely blocked MPD-induced augmentation of L-DOPA-derived DA. These results implicate the D2 autoreceptor in a novel mechanism by which MPD can facilitate DA neurotransmission, and suggest that even under conditions of severe denervation, the presynaptic D2 autoreceptor may be manipulated pharmacologically to facilitate the exocytotic release of L-DOPA-derived DA.

Abstract:
Background: The late onset of therapeutic response and a relatively large proportion of nonresponders to antidepressants remain major concerns in clinical practice. Therefore, there is a critical need for effective medication strategies that augment treatment with antidepressants. Methods: To review the available evidence on the use of lithium as an augmentation strategy to treat depressive episodes. Results: More than 30 open-label studies and 10 placebo-controlled double-blind trials have demonstrated substantial efficacy of lithium augmentation in the acute treatment of depressive episodes. Most of these studies were performed in unipolar depression and included all major classes of antidepressants, however mostly tricyclics. A meta-analysis including 10 randomized placebo-controlled trials has provided evidence that lithium augmentation has a statistically significant effect on the response rate compared to placebo with an odds ratio of 3.11, which corresponds to a number-needed-to-treat of 5. The meta-analysis revealed a mean response rate of 41.2% in the lithium group and 14.4% in the placebo group. One placebo-controlled trial in the continuation treatment phase showed that responders to acute-phase lithium augmentation should be maintained on the lithium-antidepressant combination for at least 12 months to prevent early relapses. Preliminary studies to assess genetic influences on response probability to lithium augmentation have suggested a predictive role of the –50T/C single nucleotide polymorphism of the GSK3β gene. Conclusion: Augmentation of antidepressants with lithium is currently the best-evidenced augmentation therapy in the treatment of depressed patients who do not respond to antidepressants

Full text
Abstract:
Introduction: Studies in healthy volunteers have demonstrated that peroneal nerve stimulation augments blood flow. The studies described within this thesis aimed to establish whether use of the geko™ neuromuscular stimulation device was effective and augments arterial venous and microcirculatory flow in patients with lower limb arterial and venous disease. The fibrinolytic and angiogenic activity of electrical stimulation within this cohort was also examined. Methods: Ethical approval was obtained for all aspects of the described studies. Participants with claudication, varicose veins or post- operative infrainguinal bypass grafts were assigned to receive either unilateral active stimulation or sham. Duplex assessments of arterial and venous volume flow were performed at baseline and following stimulation. Laser Doppler flowmetry measurements of microcirculatory flow were made continuously throughout the study period. ELISA analysis was undertaken of plasma samples drawn at baseline and following stimulation to determine the effect on vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF), tissue plasminogen activator(t-PA) and plasminogen activator inhibitor 1(PAI-1). Results: The geko™ device was effective at producing visible muscle contraction in only 59% patients tested due to a combination of oedema and neuropathy. 77 participants were recruited in total to either a proof of concept study or the initial phase of a randomised trial: 30 claudicants (25 active, 5 control), 25 post infrainguinal bypass (19 active, 6 control) and 22 varicose veins (17 active, 5 control). Arterial volume flow increased significantly in all patient groups receiving active stimulation: claudicants 60 ml/ min(P<0.001); infra-inguinal bypass grafts 70ml/min(P<0.001) and varicose veins 80 ml/min(P<0.001). Venous volume flow significantly increased in all patient groups: claudicants 30 ml/min(P=0.001); infra-inguinal bypass grafts 30 ml/min(P=0.004) and varicose veins 80 ml/min(P<0.001). Microcirculatory flow increased in all patient groups: claudicants 22.2 flux units(P<0.001); infra-inguinal bypass grafts 21.8 flux units(P<0.001) and varicose veins 28.4 flux units(P<0.001). ELISA analysis demonstrated no statistically significant change in VEGF or t-PA antigen levels when comparing the active with the passive and control limbs. Peroneal nerve stimulation in the active limbs resulted in a significant decrease in PAI-1 of 34 ng/ml(P<0.001). Conclusion: Transcutaneous peroneal nerve stimulation with the geko™ device is potentially beneficial in patients with lower limb arterial and venous disease. This is primarily due to its ability to augment venous, arterial and microcirculatory flow. The results of this study were influential in the NICE guidance approving its use in vascular patients as a means of DVT prophylaxis. The enhanced fibrinolytic effect, by decreasing levels of PAI-1, warrants further investigation.

Abstract:
La présente recherche a pour objet la pratique orthophonique en suppléance à la communication (SC) auprès de personnes qui ont une déficience intellectuelle (DI). Des recherches ont montré que les aides à la communication à sortie vocale (ACSV) pouvaient améliorer la communication des personnes ayant une DI. Cependant, la plupart de ces recherches ont été menées dans des conditions idéales qui ne reflètent pas nécessairement celles que l’on retrouve dans les milieux cliniques typiques. On connaît peu de choses sur les pratiques professionnelles en SC auprès des personnes ayant une DI. Le but de cette recherche est de décrire la pratique orthophonique, de documenter les perspectives des utilisateurs sur les résultats des interventions et de décrire l’implication des parents et leurs habiletés à soutenir leur enfant dans l’utilisation d’une ACSV afin de proposer un modèle d’intervention en SC auprès de cette clientèle qui tienne compte de ces différentes perspectives. Une méthode qualitative a été choisie pour réaliser la recherche. Des entrevues individuelles semi-structurées ont été réalisées avec onze orthophonistes francophones et avec des parents ou familles d’accueil de dix utilisateurs d’ACSV et des entrevues structurées ont été menées avec huit utilisateurs d’ACSV. Un outil d’entrevue a été conçu à l’aide de pictogrammes pour permettre aux utilisateurs d’ACSV de répondre à des questions portant sur leur appréciation et utilisation de leur ACSV, leur satisfaction et priorités de communication. Un cadre conceptuel a été conçu à partir des guides de pratique clinique et un codage semi-ouvert a été utilisé pour réaliser les analyses thématiques des données provenant des orthophonistes. Un codage ouvert a servi à analyser les données provenant des parents. Des analyses descriptives ont servi à examiner les réponses des utilisateurs. Diverses procédures ont assuré la crédibilité des analyses. Entre autres, les analyses des entrevues des orthophonistes ont été validées lors d’un groupe de discussion avec sept participantes orthophonistes. Les résultats montrent que les ACSV sont utilisées surtout dans le milieu scolaire. Elles sont parfois utilisées lors des loisirs et dans la communauté, mais ces contextes sont ceux où les utilisateurs ont exprimé le plus d’insatisfaction et où se situe la majeure partie des priorités qu’ils ont identifiées. Les analyses ont permis d’identifier les facteurs qui rendent compte de ces résultats. Les orthophonistes manquent d’outils pour réaliser des évaluations exhaustives des capacités des clients et elles manquent de procédures pour impliquer les parents et obtenir d’eux une description complète des besoins de communication de leur enfant. Conséquemment, l’ACSV attribuée et le vocabulaire programmé ne répondent pas à l’ensemble des besoins de communication. Certaines orthophonistes manquent de connaissances sur les ACSV ou n’ont pas le matériel pour faire des essais avec les clients. Il en résulte un appariement entre la personne et l’ACSV qui n’est pas toujours parfait. À cause d’un manque de ressources en orthophonie, les parents sont parfois laissés sans soutien pour apporter les changements à la programmation lors des transitions dans la vie de leur enfant et certains ne reçoivent pas d’entraînement visant à soutenir l’utilisation de l’ACSV. Un modèle d’intervention en SC est proposé afin d’améliorer la pratique orthophonique auprès de cette population.
This research targets the practices in Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) of speech-language pathologists (SLPs) who work with individuals who have an intellectual disability (ID). Prior research has shown that speech generating devices (SGDs) can help individuals with ID to improve their communication. However, these studies were conducted under ideal conditions, which do not necessarily reflect those that prevail in typical clinical settings. We have little information about AAC practices with individuals with ID or about the efficacy of SGD attribution and AAC intervention under typical conditions. The goals of this research are therefore to describe AAC practices of SLPs with individuals who have an ID, to document the users’ perspectives on the outcome of AAC interventions and to describe the parents’ implication and their abilities to support their child’s use of an SGD in order to propose an intervention model that takes into account these different perspectives. Qualitative methods were chosen to address these questions. Individual semi-structured interviews were conducted with eleven French-speaking SLPs and with the parents or foster families of ten SGD users, and structured interviews with eight SGD users. These interviews were analyzed in order to gather information about research questions. An evaluation tool, made of graphic symbols, was developed to gather information from SGD users about their use of their SGD, their satisfaction, and communication priorities, and about their appreciation of their SGDs. A conceptual framework was developed based on clinical practice guidelines to analyze SLP’s interviews, and a thematic analysis was conducted with semi-open coding. Open coding was used for the data from parents’ interviews, and descriptive analysis of the SGD users’ responses was performed. Steps were taken to ensure credibility of the findings; in particular a focus group was conducted with seven of the participating SLPs to validate the interview results. The results showed that the SGDs are used most frequently in school settings. They are used only occasionally in leisure activities and in the community, but these are the contexts in which the users were most dissatisfied with their communication and in which they most frequently indicated priorities for communication. Factors that explain these results were identified through thematic analysis. SLPs lack the tools they need to perform a comprehensive evaluation of the users’ capacities. They lack procedures for involving parents in the evaluation and for obtaining a thorough description of their child’s communication needs. This might result in attribution of SGSs and identification of vocabulary that do not meet the user’s needs. Some of the SLPs lack sufficient knowledge and do not have SGDs available for trials with their clients, resulting in a less-than-perfect matches between the users and the SGDs. Lack of professional resources leaves parents without support to make changes needed in times of transition in their child’s life. Parents may be unable to support their child’s use of SGD in a variety of contexts. An attribution and AAC intervention model is proposed in order to improve AAC intervention and SLP’s practices.

Full text
Abstract:
Previous research using an animal model of relapse has shown that acute food deprivation will increase drug seeking. Recent evidence from humans, however, suggests that chronic food restriction rather than acute deprivation is related to increases in drug taking and relapse, emphasizing the need to develop an animal model to elucidate the mechanisms mediating the effects of chronic food restriction on drug seeking. We studied the effects of chronic food restriction during a period of abstinence on heroin seeking in rats. Results demonstrated an augmentation of heroin seeking in chronically food restricted rats with a history of heroin self-administration. Re-feeding prior to the drug seeking test or decreasing the length of the food restriction period prevented the augmentation of drug seeking. A combination of chronic food restriction and a concurrent state of hunger appear to be necessary for the augmentation of heroin seeking induced by food restriction. Previously, it was demonstrated that chronically food restricted rats display alterations in the mesolimbic dopamine system, a critical component of the reward system. Consequently, we assessed extracellular levels of dopamine in the nucleus accumbens, one of the major targets for mesolimbic dopamine neurons, during the drug seeking test, following chronic food restriction in abstinent rats with a history of heroin self-administration. Preliminary data indicate significantly higher levels of dopamine throughout the drug seeking test in the food restricted rats. Our findings suggest that food restriction-induced changes in dopamine release in the nucleus accumbens are associated with the augmentation of drug seeking in food restricted abstinent rats.

Abstract:
Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) therapies are a group of diverse medical and health systems, practices, and products not currently considered to be part of conventional medicine. These therapies have growing popularity and it is suggested that more than a third of patients with bipolar disorder (BD) use some form of CAM therapy. Although there are several forms of CAM therapies, including physical therapies, nutraceuticals, herbal remedies, and mindfulness-based interventions, reports in BD are few in number and often of poor quality. Sleep deprivation has the strongest evidence for benefit as an augmentation therapy in bipolar depression. There is promising evidence for other CAM therapies, including exercise, bright light therapy, omega-3 fatty acids, N-acetylcysteine, and the traditional Chinese medicine formulation, Free and Easy Wanderer Plus. However, limitations such as small number of studies, small sample sizes, few randomized investigations, and contradictory findings currently preclude definitive recommendations.

Abstract:
AbstractRecently self-supervised learning is gaining popularity for Graph Neural Networks (GNN) by leveraging unlabeled data. Augmentation plays a key role in self-supervision. While there is a common set of image augmentation methods that preserve image labels in general, graph augmentation methods do not guarantee consistent graph semantics and are usually domain dependent. Existing self-supervised GNN models often handpick a small set of augmentation techniques that limit the performance of the model.In this paper, we propose a common set of graph augmentation methods to a wide range of GNN tasks, and rely on the Pareto optimality to select and balance among these possibly conflicting augmented versions, called Pareto Graph Contrastive Learning (PGCL) framework. We show that while random selection of the same set of augmentation leads to slow convergence or even divergence, PGCL converges much faster with lower error rate. Extensive experiments on multiple datasets of different domains and scales demonstrate superior or comparable performance of PGCL.

Abstract:
The use of technology in the classroom was covered in depth by educational researchers all over the world, but as these technologies change at an unprecedented speed so do the modes of delivering teaching, thus making it a permanent topic of interest. This study aims at investigating the role of technology in assessing phonological skills in children with learning disabilities. Phonics instruction is often delivered using multimedia resources, but assessment commonly involves a reading / writing type of task or some sort of oral examination. For non-verbal students or for students who experience difficulty with fine motor skills such an evaluation tool is restrictive and it might not offer an accurate assessment of their skills. For some of them, like students with autistic spectrum disorders, learning technology might even act as a tool for augmentative or alternative communication, their only way of proving their understanding of the curriculum. To better understand whether the use of multimedia technology actually increases the accuracy of phonological skills assessment we propose a comparative study that investigates the results obtained by means of formal assessment tools and technology enhanced assessment tools. A number of 30 students attending "Constantin Paunescu" Special School were assessed using both standard tests (NEPSY II Phonological Processing subtest) and nonstandard tests (PAST - Phonological Awareness Skills Test), followed by teacher-made technology enhanced phonological assessment tools. The results suggest technology enhanced assessment tools promote a higher level of engagement with the learning task which, in turn, increases the accuracy of the assessment by simply keeping them focused and giving them alternative ways to complete tasks.

Abstract:
In recent years, it has become increasingly apparent that data is playing an ever more important role in companies and the need for IT (Information Technology) applications to support people in their activities is growing. The requirements for data-driven projects for the automation and augmentation of processes and tasks are significantly higher than for standard IT projects. An essential requirement is to learn from company data and to use it for new applications. The composition of the project team plays an essential role. It is necessary to recognize which roles and competences are required for the implementation of the project and to recognize how these may change during the project. In the following, due to the interdisciplinary nature of data science projects, new competences and roles for project execution will be identified and discussed. Possible risks that can arise from unstructured project planning and from role and competence planning will be identified. The differences compared to standard projects are highlighted and the challenges compared to them are examined. To support project planning, the use of tools can be helpful. The requirements a tool or method should fulfil in order to add value for a broad spectrum of enterprises are addressed. Exemplary criteria in this context are neutrality, branch independence and free availability of the method. In addition, the usability and areas of application of such tools are discussed.

Abstract:
The use of dimple-protrusions for internal cooling of rotating turbine blades has been investigated. A channel with dimple imprint diameter to channel height ratio (H/D = 1.0), dimple depth to channel height ratio (δ/H = 0.2), spanwise and streamwise pitch to channel height ratios (P/H = S/H = 1.62) was modeled. Four rotation numbers; Rob = 0.0, 0.15, 0.39, and 0.64, at nominal flow Reynolds number, ReH = 10000, were investigated to quantify the effect of Coriolis forces on the flow structure and heat transfer in the channel. Under the influence of rotation, the leading (protrusion) side of the channel showed weaker flow impingement, larger wakes and delayed flow reattachment with increasing rotation number. The trailing (dimple) side experienced a smaller recirculation region inside the dimple and stronger flow ejection from the dimple cavity with increasing rotation. Secondary flow structures in the cross-section played a major role in transporting momentum away from the trailing side at high rotation numbers and limiting heat transfer augmentation. While heat transfer augmentation on the trailing side increases by over 90% at Rob = 0.64, overall Nusselt number and friction coefficient augmentation ratios decrease from 2.5 to 2.05, and 5.74 to 4.78, respectively, as rotation increased from Rob = 0 to Rob = 0.64.

Integration of reproductive health service for men in health and family welfare centers in Bangladesh. Population Council, 2003. http://dx.doi.org/10.31899/rh2003.1002.

Abstract:
Over the last 30 years, Bangladesh’s national family planning (FP) program has mainly concentrated its promotional efforts on women’s adoption of FP. While the government policy has been effective in influencing women to accept contraceptive methods, men’s role in FP has been completely neglected. Similarly, male RH services are hardly available at Health and Family Welfare Centres (HFWCs). This report describes a project aimed at integrating male RH services within the existing government female-focused health-care-delivery system. The study was implemented by NIPORT in collaboration with the Directorate of Family Planning and the Population Council. Interventions resulted in a substantial rise of male clients in the clinics, however nearly all came for the treatment of general health problems. Only a small number of male RTI/STI clients sought services from the clinics. Although unexpected, there was a substantial rise in the number of female clients. The study concluded that RH services for men could be easily integrated into HFWCs without affecting the female and child focus of the clinics and that augmentation of the total number of patients at HFWCs will lead to more effective use of resources and decreased cost of treatment.
