3664. Pharmacological treatment for aphasia following stroke. (Abstract)
Pharmacological treatment for aphasia following stroke. Aphasia describes language impairment associated with a brain lesion.The objective of this review was to assess the effects of drugs on language abilities when given to people with aphasia following stroke.We searched the Cochrane Stroke Group Register (last searched: May 2001), and reference lists of relevant articles to December 1998. We also contacted academic institutions and other researchers to identify further published (...) concerns that there may be an increased risk of death from taking piracetam. We could not determine if drug treatment is more effective than speech and language therapy. We could not determine whether one drug is more effective than another.The main conclusion of this review is that drug treatment with piracetam may be effective in the treatment of aphasia after stroke. Further research is needed to explore the effects of drugs for aphasia, in particular piracetam. If a trial is done, this must

3669. Treatment for lexical retrieval in progressive aphasia Full Text available with Trip Pro
Treatment for lexical retrieval in progressive aphasia BACKGROUND: Treatment for lexical retrieval impairment has been shown to yield positive outcomes in individuals with aphasia due to focal lesions, but there has been little research regarding the treatment of such impairments in individuals with progressive aphasia. AIMS: The purpose of this study was to examine the therapeutic effects of a semantic treatment for anomia in progressive aphasia relative to the outcome in an individual (...) with stroke-induced aphasia. METHODS #ENTITYSTARTX00026; PROCEDURES: Two individuals with progressive aphasia and one with aphasia resulting from stroke participated in the study. Each participant presented with fluent, anomic aphasia; however, one of the patients with progressive aphasia demonstrated characteristics indicating a likely progression towards non-fluency. Each participant received a brief, intensive treatment intended to improve lexical retrieval in the context of generative naming

Neuropsychiatric Symptoms in Behavioral Variant Frontotemporal Dementia and Primary Progressive Aphasia Neuropsychiatric symptoms are well defined in behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia but are not as well studied in primary progressive aphasia. This study compared caregiver reported neuropsychiatric symptoms in these 2 forms of dementia at short and long disease duration. Patients with behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia had more symptoms than patients with primary progressive (...) aphasia. However, when divided by duration of disease, patients with primary progressive aphasia with long duration had a similar number of symptoms to patients with behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia at either duration. Furthermore, this group of patients with primary progressive aphasia had more symptoms typical of behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia and less mood-related symptoms which were more common in patients with primary progressive aphasia with shorter duration.

3673. Long-term antidepressant treatment with moclobemide for aphasia in acute stroke patients: a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. (Abstract)
Long-term antidepressant treatment with moclobemide for aphasia in acute stroke patients: a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. Pharmacotherapy aimed at stroke rehabilitation through direct central nervous effects may be assumed to work in a similar way for language recovery and sensory-motor recovery. Some data suggest that antidepressant drugs could be beneficial also for functional improvement. This prompted us to investigate whether regression from aphasia after acute stroke (...) could be enhanced by antidepressive drug therapy.We randomised 90 acute stroke patients with aphasia to either 600 mg moclobemide or placebo daily for 6 months, within 3 weeks of the onset of stroke. Aphasia was assessed prior to treatment and at 6 months, using Reinvang's 'Grunntest for afasi' and the Amsterdam-Nijmegen-Everyday-Language-Test (ANELT).The degree of aphasia decreased significantly at 6 months, with no difference between the moclobemide- and the placebo-treated groups.

3674. Evolution of phonemic word fluency performance in post-stroke aphasia. (Abstract)
Evolution of phonemic word fluency performance in post-stroke aphasia. In this longitudinal study, quantitative and qualitative changes in responses of people with aphasia were examined on a phonemic fluency task. Eighteen patients were tested at 3-month intervals on the letters F-A-S while they received comprehensive, intensive treatment from 3 to 12 months post-stroke. They returned for a follow-up evaluation at an average of 10 months post-intervention. Mean group scores improved (...) since onset and the linguistic and cognitive stimulation that patients received in therapy.Readers of this paper should (1) gain a better understanding of verbal fluency performance in the assessment of aphasia, (2) recognize the importance of analyzing qualitative aspects of single word production in aphasia, and (3) contribute to their clinical judgment of long term improvement in aphasia.

3675. Inference revision processing in adults with and without aphasia. (Abstract)
Inference revision processing in adults with and without aphasia. Processing abilities in aphasia, and the nature of processing breakdowns, were the focuses of this investigation. Individuals with either fluent or nonfluent aphasia, plus a control group, participated in a cross-modal lexical priming task designed to elicit priming effects when activation of inference interpretations occurred. Comprehension of inferences was measured by responses to four types of questions that related (...) to the inferences. Results indicated that both the control group, as well as the nonfluent aphasia group, activated the intended meaning of the stimuli whereas the fluent aphasics did not. Comprehension of the inferences was best demonstrated by control participants, nonfluent aphasic participants, and fluent aphasic participants, in that order.

Mapping therapy for sentence production impairments in nonfluent aphasia. This study investigated a new treatment in which sentence production abilities were trained in a small group of individuals and nonfluent aphasia. It was based upon a mapping therapy approach which holds that sentence production and comprehension impairments are due to difficulties in mapping between the meaning form (thematic roles) and the syntactic form of sentences. We trained production of both canonical

3677. A randomized, double-blind trial of bromocriptine efficacy in nonfluent aphasia after stroke. (Abstract)
A randomized, double-blind trial of bromocriptine efficacy in nonfluent aphasia after stroke. The authors assessed the efficacy of bromocriptine in nonfluent aphasia after stroke in a 16-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial conducted from June 2002 to April 2004. In all 38 patients after 4 months of treatment, improvement in both the bromocriptine and placebo treatment groups was observed (p < 0.001). The analysis of repeated-measures analysis of variance revealed (...) bromocriptine did not improve nonfluent aphasia.
