Testing for nominal dysphasia.

Testing for nominal dysphasia.

In this paper we have described the construction of a graded naming test that makes the distinction between object and proper names. This distinction was prompted by a single case study of a patient who showed a specific naming impairment for a particular class of proper names. Naming vocabulary was found to be highly correlated with other measures of verbal intelligence and we have discussed t...

Reversible Dysphasia and Statins

This paper presents a case of reversible dysphasia occurring in a patient prescribed atorvastatin in combination with indapamide. A milder dysphasia recurred with the prescription of rosuvastatin and was documented on clinical examination. This resolved following cessation of rosuvastatin. The case highlights both a need for a wider understanding of potential drug interactions through the CYP 4...

A Semantic Network Dictionary for Dysphasia Therapy

With the use of computer-assisted teaching and learning programs the speech therapy of children with dysphasia can be planned more effectively, than with the traditional, so-called prompted-image method employed by logopaedists. Our aim is the creation of a semantic network dictionary – on the basis of a huge quantity empirical database –, which predicts what other concepts will link to a conce...

Airplane Ground Vibration Testing – Nominal Modal Model Correlation

SOUND AND VIBRATION/NOVEMBER 2002 A brief overview is given of transport airplane ground vibration testing (GVT) at Boeing Commercial Airplane Group. A GVT is a modal test conducted for the purpose of validating and improving a structural dynamic model of the airplane. A “small signal” model is quickly and conveniently identified from multi-input burst random excitation. Sine excitation is used...
