Methods： The lateral cephalogram and speech intelligibility were detected in 19 cases with the operations of repairing defects of maxilla and palate by temporalis muscle flap, and their recovery of the speech function were analyzed. Results： Among the 19 patients, there were 15 cases （78.00%） with complete velopharynx, 3 cases （15.80%） with mafiginal velopharynx, and 1 case （5.26%） with insufficient velopharynx. The average speech intelligibility was 94.3%, close to the normal speech intelligibility. Conclusion： The operation of repairing defects of maxilla and palate with temporalis muscle flap can reconstruct the phonatory structure, preserve the palate function and restore the speech function after operation.展开更多

The significances of successful realizations of interpersonal function to the role characterization, plot development and thematic construction in the film are also demonstrated, thus deepening the understanding and appreciation of the film.展开更多

As a result of sensorineural hearing loss, these individuals are likely to experience difficulties in the area of speech and language. While studies in the past have examined the speech and language characteristics of children with syndromic sensorineural hearing loss, to our knowledge there are no previous studies to have documented the speech and language characteristics of these children on a long-term basis. The current study addresses this limitation by reporting speech, language, hearing, and function of twin brothers with X-linked Alport syndrome across a seven-year period.Information was collected by examining the medical records of the participants as well as through a verbal interview with the participants' guardian. Results revealed that the participants' hearing abilities gradually deteriorated over the seven-year period which affected their speech and language development as well. The kidney function tests revealed significant presence of hematuria(blood in the urine) as well as proteinuria(protein in the urine) suggesting chronic kidney dysfunction. This longitudinal study demonstrates the functional relationship between the kidneys and the cochlea, although they appear to be independent of one another. As individuals with Alport syndrome exhibit systemic complications, interdisciplinary collaboration is essential among health care providers including audiologists, speech-language pathologists,nephrologists, and ophthalmologist to promote evidence-based practice.展开更多

Because of its poor prognosis and high disability rate, it poses a huge burden on the global economy, societies, and families. This article reports rehabilitation in a patient with pituitary dysfunction combined with extramedullary myelinolysis.CASE SUMMARY A 27-year-old Chinese man developed anorexia, vomiting, and limb weakness and was diagnosed with pituitary insufficiency. He had low serum sodium, slow movement, muscle weakness, and muscle tone abnormalities after sodium supplementation, involuntary limb shaking, ataxia, and dysarthria. According to the symptoms and signs and imaging reports, he was diagnosed with extramedullary myelinolysis. After treatment with hormone therapy and neurotrophic drugs, motor and speech function did not improve, so he was treated in the rehabilitation department for 4 wk. The patient's physical status was improved substantially during his stay at the rehabilitation department.CONCLUSION Patients with extramedullary myelinolysis who actively participate in rehabilitation intervention can significantly improve their activities of daily living.展开更多
