Term
Definition
Aphasia   - an acquired language disorder - a loss of a degree of language ability Nue  
🗑
Four Elements of Aphasia   1. it is acquired 2. it has a neurological cause 3. it affects reception and expressive language across modalities 4. it is not a sensory, psychiatric, or intellectual disorder  
🗑
Cognitive-Linguistic Disorders   Cases in which a language problem is secondary to a cognitive problem  
🗑
Language of Confusion   transient confusional states  
🗑
Language of Generalized Intellectual Impairment   language problems resulting from dementia  
🗑
Specific Language Impairment   a condition characterized by language deficits in the face of relatively age-appropriate cognitive abilities in children  
🗑
Aphasiology   specialists in research and/or clinical practice in aphasia and are also experts in related neurogenic cognitive-linguistic, speech, and swallowing disorders in adults  
🗑
Incidence   the likely number of newly diagnosed cases per specified unit of time  
🗑
Prevalence   the proportion of specified populations that had or have the disorder at a particular time  
🗑
Neurological Causes of Aphasia   stroke, TBI, neoplasm, infections, metabolic problems, and surgical ablation of brain tissue  
🗑
Four Modalities of Language   auditory expression, written expression, verbal expression, reading comprehension  
🗑
Unidimensional Framework   - all language is seen as one inseparable whole - production and comprehension are not seen as separable components of language but rather interwoven  
🗑
Multidimensional Frameworks   - thee view that there are varied forms or syndromes of aphasia, each syndrome corresponding to the site of the lesion - any syndrome of aphasia may be characterized by a set of hallmark features - fluent vs. non-fluent aphasia  
🗑
Medical Framework   - multidimensional subcategory - the level of specific linguistic deficits - focus on analyzing the cause in terms of disease state or change in body structure  
🗑
Cognitive-Neuropsychological Framework   - based on models of mental representation and types and stages of information processing  
🗑
Psycholinguistic Frameworks   - focused on the processing of linguistic information  
🗑
Neurolinguistic Frameworks   - how processing may go awry when a person's brain is injured - incorporate connectionist models, models of neuroanatomical structures and functions  
🗑
WHO ICF   WHO International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health  
🗑
Biopsychosocial Framework   - highlights attention to complex interaction of multiple factors that constitute "disabilities" and affect health - WHO ICF  
🗑
Social Framework   - focused on interpersonal contexts of communication - social condition - highlights importance of SLP  
🗑
(2) Classifications of any Health Condition   - activity limitations - participation restrictions  
🗑
Functioning   - body structure - body function - activity and participation  
🗑
WHO ICF & People with Neurogenic Language Disorders   - represents a departure from traditional classification based on impairments of body structure and function  
🗑
Stroke   temporary or permanent disruption in blood supply to the brain  
🗑
Cerebrovascular Accident (CVA)   synonymous with stroke  
🗑
Occlusive Stroke   a blockage of all or a portion of an artery  
🗑
Hemorrhagic Stroke   leakage of blood from the arteries  
🗑
Ischemic Strokes   - type of occlusive - restriction in the blood supply  
🗑
Thrombotic Stroke   arterial blockage has accumulated in the same area of an artery where the blockage eventually occurs  
🗑
Embolic Stroke   a blockage caused by matter that travels from elsewhere in the bloodstream to the point where it eventually blocks an artery  
🗑
Thrombus   thee clot that blocks the artery in a thrombotic stroke  
🗑
Embolism   the arterial blockage in an embolic stroke  
🗑
Aneurysm   blood vessel ruptures or an arteriovenous malformation bursts  
🗑
Arteriovenous Malformation (AVM)   atypically developed artery or vein, usually arising during embryonic or fetal development  
🗑
Hematoma   the accumulation of blood due to a hemorrhage  
🗑
Intracerebral Hemorrhage   leakage occurs within the brain tissue  
🗑
Erosclerosis/Arteriosclereosis   - primary cause of ischemic strokes - buildup of lipids and cellular debris within the arteries  
🗑
Edema   swelling in the surrounding area of the brain  
🗑
Diaschisis   functions associated with brain structures that are remote from the area of damage become impaired  
🗑
Necrosis   neural tissue death  
🗑
Infarct/Infarction   area of dead tissue  
🗑
Ischemic Penumbra   margin neural tissue surrounding an infarct  
🗑
tPA   tissue plasminogen activator  
🗑
Hypoperfusion   an insufficiency in blood supply to the brain  
🗑
Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA)   - a temporary blockage of the blood supply to the brain - mini-stroke - most last under 30 m but can last up to 24 h  
🗑
Stroke Triggers   - excessive alchohol intake - infection - excessive eating - intense positive or negative emotions - sudden posture change - drug use - anesthesia - surgery - physical exertion - birthday  
🗑
BEFAST   balance problems, eye/vision problems, face drooping, arm weakness, speech difficulty, time to call 9-1-1  
🗑
Closed-head Injury (CHI)   - the head suddenly hits an object or an object hits the skull - skull remains intact - aka accel-decel injuries - can be transitional or rotational  
🗑
Transitional Injury/Direct Injury   the object-head contact is at a relatively perpendicular angle to one of the main axes of the head, causing the brain to rebound against the side of the skull opposite to the side of contact  
🗑
Coup Injuries   injuries to the brain at the point of contact  
🗑
Contrecoup Injuries   injuries to the opposite side of the brain from the point of contact  
🗑
Rotational Injuries   the contact of an object with the head creates more of a spinning motion of the head, causing the brain to rotate in relation to the skull and often hits many different areas  
🗑
Open-head Injury (OHI)   breakage or penetration of the skull  
🗑
Focul   confined to one area  
🗑
Diffuse   involving more than one areas of the brain  
🗑
Blast Injuries   result from rapid phases of over-and-under pressurization of air compared to normal atmospheric pressure  
🗑
Bacterial Infections and Viruses   microscopic organisms that may cause inflammation in the brain  
🗑
Encephalopathies   infections that affect the cortex  
🗑
Meningitis   inflammation of the meninges surrounding the brain  
🗑
Opportunist Infections/Secondary Infections   bacteria/viruses selectively take advantage of a compromised immune system  
🗑
Neoplasm   tumour in the brain  
🗑
Primary Tumours   result from uncontrolled growth of glial or meningeal cells  
🗑
Gliomas   glial cell tumours  
🗑
Astrocytoma   - common type of glial tumour - a benign, slow-growing tumour  
🗑
Glioblastoma Multiforme   - type of glial tumour - rapid growing and malignant  
🗑
Meningioma   - benign tumour that arises from the meninges  
🗑
Secondary/Metastatic Tumours   - spreading tumours that typically arise from elsewhere in the body and travel to the brain via the blood supply or lymphatic system  
🗑
Toxemia   the poisoning, irritation, or inflammation of nervous system tissue through exposure to harmful substances  
🗑
Toxic Encephalopathy   brain dysfunction related to metabolism at the cellular level  
🗑
Diabetes Mellitus (DM)   a chronic disorder of carbohydrate metabolism caused by abnormal insulin function or deficiency, resulting in poorly controlled blood sugar (glucose) levels  
🗑
Diabetic Encephalopathy   any type of brain disorder caused by diabetes  
🗑
Metabolic Syndrome   represents thee clustering of obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia, hyperlipidemia, & elevated blood sugar  
🗑
Neurodegenerative Disease   neurogenic condition that progressively gets worse over time  
🗑
Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI)   - a condition of cognitive decline that is not typical normal aging - often results from neurodegenerative disease and head injury  
🗑
Primary Progressive Aphasia (PPA)   - a neurogenerative dementia syndrome unlike other types of aphasia - onset is sudden and insidious; symptoms worsen over time - first symptoms are linguistic  
🗑
