Summary: This study classified aphasia severity using Western Aphasia Battery and identified optimal cut-off values for Language-Related White Matter fibers. Correlations were found between certain white matter tracts and Western Aphasia Battery subscores, indicating potential for predicting language impairment severity in post-stroke aphasia patients using diffusion tensor imaging-based analysis.

Summary: Aphasia is a common and serious clinical feature of stroke, and neural tracts play an important role in the recovery mechanisms. Although there have been studies on the recovery mechanisms of aphasia in stroke, there are still many factors that have not been elucidated, and further research is needed to explore them.

Summary: This study investigates the correlation between the segments of the left arcuate fasciculus (AF) and acute/subacute post-stroke aphasia (PSA). Language assessment and MRI scanning were conducted on 26 patients. The results show significant correlations between the lesion load of the language areas and diffusion indices on the left AF posterior and long segments with certain language subsets. The integrity of the left AF segments, particularly the posterior segment, is crucial for residual comprehension and repetition abilities in individuals with acute/subacute PSA.

Summary: A patient's arcuate fasciculus and corticobulbar tract recovered following an infarct in the middle cerebral artery territory, as shown on serial diffusion tensor tractography. Initially, the patient exhibited moderate conduction aphasia, but there was improvement at 10 months. The results suggest a potential recovery mechanism for these tracts in stroke patients.

Summary: This study investigates the temporal changes in the integrity of the arcuate fasciculus (AF) and its relationship with post-stroke aphasia recovery. The results show that during the subacute stage, the integrity of AF decreases in both hemispheres in patients with aphasia, and the change in structural connectivity of the left AF is associated with language improvement.

Summary: Behavioral communication treatment is supported as the standard of care for aphasia. The lack of a common framework to describe individual treatments hinders progress in the field. The Rehabilitation Treatment Specification System (RTSS) provides a systematic way to characterize aphasia treatment approaches, improving communication and facilitating comparisons.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the effects of distant cortical structures on aphasia outcomes in patients with chronic left subcortical stroke and examine the correlation between cortical thickness measures and connecting tracts integrity. The findings suggest that cortical thickness in different parts of the left fronto-temporo-parietal regions is positively related to language performance, and cortical thinning in these regions may relate to integrity loss of fiber tracts connected to stroke lesions.

Summary: The study found that in post-stroke aphasia (PSA) patients, fractional anisotropy (FA) values of certain white matter fibers were decreased in the left hemisphere while only certain fibers were affected in the right hemisphere. Additionally, despite the important role of DTI in diagnosing PSA, challenges remain in independently diagnosing and differentiating the condition due to a lack of relevant language scales and clinical manifestations.

Summary: Previous studies have shown that white matter damage is related to the severity of aphasia, but further research is needed to understand the relationship between white matter integrity and treatment response. In this study, it was found that the diffusion measures of the left inferior longitudinal fasciculus were related to aphasia severity and treatment response, with microstructural changes observed following treatment.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the microstructural indices of the right arcuate fasciculus (AF) before LF-rTMS treatment and further correlate with language improvement after the treatment. The results showed significant correlations between pre-treatment microstructural indices of the right AF and expression and comprehension abilities in the LF-rTMS group. Therefore, the microstructural characteristics of the right AF can be used to predict the effectiveness of LF-rTMS in language recovery.

Summary: Zhao et al. used in vivo structural and functional connectivity to predict various cognitive functions in patients with aphasia. While both types of connectivity can predict these functions, they do not provide additional information beyond the model using lesion information. The results suggest that network-level disorder predicted by lesion alone is sufficient in explaining language impairment.

Summary: This study investigated the therapeutic benefits of Constraint-Induced Aphasia Therapy Plus (CIAT-plus) and/or Multimodality Aphasia Therapy (M-MAT) compared to usual community care for post-stroke aphasia patients. Both CIAT-Plus and M-MAT showed significant improvements in word retrieval, functional communication, and quality of life, while the usual care group did not. Further research should explore predictive characteristics of responders and impacts of maintenance doses.

The study found that after 12 months of therapy, both drugs were able to restore NAA levels and showed correlation with UPDRS-III scores. This is the first longitudinal study providing evidence for the use of H-1-MRS to objectively evaluate the effects of MAO-B inhibitors on PD patients.

Summary: This study aimed to demonstrate the effectiveness of animal-assisted therapy on children with dyslexia by improving self-esteem and school performance. The results showed significant improvement in reading and writing abilities in the experimental group using animal-assisted therapy, while there was no significant change in self-esteem in the control group. Thus, animal-assisted therapy is a viable and effective option for enhancing the rehabilitation process and improving cognitive and language skills recovery in dyslexic children.

Summary: Emotional experiences can influence how individuals perceive their own body image. This study examines the correlation between mood disorders and lesion sites on body image in patients with acquired brain injury. The results show a moderate correlation between depression/anxiety and body image, with the right lesion site being a predictive factor. Additionally, factors such as anxiety, cognitive functioning, and marital status were found to be significant predictors of body image. The findings highlight the importance of neuropsychological interventions to improve cognitive performance and emotional well-being in patients with brain injury for a better self-perception of body image and quality of life.

Summary: Robotic rehabilitation is an advanced treatment for stroke patients, and this review aims to assess the neurofunctional correlates of cutting-edge robotic therapies in enhancing motor recovery. The review suggests that neural plasticity within specific areas of the brain is more sensitive to compensation strategies in motor recovery, despite the heterogeneity in robotic devices and clinical status. However, more research is needed to understand the neurobiological differences between robotic and traditional rehabilitation approaches.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of endovascular treatment (EVT) in primary and EVT-induced secondary medium-vessel occlusions (MeVO). The results showed that primary MeVO had poorer outcomes in terms of complications, EVT efficacy, and the proportion of patients with a modified Rankin Scale (mRS) of 0-2 at 3 months compared to exclusive large-vessel occlusion (LVO). However, EVT-induced secondary MeVO showed similar safety and efficacy outcomes as exclusive LVO and had better outcomes in terms of mRS 0-2 compared to primary MeVO.

The study found that rural counties had significantly longer travel distances and times compared to urban counties. Counties with high and medium stroke prevalence also had higher travel times and distances compared to low stroke prevalence counties. Therefore, addressing transportation barriers and implementing tele-rehabilitation are crucial for improving access to stroke aftercare in these areas.
