Summary: Speech pathologists face challenges in prognosticating aphasia, with shared but unvoiced difficulties. Realistic conversations about aphasia recovery, focusing on holistic approaches and the power of words, may enhance prognosis outcomes. Future research should explore the preferences of individuals with aphasia and their caregivers for improved therapeutic potential.

Summary: This study established an internationally agreed aphasia after stroke research database that includes data from 5928 participants from 28 countries. The data mainly cover information on aphasia severity, naming, auditory comprehension, functional communication, reading, writing, as well as detailed descriptions of speech and language therapy interventions.

Summary: The aim of this study was to optimize speech and language therapy (SLT) regimens for maximal aphasia recovery. The analysis of data from 959 participants revealed that frequent, functionally tailored, receptive-expressive SLT, with prescribed home practice at a higher intensity and duration, were associated with the greatest language recovery.

Summary: This study found that post-treatment communication-related quality of life was associated with residual tumor, edema, and peri-resection treatment effects as well as white matter disconnection. However, mood-related quality of life and the primary resection lesion maps were not significantly associated with HRQoL.

Summary: This exploratory research examined the usability and feasibility of a purpose-built music listening mobile application for people living with post-stroke aphasia in the community. The study found that the application was perceived as being usable and feasible, with high system usability rating and moderate effectiveness, efficiency, and satisfaction. This study provides a foundation for further examination of the usability of music listening technology in people with post-stroke aphasia and potential applications in acute care facilities and other clinical populations.

Summary: The aim of this study was to establish consensus on a communication OMI for inclusion in the ROMA COS, and it was found that TST is the preferred choice. Implementation of the ROMA COS would improve the quality, relevance, transparency, replicability, and efficiency of aphasia treatment research.

Summary: This study examined the impact of overnight sleep on associative novel word learning and found that overnight sleep can enhance the consolidation of novel words. Whether semantic information was provided or not, new words benefited from the overnight sleep period.

Summary: Poststroke aphasia, caused by left-lateralized language network damage, is often accompanied by uncertainty in the contribution of the right hemisphere's homologues to aphasia recovery. In this study, the role of the right hemisphere's structural connectome in aphasia recovery was investigated. The results showed that certain pathways in the right hemisphere white matter made a maladaptive contribution to language recovery, while others supported the recovery of language comprehension abilities.

Summary: The aim of this study was to identify and evaluate high-quality stroke guidelines that can inform aphasia management. We identified 9 high-quality guidelines and extracted 82 recommendations for aphasia management. Most recommendations were aphasia-related, but there were gaps in aphasia-specific recommendations in the areas of accessing community supports, return to work and leisure, driving, and interprofessional practice.

Summary: This study explored the relationship between early within-therapy probe naming performance and treatment outcomes in individuals with aphasia. Results showed that early within-therapy probe naming performance was the strongest predictor of therapy gains for anomia, both immediately after therapy and at 1-month follow-up. These findings have important clinical implications and suggest that early probe naming performance can be used to identify potential response to treatment for aphasia.
