UNASSIGNED: Peer interaction difficulties are often elevated amongst children with language disorders, yet the mechanisms underlying these difficulties are unclear. Previous research indicates that poor conflict management, social withdrawal, emotion regulation difficulties, and reduced prosocial behavior may contribute to peer interaction difficulties. However, this research often uses adult perspectives, failing to acknowledge child perceptions of these experiences. The present study aimed to qualitatively investigate perceptions of peer interactions from the perspective of children with language disorders.
UNASSIGNED: Seven participants aged between 7- and 10-years-old took part. All participants were diagnosed with a language disorder and had language as their primary area of difficulty. Participants were recruited from a specialist language school and via an online database. Semi-structured interviews were conducted, with participants given the choice to answer questions verbally or creatively, using toys or drawing materials. Interview transcripts were analyzed using interpretative phenomenological analysis.
UNASSIGNED: Participants valued play, conversation, and helping others. They felt that spending time with peers could alleviate loneliness. However, sometimes solitude was needed as social interaction could be overwhelming. Participants found conflict challenging and exhibited difficulties with regulating emotions. Participants relied on running away, retaliation, or asking an adult for help, to resolve conflict.
UNASSIGNED: The findings suggest that children with language disorders are socially motivated and have relative strengths in displaying prosocial behavior. However, children with language disorders require support to promote positive relationships. This support includes help with making deeper connections with peers, opportunities to spend time alone when needed, and providing adept conflict resolution and emotion regulation strategies.

UNASSIGNED: People with language difficulties cannot face challenges related to social skills. Those language disorders affect academic, work environments, and social interaction, leading to maladaptive and aggressive behaviors. Young inmates are at high risk of experiencing unrecognized language deficiencies. It is, therefore, necessary to analyze linguistic pathologies that can influence criminal behavior (drugs possession/consumption and gender violence crimes). There are many standardized tests to evaluate and detect language difficulties in adults in English. However, there are relatively few options in Spanish; there are no tests that evaluate language qualitatively and in depth. Most of the research is conducted with children and adolescents.
UNASSIGNED: To propose a reliable coding system for the correction and interpretation of narratives (essays and narratives) from the Battery for the Evaluation of Writing Processes (PROESC) in the prisoners charged of drugs possession or consumption and gender violence crimes.
UNASSIGNED: The sample was composed of 287 men.
UNASSIGNED: They completed the Demographic, Offense, and Behavioral Interview in Institutions, the International Personality Disorders Examination (IPDE), and PROESC.
UNASSIGNED: We found that the proposed coding system presented high concordance, that is, high inter-rater reliability.
UNASSIGNED: The classification system for the correction and interpretation of narratives was shown to be reliable.

Theories of bilingual language production predict that bilinguals with Alzheimer\'s disease (AD) should exhibit one of two decline patterns. Either parallel decline of both languages (if decline reflects damage to semantic representations that are accessed by both languages), or asymmetrical decline, with greater decline of the nondominant language (if decline reflects reduced ability to resolve competition from the dominant language with disease progression). Only two previous studies examined decline longitudinally with one showing parallel, and the other asymmetrical, decline. We examined decline over 2-7 years (3.9 on average) in Spanish-English bilinguals (N = 23). Logistic regression revealed a parallel decline pattern at one year from baseline, but an asymmetrical decline pattern over the longer decline period, with greater decline of the nondominant language (when calculating predicted probabilities of a correct response). The asymmetrical decline pattern was significantly greater for the nondominant language only when including item-difficulty in the model. Exploratory analyses across dominance groups looking at proportional decline relative to initial naming accuracy further suggested that decline of the nondominant language may be more precipitous if that language was acquired later in life, but the critical interaction needed to support this possibility was not statistically significant in a logistic regression analysis. These results suggest that accessibility of the nondominant language may initially be more resilient in early versus more advanced AD, and that AD affects shared semantic representations before executive control declines to a point where the ability to name pictures in single-language testing block is disrupted. Additional work is needed to determine if asymmetrical decline patterns are magnified by late age of acquisition of the nondominant language, and if more subtle impairments to executive control underlie impairments to language switching that occur in the earliest stages of AD (even preclinically).

To investigate how language deteriorates over the Alzheimer\'s Disease course.
A cross-sectional, observational study was carried out. 35 patients diagnosed with dementia due to AD using the NINCDS-ARDRA criteria and undergoing treatment for AD with a therapeutic dose of acetylcholinesterase inhibitors were assessed by the Boston Diagnostic Aphasia Examination (BDAE). The sample comprised 15 patients with mild AD (MMSE > 23, CDR = 0 or 0.5‒1.0) and 20 patients with moderate AD (MMSE = 13‒23, CDR = 2). The results for the 2 groups on all language tasks were compared.
A statistically significant difference was found between the mild and moderate AD groups for total score on the BDAE (95% CI 47.10‒114.08, t = 5.0, DF = 21, p = 0.000*), as well as on several tasks involving oral and writing comprehension, language oral expression and writing.
The study results showed major changes in the moderate stage. Also, the decline in language performance correlated with the worsening of dementia syndrome, independently of sociodemographic variables.

UNASSIGNED: The escalating prevalence of personification abuse in language disorders among students poses a substantial challenge for autistic students in the domain of language disorders. While prior research has mainly focused on the cognitive hurdles faced by autistic students, ongoing debates persist about the onset, severity, and roots of these challenges in their classroom behavior, with limited exploration of how preconceived notions impact personification abuse. This study aims to delve into emotional treatments for language disorders, specifically targeting personification abuse, to facilitate the shift from distorted perceptions to normative expression. It seeks to pinpoint the primary emotional interventions linked to instances of personification abuse and scrutinize the emotional factors influencing therapeutic approaches for language disorders.
UNASSIGNED: The research encompassed a cohort of 110 autistic students, aged 2 to 5 years, diagnosed with language disorders, all clinically determined to have autism by developmental pediatricians at a prestigious medical facility. Among these children, 95 were attending specialized schools, while 15 were situated in community settings.
UNASSIGNED: The outcomes disclosed that children across all developmental phases displayed instances of personification abuse in language disorders, showcasing noteworthy enhancements in personification abuse following emotional treatment. Significantly, the discernible disparity in personification abuse performance and emotional treatment can be linked to the simultaneous cognitive advancement of autistic students across four grade levels, with variations noted based on normative expressions.
UNASSIGNED: These findings underscore the insufficiency of solely relying on intrinsic trends to comprehend personification abuse within an emotional treatment context. The study accentuates the potential pitfalls associated with emotional treatment for language disorders and stresses the imperative need for additional research and psychiatric intervention strategies.

BACKGROUND: Patients with classic-onset corticobasal syndrome (CBS) present with asymmetric limb apraxia and parkinsonism. We have, however, observed patients who initially present with speech and/or language (SL) problems and several years later develop CBS (i.e., SL-onset CBS). We aimed to compare clinical, neuroimaging and pathological characteristics of classic-onset CBS with SL-onset CBS.
METHODS: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of 62 patients who met criteria for CBS (17 presented with classic-onset CBS and 45 had SL-onset CBS). We compared demographics, clinical characteristics, and grey and white matter volume loss with SPM12 between groups and assessed pathology and corticobasal degeneration (CBD) pathological lesion counts in patients who had died and undergone autopsy.
RESULTS: Median age at CBS diagnosis was 66.4 years in classic-onset CBS and 73.6 years in SL-onset CBS. Classic-onset CBS had higher frequencies of dystonia, myoclonus, and alien limb phenomenon, while SL-onset CBS had a higher frequency of vertical supranuclear gaze palsy. Both groups showed smaller frontoparietal volumes than controls, with SL-onset CBS having greater volume loss in the left supplementary motor area than classic-onset CBS. All three classic-onset CBS cases with autopsy (100 %) had CBD pathology while 8/21 of SL-onset CBS cases (38 %) had CBD. Pathological lesion burden (including astrocytic plaques) did not differ between classic-onset and SL-onset CBS.
CONCLUSIONS: Classic-onset and SL-onset CBS appear to be different syndromes, with the former being a more profuse motor syndrome. The more widespread volume loss in SL-onset CBS likely reflects longer disease course.

To evaluate the association between antibiotic use during pregnancy or early infancy and the risk of neurodevelopmental disorders in children.
Nationwide population based cohort study and sibling analysis.
Korea\'s National Health Insurance Service mother-child linked database, 2008-21.
All children live born between 2009 and 2020, followed up until 2021 to compare those with and without antibiotic exposure during pregnancy or early infancy (first six months of life).
Autism spectrum disorder, intellectual disorder, language disorder, and epilepsy in children. After 1:1 propensity score matching based on many potential confounders, hazard ratios with 95% confidence interval were estimated using Cox proportional hazard models. A sibling analysis additionally accounted for unmeasured familial factors.
After propensity score matching, 1 961 744 children were identified for the pregnancy analysis and 1 609 774 children were identified for the early infancy analysis. Although antibiotic exposure during pregnancy was associated with increased risks of all four neurodevelopmental disorders in the overall cohort, these estimates were attenuated towards the null in the sibling analyses (hazard ratio for autism spectrum disorder 1.06, 95% confidence interval 1.01 to 1.12; intellectual disorder 1.00, 0.93 to 1.07; language disorder 1.05, 1.02 to 1.09; and epilepsy 1.03, 0.98 to 1.08). Likewise, no association was observed between antibiotic exposure during early infancy and autism spectrum disorder (hazard ratio 1.00, 0.96 to 1.03), intellectual disorder (1.07, 0.98 to 1.15), and language disorder (1.04, 1.00 to 1.08) in the sibling analyses; however, a small increased risk of epilepsy was observed (1.13, 1.09 to 1.18). The results generally remained consistent across several subgroup and sensitivity analyses, except for slightly elevated risks observed among children who used antibiotics during very early life and those who used antibiotics for more than 15 days.
In this large cohort study, antibiotic exposure during pregnancy or early infancy was not associated with an increased risk of autism spectrum disorder, intellectual disorder, or language disorder in children. However, elevated risks were observed in several subgroups such as children using antibiotics during very early life and those with long term antibiotic use, which warrants attention and further investigation. Moreover, antibiotic use during infancy was modestly associated with epilepsy, even after control for indications and familial factors. When prescribing antibiotics to pregnant women and infants, clinicians should carefully balance the benefits of use against potential risks.

BACKGROUND: This study aims to thoroughly study the connection between congenital heart disease (CHD) and neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) through observational and Mendelian randomization (MR) designs.
METHODS: This observational study uses data from the National Survey of Children\'s Health (2020-2021). Multivariable logistic regression and propensity score matching (PSM) were performed to analyze the association. PSM was used to minimize bias for covariates such as age, race, gender, maternal age, birth weight, concussion or brain injury, preterm birth, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, and other inherited conditions. In MR analyses, inverse variance-weighted measures, weighted median, and MR-Egger were employed to calculate causal effects.
RESULTS: A total of 85,314 children aged 0-17 were analyzed in this study. In regression analysis, CHD (p = 0.04), the current heart condition (p = 0.03), and the severity of current heart condition (p < 0.05) had a suggestive association with speech or language disorders. The severity of current heart condition (p = 0.08) has a potential statistically significant association with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder(ADHD). In PSM samples, ADHD(p = 0.003), intellectual disability(p = 0.012), and speech or language disorders(p < 0.001) were all significantly associated with CHD. The severity of current heart condition (p < 0.001) also had a significant association with autism. MR analysis did not find causality between genetically proxied congenital cardiac malformations and the risk of NDDs.
CONCLUSIONS: Our study shows that children with CHD have an increased risk of developing NDDs. Heart conditions currently and severity of current heart conditions were also significantly associated with these NDDs. In the future, we need to try more methods to clarify the causal relationship between CHD and NDDs.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to explore the relation of language functional MRI (fMRI)-guided tractography with postsurgical naming decline in people with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE).
METHODS: Twenty patients with unilateral TLE (9 left) were studied with auditory and picture naming functional MRI tasks. Activation maxima in the left posterobasal temporal lobe were used as seed regions for whole-brain fibre tractography. Clinical naming performance was assessed preoperatively, 4 months, and 12 months following temporal lobe resection. Volumes of white matter language tracts in both hemispheres as well as tract volume laterality indices were explored as moderators of postoperative naming decline using Pearson correlations and multiple linear regression with other clinical variables.
RESULTS: Larger volumes of white matter language tracts derived from auditory and picture naming maxima in the hemisphere of subsequent surgery as well as stronger lateralization of picture naming tract volumes to the side of surgery correlated with greater language decline, which was independent of fMRI lateralization status. Multiple regression for picture naming tract volumes was associated with a significant decline of naming function with 100% sensitivity and 93% specificity at both short-term and long-term follow-up.
CONCLUSIONS: Naming fMRI-guided white matter language tract volumes relate to postoperative naming decline after temporal lobe resection in people with TLE. This can assist stratification of surgical outcome and minimize risk of postoperative language deficits in TLE.
