This signaling process facilitates communication between two types of cells within the walls of blood vessels , endothelial cells and smooth muscle cells. Communication between these two cell types is necessary to direct angiogenesis and ensure the structure and integrity of blood vessels. ... An overactive TEK receptor is thought to disrupt the communication between endothelial cells and smooth muscle cells. It is unclear how a lack of communication between these cells causes venous malformations.
A number sign (#) is used with this entry because of evidence that multiple cutaneous and mucosal venous malformations can be caused by heterozygous mutation in the TEK (TIE2) gene (600221), which encodes the epithelial-specific tyrosine kinase receptor, on chromosome 9p21. Description Cutaneomucosal venous malformation (VMCM) is an uncommon, heritable form of venous malformation in which lesions tend to be multifocal and small. They are comprised of grossly dilated vascular spaces lined by a single continuous layer of endothelial cells, with areas of relative lack of surrounding mural cells, suggesting a defect in their recruitment. Some VMCM patients have venous malformations located in internal organs, and some have additional anomalies, including cardiac malformations (summary by Wouters et al., 2010). Another form of autosomal dominant venous malformation, blue rubber bleb nevus (112200), is of uncertain relationship to VMCM.
Mucocutaneous venous malformations (VMCMs) are hereditary vascular malformations characterized by the presence of small, multifocal, bluish-purple venous lesions involving the skin and mucosa. Epidemiology Prevalence is unknown but around 20 families have been identified so far. Clinical description The multifocal venous lesions are usually small (< 2cm in diameter), and are present at birth. They are soft and usually compressible and undergo proportionate growth with age. There is significant clinical variation with respect to the size, location and number of lesions, even between affected individuals from the same family.
Summary Clinical characteristics. The condition multiple cutaneous and mucosal venous malformations (VMCM) is characterized by the presence of small, multifocal bluish cutaneous and/or mucosal venous malformations. They are usually present at birth. New lesions appear with time. Small lesions are usually asymptomatic; larger lesions can invade subcutaneous muscle and cause pain. Malignant transformation has not been reported. Diagnosis/testing. The diagnosis of VMCM is established in a proband with small, multifocal cutaneous and/or mucosal bluish-purple vascular malformations with slow blood flow on Doppler ultrasound AND/OR by the identification of a heterozygous gain-of-abnormal-function pathogenic variant in TEK by molecular genetic testing. Management. Treatment of manifestations: Sclerotherapy, alone or in combination with plastic and reconstructive surgery, is used depending on the size and location of the lesions. Low molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) should be administered prior to any invasive procedure.
Tangential speech or tangentiality is a communication disorder in which the train of thought of the speaker wanders and shows a lack of focus, never returning to the initial topic of the conversation. [1] It tends to occur in situations where a person is experiencing high anxiety, as a manifestation of the psychosis known as schizophrenia , in dementia or in states of delirium . [2] It is less severe than logorrhea and may be associated with the middle stage in dementia . [1] It is, however, more severe than circumstantial speech in which the speaker wanders, but eventually returns to the topic. [3] Some adults with right hemisphere brain damage may exhibit behavior that includes tangential speech. [4] Those who exhibit these behaviors may also have related symptoms such as seemingly inappropriate or self-centered social responses, and a deterioration in pragmatic abilities (including appropriate eye contact as well as topic maintenance). [5] Contents 1 Definition 2 History 3 Other 4 See also 5 References Definition [ edit ] The term refers simplistically to a thought disorder shown from speech with a lack of observance to the main subject of discourse, such that a person whilst speaking on a topic deviates from the topic. Further definition is of speech that deviates from an answer to a question that is relevant in the first instance but deviates from the relevancy to related subjects not involved in a direct answering of the question. [6] [7] [8] In the context of a conversation or discussion the communication is a response that is ineffective in that the form is inappropriate for adequate understanding. [9] The person's speech seems to indicate that their attention to their own speech has perhaps in some way been overcome during the occurrence of cognition whilst speaking, causing the vocalized content to follow thought that is apparently without reference to the original idea or question; or the person's speech is considered evasive in that the person has decided to provide an answer to a question that is an avoidance of a direct answer. [2] History [ edit ] The earlier phenomenological description (Schneider 1930; et al. ) allowed for further definition on the basis of formal characteristic rather than content, producing later practice relying upon clinical assessment (Andreasen 1979). [10] The term has undergone a re-definition to refer only to a persons speech in response to a question, and to provide the definition separation from the similar symptoms loosening of association and derailment (Andreasen 1979). [6] [11] Other [ edit ] According to the St. Louis system for the diagnosis of schizophrenia, [12] tangentiality is significantly associated with a low IQ prior to diagnosis (AU Parnas et al 2007).

Asemia is caused by damage to the areas of the brain that process communication – more specifically, when there is damage to the left side of the brain in the areas that process communication such as Broca 's and Wernicke's areas . ... People who have asemia have the inability to comprehend signs, symbols, and even language. [2] They also have the inability to use signs, symbols, and language. [2] People with asemia sometimes may take up asemic writing , which is "wordless" writing. [3] What wordless writing could mean is that the writing looks like regular or traditional writing, but there is no content that makes sense. [3] The concept of syntax, semantics, or even communication does not exist in asemic writing. [3] Causes [ edit ] The most common cause of asemia is brain damage, such as a stroke or a brain tumor. [4] Other possible causes include Alzheimer's disease and infection. [4] Roger Wolcott Sperry , through his research of split-brain patients , had found out that the human brain lateralizes functions, meaning that the two hemispheres of the brain have different functions. [5] Brain damage, specifically to the left hemisphere, can impair our ability to speak or understand language. [6] This led Sperry to conclude that due to the lateralization of brain function , language is based in the left hemisphere. [5] Therefore, any kind of brain damage to the left hemisphere will greatly impact language, whether it is expressive or receptive. ... If the condition is more severe, it may take many years. [4] The way speech therapy works is through speech practice as well as using special computer programs which let the patient practice their communication skills. [4] By using simple and short sentences or writing down these phrases can aid the patients while going through therapy. [4] Giving them enough time to communicate with their friends, family, or therapist will help them increase their skills and be able to manage them. [4] Complete success is usually achieved with treatment. [4] However, sometimes only partial success is achieved and the patient cannot fully comprehend everything. [4] With the partial restoration of some skills, the speech therapist may only focus on the skills which can be restored. [4] In other cases, the therapist may work on the skills which may not retrieved and teach the patient how to handle those.

Communication problems may affect your relationships with family and friends and make social situations challenging. ... Speech and language therapy You may have speech and language therapy to help you regain normal speech and improve communication. Your speech therapy goals might include adjusting speech rate, strengthening muscles, increasing breath support, improving articulation and helping family members communicate with you. Your speech-language pathologist may recommend trying other communication methods if speech and language therapy isn't effective. These communication methods could include visual cues, gestures, an alphabet board or computer-based technology. Coping and support If you have significant dysarthria that makes your speech difficult to understand, these suggestions may help you communicate more effectively: Speak slowly.
Any of the speech subsystems ( respiration , phonation , resonance , prosody , and articulation ) can be affected, leading to impairments in intelligibility, audibility, naturalness, and efficiency of vocal communication. [4] Dysarthria that has progressed to a total loss of speech is referred to as anarthria . ... Depending on the severity of the dysarthria, another possibility includes learning how to use a computer or flip cards in order to communicate more effectively. [3] More recent techniques based on the principles of motor learning (PML), such as LSVT ( Lee Silverman voice treatment ) [15] speech therapy and specifically LSVT may improve voice and speech function in PD. [16] For Parkinson's, aim to retrain speech skills through building new generalised motor programs, and attach great importance to regular practice, through peer/partner support and self-management. Regularity of practice, and when to practice, are the main issues in PML treatments, as they may determine the likelihood of generalization of new motor skills, and therefore how effective a treatment is. [ citation needed ] Augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) devices that make coping with a dysarthria easier include speech synthesis and text-based telephones . These allow people who are unintelligible, or may be in the later stages of a progressive illness, to continue to be able to communicate without the need for fully intelligible speech.

HFA is often, however, used in clinical settings to describe a set of symptoms related to an autism spectrum disorder whereby they exhibit standard autism indicators although have an intelligence quotient (IQ) of 70 or greater. [25] Treatment While there exists no single treatment or medicine for people with autism , there exists several strategies to help lessen the symptoms and effects of the condition. Augmentative and alternative communication Augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) is used for autistic patients who cannot communicate orally. Patients who have problems speaking may be taught to use other forms of communication, such as body language, computers, interactive devices, and pictures. [26] The picture exchange communication system (PECS) is a commonly used form of augmentative and alternative communication with children and adults who cannot communicate well orally. Patients are taught how to link pictures and symbols to their feelings, desires and observation, and may be able to link sentences together with the vocabulary that they form. [27] Speech-language therapy Speech-language therapy can help those with autism who need to develop or improve communication skills. [28] According to the organization Autism Speaks , "speech-language therapy is designed to coordinate the mechanics of speech with the meaning and social use of speech". [27] People with autism may have issues with communication, or speaking spoken words. Speech-language Pathologists (SLP) may teach someone how to communicate more effectively with others or work on starting to develop speech patterns. [29] The SLP will create a plan that focuses on what the child needs. ... PMID 30043350 . ^ "Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC)" . American Speech-Language-Hearing Association .

It is possible that the affected person may need to rely on speechreading and/or sign language for communication. In most cases the loss is a long term degradation in hearing loss. ... Ultimately the affected person may bridge communication problems by becoming skilled in sign language , speech-reading , using a hearing aid , or accepting elective surgery to use a prosthetic devices such as a cochlear implant . ... The affected person may need to use a TTY , a videophone, an interpreter, or relay service to communicate over the telephone. Loneliness and depression can arise as a result of isolation (from the inability to communicate with friends and loved ones) and difficulty in accepting their disability.

Primary progressive aphasia (PPA) is a neurodegenerative disorder, characterized by a primary dissolution of language, with relative sparing of other mental faculties for at least the first 2 years of illness. PPA is recognized as the language variant in the frontotemporal dementia (FTD; see this term) spectrum of disorders. PPA can be classified into 3 subtypes based on specific speech and language features: semantic dementia (SD), progressive non-fluent aphasia (PNFA) and logopenic progressive aphasia (lv-PPA) (see these terms).
Primary progressive apraxia of speech is a rare neurodegenerative disease characterized by impaired planning or programming of the movements for speech, leading to phonetically and prosodically abnormal speech, in absence, at onset, of any other neurological features (such as aphasia, memory loss, pyramidal signs). Patients usually present articulatory distortions/groping, slow rate, distorted sound substitutions and/or trial and error articulatory movements which begin insiduously and worsen over time.
Primary progressive aphasia (PPA) affects a person's ability to use language to communicate. This includes difficulty making or understanding speech ( aphasia ).
However, in some cases, patients with PPA are prescribed the same drugs Alzheimer's patients are normally prescribed. [1] The primary approach to treating PPA has been with behavioral treatment, with the hope that these methods can provide new ways for patients to communicate in order to compensate for their deteriorated abilities. [1] Speech therapy can assist an individual with strategies to overcome difficulties. ... In Introduction to Neurogenic Communication Disorders (Vol. 1, p. 91).

Individuals on the autistic spectrum experience difficulties with social communication and interaction and also exhibit restricted, repetitive patterns of behavior, interests, or activities. ... Another change to the DSM includes collapsing social and communication deficits into one domain. [27] Thus, an individual with an ASD diagnosis will be described in terms of severity of social communication symptoms, severity of fixated or restricted behaviors or interests, hyper- or hyposensitivity to sensory stimuli, and associated features. ... For example, they may speak loudly in libraries or movie theaters. [51] Communication skills [ edit ] Communication deficits are due to problems with social-emotional skills like joint attention and social reciprocity . ... For example, a child might repeat words or insist on always talking about the same subject. [50] ASD can present with impairments in pragmatic communication skills, such as difficulty initiating a conversation or failure to consider the interests of the listener to sustain a conversation. [50] Language impairment is also common in children with autism, but it is not necessary for the diagnosis. [50] Many children with ASD develop language skills at an uneven pace where they easily acquire some aspects of communication, while never fully developing others. [53] In some cases, individuals remain completely nonverbal throughout their lives, although the accompanying levels of literacy and nonverbal communication skills vary. ... The ADOS is a semistructured interactive evaluation of ASD symptoms that is used to measure social and communication abilities by eliciting several opportunities (or "presses") for spontaneous behaviors (e.g., eye contact) in standardized context.
