치매(dementia)는 라틴에게서 유래된 말로서 '정신이 없어진 것' 이라는 의미를 갖고 있다. 태어날 때부터 지적 능력이 모자라는 경우를 정신지체(mental retardation)라고 부르는 반면, 치매는 후천적인 뇌질환이다. 즉, 정상적으로 생활해 오던 사함이 후천적인 뇌 손상으로 인하여 기억력, 언어능력, 방향감각, 판단력 등의 인지기능을 잃어가는 것이다. 또한 이런 인지 기능 장애가 심각하여 일상생활에 상당한 지장이 나타날 때 치매라고 한다.

월경전증후군은 여성만이 경험할 수 있는 생리 전 불편감을 치료가 필요할 정도로 심각하게 느끼는 병을 말한다. 여성의 65%가 가벼운 우울감과 같은 생리 전 불편 증상을 호소하고, 20~40%는 월경 때마다 반복되는 치료가 필요한 정도의 다양한 증상으로 월경전증후군을 앓고 있다. 또한, 이들 중 2~9%는 사회적, 직업적으로 더욱 심각한 증상 때문에 치료를 받게 되는데 이를 월경 전 불쾌장애라고 부른다.

보수적인 대한민국의 사회에서 성은 향상 음지에서 활동하는 영역이었다. 대부분의 사람들이 성생활이 삶에서 중요한 부분이라는 것을 인정하지만, 그에 대해 자세히 알기는 부끄러워한다. 특히 여성 당뇨병환자는 성 기능 장애와 임신성 당뇨 등 많은 위험이 존재함에도 성이라는 이름으로 교육과 치료를 미루고 있어 안타까운 실정이다.

옛말에 '우리 몸이 백냥이면 우리 눈은 구십 냥이다'란 말이 있다. 그만큼 시력이 삶에 차지하는 중요성을 피력한 것이다. 눈을 통해 정보를 받아들이는 정도는 거의 90%다. 시각장애우들은 책에 박혀있는 한 점 한 점을 통해 세상을 받아들인다. 잃어버린 90%를 찾기 위해 9배 이상의 노력을 기울일 수밖에 없다.

We have to consider two parts of the evaluation and treatment for the patients with head and neck burns. The primary consideration is swallowing function for nutrition supply for them and the next is speech function for efficient communication and aesthetic impression of them. The purpose of this study is to summarize the preliminary questions of Communication Screening Protocols which can help understand comprehensively on swallowing disorder, motor speech disorder and voice disorder of patients with head and neck burns. We divided the evaluation into 4 evaluation areas including 'oral mechanism', 'respiration/voice', 'articulation', and 'swallowing' by referring to overseas studies dealing with various communication disorders caused by burns, and prepared the final questionnaires by conducting the content validity verification by five expert (speech & language pathologist). The range of Content Validity Index was shown relatively appropriate with .50~.84. There was a conflict of opinions in experts whether the items in the areas of respiration/voice and swallowing may be appropriate, whereas there was no different view of the oral mechanism and articulation area. Through the different characteristics of communication difficulties of patients with head and neck burns, we expect it will be modified appropriately according to the patients through evaluation of burn patients by type and severity.

최근 인공지능의 발달로 인해 AI스피커에 대한 연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 조음장애는 구강 안에서 말소리를 제대로 만들지 못해서 제대로 된 언어를 구사하지 못하는 장애를 말한다. 조음장애인들이 AI스피커를 사용하면 발음을 제대로 인식하지 못하기 때문에 사용의 어려움이 있다. 본 논문에서는 경증 조음장애인들이 AI스피커를 이용할 수 있도록 머신러닝 기반 언어교정기의 개발내용에 관하여 기술한다. 이는 언어로 명령 줄 수 있는 여러 시스템에 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

Unlike other common forms of speech disorder, such as phonological disorder or dysphonia, stuttering has not been studied within the context of music therapy. Most cases of stuttering display no difficulty in singing, and fluency within the musical structure does not translate to fluency in speech. Hence, musical approach has been generally considered to be ineffective to the treatment of stuttering. However, the fundamentals of music therapy assume its extensive application in treating variety of speech disorders, including the case of stuttering. Presented in this paper are the case studies designed to validate the efficacy of music therapy as a remedy for stuttering. This study enrolled 6 children with stuttering and conducted 20 individual sessions over a period of 10 weeks. The sessions focused on the Melodic Intonation Therapy, Reinforcement of speech rhythm, song writing and singing. Musical elements were structured to enhance the verbal expression and rhythmic senses, as well as to facilitate the initiation of verbal communication. The result is as follows. First, it was noticed that the disfluency had been decreased in before and after of the music therapy in every child although the result was somewhat different depending the child. The overall result of the investigation shows the significant difference statistically. And categorically speaking, the significant difference was checked in the frequency of the stuttering. In the steps of the session, the increase and decrease was happened repeatedly, and then after it was decreased little by little. Secondly, the Communication Attitude was decreased in before and after of the music therapy, and also there was significant difference statistically. although the avoidance behavior was decreased in before and after of the music therapy, the increase and the decrease was repeated irregularly in the steps of session. All the results described above shows that music therapy gives positive effect to decrease in disfluency of stuttering child and also to develop the Communication Attitude. And new possibility and effectiveness can be proposed in the musical approach to the stuttering.

Auditory perceptual assessment and acoustic analysis are commonly used in clinical practice for voice evaluation. This study aims to explore the effects of speech task context on auditory perceptual assessment and acoustic measures in patients with voice disorders. Sustained vowel phonations (/a/, /e/, /i/, /o/, /u/, /ɯ/, /ʌ/) and connected speech (a standardized paragraph 'kaeul' and nine sub-sentences) were obtained from a total of 22 patients with voice disorders. GRBAS ('G', 'R', 'B', 'A', 'S') and CAPE-V ('OS', 'R', 'B', 'S', 'P', 'L') auditory-perceptual assessment were evaluated by two certified speech language pathologists specializing in voice disorders using blind and random voice samples. Additionally, spectral and cepstral measures were analyzed using the analysis of dysphonia in speech and voice model (ADSV).When assessing voice quality with the GRBAS scale, it was not significantly affected by the vowel type except for 'B', while the 'OS', 'R' and 'B' in CAPE-V were affected by the vowel type (p<.05). In addition, measurements of CPP and L/H ratio were influenced by vowel types and sentence positions. CPP values in the standard paragraph showed significant negative correlations with all vowels, with the highest correlation observed for /e/ vowel (r=-.739). The CPP of the second sentence had the strongest correlation with all vowels. Depending on the speech stimulus, CAPE-V may have a greater impact on auditory-perceptual assessment than GRBAS, vowel types and sentence position with consonants influenced the 'B' scale, CPP, and L/H ratio. When using vowels in the voice assessment of patients with voice disorders, it would be beneficial to use not only /a/, but also the vowel /i/, which is acoustically highly correlated with 'breathy'. In addition, the /e/ vowel was highly correlated acoustically with the standardized passage and sub-sentences. Furthermore, given that most dysphonic signals are aperiodic, 2nd sentence of the 'kaeul' passage, which is the most acoustically correlated with all vowels, can be used with CPP. These results provide clinical evidence of the impact of speech tasks on auditory perceptual and acoustic measures, which may help to provide guidelines for voice evaluation in patients with voice disorders.

For children with hearing impairment, unlike the children without hearing impairment who can reconstruct their languages through the process of hearing and uttering, the inherent mechanism for language acquisition do not operate due to the loss of hearing ability. Therefore, to help hearing-impaired children develop their language ability, web-based language learning system should be constructed depending on the special qualities which the children possess in language learning process. When the system is being designed, it is necessary that words or expressions describing actions or situations be animated and that active situation-based language learning system be constructed to help them develop their power of observation. Moreover, the system needs to be developed through the use of alternative thinking strategy, antonyms, and contrastive words, and emphasis on facial expressions. This paper presents web-based language learning system which is suitable for hearing-impaired children in the way to reduce the grammatical errors they make and to improve their language learning.
