The purpose of this study was to review the current language level of children from multi-cultural background and whether the language level of these children would be increased after participating in the 'We Start Language Intervention Program'. The subjects were 30 36-75-month old children attending daycare centers in Ansan city, South Korea. The results showed that the receptive and expressive language levels of children from multi-cultural families were low compared to those of other children, and that their expressive language level was evaluated more negatively than their receptive language level. After participating in the 'We Start Language Intervention Program', language test scores, language age and language percentile rank were all increased. It was also found that the developmental language level of multi-cultural children increased, and that of the children that had a language delay or language disorder decreased.

본 논문은 주의산만이나 과잉운동을 주소로 대학병원 정신과에 내원한 5세에서 13세 사이의 환아들을 대상으로 인구학적 특성과 주진단 및 공존질병에 대해서 조사하였고, 그 중에서 주의력결핍 과잉운동장애(ADHD)로 진단 받은 환아들의 인구학적 및 임상적 특성을 조사하였으며, 공존질병이 있는 집단과 ADHD만 있는 집단을 비교 분석하였다. 또한 ADHD군과 외향적장애군 및 내향적장애군 등 세집단간의 임상특성과 심리검사상의 차이를 알아보았다. 주진단은 ADHD가 가장 많았고. 불안장애, 정신지체, 우울증, 반항장애, 발달성언어장애 등의 순이었다. 두 가지 이상의 진단이 내려진 경우가 48.9% 이었고, 부진단으로는 유뇨증, 품행장애, 발달성언어장애 등이 있었다. 주진단을 ADHD로 받은 환아들에서 공존질병이 있는 경우가 55.3%에 달했고. 공존질병은 특수발달장애, 품행장애, 반항장애, 불안장애 등의 순이었다. 순수 ADHD군에 비해서 공존질병 수반군에서는 동작성 지능검사와 연속과제수행검사에서 저조한 수행을 보였다. 외향적장애군은 ADHD군에 비해 지능검사의 상식 소검사 및 같은 그림찾기 검사와 연속과제수행검사에서 수행의 저하를 보였다. 내향적장애군은 ADHD군에 비해 교사 평정척도 점수가 낮았고, 아동행동조사표의 소통불능요인이 높았으며 연속과제수행검사에서는 카드 오류수가 낮았다. 본 연구의 결과를 볼 때 주의산만이나 과잉운동이 주증상으로 나타날 경우 각종 평가 및 신경심리검사도구를 광범위하게 사용하여 ADHD 외에도 외향적 및 내향적장애군 등 다양한 질환을 감별하여야 하며, ADHD 진단을 내리는 경우에도 수반된 공존질병의 유무를 확인하여 이를 치료계획에 반영하여야 할 것으로 생각된다.

The purpose of this study is to survey Speech-Language Pathologists' perception on evaluation and treatment of "swallowing disorders". An online questionnaire was sent to the 279 subjects attending undergraduate/graduate programs in speech therapy department and/or SLPs who work in various settings. The survey consisted of three parts: 1) background information and educational/clinical experiences that are associated with dysphagia (swallowing disorder), 2) the current state of diagnosis and treatment of dysphagia of clinical practice (certified SLPs only), 3) the recognition of diagnosis, treatment, education for dysphagia. Each item of the survey was scaled by the participants on a five-point Likert scale of 1 to 5 (1 being not at all and 5 being extremely) or self-reported answers. The results of the survey showed that SLPs have high interest in "swallowing disorder", but most of them regarded them very difficult to diagnose and treat. The reason is that they have not been trained as a swallowing specialist. Therefore it is necessary to provide more opportunities for education and practice to establish the expertise of SLPs.

Autism and autistic spectrum disorder are chronic neuro-developmental disorders characterized by social and language impairments and stereotyped, repetitive patterns of behavior. The etiology of autism remains unknown; however, a strong genetic component has been detected and environmental factors may also be involved in their etiologies. In the current study, we reviewed evidence for the presence of prenatal and perinatal factors, gastrointestinal factors, food allergies, metabolic and heavy metal factors, and other nutritional factors that may represent risk factors for the development of autism and autistic spectrum disorder.

Speech and language are uniquely human-specific traits, which contributed to humans becoming the predominant species on earth. Disruptions in the human speech and language function may result in diverse disorders. These include stuttering, aphasia, articulation disorder, spasmodic dysphonia, verbal dyspraxia, dyslexia and specific language impairment. Among these disorders, stuttering is the most common speech disorder characterized by disruptions in the normal flow of speech. Twin, adoption, and family studies have suggested that genetic factors are involved in susceptibility to stuttering. For several decades, multiple genetic studies including linkage analysis were performed to connect causative gene to stuttering, and several genetic studies have revealed the association of specific gene mutation with stuttering. One notable genetic discovery came from the genetic studies in the consanguineous Pakistani families. These studies suggested that mutations in the lysosomal enzyme-targeting pathway genes (GNPTAB, GNPTG and NAPGA) are associated with non-syndromic persistent stuttering. Although these studies have revealed some clues in understanding the genetic causes of stuttering, only a small fraction of patients are affected by these genes. In this study, we summarize recent advances and future challenges in an effort to understand genetic causes underlying stuttering.

Objectives This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of Chuna manual therapy(CMT) in the treatment of rotator cuff disorder. Methods We searched th following nine online databases without language restriction (MEDLINE/PubMed, Cochrane library, Ebscohost, CNKI, RISS, NDSL, KMBASE, and KISS) to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that used CMT in the treatment of rotator cuff disorder. The methodological quality of each RCT was assessed using the Cochrane risk-of-bias tool. Results Four RCTs were included. in the meta-analysis. CMT resulted in a significant reduction in symptoms in these trials. However, there was a high risk of bias in the RCTs. Conclusions We reviewed RCTs that studied the effects of CMT for rotator cuff disorder. While the studies indicate that CMT has favorable effects on rotator cuff disorder. But the risk of bias for most of the studies was high. Therefore, high-quality studies are required to make further conclusions.

Developmental language disorder is the most common developmental disability in childhood, occurring in 5-8% of preschool children. Children learn language in early childhood, and later they use language to learn. Children with language disorders are at increased risk for difficulties with reading and written language when they enter school. These problems often persist through adolescence or adulthood. Early intervention may prevent the more serious consequences of later academic problems, including learning disabilities. A child's performance in specific speech and language areas, such as phonological ability, vocabulary comprehension, and grammatical usage, is measured objectively using the most recently standardized, norm-referenced tests for a particular age group. Observation and qualitative analysis of a child's performance supplement objective test results are essential for making a diagnosis and devising a treatment plan. Emphasis on the team approach system in the evaluation of children with speech and language impairments has been increasing. Evidence-based therapeutic interventions with short-term, long-term, and functional outcome goals should be applied, because there are many examples of controversial practices that have not been validated in large, controlled trials. Following treatment intervention, periodic follow-up monitoring by a doctor is also important. In addition, a systematized national health policy for children with speech and language disorders should be provided.
