953-0.999) and in women (R = 0.813-0.982), except for VT1-V1 compared with FT1-F1, which demonstrated a moderate correlation in women (R = 0.648; all p  less then  0.001). Only VT1-V1 and FT1-F1 in women displayed a significant difference (p = 0.001). Therefore, this is the first study to simultaneous record VFSS and noninvasive signals by FSR sensor. TTK21 datasheet The correlation of temporal parameters between these two tests was strong. This finding is valuable for future applications of this noninvasive swallowing study tool.BACKGROUND The impact of tongue dysfunction on deglutition in persons diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is not well understood. This information is needed to improve our understanding of the mechanisms of swallowing impairment, for identifying risk factors of dysphagia, and for establishing impairment-specific treatments aimed at slowing the loss of swallow function. OBJECTIVES The goals of this study were to determine the relation between biomechanical measures of oral tongue movements using electromagnetic articulography (EMA) and measures of swallow physiology, swallow safety and efficiency, and self-reported swallowing function. METHODS Participants were diagnosed with ALS by a neurologist following the El Escorial Criteria from the World Federation of Neurology. Twelve participants underwent (1) EMA to derive biomechanical measures of the tongue, (2) videofluoroscopic evaluation to measure swallow physiology, safety, and efficiency, and (3) maximal tongue strength testing using the Iowa Oral Pressure Instrument (IOPI). Participants completed self-reported functional assessments. Spearman's rank correlations assessed for associations between lingual biomechanics and swallowing physiology, swallow safety and efficiency, and self-reported bulbar function. RESULTS Results demonstrated strong associations between biomechanical and swallowing physiology, swallow safety, and self-reported measures. Notably, swallowing safety during thin liquid intake was associated with tongue speed (r = - 0.7, p  less then  0.05) and range of motion (r = - 0.71, p  less then  0.05), and swallowing safety during puree intake was associated with tongue strength (r = - 0.69, p  less then  0.05). CONCLUSIONS Our findings underscore the importance of tongue movements on swallowing physiology and safety, help improve our understanding of mechanisms of swallowing impairment, and highlight a potential clinical tool to index bulbar impairment.Despite significant progress in research on the treatment and prevention of psychological, behavioral, and health problems, the translation of this knowledge into population-wide benefit remains limited. This paper reviews the state of America's children and families, highlighting the influence of stressful contextual and social conditions on child and family well-being and the concentration of disadvantage in numerous neighborhoods and communities throughout the nation. It then briefly reviews the progress that has been made in pinpointing policies that can reduce stressful contextual conditions such as poverty, discrimination, and the marketing of unhealthful foods and substances. It also describes numerous family and school interventions that have proven benefit in preventing psychological and behavioral problems as diverse as tobacco, alcohol, and other drug use; depression; antisocial behavior; academic failure; obesity prevention; and early childbearing. We argue that progress in translating existing knowledge into widespread benefit will require a nationwide effort to intervene comprehensively in neighborhoods and communities of concentrated disadvantage. We present a strategic plan for how such an effort could be organized. The first step in this organizing would be the creation of a broad and diverse coalition of organizations concerned with advancing public health and well-being. Such a coalition could increase public support both for the policies needed to focus on these disadvantaged areas and the research needed to incrementally improve our ability to help these areas.Latinos are underrepresented in clinical trials, where they encounter challenges in participation and a lack of effective recruitment and retention strategies. For Latino migrants with mental health and substance use problems, these challenges are even greater. Analyzing results from a multicenter randomized clinical trial for Latino migrants with mental health and substance use problems in Boston, Massachusetts, USA as well as Madrid and Barcelona, Spain, we describe six retention strategies used to facilitate participant engagement in follow-up assessments, and report the sociodemographic, clinical, and educational factors associated with research assessment completion. Among 341 randomized participants, 77% completed the 12-month follow-up and 75% completed at least 3 of the 4 follow-up assessments. Having a high school diploma, being recruited at community centers versus other sites, and having a less severe mental health condition were significantly associated with completing more follow-up interviews. Rigorous and customized methods reflecting participant's individual context can bolster research assessment completion for diverse Latino populations with behavioral health concerns.Between 1976 and 1983, in Argentina, among the 30,000 individuals kidnapped and killed by armed forces, several pregnant women delivered their children in captivity, who were illegally adopted by families with close military ties. To date, 130 of these children have been identified (named Living Disappeared, LDs) and reunited with their biological families. The aim of this review was to analyze the peculiarity of their traumatic experiences the specific factors of trauma resolution. We conducted a comprehensive search of the articles that specifically deal with Argentinean LDs. Fifteen records met the inclusion criteria. Symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and traumatic memories were reported by LDs, both after and before learning the truth; the processing of trauma was found to be facilitated by verbalizing traumatic experiences, listening to others' narratives, and recognizing the belonging to a political community. The pathogenic relevance of the early exposure to trauma, the climate of lies, secrets, and doubts which characterized the life with the illegally adoptive parents and the conflict between two identities have been found.
