BACKGROUND: The term "transcortical aphasia" is applied to primary lesions not involving the receptive and expressive language areas, but rather the areas connected to the association cortex. By definition, patients with transcortical aphasia can repeat what they have heard, but they have difficulty producing spontaneous speech or understanding speech. This paper reports the clinical features of stroke patients with transcortical aphasia to delineate the language profiles of its subtypes. METHODS: Eighty patients with stroke were divided into three subtypes of transcortical aphasia: transcortical sensory aphasia, transcortical motor aphasia, and mixed transcortical aphasia. A Korean version of the Western Aphasia Battery was used to compare the subdomains of language ability among the three groups. RESULTS: The patients showed a relatively preserved repetition ability, but the performances in repetition and generative naming, and the aphasia quotient were highest in the transcortical sensory aphasic group, followed by the transcortical motor aphasic and mixed transcortical aphasic groups. CONCLUSIONS: The present study provides detailed information on the language profiles of the three subtypes of transcortical aphasia, which can be differentiated based on the aphasia quotient and generative naming scores.

The lesion of the global aphasia often involves both Broca's and Wernicke's speech area, and is shown as broad lesion in the Brain CT However, practically there were several reports about the Brain CT findings of the global aphasia, which suggested atypical patterns that did not involve both language centers, simultaneously. Therefore we subdivided the patterns of Brain CT finding of the 17 global aphasic patients into 4 subtypes according to whether or not the cortical language area was involved. We obtained the following results; 1. Type A : Involvement of the both language areas : 9 cases (53%) 2. Type B : Involvement of only Broca's area with sparing of Wernicke's area : 3 cases(17%) 3. Type C : Involvement of only Wernicke's area with sparing of Broca's area : 1 case (6%) 4. Type D : Involvement only of subcortical area with sparing of cortical language areas : 4 cases (24%).

Background. Stroke remains a leading cause of death and disability in the Philippines, rendering its survivors unable to cope well with activities of daily living, including sexual functioning. Sexual dysfunction is an under-recognized complication post-stroke, and mobility and communication barriers among those with aphasia can further contribute to sexual dysfunction, potentially affecting their quality of life.
Objective. To determine the changes in sexual functioning among patients with aphasia and the communication methods they used to compensate for language and communication deficits.
Method. This was a descriptive cross-sectional study involving patients (?30 years old, with 1 episode of stroke, with non-fluent aphasia) and their respective sexual partners. Data were gathered using a clinician-administered questionnaire based on previous studies. Outcomes included changes in libido, coital frequency, time of resumption of sexual activity, erectile/ orgasmic ability, sexual satisfaction, and alternative methods of communication.
Results. Forty participants were included comprising of 20 patients with aphasia and their respective sexual partners. There was a decline in sexual activity among the couples, with reduced frequency of sexual intercourse. Both patients and partners reported difficulties in expressing the desire for sexual activities, hindering initiation. There was noted difficulty in ascertaining the sexual experience of patients with aphasia (i.e., whether pleasure or pain), hindering maintenance and enjoyment of the sexual act. In response to the difficulties mentioned above, sexual innuendoes as communication strategies were described by the couples.
Conclusion. The study provides baseline local data on changes in sexual functioning among stroke patients with nonfluent aphasia and their sexual partners. Sexual rehabilitation is recommended in the holistic management of patients with aphasia to train couples develop compensatory techniques to adjust to the changes in their sexual lives.

Transcorticamrnotro aphasia is(TMA) a syndrome of nonfluent aphasia with good comprehension and preserved repetition. Language profiles and CT or MRI anatomy in 6 cases of TMA were studied. Their speech was characterized by impaired spontaneous speech and naming with well preserved comprehension and excellent repetition. Most of cases(4/6) had a tendency to repeat everything slavishly, namely echolalia. Perseveration was also common feature(4/6). Four patients showed quick recovery within a few weeks so as to communicate without much difficulty in daily living. The findings on computerized tomography(CT) and magnetic resonance maging(MRI) revealed that the main lesion sites were in the supplementary motor area(SMA) or in the subcortical white matter connecting between SMA and frontal perisylvian zone of Broca's area.

The purpose of this paper is to present a form of aphasia test, Modified Western Aphasia Battery (MWAB), which can be a practical method of examing and classifying Korean aphasic patients. This scorable test has five subtests: information, fluency, comprehension, repetition and naming. The authors have examined 11 aphasics and 34 normal control with this test, and report its methods and results.

9.A clinical trial to treat cerebrovascular accidents - induced aphasia by combining tongue acupuncture with scalp acupuncture
Journal Reasearch of Vietnam Traditional Medicine and Pharmacy 2005;15():25-28
A study was conducted on 45 patients who had aphasia after cerebrovascular accident at Department of Acupuncture in Chinese medicine Institute of Chiangsu, China. Patients were divided randomly into 3 groups: Group 1 was treated by alone scalp acupuncture, group 2 was treated by alone tongue acupuncture, and group 3 was treated by both two methods. Results: Combination of tongue acupuncture and scalp acupuncture is an effective treatment for aphasia after cerebrovascular accident. It has good treatment effectiveness with all kinds of aphasia. The patients in group 3 had better results than the group 1 and group 2
