La ricerca neuropsicologica degli ultimi trenta anni ci ha fornito molte nuove informazioni sulla rappresentazione delle competenze semantiche nel cervello e sugli effetti di una loro compromissione conseguente a un danno cerebrale. Tali effetti si manifestano non solo nella capacita del soggetto di utilizzare il linguaggio ma anche in numerose attivita intelligenti extraverbali come l interazione con oggetti di uso quotidiano. Conoscere il funzionamento fisiologico e la compromissione patologica della memoria semantica ci ha messo in grado di costruire alcuni esercizi riabilitativi mirati e scientificamente fondati per far fronte alle esigenze del soggetto con disturbo semantico.

Il presente strumento propone tre diversi esercizi riabilitativi, tutti basati sul modello componenziale delle rappresentazioni semantiche, che a nostro avviso e quello che ha goduto del maggior numero di conferme sperimentali dalla ricerca neuropsicologica.

Nell esercizio Seleziona, al soggetto e richiesto di selezionare gli items target tra un certo numero di distrattori in base a un particolare tratto semantico (p.es. cerca quelli con le ali).

Nell esercizio Vero/ Falso, al soggetto e richiesto di verificare l occorrenza di un singolo tratto nella rappresentazione semantica del concetto target (p. es. il coltello si usa per tagliare?).

Nell esercizio Ordina, al soggetto e richiesto di ordinare gli esemplari di concetti diversi in base a una data dimensione, come la grandezza o la velocita.

Oltre che rappresentare uno strumento mirato e scientificamente fondato il nostro programma riabilitativo ha il merito di aver affrontato il problema della ripetitivita degli esercizi preconfezionati che, come e noto, rischia di limitare la generalizzazione degli apprendimenti da parte del paziente. Per ovviare a questo problema si e puntato su l inserimento di un alto numero di concetti e di tratti nel database del programma e su una procedura casuale di abbinamento per la confezione dei singoli stimoli di ogni esercizio in modo da minimizzare l occorrenza di situazioni uguali."

Hearing loss now strikes one in seven people but how to study the impact of hearing loss on relationships has continually baffled researchers. The authors' personal experience with profound hearing loss and her roles as wife, mother, social worker and counsellor, suggest that the complexities involved might be fruitfully explored by using an intensive and repetitive interviewing technique.

This book explores and analyses 150 in-depth interviews with hearing impaired people, including eleven couples in committed relationships where one partner is hearing and the other is hearing impaired. Detailed information was obtained about the way each couple managed conflict, decision making, household chores, communication, and perceived the hearing impairment within their relationship. Five major strands emerge: intimate family relationships, social support networks, communication strategies, the nature of care and recommendations for social policy. By drawing from the fields of family therapy, marital therapy, counselling, family sociology, social policy, psychology, social psychology and linguistics as well as disability and deafness, a new broader and more positive picture emerges.

This ground-breaking book is aimed at professionals who would like to work more effectively with deaf and hearing impaired people. Although not a 'How to Cope' book, it will also interest hearing impaired people themselves because of the enormous number of insights offered.

Le piu recenti acquisizioni della neuropsicologia cognitiva hanno consentito di focalizzare la natura dei processi linguistici e comunicativi, individuando i correlati fisiologici ed anatomici sottostanti alla produzione (encoding) e alla comprensione (decoding) del linguaggio. La prima sezione intende esplorare i paradigmi, i metodi e gli strumenti della neuropsicologia "per" la comunicazione. In particolare viene fornita una sintesi dei piu recenti approcci di ricerca e degli strumenti empirici applicati allo studio del processo comunicativo, tra i quali la rilevazione dei correlati fisiologici (indici periferici), cognitivi (indici centrali, tra cui i potenziali evento-correlati), e le rilevazioni mediante neuroimaging (come la risonanza magnetica funzionale). Nella seconda sezione del contributo vengono prese in considerazione le componenti pragmatiche della comunicazione. Recenti modelli hanno focalizzato la propria attenzione su alcuni fenomeni peculiari dello scambio comunicativo che evidenziano il ruolo prioritario del "voler dire" nella comunicazione ordinaria. Specificamente facciamo riferimento ai fenomeni dell'ironia e della comunicazione idiomatica, della metafora e, piu in generale, del linguaggio iconico o figurato. Particolare attenzione sara riservata alle recenti acquisizioni empiriche che hanno sottolineato l'indipendenza delle componenti pragmatiche rispetto al piano prettamente "linguistico." La terza sezione del contributo intende analizzare il piano comunicativo non-verbale, con particolare attenzione alla comunicazione delle emozioni. Piu specificamente vengono prese in considerazione le componenti mimiche (volto) e vocali (voce) nell'encoding e nel decoding delle emozioni."

The key reference dedicated to surgery for cholesteatoma... The cholesteatoma, strictly speaking a cyst and not a cancer, nevertheless shows expansive and destructive growth patterns that may give rise to serious symptoms and consequences, including fatality, not unlike those seen for malignant neoplasms. The great challenge of therapy is to eradicate the pathologic growth while preserving hearing and other critical functions of the middle ear and petrous bone, respecting the proximity of vital neural and vascular structures, and the intricate three-dimensional relationships involved. Mario Sanna's Microsurgical Management of Middle Ear and Petrous Bone Cholesteatoma is the ultimate illustrated guide to complete management of the cholesteatoma, including assessment of the full expansion and degree of destruction caused by the growths, and short- and long-term follow-up to assess and treat for recurrence. Key Features Brilliantly illustrated with diagnostic images from otoscopy and radiology, both normal and pathological Step-by-step description of approaches and techniques for the procedures Special coverage of petrous bone cholesteatoma, which is less frequent than other forms but more difficult to diagnose and treat, with introduction and description of a new function-sparing procedure, the subtotal petrosectomy Microsurgical Management of Middle Ear and Petrous Bone Cholesteatoma extends Mario Sanna's passionate dedication to excellence in otologic teaching and training into this highly complex surgical area. Practitioners, residents, and fellows will find it indispensable. This book includes complimentary access to a digital copy on https://medone.thieme.com.

La sclerosi multipla rappresenta una delle cause piu frequenti di disabilita cronica nei giovani adulti. Essa colpisce, soprattutto, individui tra i 20 e i 50 anni di eta, con un picco di incidenza intorno ai 30 anni. Tale malattia e caratterizzata dalla presenza di lesioni demielinizzanti di natura infiammatoria disseminate nel sistema nervoso centrale. La diversa localizzazione di tali lesioni e alla base della variabilita della sintomatologia clinica che puo' essere caratterizzata da disturbi motori, sensitivi, neurovegetativi e cognitivi. Questi ultimi riguardano circa la meta dei pazienti affetti da tale patologia e hanno una notevole incidenza sulla situazione personale, familiare e lavorativa di tali pazienti.

La necessita di sottoporre i pazienti affetti da sclerosi multipla a una terapia riabilitativa degli eventuali deficit cognitivi e, pero', acquisizione recente.

Il presente volume si propone di offrire una visione d'insieme degli aspetti epidemiologici, patogenetici e clinici della malattia; particolare rilievo sara dato agli aspetti cognitivi e psico - emotivi e alla loro relazione con le caratteristiche del danno anatomico evidenziato dagli esami di neuroimaging. Nella parte piu specifica del volume, per ogni aspetto della possibile compromissione cognitiva vengono affrontate, alla luce delle piu recenti ricerche, le diverse metodiche riabilitative utilizzate, al fine di fornire indicazioni utili per la rieducazione cognitiva dei pazienti con sclerosi multipla.

The Female Voice" follows the passage of the voice from fetus to new born, from infancy to childhood and puberty, from the adult female to menopause and the aging voice. The connectivity between mind, body, and hormones creates a voice for everyone more unique than a fingerprint and is an emotional amplifier that can impact the female voice more than the male voice.This text includes all that you wanted to know about the female voice, but never dared to ask. The right answers will be found in "The Female Voice", based on today's current science.*Does voice have a sex? Is it sexual or hormonal?*Why does puberty change less in women than men?*Why does a woman's voice change during her menstrual cycle?*Could we avoid or prevent the aging voice in women?*What is the importance of diet, hygiene, and exercise?

Nonostante negli ultimi trent'anni anni numerosissime siano state le ricerche sperimentali aventi per oggetto la relazione tra emisfero cerebrale destro ed i processi di comunicazione verbale, nel panorama della letteratura nazionale non e presente un testo che riferisca dei frutti di tali ricerche.

L'obiettivo di questo volume, pertanto, e di riferire in modo completo lo stato attuale delle conoscenze sul contributo fornito dall'emisfero destro ai processi di comunicazione verbale. Nello specifico, vengono prese in considerazione le competenze prosodiche, semantico-lessicali, pragmatiche e piu latamente testuali. Attraverso la semplificazione del linguaggio e la schematizzazione dei concetti basilari gli autori hanno realizzato un efficace strumento didattico. Ipotesi e risultati, anche contrastanti, sono stati riportati con l'obiettivita e la competenza necessarie per un'opera che vuole informare oltre che formare, suscitare desiderio di indagine personale ed essere utile in ambiti professionali diversi."

Grazie alla memoria semantica attribuiamo un significato agli oggetti dell'esperienza. Il suo posto nell'ambito delle funzioni cognitive e di primaria importanza se si pensa che essa e coinvolta in operazioni quali la comprensione del linguaggio e il riconoscimento delle cose che ci circondano. Questo volume ha per oggetto gli aspetti teorici e clinici della memoria semantica e della sua compromissione in soggetti portatori di un danno cerebrale. Nella prima parte, argomenti di interesse piu generale, come i rapporti tra parole, concetti ed entita reali, vengono trattati da un punto di vista strettamente neuropsicologico, ripercorrendo l'evoluzione del concetto di "disturbo della sfera semantica" dalle origini ottocentesche della ricerca su soggetti affetti da lesioni cerebrali ai modelli piu attuali, proposti per spiegare i deficit semantici in corso di patologie come l'ictus cerebrale o la malattia di Alzheimer. La seconda parte del volume, piu direttamente rivolta agli operatori del settore, e dedicata a due importanti questioni di interesse clinico: il problema della "diagnosi differenziale" tra disturbo semantico ed altri deficit cognitivi e quello della riabilitazione della memoria semantica nel soggetto cerebroleso.
