aphasia

Fast Takes Episode 48

Read the transcript

In this podcast, Research Scientist Timothy Rich, PhD, discusses a new study, the first to show the need to expand the application of prism adaptation treatment for spatial neglect. Dr. Rich was part of a team that discovered prism adaptation therapy was as beneficial for treating right-sided spatial neglect as left-sided spatial neglect in a cohort of individuals with stroke and traumatic and non-traumatic brain injuries. The findings were published in June 2023 in a peer-reviewed article, “Prism Adaptation Treatment for Right-Sided and Left-Sided Spatial Neglect: A Retrospective Case-Matched Study,” in the journal Archives of Rehabilitation Research and Clinical Translation.

    Slam the Gavel welcomes my good friend Kim Koogle to the podcast. Kim talked about her journey through being in a Cult, "The Way International," when she was 22 years old. Kim talked about Robert J. Lifton's books, one of which was Cults In Our Midst: The Hidden Menace in our Everyday Lives. Coercive Control and Mind Control, and how this played a big part when she was came out of the cult that would prepare her for what would come next in her life. 
     Kim had put herself through college and had a career prior to having children and had been a contractor in nuclear power plants for Department of Defense and the Department of Energy. Then she spent twenty years raising her children. However, her spouse had filed for divorce.
    Explaining that after her children were taken away from her by her ex in court and the legal abuse she suffered, for example going from living in a one-million dollar house to now an Airstream Trailer, to when her daughter had a serious accident and was then under the control of her father, Kim could see the coercive control through, "loaded language," which was used in Lifton's book. COERCIVE CONTROL through DOMESTIC VIOLENCE by PROXY. Kim shared the heartbreaking destruction of child psychological abuse and how it has affected her children and her life, in as far as PTSD and Aphasia, and how far she has come.

Learn about the Disease Affecting Bruce Willis

Bruce Willis’ family put out a statement about his diagnosis with Frontotemporal dementia we thought it would be a good time to talk about this disease. It is a complicated disease, so we divided our chat about this illness into two podcasts. This week we will talk about what frontotemporal dementia does to the body and next week we will explore management of it.

In this Episode:
02:28 - Aboriginal Death Customs
06:30 - Recipe of the Week, Anzac Biscuits
08:14 - Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD)
25:11 - Nick Cave and the Red Hand Files
28:56 - Outro

In this episode, we discuss the recent diagnosis of actor Bruce Willis with frontotemporal dementia, a type of dementia that affects the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain. We delve into the symptoms, diagnosis process, and available treatments for FTD, as well as the differences between FTD and other neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's. Additionally, we explore the impact of FTD on Willis's career and personal life, as well as the importance of early diagnosis and brain health.

Historically, it was believed that the brain stopped growing after childhood. We now know the contrary to be true. Neuroscience has confirmed that our brains change throughout our lives, from birth to death. The brain’s ability to rewire its circuitry and make adaptive changes, known as neuroplasticity, is why recovery after injury is possible.

But much about neuroplasticity is not well understood. Our researchers are using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and real-time neurofeedback capabilities to conduct several novel pilot studies. Their goal is to correlate changes in the brain to changes in behavior and function.

WHAT IS HAPPENING?

I interview David F. Walker: author, filmmaker, educator, and recent winner of TWO 2022 Eisner Awards.

I'm your host, Wendy: a researcher and semiotician with chronic illness who has memory problems and periodic aphasia.  I'm learning how to draw before I lose my ability to talk...and hoping I can eke out an eventual graphic memoir. Even if it ends up being wordless.

WHAT JUST HAPPENED?

•I explain some of my limitations and try to encapsulate David's gargantuan bio. 

•I interview David F. Walker, and luckily he speaks for the majority of the recording. (make sure to check the recording Chapters if you're looking for specific topics)

•I sum things up and point you back to these show notes.

•I thank very cool and caring folks that support me, and ask you to come back.

We curse A BIT; it cannot be helped. Retreat unscathed if this is unacceptable.  Discussed: disability, Covid, creativity, David's 3 P's, making folks uncomfortable, ... I can't remember what else.

Aphasia is an acquired condition that affects a person's ability to speak, write and understand language. The condition has been in the news ever since it was cited as the reason for Bruce Willis' recent retirement from acting.

What do we know about aphasia; its causes, symptoms and what can be done to help those who are affected by it?

A recent episode of Baptist Health's Resource Live program, hosted by Jonathan Fialkow, M.D., delved into this complex and debilitating condition.

Guests:

• Felipe De Los Rios La Rosa, M.D., director of the stroke program at Baptist Health's Miami Neuroscience Institute
• Denise Vargas, speech pathologist at Baptist Health. 

Joined with the head of the SLP department, Bob Serianni, a client shares his story and how he ended up at the SLI with a student clinician and preceptor.

WHAT IS HAPPENING

 Each episode demonstrates  that I sorely need an interviewer.  I'm a smart-ass researcher with chronic illness who has memory problems, thinking problems, and progressive trouble speaking.  PERFECT recipe for an award winning audio experience!  I am researching my own past and memoir project through interviews and 12+ years of voice memos I left to myself.  The practice speaking helps me with re-hab.  For more explanation please check out the introductory episode of Monstrorum Historia: #00.

WHAT JUST HAPPENED

There's much more work to interrogating my voice memo cache than what is reflected in this podcast. But hey: logging and transcribing, and backing up, and structurally analyzing and psychoanalyzing hours and years of recordings is not the type of audio experience I imagine listeners want.

They want Future Wendy making fun of Past Wendy!

• I decide to share part of my work of sifting through hundreds of voice memos.
• I randomly pick a memo called "Couch Park" named by GPS. 
• It's only about 3 minutes tops, and I interject to give context and make fun of myself.
• I attempt to explain why I'm stunned, and how doing this feels very terrible, yet I emerge curious.
• I thank my supportive Patrons who engage with my larger project of a graphic memoir.

I curse a bit; cannot be helped. Retreat unscathed if this is unacceptable.  Discussed: aphasia, memory loss, voice memos... I can't remember what else.

WHAT IS HAPPENING?

In this episode of the Monstrorum Historia podcast,  I interview Jake Goldsmith, founder of the Barbellion Prize. I'm Wendy: a researcher with chronic illness who has memory problems and has trouble speaking. 

WHAT JUST HAPPENED?

•I explain some of my cognitive and speaking limitations. 

•I interview Jake Goldsmith, and luckily he speaks for the majority of the recording.

•I almost pass out after the interview ends, which was convenient and I hope caused much sympathy yawning.

•I thank very cool and caring folks that I've given funny names to.

I curse a bit; cannot be helped. Retreat unscathed if this is unacceptable.  Discussed: disability politics, creativity, publishing, abelism, solidarity, making folks uncomfortable, ... I can't remember what else.

WHAT IS HAPPENING

This is the introductory episode of Monstrorum Historia. I'm a researcher with chronic illness who has memory problems and has trouble speaking. PERFECT recipe for an award winning audio experience.

WHAT JUST HAPPENED

• I explain some of my cognitive and speaking limitations. 
• I describe the purpose of the podcast, and the aim of the larger project it attaches to. 
• I almost pass out mid episode, which I think more people should find attractive.
• I badly recite some Montaigne,
•  become confused a few times, 
• and basically display how I have to make fun of myself and my situation because any other response is too tedious to listen to.

I curse a bit; cannot be helped. Retreat unscathed if this is unacceptable.  Discussed: aphasia, memory loss, drawing... I can't remember what else.
