Aphasia

Article Abstract:

Aphasia is a breakdown in the ability to understand language and to translate thoughts into words that is caused by injuries to the brain. Strokes, head injuries, cerebral tumors, or degenerative neurological diseases such as Alzheimer's disease frequently cause these types of injuries. In the 20th century, the understanding of aphasia has been enhanced by the development of imaging techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging and advances in neurology and psychology. The classic aphasias include Broca's aphasia, Wernicke's aphasia, conduction aphasia, global aphasia and transcortical aphasias. Aphasia patients are diagnosed and evaluated using a standard set of neuropsychological tests. Treatment for aphasia patients is not standardized, and each aphasia patient should receive an individualized treatment program designed by a speech pathologist, a neuropsychologist and a neurologist. Aphasia patients who receive adequate treatment can regain some of their language skills depending on their injury, type of language defects, emotional status and family support.

World without honour?

Article Abstract:

Islamic people worldwide view the US missile launchings against Afghanistan and Sudan as a betrayal of honor. The launchings are seen as an attempt by President Clinton to draw attention away from the sexual scandal involving a White House intern. While Americans are able to separate personal life from public life, Islam teaches that the two and the values governing them are inseparable.
