Speech pathology

However, chemistry, physics, and mathematics stand out as exceptional school subjects given this trend away from pre-requisites. Each of these subjects is still listed as pre-requisite for numerous university degree courses. For example, in the state of Victoria, Australia, the Victorian Tertiary Admission Council s (VTAC) Guide currently features chemistry as a pre-requisite for more than 100 undergraduate studies in the 13 universities. Psychology, traditional Chinese medicine, sports coaching and administration, aerospace, podiatry, speech pathology and information systems ask for school chemistry, but include no explicit chemistry in their university courses of study. 

Many healthcare positions require undergraduate study in a specific field, such as dietetics, medical technology, speech pathology, social work, pharmacy, or physical therapy. (Few of the required courses would overlap with the bioengineering curriculum.) Further graduate work and completion of a certification process often are necessary.

Three examples demonstrate the importance of E3 proteins to nor-mal cell tunction. Proteins that are not broken down owing to a de-fective E3 may accumulate to create a disease of protein aggregation such as juvenile and early-onset Parkinson disease. A defect in another member of the E3 family causes Angelman syndrome, a severe neurological disorder diaracterized by mental retardation, absence of speech, uncoordinated movement, and hyperactivity. Conversely, uncontrolled protein turnover can create dangerous pathological conditions. For example, human papilloma virus (HPV) encodes a protein that activates a specific E3 enzyme. The enzyme ubiquitinates the tumor suppressor p53 and other proteins that control DNA repair, which are then destroyed. The activation of this E3 enzvme is observed in more than 90 /u of cervical carcinomas. Thus, the...

In future work, we will evaluate this approach with an early diagnosis database and new tests oriented toward semantic and memory tasks. We will also integrate the described methodologies with automatic analysis methods of drawing and handwriting as well as with automatic analysis of facial features. We will also extend the population of analysis as well as the type of pathology. The first step will be developed with new samples of controlled spontaneous speech from CITA Alzheimer Foundation.

The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association was founded in 1925. However, at the time, most American speech therapists were interested in communication disorders that dealt with aphasia, articulation, and fluency there was little interest in disorders of the voice and larynx. In the late 1930 s and early 1940 s, the Nazi regime forced many European phoniatricians and voice experts to emigrate to the United States. These emigrants initiated U.S. interest in voice pathology, which became a more prominent field of study in the 1980 s.
