The Yale Swallow Protocol is an evidence-based protocol that is the only screening instrument that both identifies aspiration risk and, when passed, is able to recommend specific oral diets without the need for further instrumental dysphagia testing. Based upon research by Drs. Steven B. Leder and Debra M. Suiter, an easily administered, reliable and validated swallow screening protocol was developed and can be used by speech-language pathologists, nurses, otolaryngologists, oncologists, neurologists, intensivists and physicians assistants. In addition, the protocol can be used in a variety of environments, including acute care, rehabilitation and nursing homes. The Yale Swallow Protocol meets all of the criteria necessary for a successful screening test, including being simple to administer, cross-disciplinary, cost effective, acceptable to patients and able to identify the target attribute by giving a positive finding when aspiration risk is present and a negative finding when aspiration risk is absent. Additionally, early and accurate identification of aspiration risk can significantly reduce health-care costs associated with recognized prandial aspiration. Clinical Management of Speech Sound Disorders: A Case-Based Approach begins with a review of the application and significance of case-based or problem-cased learning in the field of speech-language pathology. This comprehensive resource is organized by intervention approach and includes helpful case studies and videos. Designed for the speech sound disorders course, Clinical Management of Speech Sound Disorders: A Case-Based Approach combines foundational knowledge, clinical theory and principles, evidence-based practice, and practical insight into clinical management strategies. Case-based learning serves as a cornerstone of this resource, facilitating critical thinking and problem solving in a clinical context through the use of clinical vignettes and applications. Accompanying video segments highlight assessment and intervention strategies and are designed to be utilized to support and enhance instruction and student learning.

This invaluable reference provides clinicians caring for stroke patients with ready access to the optimal evidence for best practice in stroke prevention, acute stroke treatment, and stroke recovery. Now an edited volume, the editors and authors, many of whom are members of the Cochrane Stroke Review Group, describe all available medical, endovascular, and surgical treatments the rationale for using them and the strength of the evidence for their safety and effectiveness. New chapters cover key, rapidly advancing therapeutic topics, including prehospital stroke care and regionalized stroke systems, endovascular reperfusion therapy, and electrical and magnetic brain stimulation to enhance recovery. This is an essential resource for clinicians translating into practice the many dramatic advances that have been made in the treatment and prevention of stroke, and suggesting the most appropriate interventions.
