AB  - Introduction. Studies of language deficits in patients with Broca's aphasia have highlighted agrammatism as a major feature. As the nature of this language deficit is still unknown, further data collection according to the specifics of the particular language is of great importance. Objective. In this paper, we wanted to determine grammatical deficits in Serbian speakers with aphasia. Methods. Using Boston Diagnostic Aphasia Examination, we determined Broca's aphasia on a sample of 20 subjects, aged 47-70. Speech samples were obtained through two tasks: conversation and picture description. The analysis of samples involved determining the type and subtype of all words and their forms; determining the total number and types of clauses, as well as their functions in a given discourse. Also, the argument structure of the verb was identified. The primary and secondary sentence constituents were determined. Results. The results showed that nouns and full verbs dominate in the speech of patients with Broca's aphasia. Nouns are most often used in the nominative case, and verbs in the present tense. The ability to use verbs is related to the complexity of their argument structure. Speech is dominated by short utterances whose full meaning is often difficult to determine. Conclusion. Our data show that almost all patients with Broca's aphasia exhibit grammatical deficits. The general signs of agrammatism are similar to the signs described in other languages. We single out the difficulties in the use of critics as a prominent characteristic of agrammatism in our respondents.
AB  - Istraživanja jezičkih defcita kod pacijenata s Brokinom afazijom istakla su agramatizam kao glavnu karakteristiku. Kako je priroda ovog jezičkog defcita još uvek nepoznata, jasan je značaj daljeg prikupljanja podataka o agramatizmu shodno specifčnostima jezika u kome se ispoljava. Cilj: U ovom radu nastojali smo da utvrdimo gramatičke defcite kod pacijenata s afazijom koji govore srpski jezik. Metode: Uzorak je činilo 20 ispitanika, starosti od 47 do 70 godina, kod kojih je Bostonskim dijagnostičkim testom za afazije utvrđena Brokina afazija. Gramatički defciti su analizirani u uzorcima govora dobijenim na osnovu dva zadatka: 1) konverzacija i 2) opis slike. Analizirane su vrste i podvrste reči i njihovi oblici; određivan je ukupan broj i vrste klauza, kao i njihove funkcije u datom diskursu. U obzir je uzeta i argumentska struktura glagola. Takođe, određeni su primarni i sekundarni rečenični konstituenti. Rezultati: Rezultati su pokazali da u govoru pacijenata s Brokinom afazijom dominiraju imenice i punoznačni glagoli. Imenice su najčešće upotrebljene u nominativu, a glagoli u prezentu. Sposobnost upotrebe glagola povezana je sa složenošću njihove argumentske strukture. U govoru dominiraju kratki iskazi, kojima je često teško odrediti puno značenje. Zaključak: Naši podaci pokazuju da skoro svi pacijenti s Brokinom afazijom ispoljavaju gramatičke defcite. Opšti znaci agramatizma slični su znacima opisanim u drugim jezicima. Izdvajamo teškoće u upotrebi klitika kao posebno značajnu karakteristiku agramatizma kod naših ispitanika.

AB  - Introduction. Agrammatism is a disorder of grammatical structure due to damage to the dominant hemisphere of the brain. Despite numerous studies, the nature of agrammatism has not yet been elucidated. Objective. We aimed to determine the anatomical-clinical correlation of agrammatic aphasia, its characteristics and approaches to treatment. Methods. We accessed electronic databases of Serbian libraries and search engines on the Internet. Printed literature at the University Library in Belgrade was also used. Results. Analysis of the anatomical-clinical correlation of agrammatism showed higher activation of anterior and posterior areas of the brain during the production of verbs with a complex structure of arguments. The lower left frontal cortex plays a primary role in the production of grammatical sentences, while the temporoparietal cortex participates in the lexical processing of the argument structure of verbs and plays a key role in semantic integration. The key features of agrammatism in aphasia are impaired syntactic processing and difficulties in using verbs with a complex argument structure. We pointed out the approaches to the treatment of agrammatism which involve practicing the metalinguistic properties of verbs in terms of their arguments. Conclusion. Although agrammatism is primarily associated with lesions of the frontal cortex, damage to posterior cortical areas also contributes to its occurrence. Deficits in syntactic processing and difficulties in the use of verbs with a complex argument structure are at the heart of agrammatic aphasia. The treatment of agrammatism aims to recover the knowledge of verbs in terms of argument structure and semantic thematic roles.
AB  - Uvod. Agramatizam predstavlja poremećaj gramatičke strukture usled oštećenja dominantne hemisfere mozga. Iako se ovom afazičkom poremećaju u literaturi posvećuje dosta pažnje, njegova priroda još uvek nije dovoljno razjašnjena. Cilj. U radu je dat pregled istraživanja agramatizma s ciljem bližeg određivanja anatomsko-kliničke korelacije i karakteristika agramatičke afazije, kao i razmatranja pristupa tretmanu. Metode. Uvid u relevantnu literaturu izvršen je pristupom elektronskim bazama podataka biblioteka Srbije, kao i upotrebom specijalizovanih pretraživača na internetu. Pored toga korišćena je literatura dostupna u Univerzitetskoj biblioteci u Beogradu. Rezultati. Analizom radova o anatomsko-kliničkoj korelaciji agramatizma utvrđeno je da se pri produkciji glagola sa složenom strukturom argumenata povećava aktivnost anteriornih i posteriornih oblasti mozga uključenih u neuronsku mrežu za jezik. U produkciji gramatičnih rečenica primarnu ulogu ima donji levi frontalni korteks, dok temporoparijetalni korteks učestvuje u leksičkoj obradi argumentske strukture glagola i ima ključnu ulogu u semantičkoj integraciji. Studije posvećene lingvističkoj interpretaciji pokazuju da su ključne karakteristike agramatizma oštećenje sintaksičkog procesiranja i teškoće u upotrebi glagola sa složenom argumentskom strukturom, što uzrokuje smetnje u produkciji i prepoznavanju gramatičnih rečenica. U tretmanu agramatizma izdvajamo pristupe koji su usmereni na restituciju metalingvističkog znanja o jezičkim svojstvima glagola i njihovoj argumentskoj strukturi. Zaključak. Iako se agramatizam primarno vezuje za lezije frontalnog korteksa, njegovoj pojavi doprinose i oštećenja posteriornih kortikalnih oblasti. U osnovi agramatičke afazije nalaze se deficiti sintaksičkog procesiranja i teškoće u upotrebi glagola sa složenom argumentskom strukturom. Tretman agramatizma ima za cilj restituciju znanja o jezičkim svojstvima glagola u pogledu strukture argumenata i semantičkih tematskih uloga u rečenicama.

AB  - Tuberous sclerosis (TSC) is a neurocutaneous disease whichcan affect multiple organs: the brain, skin, eyes, kidneys, lungs and heart. It is an autosomal dominant disorder whichoccurs as a result of mutations in the TSC1 or TSC2 genes. Neurological complications are the most common, and often the most important aspect of TSC. Structural neurological abnormalities include changes in the cerebral cortex in the form of tubers, subependymal nodules and giant cell tumors. Epilepsy affects up to 93% of people with TSC, with severe forms more common than in patients who do not have TSC. In addition to numerous physical manifestations, people with TSC may be affected by a range of behavioural disorders, psychiatric, intellectual, academic, neuropsychological and psychosocial disorders. It is estimated that about 50% of these children can exhibit a certain level of intellectual disability, and in a high percentage (90%) there are attention disorders. Between 30% and 60% of people with TSC meet diagnostic criteria for the autistic spectrum disorders (ASD). Children with TSC and autism demonstrate a profile of social communication impairment that has complete concordance with nonsyndromic ASD. TSC represents an ideal model for achieving progress in understanding and treating the mechanisms that underlie ASD. Although in a large number of children with TSC there is a change of speechlanguage development, there are very few specific neuropsychological or neuroimaging studies of the function of language in TSC. The presence of cerebral lesions or epileptic activity can cause abnormalities or reorganization in the functioning of the language in patients with TSC. In all, TSC is mostly a severe hereditary disorder with multiple comorbidities of cognitive and neurological type and no causal therapy, but also a useful model for studying neural mechanisms of autism and language developmen.
AB  - Tuberozna skleroza (TSC) je neurokutana bolest koja može zahvatiti multiple organe: mozak, kožu, oči, bubrege, pluća i srce. To je autozomno dominantna bolest koja nastaje kao rezultat mutacija u TSC1 ili TSC2 genu. Neurološke komplikacije su najčešći, a često i najvažniji aspekt tuberozne skleroze. Strukturne neurološke abnormalnosti uključuju promene u korteksu u vidu tubera, subependimalne čvoriće i gigantocelularne tumore. Epilepsija pogađa do 93% osoba sa TSC, sa teškim oblicima koji su češći nego kod pacijenata koji nemaju tuberoznu sklerozu. Pored brojnih fizičkih manifestacija osobe koje imaju TSC mogudabudu pogođene nizom promena ponašanja, psihijatrijskim, intelektualnim, akademskim, neuropsihološkim i psihosocijalnim poremećajima. Procenjuje se da se kod oko 50% ove dece može ispoljiti određeni nivo intelektualne ometenosti, a u visokom procentu (90%) su prisutni poremećaji pažnje. Između 30% i 60% osoba sa TSC ispunjava dijagnostičke kriterijume za autistični spektar poremećaja. Deca sa TSC i autizmom imaju identičan profil oštećenja u socijalnoj komunikaciji kao deca sa tzv. idiopatskim autizmom. Tuberozna skleroza se smatra idealnim modelom za postizanje napretka u razumevanju i tretiranju mehanizama koji su u osnovi autizma. Iako kod velikog broja dece sa tuberoznom sklerozom postoji izmenjen govorno-jezički razvoj veoma je mali broj specifičnih neuropsiholoških ili neuroimidžing studija funkcije jezika u tuberoznoj sklerozi. Prisustvo cerebralnih lezija ili epileptična aktivnost mogu izazvati abnormalnosti ili reorganizaciju u funkcionasanju jezika kod pacijenata sa TSC. Uopšte, TSC je uglavnom težak nasljedni poremećaj sa višestrukim komorbiditetima kognitivnog i neurološkog tipa i bez uzročne terapije, ali i koristan model za proučavanje neuronskih mehanizama autizma i razvoja jezika.

AB  - Purpose: Public awareness of aphasia has been surveyed in a number of countries revealing that it is universally low. We report results of surveys in the Balkan countries Serbia and Montenegro and compare results with data from Croatia and Slovenia. Methods: Convenience surveys of the general public were conducted in public places like shopping centers/malls and parks in Serbia (N=400) and Montenegro (N=500) using an adapted version of the public awareness of aphasia survey questionnaire. Respondents were asked whether they have heard of aphasia and tested with questions about aphasia. Information on gender, age, occupation and education was recorded. Outcomes: Twelve percent (Serbia) and 11% (Montenegro) had heard of aphasia, but just 4% (Serbia) and 3.2% (Montenegro) had a basic knowledge of aphasia. Age, gender and occupation interacted variably with awareness. Between 16% (Slovenia) and 60% (Croatia) said they had heard of aphasia (10.5% overall mean for the four countries) and basic knowledge of aphasia across the four countries ranged between 3.2 and 7%. Conclusions: Levels of awareness of aphasia in the Balkans are low and variably associated with age, gender, socio-economic and educational levels. Respondents with some knowledge of aphasia gained it through personal or professional interaction with aphasia or the media. The data provide a basis for awareness raising in Balkan countries to reduce stigmatization, improve community access and understanding. Implications for rehabilitation Awareness of aphasia is low universally, even among healthcare workers. Low public awareness of a condition, like aphasia, results in under-funded research and service provision. In order to raise public awareness of aphasia we need to know how many members of the general public know about it. Improvements in public awareness could positively affect funding, the quality of services, and the public understanding and acceptance of individuals with aphasia in the community. Improving awareness of aphasia in those who come into contact with aphasic people, like healthcare workers, could significantly improve the healthcare experience of people with aphasia and their families.
