2. 1. Semantic Spaces of Clinical Text : Leveraging Distributional Semantics for Natural Language Processing of Electronic Health Records

   Author : Aron Henriksson; Hercules Dalianis; Martin Duneld; Jussi Karlgren; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; distributional semantics; random indexing; semantic space; electronic health records; clinical text; synonyms; diagnosis codes; adverse drug reactions; Computer and Systems Sciences; data- och systemvetenskap; IT for health; IT för hälsa; datorlingvistik; Computational Linguistics; datalogi; Computer Science;

   Abstract : The large amounts of clinical data generated by electronic health record systems are an underutilized resource, which, if tapped, has enormous potential to improve health care. Since the majority of this data is in the form of unstructured text, which is challenging to analyze computationally, there is a need for sophisticated clinical language processing methods.

4. 2. From Disorder to Order : Extracting clinical findings from unstructured text

   Author : Maria Skeppstedt; Hercules Dalianis; Gunnar Nilsson; Beáta Megyesi; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Text mining; named entity recognition; clinical language processing; Computer and Systems Sciences; data- och systemvetenskap;

   Abstract : Medical disorders and findings are examples of important information in health record text. Through developing methods for automatically extracting these entities from the health record text, the possibility of making use of the information by automatic computerised processes increases.

   Abstract : Impairments of visuospatial attention, language, and processing speed (PS) are common early after stroke and have been associated with unfavorable short-term functional outcomes but little is known about this relationship in the long-term. This thesis investigates 1) the potential importance of visuospatial inattention (VSI) and language impairments (LI) as predictors of functional outcomes 7 years after an ischemic stroke (studies I-II) and 2) presence of lateralized inattention 7 years after stroke and potential predictors of this phenomenon (study III).

6. 4. Specific language impairment: Neurophysiological studies of children and their parents

   Author : Marianne Ors; Klinisk neurofysiologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; SPECT; neuropsykologi; neurofysiologi; N400; P300; P3; N1; ERPs; event-related brain potentials; children; developmental language delay; Specific language impairment; language disorder; Neurology; neuropsychology; neurophysiology; Neurologi;

   Abstract : Specific language impairment (SLI) is commonly described as a condition where a child with otherwise normal development and hearing does not acquire language as expected. Children with SLI often have a family history of language disorders. The aetiology is poorly understood. READ MORE

7. 5. Language Processing and Contextual Influence. A study of Swedish preschool children with language impairment

   Author : Christina Reuterskiöld; foniatri och audiologi Logopedi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; auditive system and speech; audiology; Otorhinolaryngology; naming; idioms; narration; genres; nonword repetition; context; language impairment; Otorinolaryngologi; audiologi; hörsel- och talorganen;

   Abstract : Language Processing and Contextual Influence A Study of Swedish Preschool Children with Language Impairment The aim of the present work was to study different types of contextual influence on language performance in a variety of tasks: repetition of nonwords, narration, understanding of idioms and picture naming in a group of Swedish preschool children with language impairment (LI). The stress pattern of words and nonwords was found to have an impact on the repetition performance of the participants. READ MORE
