Introduction: Dysarthria, a motor speech disorder that has a significant impact on communication, requires precise assessmentfor accurate diagnosis and intervention. Although internationally recognised assessment tools exist, many are not culturallyor linguistically adapted for Spanish-speaking populations. The objective of this study was to investigate how speech-languagepathologists (SLPs) in Spain navigate the lack of appropriate dysarthria assessment tools and identify the additional resources andtools required to enhance evaluation practices.Method: This cross-sectional study surveyed 73 licensed SLPs in Spain using a 36-question online questionnaire, collecting dataon a broad spectrum of topics, such as clinical experience, dysarthria assessment tools, tasks, and bilingual/multilingual practices.Descriptive statistical analysis was used to identify and highlight the key trends.

Background: The potential of dietary compounds to enhance the effects of multimodal lifestyle interventions (MLIs) on cognition in individuals at high risk of cognitive impairment remains unclear. Objectives: To assess whether the addition of a green tea extract enriched with epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) enhances the effects of an MLI. Design: Double-blind, randomized, two-arm, and placebo-controlled trial. Exploratory comparisons were made with a non-randomized group (NRG) receiving healthy lifestyle recommendations. Setting: Population-based study conducted in Barcelona, Spain. [...]
