Explaining the feedback effect in stuttering: A new thesis
Conditions such as choral reading, delayed or frequency altered auditory feedback, and masking with noise decrease the frequency of stuttering in people who stutter. This effect is known as the feedback effect. This paper proposes that the speech module mediates these effects. When speech stimuli -as feedback, actively engages the speech module in perceptual processes while the module is in the act of producing speech, the speech module enhances fluency in people who stutter. The characteristics of modules and their implications are considered and some suggestions for investigations are made

Comparative Efficacy and Preference of Estrogen Cream or Gel vs. Vaginal Ring Estrogen for Hormone Replacement Therapy in Menopausal Individuals
Menopause is a natural, nonpathological event that occurs due to decreasing estrogen levels that may be achieved naturally or through surgical means. One of the most commonly reported and often painful symptoms of menopause is urogenital atrophy, also known as vaginal atrophy. Symptoms include vaginal pruritus, dyspareunia, dryness, vaginal irritation, dysuria, and tightness associated with thinning and reduced elasticity of the vaginal mucosa. These symptoms can negatively impact the quality of life. Local estrogen therapy is the preferred treatment option due to its minimal systemic absorption, potential as a safe option for menopausal patients with hormone-sensitive conditions, and ease of adjusting the dose depending on the symptom severity. The purpose of this literature review is to compare two common delivery methods, estrogen creams or gels versus the estrogen ring, to determine the most preferred and effective approach for symptom relief. Findings from the articles show that while all local estrogen therapies offer symptom relief, the estrogen ring promotes better patient adherence and satisfaction due to convenience and lower maintenance. Future research could explore the comparative safety and efficacy of local versus systemic hormone replacement therapy, as well as alternative delivery methods such as local estrogen pellets or menopause-specific IUDs. Additionally, studies focusing on the ease of local estrogen administration for patients with mobility issues, such as arthritis or neurological conditions, could provide valuable insight. Results of future studies could support personalized treatment options for menopausal patients seeking effective, localized treatments for vaginal atrophy
The Utility of Pharmacogenetic-Guided Opioid Therapy in Pain Reduction
Chronic pain is one of the most common reasons patients seek care from primary care providers. Individualized responses to pain medications make pain difficult to treat effectively. The purpose of this literature review is to examine the utility of pharmacogenetic-guided opioid therapy across chronic, postoperative, and cancer-related pain. A structured search of PubMed and Embase yielded 151 articles, of which nine met the inclusion criteria. Findings suggest that pharmacogenetic-guided therapy may reduce opioid dosages and enhance pain control, particularly in chronic pain settings. Evidence for postoperative pain outcomes was mixed, and studies on cancer-related pain emphasized the role of genetic variability in predicting adverse effects. Despite promising results, limited testing availability and low provider adherence limit integration into primary care. Further research and system-level improvements are needed to support clinical utility
