“…Inconstant abnormalities in the erythrocyte magnesium level were revealed in eight of sixteen stutterers under the study (in six of them a decrease and in two others an increase of this blood chemical constituent). These findings confirm the description of magnesium abnormalities in stutterers 12 . Contrarily, no decrease of the serum magnesium level was found in the present study in the group of the stutterers.…”

“…Various biochemical abnormalities represent different pathophysiological factors involved in stuttering (e.g., 3,5,9,10,11 ). A decrease of the magnesium-ion concentration was described in biochemical studies focused on blood ion levels in stutterers 11,12 . Inconstant abnormalities in the erythrocyte magnesium level were revealed in eight of sixteen stutterers under the study (in six of them a decrease and in two others an increase of this blood chemical constituent).…”

“…Different neurophysiological and neurovascular factors 4,8,13 play a role in individual cases of stutterers. In addition to the neurophysiological abnormalities, there are some biochemical ones 2,3,5,9,11,12 , which can be involved in developmental stuttering. Low serum copper level was found in subject with dysarthria with scanning speech, gait disturbances and involuntary movements 6 , and abnormal copper metabolism was described in subjects with spastic dysarthria, dementia, impaired vertical eye movements and gait difficulties 14 .…”

The blood serum copper level and the phonation start were investigated in sixteen male subjects with developmental stuttering (mean age = 25.8 years). A statistically significant decrease in blood serum copper level was revealed in the stutterers under study. The differences between their mode and mean values and that of the control group were 4.6 µmol/l and 3.1 µmol/l, respectively. The negative linear regression between the copper level in serum and the vibratio brevis phenomenon was registered in the stutterers under study. A decreased copper level can be involved in the biochemical abnormalities of male developmental stutterers and it can be included among the factors participating in pathophysiology of an uncertain phonation start.

“…In the pre-school period, physiological stuttering is often seen (31). In previous studies, magnesium, calcium and copper levels have been examined in the blood samples of stuttering patients (32)(33)(34). However, no previous study could be found that has shown a relationship between vitamin D and stuttering.…”

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between vitamin D [25(OH)] values with the language and speech disorders in children. Material and Methods:A total of 200 children were included in the study, comprising 124 children, with stuttering (n=62), functional language disorder (n=40) and articulation disorder (n=22) as the patient group and a control group of 76 healthy children. Vitamin D levels were examined in blood samples taken from both the patient group and the control group.Results: Serum vitamin D levels were determined as 23.68 ± 10.95 in patients with articulation disorder, 17.82 ± 8.28 in patients with functional language disorder, 23.36 ± 10.01 in patients with stuttering, and 26.01 ± 7.4 in the control group. Serum vitamin D values were found to be statistically significantly (p<0.001) lower in children with functional language disorder than in the healthy control group. It was observed that vitamin D decreased as the severity of the stutter increased. Conclusion:According to the results of this study, there can be considered to be an important connection between vitamin D level and functional language disorder. Nevertheless, further studies are needed to confirm these findings in children with language and speech disorders.

“…Yapılan bir çalışmada kekemeliği olan grubun kalsiyum düzeyinin kontrol grubundan daha az olduğu ancak düşük kalsiyum ve magnezyum düzeyleri ile kekemelik şiddeti arasında zayıf bir ilişki olduğu gösterilmiştir. [16,52,53] Bu alanda az sayıda çalışma olduğu için ortaya konulan önerilerin henüz varsayım aşamasındadır ve konu üzerine daha çok çalışma yapılması gerekir.…”

Kekemelik konuşma davranışında değişiklikler, duygular, inançlar, benlik kavramı ve sosyal etkileşim gibi özellikleriyle çok yönlü bir problemdir. Kekemeler daha az kekeledikleri zaman "iyi gün" ve kelimeleri söyleyemedikleri zaman ise "kötü gün"dedirler. Son zamanlardaki araştırmalar, kekemeliğin bir kişi de fiziksel yapı ile çevresel etkenler arasındaki karmaşık ilişkiden kaynaklandığını göstermiştir. Kekemeler, konuşma esnasındaki korku ve kaygı haricinde, psikolojik olarak normal sayılabilirler. Stres ve kaygı kekemeliği artırabilir. Öte yandan, stres altındayken kekelemelerine rağmen kekemelerin çoğu rahat olduklarında akıcı konuşurlar. Kekemelik farklı ekonomik düzeyleri olan insanları etkileyebilir ve bütün dünya da görülebilir. Kekeleme sıklığı, konuşma bozukluğunun çeşidi ve kekemelik ile ilişkili davranış değişiklikleri ya da bunların tipi kişiden kişiye değişir. Sonlanım açısından erken tespit önemlidir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, kekemeliğin nedenleri, yaygınlık, tanı ölçütleri, ayırıcı tanı ve eşlik eden psikiyatrik belirtiler ışığında incelenmesidir.
