Mayo Clinic Dysarthria Website

The title of the Website being reviewed is Dysarthria and its address is http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/dysarthria/DS01175. 2. The website is sponsored by the Mayo Clinic, which is a not-for-profit health care entity that provides information to medical professionals, conducts research, and provides patient care, and is written by the Mayo Clinical Staff, a number of medical and research professionals. 3. The Mayo Clinic specializes in treating difficult health issues and is known for its groundbreaking treatments. This center is consistently placed as one of the best hospitals in the U.S. And devotes close to half of its resources to research. 4. While it is a hospital that encourages new patients, there does not seem to be any economic bias within the website itself and is entirely devoted to the presentation of the latest and most up-to-date information concerning the disease Dysarthria. 5. In fact, the website was last updated on May 24, 2012.

I. The purpose of the website appears to be the presentation of information concerning Dysarthria, and includes information concerning definitions, symptoms, causes, complications, tests and diagnosis, treatments and drugs, as well as coping and support information. II. The Mayo Clinic is a non-profit organization dedicated to the research and treatment of diseases. Not only does it provide information to medical professionals, but it maintains the most up-to-date research on many leading diseases.

III. A. The content of the website is made up of the most recent, peer-reviewed articles and textbooks on the subject and are listed for anyone to access. Many of the articles referenced are also available on other prominent websites like the American Speech Language Hearing Association's (ASHA) page concerning Dysarthria. B. As the Mayo's website is dedicated to the presentation of information on the subject of Dysarthria, it contains a complete and comprehensive packet of information about the disease, the kind of information one could receive from the ASHA, for instance. C. And as it has been updated as recently as May of 2012, it does contain all the most recent advances to be published on the subject. D. When it comes to hyperlinks to other websites, the Mayo Clinic site has few links to other sites, but does contain links to other Mayo Clinic sites where information is available. These include a link to the Mayo Clinic Family Health Book as well as the Mayo Clinic Health Letter. V. In addition, there is a link to the Mayo Clinic Charity support site that requests donations to the Mayo Clinic itself. There is also a link to the American Speech Language Hearing Association (ASHA) itself, which, since it is entirely devoted to speech, language and hearing issues, is the highest authority on the subject of Dysarthria.
