Evaluate the effect of injection laryngoplasty (IL), medialization (ML), and ML combined with arytenoid adduction (ML-AA) on acoustic, aerodynamic, mucosal wave measurements in an excised larynx setup.Comparative case study using ex vivo canine larynges.Measurements were recorded for eight larynges simulated unilateral vocal fold paralysis before after Cymetra. A second set was used to evaluate a Silastic implant without adduction.IL led comparable decreases phonation threshold flow (PTF),...
Objective Evaluate the effect of vocal fold surface dehydration on mucosal wave amplitude and frequency. Study Design Controlled test‐retest. Setting Larynges were mounted an excised larynx phonation system attached to a pseudolung in triple‐walled sound‐attenuated room that eliminated background noise maintained stabilized temperature humidity level. Subjects Methods High‐speed video was recorded for 8 canine larynges during exposure dehumidified air at 20 cm H 2 O. Control trials consisted...
Purpose.: To investigate the variation of macular light sensitivity (MLS) in myopic Chinese adults by using microperimetry. Methods.: MLS was recorded with MP1 microperimeter (Nidek Technologies, Padova, Italy) eyes affected various degrees myopia. Subjects were divided into group A (18–30 years) and B (31–60 years). both age groups further based on refractive status: (1) high myopia (spherical equivalent, SE < −6.00 D); (2) low to moderate (−6.00 D ≤ −1.00 (3) no (−1.00 +0.50). All patients...
Objectives: The minimum airflow necessary to initiate stable vocal fold vibration — Phonation threshold flow (PTF) May increase as exposure dry air increases. A critical period of dehydration may exist after which phonation can no longer be initiated. Methods: We collected PTF data for 11 excised canine larynges mounted on a bench apparatus. Trials consisted cycles 10 seconds followed by 3 rest. During the experimental trials, subglottal comparatively was increased until initiated, and...
This study aims to compare retinal vessel anatomy of normal rhesus monkeys and humans provide a basis from structural perspective for the use monkey as an experimental model in future studies vessels.The retinas six eyes eight human eyecups following corneal transplantation were obtained stained using adenosine diphosphatase methods. The distributions, orders, layers vessels perifoveal vascular ring compared.With staining, distinct fully discernable first order surrounding optic disc fifth...
Objectives: We evaluated the efficacy of titanium vocal fold medializing implant (TVFMI) for treatment unilateral paralysis (UVFP) on basis acoustic, aerodynamic, and mucosal wave measurements in an excised larynx setup. Methods: Measurements were recorded 8 canine larynges with simulated UVFP before after medialization a TVFMI. Results: The phonation threshold flow (p < 0.001) power = 0.008) decreased significantly medialization. pressure also decreased, but this difference was not...
<i>Objective:</i> In this study, a Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) communication based on G.729 protocol was simulated to determine the effects of system acoustic perturbation parameters normal and pathological voice signals. <i>Patients Methods:</i> Fifty recordings 48 affected by laryngeal paralysis were transmitted through VoIP system. The analysis programs CSpeech MDVP used percent jitter shimmer from samples before after transmission. three frequently audio...
<h3>Background:</h3> Team-based care facilitates efficient, evidence-based, patient-centered practice. An outpatient, integrated lactation consultant (LC) and primary provider (PCP) model improves breastfeeding support, yet practices need assistance with implementation. <h3>Method:</h3> Based on experience team-based support at a suburban practice serving mainly well-educated privately insured families, we constructed piloted 6-step needs assessment that informed implementation of the...
Background: A team-based, integrated lactation consultant (LC) and primary care provider (PCP) program improves breastfeeding rates in some outpatient settings, but only a limited number of studies have assessed efficacy socioeconomically racially diverse communities. Objectives: Following implementation team-based LC/PCP at Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC), quality improvement efforts utilization, rates, patient satisfaction. Method: retrospective chart review examined feeding...
