Introduction: The Acoustic Voice Quality Index (AVQI) and smoothed Cepstral Peak Prominence (CPPs) have been reported to effectively support the assessing of voice quality in persons seeking care across many languages. This study aims evaluate diagnostic accuracy these two measures detecting disorders American English speakers, comparing their performance machine learning (ML) models. Methods: retrospective included a cohort 187 participants: 138 patients with clinically diagnosed 49 vocally...
To investigate the longitudinal effects of botulinum toxin type A (Botox) injections on voice-related quality life (V-RQOL) for patients with adductory spasmodic dysphonia.Prospective study.Academic tertiary care referral center.Forty-two who presented to our institution dysphonia and were diagnosed as having during a 38-month period.Patients received Botox into both thyroarytenoid muscles via cricothyroid membrane. The typical starting dose was 1.0 U per vocal fold. If necessary, dosage...
Objectives: This study was performed to investigate the effectiveness of treatment globus pharyngeus with proton pump inhibitors, gabapentin, or both. Methods: The subjects all presented during years 2006 2011. inclusion criteria included a chief (primary) complaint pharyngeus; trial inhibitor therapy for at least 2 months and/or gabapentin weeks; and 1 follow-up visit. We reviewed 331 charts; 87 patients met criteria. response graded as none, partial, complete. Results: Seventy-seven...
To assess with computerized tomography (CT) the association of unilateral inverted papilloma (IP) and contralateral sinus inflammation.Retrospective analysis CTfindings in a sample patients IP, other sinonasal tumors, normal controls.Sixteen IP comprised study population. Nine tumors (five squamous papilloma, two cell carcinoma, one each adenocarcinoma large carcinoma) were used as comparison Patients undergoing maxillofacial CTfor nontraumatic orbital conditions control (n = 12 sides). Each...
Objectives/Hypothesis: The present study aims to evaluate the degree of anterior-posterior and medial supraglottic laryngeal compression in healthy singers different voice classifications while singing pitches, loudness, phonatory tasks.Study Design: Prospective study.Methods: Thirty-six classically trained (11 sopranos, 11 mezzo-sopranos, six tenors, eight baritones) with at least 5 years training absence any pathology within past year were included.Flexible endoscopic evaluations recorded...
Spasmodic dysphonia (SD) can be difficult to diagnose, and patients often see multiple physicians for many years before diagnosis. Improving the speed of diagnosis individuals with SD may decrease time treatment improve patient quality life more quickly.To assess whether accurately predicted through auditory cues alone without assistance visual offered by laryngoscopic examination.Single-masked, case-control study at a specialized referral center that included who underwent examination as...
Abstract Objectives were to create a model of recurrent laryngeal nerve injury for testing the efficacy potential therapeutic viral gene therapy vectors and demonstrate that remote injection vector does not cause significant additional neuronal injury. Study Design Animal model. Methods Rats randomly assigned three groups 10 animals each. In group I, was crushed. II, crushed then injected with an adenoviral containing no transgene. III, identified but killed at 1 week, their larynges...
