Over 3 million teachers in the United States use their voice as a primary tool of trade and are thought to be at higher risk for occupation-related disorders than general population. However, estimates regarding prevalence population vary considerably. To determine extent that greater disorders, 2,531 randomly selected participants from Iowa Utah (1,243 1,288 nonteachers) were interviewed by telephone using disorder questionnaire. Prevalence-the number cases per specific time-was determined....
To examine the frequency and adverse effects of voice disorders on job performance attendance in teachers general population, 2,401 participants from Iowa Utah ( n 1 =1,243 2 =1,279 nonteachers) were randomly selected interviewed by telephone using a disorder questionnaire. Teachers significantly more likely than nonteachers to have experienced multiple symptoms signs including hoarseness, discomfort, increased effort while their voice, tiring or experiencing change quality after short use,...
Purpose The Consensus Auditory-Perceptual Evaluation of Voice (CAPE-V) was developed to provide a protocol and form for clinicians use when assessing the voice quality adults with disorders (Kempster, Gerratt, Verdolini Abbott, Barkmeier-Kramer, & Hillman, 2009). This study examined reliability empirical validity CAPE-V used by experienced judging normal disordered voices. Method in 2 ways. First, we compared judgments made 21 raters 22 37 voices using GRBAS (grade, roughness,...
Abstract Objective The objective was to assess the histological and viscoelastic shear tissue properties of scarred vocal fold lamina propria at 2 6 months postoperatively in a canine model. Study Design Experimental, nonrandomized prospective study. Methods Six larynges were injured using stripping procedure. At postoperatively, analyses control samples completed for collagen, procollagen, elastin, hyaluronic acid. Results In canines killed months, contained increased procollagen decreased...
Objective: The objective of this study was to examine the relationship between laryngeal aerodynamics, acoustics, and hypernasality in children with cleft palate or without lip (CP ± L). Method: This used a prospectively performed cross-sectional design. Fifty-six ages 6 17 years CP L participated ( M age = 11.7, SD 3.4; male 32, female 24). Children were separated into four groups based on auditory-perceptual ratings made using Cleft Audit Protocol for Speech-Augmented-Americleft...
Chemically modified hyaluronic acid (HA)–gelatin hydrogels have been documented to support attachment, growth, and proliferation of fibroblasts in vitro facilitate repair engineering tissues vivo. The objective this study was determine the optimal composition a synthetic extracellular matrix (sECM) that would promote wound induce tissue regeneration rabbit vocal fold healing model. sECM formed using thiol-modified semisynthetic glycosaminoglycan (GAG) derived HA (Carbylan™-SX) mixed with...
Purpose Clinical trials have demonstrated that standardized voice treatment programs are effective for some patients, but identifying the unique individual ingredients specifically responsible observed improvements remains elusive. To address this problem, authors used a taxonomy of therapy, Rehabilitation Treatment Specification System (RTSS), and Delphi process to develop RTSS-Voice (expert consensus categories measurable targets). Method Initial targets were derived from therapy. Through...
A prospective, controlled animal study was performed to determine whether the use of injectable, chemically modified hyaluronic acid (HA) derivatives at time intentional vocal fold resection might facilitate wound repair and preserve unique viscoelastic properties extracellular matrix.We bilateral biopsies on 33 rabbits. Two groups rabbits were unilaterally treated with 2 different HA derivatives--Carbylan-SX HA-DTPH-PEGDA--at resection. Saline injected as a control into contralateral fold....
To determine if quality of life (QOL) is affected in children with velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI).Interview and survey.Two university pediatric ambulatory centers.This population-based sample included 58 children, aged 5 to 17 years, their parents; 29 the were diagnosed as having VPI age-matched normal controls.Each participant (child parent) completed 2 questionnaires: Velopharyngeal Insufficiency Quality Life (VPIQL), an instrument specifically designed for VPI, Pediatric Inventory,...
Abstract Objectives: The purpose of this study was to measure and compare biomechanical properties commonly used vocal fold injectates Cymetra, Radiesse, Restylane, Hylaform, one investigational injectate, Carbylan‐GSX 5%, determine suitability for mucosal injection. Study Design: Rheologic investigation. Methods: Oscillatory shear stress applied five samples each injectate using a parallel plate controlled rheometer. Shear stress, strain, strain rate associated with the oscillatory...
Abstract Objectives/Hypothesis. To determine the effectiveness of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (BM‐MSC) transplantation in isolation or within a synthetic extracellular matrix (sECM) for tissue regeneration scarred vocal fold lamina propria. Methods. In vitro stability and compatibility mouse BM‐MSC embedded sECM was assessed by flow cytometry detection marker expression proliferation. Eighteen rats were subjected to injury bilaterally, followed 1 month post‐treatment with unilateral...
