Abstract Purpose To assess the efficacy of posterior pharyngeal wall augmentation using septal or conchal cartilages with other bulks—according to persistent gap and individual anatomy each patient—in improving velopharyngeal function in patients who acquired insufficiency (VPI) post-adenoidectomy. Methods Observational descriptive prospective case series 24 (their ages ranged between 3 26 years) developed VPI post-adenoidectomy (more than months) although they had normal speech resonance...

The product designer faces many choices, problems to solve, ideas evaluate or analyze, and he has make logical decisions. These activities are usually influenced by the designer's internal external factors such as biases, incomplete information, distortions prejudices, which may lead misleading solutions choices. Therefore, following a critical thinking approach that includes studying problems, examining available options logically evaluating them decisions can change way of reach best...

Management of severe velopharyngeal dysfunction is best performed by a multispecialty team. This team could include speech-language pathologist, otolaryngologist, prosthodontist, and plastic surgeon. The most commonly surgical procedures in complicated cases with scarred soft palate are sphincter pharyngoplasty pharyngeal flaps.

Abstract Previous research has demonstrated differences in the acoustic features of crying signals between deaf and typical hearing (TH) infants. This study aims at comparing parameters cries infants with different degrees deafness versus TH About 110 aged 6–12 months (61 infants, 34 bilateral variable 15 unilateral deafness) were enrolled study. Results indicated that most important to demonstrate difference hard-of-hearing (DHH) as well are F0, cry duration, intensity, F2, F4. In terms...

Abstract The preparation of affordable glass-ceramic materials by induced crystallization glass-based mica schists and other natural raw (dolomite & limestone), as well magnesite a mine waste, was investigated for the first time. Five glass batches were designed based on eutectic composition diopside-anorthite ratio with increasing enstatite content from 0–40 wt.% within quaternary CaO–MgO–Al 2 O 3 –SiO system. After melting at 1400 to 1500 ˚ C, casting into discs rod shapes, annealing...
