Item performed using responses 100 problems 159 control subjects. 10 most robust were selected item results form Index-10 (VHI-10). Statistical comparing validity VHI-10 819 representing a wide...
Health-related quality of life (QOL) provides a measure the patient's perception his after treatment. This study was undertaken to assess changes in QOL and swallowing patients undergoing concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CR) for head neck cancer. The assessment tools consisted Head Neck Radiotherapy Questionnaire (HNRQ) questionnaire (SQ).The HNRQ SQ were administered group CR prior treatment (n = 58), last week 37), 6 months 27). Weight change monitored subjects.The results indicate that...
An aging population experiences an increase in age-related problems, such as presbyphonia. The causes of pathologic presbyphonia are incompletely understood.To determine what distinguishes from presbylaryngis.This was a cohort study at outpatient otolaryngology subspecialty clinic tertiary academic referral center.

Abstract Botulinum toxin has been previously reported to be successful in the treatment of spasmodic dysphonia. To objectively document results, 11 patients with adductor dysphonia who received unilateral thyroarytenoid muscle were studied. Acoustic analyses and airflow rates during sustained phonation flexible videoendoscopy performed prior to, 1 week month after injection. 1. parameters demonstrated significant voice improvement, although abnormal characteristics remained. 2. Mean...
Successful treatment of bilateral vocal fold lesions depends on the accuracy diagnosis. For example, preferred for nodules is voice therapy: in contrast. a unilateral lesion with contralateral reactive (UVFL/RL) usually involves phonosurgery and therapy. Differentiation between UVFL/ RL often challenging. The purpose this study was to facilitate diagnostic improve patients by attempting identify distinct features either or UVFL/RL acoustic, aerodynamic, stroboscopic, patient self-perception...
The current cross-sectional study aimed to investigate risk factors for dysphagia in elderly individuals aged care facilities.A total of 878 from 42 facilities were recruited this study. dependent outcome was speech therapist-determined swallowing function. Independent Eating Assessment Tool score, oral motor assessment Mini-Mental State Examination, medical history, and various functional status ratings. Binomial logistic regression used identify independent variables associated with...
