Congenital Cytomegalovirus (cCMV) has been associated with hearing, vision, and neurodevelopmental long-term sequelae. Despite the social burden disease, a universally accepted consensus on screening, diagnostic, therapeutic follow-up approaches not reached. The present observational retrospective study aims at describing sequelae radiological abnormalities cCMV in children early identified by extended hearing-targeted screening evaluated audiological single III Level Audiological Referral...
Ambulatory voice monitoring is a promising tool for investigating phonotraumatic vocal hyperfunction (PVH), associated with the development of fold lesions. Since many patients PVH are professional vocalists, classifier was developed to better understand phonatory mechanisms during speech and singing. Twenty singers 20 matched healthy controls were monitored neck-surface accelerometer–based ambulatory monitor. An expert-labeled ground truth data set used train logistic regression on 15...
To evaluate retrospectively the incidence of complications during fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation swallowing (FEES) in 5,680 examinations.5,680 patients were evaluated at Department Otorhinolaryngology, Audiology and Phoniatrics Pisa University Hospital between January 2014 December 2018, involving both inpatients outpatients. Most common comorbidities included neurological pathologies such as stroke (11.8%), neurodegenerative diseases (28.9%) a history previous head neck surgery (24.6%)....
Background and objectives: Otoferlin is a multi-C2 domain protein implicated in neurotransmitter-containing vesicle release replenishment of the cochlear inner hair cell (IHC) synapses. Mutations OTOF gene have been associated with two different clinical phenotypes: prelingual severe-to-profound sensorineural hearing loss (ANSD-DFNB9); peculiar temperature-sensitive auditory neuropathy (TS-ANSD), characterized by baseline mild-to-moderate threshold that worsens to when body temperature rises...
The present study aimed to develop a new tool for the evaluation of singers with self-reported symptoms suggestive laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) (the SVHI-12-LPR), by correlating RSI SVHI in population sample 163 subjects (both professional and amateur singers), evaluated also videolaryngostroboscopy. This was cross-sectional, double-observational study.RSI were administered 159 (amateurs, singing students, singers). All underwent videolaryngostroboscopy objectively identify four subgroups:...
The aim of this study was to adapt and validate the Italian version singing Voice Handicap Index-10 (SVHI-10-IT).99 singers were enrolled in study. All subjects underwent videolaryngostroboscopic examination asked fill out self-reported 10-item SVHI-10-IT. Laryngostroboscopic pathological 56 (study group) (56.6%), while it normal remaining 43 (control (43.4%). Dimensionality, test retest internal validity for SVHI-10-IT performed. Videolaryngostroboscopy used as gold-standard external...
This study proposes a revised version of the Reflux Symptom Index (R-RSI), seventeen-item questionnaire that was to increase suspicion laryngopharyngeal reflux disease (LPRD).
