Impairments in the ability of elderly people to comprehend affective prosody have been reported, but little is known about relationship between prosodic comprehension and age-related changes hearing cognition. The Aprosodia Battery, which included an assessment attitudinal comprehension, was used compare affective-prosodic young subjects investigate results selected neuropsychological measures. As a group, healthy were impaired relative on all tasks assessing prosody. Variability within...
Emerging data suggest that noninvasive voice biomarker analysis is associated with coronary artery disease. We recently showed a vocal was hospitalization and heart failure in patients failure. evaluate the association between invasively measured indices of pulmonary hypertension (PH). Patients were referred for an invasive cardiac hemodynamic study January 2017 December 2018, had their voices recorded on three separate occasions to smartphone prior each study. A pre-established determined...
<b><i><i>Objective:</i></i></b> To assess the ability of patients with AD to produce, repeat, and comprehend affective prosody in relationship severity dementia, aphasic deficits, changes emotional behaviors. <b><i><i>Methods:</i></i></b> An Aprosodia Battery was used affective-prosodic performance identify patterns deficits communication. In addition, presence aberrant behaviors, depression, aphasia were assessed using standardized assessment tools. <b><i><i>Results:</i></i></b> Patients...
This study evaluated the ability to produce and comprehend affective prosody across age groups compared patterns of impaired performance deficits observed after focal brain damage. Sixty-nine healthy subjects, ages 22 83 years, were given Aprosodia Battery, a test that distinguishes between prosodic processing following rightversus left-brain damage through use stimuli with progressively reduced verbal articulatory content. Production prosody, measured by variation in fundamental frequency,...
<h3>Importance</h3> Refractory chronic cough is a debilitating condition with limited therapeutic options. Laryngeal botulinum toxin type A (BtxA) has been anecdotally reported to benefit patients cough. We report on our experience the use of BtxA for treatment refractory <h3>Objective</h3> To describe effects electromyography (EMG)-guided thyroarytenoid (TA) injection <h3>Design, Setting, and Participants</h3> For this single tertiary referral center retrospective case series, we included...
Objective(s): To quantify and compare pre-procedure worry versus the experience of pain, gagging, dyspnea during in-office laryngoscopy procedures in patients who did or not receive anxiolytics, to explore patient perception intra-procedure interventions. Methods: Patients undergoing awake laryngology at a quaternary care center were enrolled. The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) Y1 Y2 questionnaires administered establish baseline levels state anxiety trait anxiety, respectively....
Abstract Introduction Acoustic analysis of speech has discriminated decompensated acute heart failure (HF). Speech rate (SR) and cepstral peak prominence (CPP) variation are among features previously evaluated. However, the association between SR CPP chronic stable HF with without pulmonary hypertension (PH) as well PH alone have not been studied. Methods Patients evaluated for and/or in outpatient setting recorded a standardized text read out loud from which sentence was extracted analysed...
Aspiration causes or aggravates a variety of respiratory diseases. Subjective bedside evaluations aspiration are limited by poor inter- and intra-rater reliability, while gold standard diagnostic tests for aspiration, such as video fluoroscopic swallow study (VFSS) fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation swallowing (FEES), cumbersome invasive healthcare resource intensive. To develop validate novel machine learning algorithm that can analyze voice features, an objective screening test to predict...
Background/Objectives: Patients with myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) may report abnormalities in voice and speech; however, no formal research has been conducted this area. Methods: An online mixed-methods survey was completed by 687 people ME/CFS. 302 respondents the qualitative component (43.96%). Questions assessed disease experience ME/CFS post-exertional malaise without prompting on specific symptoms. Within results, a search of terms “speech, voice,”...
Deficits in cognition have been repeatedly documented patients with multiple sclerosis (MS), but their ability to comprehend emotional information has received little study. Forty-seven MS and 19 demographic controls the comprehension portion of A prosodia Battery, which is known be sensitive impairments strokes other neurological conditions. Patients also tests hearing, verbal naming, a short cognitive battery, Beck Depression Inventory. were impaired identifying states from prosodic cues....
Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a degenerative neurologic disorder that can affect vocal fold mobility. Our aim was to further elucidate the impact of motion impairment (VFMI) in MSA.Retrospective case series.We undertook retrospective review all MSA patients reporting voice or respiratory symptoms from 1975 2010 at Mayo Clinic Rochester who also received otolaryngologic examination.Thirty-eight demonstrated VFMI. Median duration prior diagnosis 12.0 months (range, 1-60 months). Stridor...
Objective Voice outcomes following medialization laryngoplasty (ML) for unilateral vocal fold paralysis (UVFP) were compared to those who underwent ML plus arytenoid adduction (AA) (ML+AA). Methods Single institution retrospective review of patients with UVFP undergoing and ML+AA (2009–2017). Demographic information history laryngeal procedures collected. Preoperative postoperative Handicap Index‐10 (VHI‐10) Consensus Perceptual Auditory Evaluation (CAPE‐V) assessed. Results Of 236 patients,...
Objective: Leukoaraiosis (LA) is a common finding on MRI scans of the elderly. However, its exact relationship to cognitive decline and dementia in dispute. Because LA involves paracallosal white matter, we sought determine if LA, uncomplicated by ischemic lesions or complaints impairment, associated with loss difficulties interhemispheric integration behavioral functions. Methods: Two hundred fifty-seven deep matter changes were screened. After chart review, 38 patients had 31 gave informed...
External beam radiation to the neck is widely considered a contraindication for thyroplasty due concern infection and implant extrusion. We present case series of our experience regarding performed in previously radiated field.Retrospective study at tertiary academic referral center.Using institution's clinical notes search tool, records from 1999 through 2014 documenting were identified reviewed. Patients who received external operative field prior included. Data including duration...
