Clinical Study Using Innovative Acoustic Analysis to Predict the Postoperative Outcomes of Unilateral Vocal Fold Paralysis

by Yung-An Tsou , Yi-Wen Liu , Wen-Dien Chang , Wei-Chen Chen , Hsiang-Chun Ke , Wen-Yang Lin , Hsing-Rong Yang , Dung-Yun Shie , Ming-Hsui Tsai
"... Objective. Autologous fat injection laryngoplasty is ineffective for some patients with iatrogenic vocal fold paralysis, and additional laryngeal framework surgery is often required. An acoustically measurable outcome predictor for lipoinjection laryngoplasty would assist phonosurgeons in formulati ..."
Abstract - Add to MetaCart
in formulating treatment strategies. Methods. Seventeen thyroid surgery patients with unilateral vocal fold paralysis participated in this study. All subjects underwent lipoinjection laryngoplasty to treat postsurgery vocal hoarseness. After treatment, patients were assigned to success and failure groups

Clinical Study Articulatory Changes in Vowel Production following STN DBS and Levodopa Intake in Parkinson’s Disease

by Vincent Martel Sauvageau, Johanna-pascale Roy, Léo Cantin, Mélanie Langlois, Joël Macoir
"... Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. Purpose. To investigate the impact of deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus (STN DBS) and levodopa intake on vowel articulation in dysarthric s ..."
Abstract - Add to MetaCart
articulation was measured using acoustic vowel space and formant centralization ratio. Results. Compared to the period before surgery, vowel articulation was reduced after surgery when patients were off-medication, while it was better on-medication.The impact of levodopa intake on vowel articulation changed

Spectral-Cepstral Estimation of Dysphonia Severity: External Validation

by Shaheen N. Awan, Phd Nancy, Pearl Solomon, Phd Leah, B. Helou, Alexander Stojadinovic Md
"... Objectives: The current study applied an acoustic algorithm incorporating measures from cepstral and spectral analyses, the Cepstral Spectral Index of Dysphonia (CSID), in an attempt to externally validate the CSID as an acoustic estimate of dysphonia severity. Methods: Correlation (Pearson’s r) bet ..."

) between the CSID and trained listener–perceived severities as rated on the Consensus Auditory-Perceptual Evaluation of Voice (CAPE-V) was calculated from sentence and sustained vowel samples from 56 patients before or after they underwent thyroid surgery. Results: A strong correlation was identified

Response to triiodothyronine as index of persistence of disease in the thyroid remnant of patients in remission from hyperthyroidism

by C. Werner , 1956
"... The present study was designed to determine the duration of activity of disease in the thyroid remnant of patients in sustained remission follow-ing treatment for hyperthyroidism. Failure of I-131 uptake to be decreased significantly by triiodothyronine administration was used as the criterion of pe ..."

OPERATOR-RELATED RISK FACTORS OF ANASTOMOTIC LEAKS AFTER COLORECTAL SURGERY: AN UP-TO-DATE

by Alexandra Caziuc, George Calin Dindelegan, Aurel Mironiuc
"... Digestive fistulas are a major complication after digestive surgery. Anastomotic leakage increases the hospitalization time, the prognosis and survival rate after colorectal surgical interventions. The factors involved are either systemic (determined by the patients ’ co-morbidities), or local (vici ..."

Effects of a Music Therapy Voice Protocol on Speech Intelligibility, Vocal Acoustic Measures, and Mood of Individuals with Parkinson's Disease

by Eri Haneishi
"... This study examined the effects of a Music Therapy Voice Protocol (MTVP) on speech intelligibility, vocal intensity, max imum vocal range, maximum duration of sustained vowel phonation, vocal fundamental frequency, vocal fundamental frequency variability, and mood of individuals with Parkin son&apos ..."

Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy for Morbid Obesity: The Future of Bariatric Surgery?

by Salman Yousuf Guraya, Khalid Rida Murshid, Al Madina, Al Munawara, Saudi Arabia , 2011
"... The incidence of obesity has significantly increased worldwide. Surgery has proven to be the most effective long-term treatment for sustained weight loss and improvement of co-morbidities in morbidly obese patients. Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is a relatively new procedure for weight loss ..."

ORIGINAL ARTICLE VOICE QUALITY AFTER CO2 LASER CORDECTOMY—WHAT CAN WE REALLY EXPECT?

by unknown authors , 2007
"... Abstract: Background. Endoscopic management of laryn-geal carcinoma has gained popularity among laryngologists based on the good oncologic and functional results. We eval-uated the voice quality after laser cordectomy for early glottic cancer in a variety of vocal situations and its relation with th ..."

by a speech pathologist on a running speech sample [GRBAS (grade, roughness, breathiness, asthe-nicity, strain)]. Acoustic analysis included fundamental fre-quency (F0), jitter, shimmer, noise to harmonic ratio (N/H), and maximum phonation time (MPT) on the sustained vowels /a / and /i/, and on various

Analysis of speech and tongue motion in normal and post-glossectomy speaker using cine MRI

by J Appl , Oral Sci 472 , Jinhee Ha , Iel-Yong Sung , Jang-Ho Son , Maureen Stone , Robert Ord , Yeong-Cheol Cho
"... Since the tongue is the oral structure responsible for mastication, pronunciation, and swallowing functions, patients who undergo glossectomy can be affected in various aspects of these functions. The vowel /i/ uses the tongue shape, whereas /u/ uses tongue and lip shapes. The purpose of this study ..."

lingual tumors. The speech tasks "a souk" and "a geese" were spoken by all subjects providing data for the vowels /u/ and /i/. Cine MRI and speech acoustics were recorded and measured to compare the changes in the tongue with vowel acoustics after surgery. 2D measurements were made

The Therapeutic Role of Monocyte Chemoattractant Protein-1 in a Renal Tissue Engineering Strategy for Diabetic Patients

by Hao Yin, Ming Gao, Lara Leoni, Huifang Han, Xing Zhang, Zhiren Fu
"... In this study we aim to boost the functional output of the intra-kidney islet transplantation for diabetic patients using a tissue engineered polymeric scaffold. This highly porous electrospun scaffold featured randomly distributed fibers composed of polycaprolactone (PCL) and poliglecaprone (PGC). ..."
