Subjective and objective screening measures for dysphonia pre-thyroidectomy
… been a link established between post-surgical dysphonia and thyroidectomy procedures and various studies identify that a large percentage of these patients have dysphonia after surgery. Most of these incidences of dysphonia resolve six months after the procedure, but there are reported cases of …

Automatic voice disorder recognition using acoustic amplitude modulation features
An automatic dysphonia recognition system is designed that exploits amplitude modulations (AM) in voice using biologically-inspired models. This system recognizes general dysphonia and four subclasses: hyperfunction, A-P squeezing, paralysis, and vocal fold lesions. The models developed represent …

TARGETING FIBROBLAST-MATRIX INTERACTIONS TO TREAT VOCAL FOLD SCARRING
… burden. The greatest refractory cause of dysphonia, defined as poor voice, after laryngeal injury is vocal fold (VF) scarring, which typically follows upper airway trauma or iatrogenic injury. After initial VF damage, immune cells infiltrate the wound bed and secrete various cytokines, …

Examining the Links Among Motor Symptoms in Hyperfunctional Voice Disorders, Auditory Discrimination, and Auditory-Motor Function
Voice disorders are experienced by nearly a third of people at some point in their lifetimes. Recent evidence suggests impaired auditory-motor function may be a factor in the development or evolution of hyperfunctional voice disorders (HVDs), the most common category. The series of studies outlined …
