A single injection of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) into the vocal folds of patients with glottal insufficiency has been shown to be effective for a few years. However, the long-term therapeutic effect of a single injection of bFGF into the vocal folds has yet to be demonstrated. In this study, the therapeutic effect of a single injection o...

Adult subjects with isolated growth hormone deficiency (IGHD) due to a mutation in the growth hormone releasing hormone receptor gene exhibit higher values formant frequencies. In normal subjects, a significant negative association between the formant frequencies and the reduction of linear craniofacial measurements, especially of maxilla and mandi...

Vocal fold paralysis may result from surgical complications, trauma, tumor, or unknown causes. When both cords are affected, paramedian fixation can lead to life-threatening obstruction. Current treatments, including tracheostomy, cordotomy, and arytenoidectomy, compromise speech and swallow function to maintain a safe airway. To preserve all three...

Multiparametric indexes provide a more robust acoustic analysis of voice quality considering more than one acoustic parameter in the evaluation of sustained phonation and continuous speech. However, once the continuous speech is considered, differences among languages must be addressed. To assess the concurrent validity and the diagnostic accuracy ...

Acoustic Voice Quality Index (AVQI) has been reported to be a sensitive tool for discriminating between the normal and dysphonic voices, however, there is a dearth of research focused on investigating the diagnostic accuracy of AVQI in discriminating across the perceptual categories of dysphonia severity ie, slight, moderate, and severe. Hence, the...

To analyze voice changes in 29 women with low pitch during pregnancy. Clinical features, voice characteristics and laryngoscopic signs, changes in hormone levels, and prognosis in 29 women with low pitch during pregnancy were retrospectively analyzed and compared with data from 30 age-matched nonpregnant controls. Compared with controls, there was ...

The most frequently observed type of voice onset in spontaneous speech in normal subjects is the soft onset, and it may be considered as the "physiological" onset. It starts from an immobile narrow glottal slit crossed by a continuous airflow, and then a few oscillations (even a single one in some cases) precede the first glottal closure. It is a t...

Acoustic aspects of emotional expressivity in speech have been analyzed extensively during recent decades. Emotional coloring is an important if not the most important property of sung performance, and therefore strictly controlled. Hence, emotional expressivity in singing may promote a deeper insight into vocal signaling of emotions. Furthermore, ...
