Neuromuscular induced phonation in a human ex vivo perfused larynx preparation.
Considering differences in laryngeal anatomy, degree of control, and range of voice qualities between animals and humans, investigations of the neuromuscular process of voice control are better conducted using a living human larynx in which parametric stimulation of individual laryngeal muscles is possible. Due to difficulties in access and monitoring of laryngeal muscle activities, such invest...
متن کاملPreliminary Study of the Open Quotient in an Ex Vivo Perfused Human Larynx.
IMPORTANCE Scientific understanding of human voice production to date is a product of indirect investigations including animal models, cadaveric tissue study, or computational modeling. To our knowledge, direct experimentation of human voice production has previously not been possible owing to its invasive nature. The feasibility of an ex vivo perfused human phonatory model has recently allowed...
متن کاملAcoustic Experiments with Wethlo’s Larynx Model
Historic phonetic instruments are useful objects to support the education in speech science. In this paper, we describe the reactivation of mechanical models which served in the past for developing the theories of speech production. At first, larynx models from Wethlo (the cushion pipes) are investigated in practical experiments. We describe the materials and pressure conditions which we found ...
متن کاملComputer modeling and ex vivo experiments with a (saline-linked) irrigated electrode for RF-assisted heating
BACKGROUND Externally irrigated radiofrequency (RF) electrodes have been widely used to thermally ablate tumors in surface tissue and to thermally coagulate the transection plane during a surgical resection. As far as we know, no mathematical model has yet been developed to study the electrical and thermal performance of these electrodes, especially the role of the saline layer that forms aroun...
متن کاملSteerable Intravitreal Inserts for Drug Delivery: In Vitro and Ex Vivo Mobility Experiments
The progress of wet age-related macular degeneration can now be controlled by intravitreal drug injection. This approach requires repeated injections, which could be avoided by delivering the drug to the retina. Intraocular implants are a promising solution for drug delivery near the retina. Currently, their accurate placement is challenging, and they can only be removed after a vitrectomy. In ...
