Inhalation of hot gases, dust particles, and oral contact with glassblower's pipe are the most important factors that can cause chronic inflammation of the u...

Speech monitoring of infective laryngitis

Many types of parameters have been proposed for the evaluation of vocal cord abnormalities by speech waveform analysis. However, none of them taken separately allows a reliable assessment of the presence and the degree of abnormality. In this study we proposed to combine three different parameters which take into account different consequences of the hoarseness. To assess the effectiveness of t...
