Tuberculosis is still the most frequent granulomatous laryngeal disease. Absence of pathognomonic symptoms and change in clinical pattern frequently leads to misdiagnosis and delayed treatment. Hoarseness is the commonest symptom of laryngeal tuberculosis and constitutional symptoms are usually rare. However dysphonia can be caused by many other more common conditions. Hoarseness can be a sympt...

The aim is to compare hysteroscopy, two-dimensional transvaginal ultrasound (2D TVUS), and three-dimensional (3D) Virtual Organ Computer-aided AnaLysis™ (VOCAL) to detect endometrial polyps (EPs) in premenopausal women with abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB). This prospective study was done at Ain Shams Maternity Hospital, Egypt, from March 5, 2015, to December 30, 2015, enrolling 118 premenopausa...

Intoduction: Dysphonia is the main symptom of lesions that affect the larynx. Many of those require surgical treatment. Vocal cord lesions are the most common and the most prevalent indication for laryngeal microsurgery. Aim: To conduct a study of laryngeal lesions and their management by microlaryngoscopy. Materials and methods:The main objective being to highlight the importance of microlaryn...

Voiced speech is a highly complex process involving coupled interactions between the vocal fold structure, aerodynamics, and acoustic field. Reduced-order lumped-element models of the vocal fold structure, coupled with various aerodynamic and acoustic models, have proven useful in a wide array of speech investigations. These simplified models of speech, in which the vocal folds are approximated...

We evaluated the effects of 3 types of noncontingent auditory stimulation (music, white noise, recordings of vocal stereotypy) on 2 children with autism who engaged in high rates of vocal stereotypy. For both participants, the music condition was the most effective in decreasing vocal stereotypy to near-zero levels, resulted in the highest parent social validity ratings, and was selected as mos...

Results: The junctional zone showed basement membrane thickening and the vessels showed endothelial interruptions. Some endothelial cells were degenerated and a few were apoptotic. Endothelial cells showed increased microfilaments with foci of detachment from the underlying basement membrane. Larger blood vessels showed large plump endothelial cells alternating with attenuated ones. There was a...

PURPOSES To investigate the immediate effect of Laryngeal Manual Therapy (LMT) in musculoskeletal pain, in voice and sensations referred to individuals with behavioral dysphonia and individuals without it. METHODS 30 individuals ranging from 18 to 45 years old were selected and sorted into two groups: the dysphonic group (DG) - 15 individuals with functional or organofunctional dysphonia, and...
