Abstract Objective Platelet‐rich plasma (PRP) is rich in growth factors and easily obtained from blood samples. Long‐term data after PRP injection into the larynx should be improved. This study reports short‐term (3 months) long‐term (12 voice results injection. Materials Methods Sixty‐three patients with scars ( n = 34), sulcus vocalis 17), recalcitrant nodules 5), atrophy 4), or a combination...

Objective(s): The aim of this study is to explore if there a correlation between the typical voice classification and morphometric characteristics vocal folds, using video laryngeal stroboscopy, on professional singers in Greece. Methods: 70 singers, 50% men (35 men) women women), were recruited for study. A stroboscopic evaluation was prepared every participant. Additionally, features individu...

This American Head and Neck Society (AHNS) consensus statement discusses the techniques of laryngeal examination for patients undergoing thyroidectomy and parathyroidectomy. It is intended to help guide all clinicians who diagnose or manage adult patients with thyroid disease for whom surgery is indicated, contemplated, or has been performed. This consensus statement concludes that flexible tra...

The contribution presents information on the experimental investigation of the glottal sound source with excised human larynges. The vocal fold vibrations were excited by airflow and monitored acoustically, electroglottographically as well as by means of laser vibrometry, pressure transducers, videokymography and stroboscopy techniques. The paper is focused on 1) presenting a method for monitor...

In this paper we present novel approaches for the computer aided diagnosis of leukoplakia on the vocal folds based on video endoscopic images of the larynx. The approaches applied for the classification of the vocal fold surface tissue are texture analysis methods, which have been enhanced to use spatial information as well as color information in one combined color texture approach. The multis...

The purpose of the present study was to obtain detailed photographic sequences and lip motion data on which lip models for brass instruments may be more accurately based. The study expands upon an earlier study by Martin @J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 13, 305–307 ~1942!# by using advanced fiber-optic stroboscopy, a real instrument mouthpiece, and by studying two dynamic levels. The trombone was selected ...
