This review provides a comprehensive compilation, from a digital image processing point of view of the most important techniques currently developed to characterize and quantify the vibration behaviour of the vocal folds, ...

The objective of this study was to investigate the morphological and immunohistochemical characteristics of vocal fold nodules. The study design was prospective and retrospective. For the histological study, we reviewed ...

Objective: to determine the sectorial concentration of fibrous matrix along the vocal folds of the elderly. Methods: Thirteen fresh vocal folds were removed from 13 cadavers. The subjects were divided into two groups: ...

Objectives. Phonation into a tube is a widely used method for vocal training and therapy. Previous studies and practical experience show that the phonation becomes easier and louder after such an exercise. The purpose of ...

The evaluation of the Maximum Phonation Times (MPT) verifies the control over the aerodynamic lung forces and the mioelastic laryngeal forces. Lesions on the edge of vocal folds may impair the glottal closing, thus ...

Purpose: Our goal was to test prevailing assumptions about the underlying biomechanical and aeroacoustic mechanisms associated with phonotraumatic lesions of the vocal folds using a numerical lumped-element model of voice ...

Objectives: Injectable corticosteroids have been used in phonosurgery to prevent scarring of the vocal fold because of their effects of wound healing, and to ensure better voice quality. We histologically evaluated the ...
