[Study on the concordance of objective multi-parameters analysis and perceptual evaluation].

Objective: Through exploring the concordance of objective multi-parameters analysis and perceptual evaluation, to establish an objective multi-parameters evaluation protocol of voice disorder and to make the evaluation of voice objectification and quantification.

Methods: Voice samples from 271 patients (124 female and 147 male)with dysphonia and 69 control subjects with normal voice (37 female and 32 male)were recorded and assessed by a jury composed of 5 experts in phoniatrics from different hospitals. The jury was instructed to classify voice samples according to the G (grade) component of the GRBAS scale on a visual analogue scale secondarily transformed in a 4-point scale ranging from 0 for normal to 3 for severe dysphonia.

Treatment of infantile hemangioma with optimal pulse technology.

Background And Objective: The treatment of infantile hemangioma must address both the effectiveness of the treatment and have as few adverse events as possible for the patient as a result of the therapy. The intense pulsed light (IPL) source can be useful in this regard in treating infantile hemangioma. IPL with optimal pulse technology (OPT) represents a new generation of IPLs and in this clinical investigation, the efficacy and adverse event profiles of treating infantile hemangiomas with an IPL with OPT will be reviewed.
