[Incidence of structural vocal fold abnormalities associated with vocal fold polyps.

Unlabelled: Phonotrauma is considered the main cause of vocal fold polyps (VFP). However, the authors believe that an underlying anatomical deviation could render the vocal folds more susceptible to such trauma.

Aim: To prove this hypothesis a retrospective chart review was carried out to correlate the surgical findings of patients with VFP.

A study of the histological behavior of a rabbit vocal fold after a hyaluronic acid injection.

Unlabelled: The vocal fold structure is composed of tissues with many cells surrounded by the extra-cellular matrix. One of the most important components of the extra-cellular matrix is Hyaluronic Acid (HA). The aim of the study was to evaluate the inflammatory response of rabbit vocal folds after a local injection of Restylane HA.
