Voice problems, also called hoarseness or dysphonia, can cause significant morbidity with communication difficulties and social isolation. This review summarises the causes and treatment of voice problems. Common causes of voice problems are related to inflammation, non-physiological usage of the voice, benign lesions of the vocal cords and damage to the nerves innervating the larynx.

Validation of the Danish version ofthe Tinnitus Functional Index.

Introduction: Consensus about which questionnaire to use is necessary when it comes to evaluation of tinnitus. In Denmark, the Tinnitus Handicap Index is currently used. However, for evaluating treatment-related outcomes, the Tinnitus Functional Index (TFI) has been optimised for this and is being used in several countries.

Preoperative CHADS-VASc Score is Associated With Postoperative Survival Following Surgical Ablation Concomitantly With Other Cardiac Surgery.

Background: The CHADS-VASc scoring system has been shown to predict long-term outcomes in patients undergoing catheter ablation but has not yet been investigated for patients undergoing surgical ablation. Therefore, the objective was to evaluate the ability of CHADS-VASc to predict long-term outcomes after surgical ablation.

Method: In a retrospective study, patients were included if they underwent surgical ablation concomitantly with other cardiac surgery.

Characterisation of patients with idiopathic olfactory dysfunction and plan for clinical follow-up.

Introduction: Characterisation and management of olfactory dysfunction (OD) can be challenging, especially in patients diagnosed with idiopathic OD. This group of patients is at risk of developing neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's disease, wherefore appropriate guidelines for management of OD are needed. We aimed to identify and characterise patients suffering from idiopathic hyposmia/anosmia.

Biatrial ablation vs. Pulmonary vein isolation in atrial fibrillation patients undergoing cardiac surgery: a retrospective study.

Surgical ablation is an established treatment for patients with atrial fibrillation undergoing cardiac surgery. This study aimed to compare postoperative rhythm outcomes and pacemaker implantation rates after biatrial ablation or pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) concomitantly with other cardiac surgery. In a retrospective study, we included patients who underwent biatrial ablation or PVI.
