Autologous Fat Plus Platelet-Rich Plasma versus Autologous Fat Alone on Sulcus Vocalis.

Sulcus vocalis is a frequent cause of glottic insufficiency that leads to incomplete vocal fold closure during phonation. Type II sulcus vocalis is defined as a partial defect of the lamina propria (LP). Treatment with fillers, such as fat or hyaluronic acid (HA), in the vocal folds is widely used, but the duration of effect is variable.

Esophageal Pressure and Clinical Assessments in the Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease Patients with Laryngopharyngeal Reflux Disease.

Laryngopharyngeal reflux disease (LPRD) might be associated with reflux symptoms, and its severity is correlated with the Reflux Symptoms Index. Diagnosis is often challenging because of a lack of accurate diagnostic tools. Although an association between LPRD and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) exists, the extent to which esophageal pressure changes in patients with LPRD with GERD has been unknown.

Autologous Fat Injection Laryngoplasty for Unilateral Vocal Fold Paralysis.

Background: Unilateral vocal palsy (UVFP) affects the voice and swallowing function and could be treated by various materials to achieve improved mucosal wave and better closure during phonation. Injection laryngoplasty is considered an exemplary method for these patients and could be injected as early as possible. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis for the subjective and objective outcomes of autologous fat injection laryngoplasty (AFIL) and assessed the effects for patients with UVFP.

Effectiveness and Feasibility of Telepractice on Voice Therapy for Female Teachers in Elementary Schools with Self-Reported Voice Disorders.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to explore the effectiveness of telepractice in voice intervention for female teachers in elementary schools with self-reported voice disorders.

Methods: Thirty-five female elementary school teachers with self-reported voice disorders volunteered to participate in the study. They were divided into a telepractice voice intervention group (experimental group N=18) and a face-to-face voice intervention group (control group N=17) based on their employment setting.

Comparison Between Combination of Resonant Voice Therapy and Vocal Hygiene Education and Vocal Hygiene Education Only for Female Elementary School Teachers.

Objective: The study compares the rehabilitation outcome of two voice intervention methods for female elementary school teachers with self-reported voice disorders.

Methods: A total of 34 female teachers from two primary schools volunteered in the study. Participants from one school were assigned to the experimental group (16 teachers), who received the combination of vocal hygiene education and resonant voice therapy.

Long-term outcomes of trans-oral robotic surgery-assisted total laryngectomy for recurrent laryngeal cancers.

Objective: For recurrent laryngeal cancers, trans-oral robotic surgery has been used to perform total laryngectomy, but limited cases had been reported without long-term outcome follow-up. This study aims at presenting the largest longitudinal retrospective cohort in a single tertiary referral medical center.

Methods: From November 2013 to August 2017, seven patients with recurrent laryngeal cancers without evidence of neck metastasis were selected to receive trans-oral robotic surgery-assisted TL without neck dissection.

Impact of patient-related factors on successful autologous fat injection laryngoplasty in thyroid surgical treated related unilateral vocal fold paralysis- observational study.

The aim of this study was to compare major voice indicators in different sub-categories, the outcome of lipoinjection for patients might be refined and some voice prognostic factors could be more particularized in specific sub-groups. This is an observational study, and sub-grouped UVFP patients into 3 categories: male vs female, BMI ≥ 24 vs BMI < 24, Age ≥ 60 vs Age < 60 for more detailed exploring whether sub-categories affected voice diagnostic and prognostic parameters. Patients' voice data is recorded before and after the autologous fat injection laryngoplasty by a multidimensional voice program.
