AI Article Synopsis
- A laryngographic exam was performed on 35 men aged 45 to 65 who had normal hearing and speech.
- The study proposed a new measurement called the laryngographic closure effectiveness coefficient (LCEC) to evaluate how well the glottis protects airways from food aspiration.
- The goal was to establish LCEC values for a control group that could help assess swallowing disorders in patients who have had partial laryngectomy.
Article Abstract
Laryngographic examination was conducted on 35 men aged 45 to 65 with good hearing and proper pronunciation. Based on the examination, the proposed by the authors of this paper laryngographic closure effectiveness coefficient of the glottis (LCEC) was calculated as a way for evaluating protection of airways against the aspiration of food. Glottis occlusion serves an essential function as a mechanism protecting airways, especially in patients who have undergone horizontal supraglottic laryngectomy. The examination was conducted with the purpose of obtaining numerical values of LCEC, which will be treated as results of the controlled group during the examination of swallowing disorders in patients with partial laryngectomy.

The objective of this study was to assess the difference in voice quality as defined by acoustical analysis using sustained vowel in laryngectomized patients in comparison with normal volunteers. This was designed as a retrospective single center cohort study. An adult tertiary referral unit formed the setting of this study.

Article Synopsis
- Laryngographic exams were performed on 97 patients after partial laryngectomy and 35 controls.
- The study found no link between the effectiveness of glottis/neoglottis occlusion and swallowing disorders.
- This indicates that effective glottis or neoglottis closure alone does not compensate for swallowing issues.
