Complex assessment of changes in laryngoscopic picture, direct laryngoscopy under anesthesia, tomography, thermography of the larynx and electrodiagnosis allows prognosis of recovery of motility of one of the vocal cords. The reflex spasm was relieved with corporal reflex therapy and novocain blockade of Zakharyin-Ged zones for the larynx. Out of 26 patients 11 recovered motility of the vocal cord due to the novocain blockades, 4--due to the corporal reflex therapy and 4 patients--spontaneously. No response was achieved in 7 patients.

Voice alteration is a recognized complication of thyroid surgery, impacting the quality of life and communication for affected individuals. In this prospective observational study, the Acoustic Voice Quality Index (AVQI) was employed to assess vocal outcomes after thyroidectomy. Between February 2018 and August 2022, 224 patients underwent Thyroid surgery in our department, of which 74 with differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) were enrolled in accordance with the inclusion criteria.

Objective: Unilateral vocal fold paralysis (UVFP) frequently causes severe dysphonia, which necessitates multidisciplinary treatment. Literature on outcomes of interventions has primarily focused on vocal fold motility or instrumental vocal outcomes, but the perspectives of patients about the treatment process have not yet been investigated. The purpose of the study was therefore to explore patient experiences with healthcare for UVFP.

Objective: The objective of this study is to provide a retrospective review of the 40-year experience of three oncology referral centers in the field of reconstructive laryngeal surgery.
Materials And Methods: A multi-institutional retrospective analysis included adult patients who underwent reconstructive laryngeal surgery for cT2-T4a laryngeal cancer (LC) between 1 June 1987 and 1 July 2019. Patients were stratified according to the European Laryngological Society classification for open partial horizontal laryngectomy (OPHL).

Article Synopsis
- * A comparison of non-cancerous and patient-derived VFC cells shows an association between cancer progression, reduction in specific cell adhesion proteins, and changes in how cells move collectively.
- * Mimicking the normal mechanical activity of healthy tissue can reduce tumor-promoting factors, while a correlation was found between ECM content, a signaling protein (YAP), and patient survival, suggesting potential therapeutic strategies targeting these pathways.
