Unlabelled: A longitudinal cohort study Introduction: Voice change may be defined as a group of changes in voice pattern that take place between childhood and puberty. During this period some vocal cord lesions (specifically cysts and nodules) may undergo transformation.
Aim: To evaluate changes in vocal cord structural lesions following voice changes.
Material And Method: All laringoscopic exams made at the Sao Paulo Santa Casa de Misericordia between 1997 and 2002 of children aged below 10 years with structural lesions were reevaluated. Children whose voice had already changed repeated the exam and answered a questionary about voice change.
Results: Eleven children were studied. Observation showed that hoarseness was significantly decreased after voice change, and that lesions revealed modifications. Thickened-like lesions were reabsorved, and protrusion-like lesions underwent modification but did not disappear.
Conclusion: The definition of lesions and subsequent modifications after voice change are important to define the correct approach to children presenting hoarseness.

Objective: The proportion of people having home dialysis for kidney disease varies considerably by treating centre, socioeconomic deprivation levels in the area and to some extent ethnicity. This study aimed to gain in-depth insights into cultural and organisational factors contributing to this variation in uptake.
Design: This is the first ethnographic study of kidney centre culture to focus on home dialysis uptake.

Carl von Ossietzky University Oldenburg, University Clinic for Visceral Surgery, Ammerländer Heerstraße 114-118, 26129 Oldenburg, Germany.
Objective: The care of patients with dysphonia will change due to the growing shortage of specialists, demographic change, and digitalization. To counteract the associated problems in patient care, the LAOLA app demonstrator is to be developed. In the future, patients will receive exercise videos for their training from their treating speech and language pathologist (SLP) via LAOLA.

December 2024
Professor in the Speech, Language and Hearing Sciences Department of the Federal University of Sergipe - Lagarto Campus, Lagarto, Brazil. Electronic address:
Objective: To compare the vocal symptomatology of professors from a federal university who engaged in distance, hybrid, and face-to-face teaching during and after the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic period.
Method: The study included 40 university professors, 20 men and 20 women, whose symptomatology was monitored at three time points: during the distance teaching period due to social isolation caused by COVID-19, in hybrid teaching (partial return), and upon returning to face-to-face teaching, which required the use of face masks and posed contamination risks.
Results: The hybrid phase presented the highest absence of vocal complaints/discomfort, and most participants did not need to be reassigned due to vocal problems.
