Background/objectives: The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has significantly impacted global health, with Malaysia reporting over 5 million cases as of May 2024. While symptoms like fatigue and breathlessness are commonly reported among COVID-19 patients, limited research exists on the vocal and pulmonary conditions of individuals with long COVID symptoms. This study aims to assess vocal impairments and pulmonary function differences between long COVID patients and healthy controls, addressing gaps in understanding how long COVID affects vocal and respiratory health.

Objective: To map the procedures and characterize the results of multidimensional voice assessment of individuals with sleep-related breathing disorders.
Method: This scoping review searched the MEDLINE, LILACS, Scopus, EMBASE, Web of Science, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, ProQuest, and MedRxiv databases, manually searched citations, grey literature, and consulted with experts. It included studies whose participants had sleep-related breathing disorders and underwent voice assessment.

To explore the efficacy of ansa cervicalis anterior root-recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) anastomosis in the treatment of unilateral vocal fold paralysis (UVFP) and to analyze the effect of different pathogenic factors on efficacy. From January 2010 to January 2022, 428 patients (187 males and 241 females) at Changhai Hospital with UVFP who underwent ansa cervicalis anterior root-RLN anastomosis due to thyroid surgery, thoracic surgery, idiopathic vocal ford paralysis or high cranial base injury were analyzed. The course of nerve injury ranged from 6 to 24 months.

Objectives: In voice production, interactions occur between the oscillating vocal folds, the respiratory system, and the vocal tract. However, it is not yet sufficiently understood how the respiratory system could affect the vocal tract configuration. It is hypothesized that a reduction in tracheal pull, caused by decreasing lung volume, along with shifts in dominant exhalation forces (from inspiratory to expiratory muscles), leads to a larynx elevation with shortening of the vocal tract tube, and consecutively, articulatory adjustments to preserve consistent sound quality.
