Effects of Recording Condition and Number of Monitored Days on the Discriminative Power of the Daily Phonotrauma Index.
J Speech Lang Hear Res
January 2025
Center for Laryngeal Surgery and Voice Rehabilitation, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston.
Purpose: The Daily Phonotrauma Index (DPI) can quantify pathophysiological mechanisms associated with daily voice use in individuals with phonotraumatic vocal hyperfunction (PVH). Since DPI was developed based on weeklong ambulatory voice monitoring, this study investigated if DPI can achieve comparable performance using (a) short laboratory speech tasks and (b) fewer than 7 days of ambulatory data.
Method: An ambulatory voice monitoring system recorded the vocal function/behavior of 134 females with PVH and vocally healthy matched controls in two different conditions.
Hearing Loss Is Associated With Increased Mortality in a Cohort of Older Construction Trades Workers.
Am J Ind Med
December 2024
Zenith American Solutions, Oak Ridge, Tennessee, USA.
Article Synopsis
- Hearing loss is linked to higher mortality rates, especially among workers in high-risk jobs, but using hearing aids can reduce this risk significantly.
- A study of over 19,000 DOE workers found that 41.3% had hearing loss, with 15.3% using hearing aids, leading to 5,398 deaths during an 11.1-year follow-up.
- Results showed that severe hearing loss increases mortality risk, while hearing aid users had a 30% lower risk of death, suggesting improvements in workers' compensation and medical benefits for noise-exposed workers are needed.
Speech Development Between 30 and 119 Months in Typical Children III: Interaction Between Speaking Rate and Intelligibility.
J Speech Lang Hear Res
January 2025
Waisman Center, University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Purpose: Earlier work has established developmental benchmarks for intelligibility and articulation rate, but the intersection of these two variables, especially within individual children, has received limited attention. This study examines the interaction between intelligibility and speaking rate in typically developing children between the ages 2;6 and 9;11 (years;months) and evaluates whether children show a speed-accuracy trade-off in their habitual speech production.
Method: Speech samples of varying lengths were collected from 538 typically developing children.
Submillimeter fiber robots capable of decoupled macro-micro motion for endoluminal manipulation.
Sci Adv
November 2024
Institute of Medical Robotics, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai 200240, China.
Article Synopsis
- Endoluminal and endocavitary interventions are gaining popularity for early intervention and precision surgery, pushing the need for advanced robotic technology.
- A new submillimeter-scale fiber robot (~1 mm) is designed for both macro and micro manipulations, using thin optical fibers for actuation and light transmission.
- This robot can perform precise movements across different scales, achieving accuracy in micro operations during in vivo animal studies.

Article Synopsis
- - The 2024 update of the 2018 National Guideline for Clinical Management of Opioid Use Disorder emphasizes the need for current scientific evidence to inform treatment practices for opioid use disorder in Canada.
- - A comprehensive review from 2017 to 2023 was conducted to revise the guidelines, involving a national committee including those with personal experience in opioid use disorder, and ensuring quality through established methods.
- - Key changes in the recommendations include recognizing methadone and buprenorphine as equally effective first-line treatments, introducing slow-release oral morphine as a second-line option, and highlighting that psychosocial interventions should be optional rather than mandatory.
