Background: The purpose of this study was to assess changes in vocal function over time following supracricoid partial laryngectomy with cricohyoidoepiglottopexy (SCL-CHEP).
Methods: A total of 17 patients who underwent SCL-CHEP for laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma between 2007 and 2015 were reviewed. We examined maximum phonation time (MPT), mean airflow rate (MFR), voice intensity, the grade, roughness, breathiness, asthenia, and strain (GRBAS) scale, Voice Handicap Index-10 (VHI-10), and voice-related quality of life (V-RQOL) scores. To assess changes over time in these parameters, we set 3 evaluation periods after surgery: within the first 12 months (term A), 13-36 months (term B), and after 37 months (term C).
Results: The mean MPT, MFR, G and B GRBAS subscale, VHI-10, and V-RQOL scores improved significantly over time postoperatively.
Conclusion: Multiple vocal function parameters improved significantly with time due to self-adaptation to a newly created glottis after surgery.

Introduction: There are inconsistencies in how different endoscopic procedures to manage Bilateral Vocal Fold Immobility (BVFI) have been described in the literature. This limits our ability to compare functional outcomes. There is no unifying international terminology available that precisely describes the anatomical boundaries and extent of the different types of treatment.

There is a striking sex bias in the prevalence and severity of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) with 80% of diagnoses occurring in males. Because the molecular etiology of ASD is likely combinatorial, including interactions across multiple genetic and environmental factors, it is difficult to investigate the physiological mechanisms driving sex-specific differences. Loss of function mutations in result in dysregulated mTORC1 signaling and underlie a multi-system disorder known as tuberous sclerosis (TSC).

We tested Pekin ducks with playbacks of 5 different vocalizations plus a no noise and white noise stimulus as our controls (N = 15 ducks/sex/treatment). The "AM long" call is a common vocalization made by both sexes. "Honk" is also produced by both sexes and is thought to be an alarm or distress call.

Previous studies of laryngeal and respiratory control of the voice source often focus on main effects of individual control parameters but not their interactions. The goal of this study is to systematically identify important interaction effects in laryngeal and respiratory control of the voice source and vocal fold contact pressure in a three-dimensional voice production model. Computational simulations were performed with parametric variations in vocal fold geometry, stiffness, prephonatory glottal gap, and subglottal pressure.
