[Application of Brain-Boy Universal Professional in preliminary assessment of auditory processing disorder].

Unlabelled: Increasing numbers of hearing pathology is auditory processing disorders. Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) are defined as difficulty in using auditory information to communicate and learn in the presence of normal peripheral hearing. It may be recognized as a problem with understanding of speech in noise and perception disorder of distorted speech.

[Phonosurgical methods of treatment in unilateral vocal folds paralysis].

Glottal insufficiency (GI) is a cause of breathy voice that can profoundly affect quality of voice. Main causes are unilateral vocal fold paralysis or endoscopic cordectomy for the early treatment of laryngeal cancer of the glottis. The main strategy in surgical treatment is type I medialization thyroplasty according to Isshiki with the use of implants e.

[Phonosurgery treatment options in male to female and female to male transsexuals.].

The voice is an important part of human identity. The voice is susceptible to impact of hormons mainly sexual hormons. The larynx is one of secondary sex characacteristics.

[Analysis of phonosurgical methods of treatment in spasmodic dysphonia].

Spasmodic dysphonia (SD) is rather a rare voice disorder. It is most often seen in woman aged 40-50. The disease is caused by deep emotional and neurological disorders of extrapyramidal system.

[Effects of electrostimulation therapy in selected cases of vocal fold paralysis].

Unlabelled: Paralytic dysphonia is the most serious neurogenic pathology of voice quality. An important issue is to identify methods which support routine treatment.

Aim: The aim of the study is to assess voice quality after electrostimulation (ES) therapy in patients with paralytic dysphonia.

[Rehabilitation of phonosurgically treated patients with edematous-hypertrophic changes of larynx].

Unlabelled: Advanced change of organic dysphonia are an indication for phonosurgery. Edematous-hypertrophic changes are cause of serious disturbances of voice. High-speed digital imaging (HSDI) technique is the unique method, allowing for assessment the effects of therapy and rehabilitation.

Parameters of the assessment of voice quality and clinical manifestation of rheumatoid arthritis.

Purpose: The aim of the study was to investigate the voice quality parameters in 72 rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients and their relationships with the clinical manifestations and disease activity. The control group consisted of 30 healthy subjects.

Material And Methods: All RA patients were evaluated by extensive clinical, laboratory and radiographic studies.

Visual assessment of voice disorders in patients with occupational dysphonia.

Introduction: In a group of persons using the voice occupationally, the frequent symptoms are hoarseness, voice fatigability and aphonia. Pathological changes in the larynx may have organic or functional character which require different methods of treatment and rehabilitation. Visualization of vibrations of the vocal folds is an essential condition for an appropriate assessment of the causes of dysphonia.

[The impact of cochlear implant (CI) on the process of phonation and quality of life of patients with pre- and postlingual deafness].

Unlabelled: Cochlear Implant (CI) is the most advanced method of treatment in receptive type of deafness and profound hearing loss. Good functioning auditory organ plays a significant role not only in auditory perception but also in the process of phonation, giving the possibility of good realization of the process of verbal communication. The aim of the study is to assess the quality of voice and life in adults with pre- and postlingual deafness treated using cochlear implant.

Videostroboscopic and morphological aspects of voice disturbances in patients with larynx atrophy and coexisting hypopharynx cancer.

Vocal folds play a crucial role in voice production. The physiological vibrations of vocal folds depend on the unchanged multilayered structure of the vocal folds mucosa. Morphological changes of mucosa are the cause of voice quality disorders - dysphonia.

Morphological changes of the vocal fold mucosa in hyperfunctional dysphonia diagnosed by psychoacoustic and videostroboscopic methods.

Purpose: The aim of the study was to provide a morphological assessment of the laryngeal mucosa in patients with hyperfunctional dysphonia diagnosed by psychoacoustic and videostroboscopic methods.

Material And Methods: Forty patients with voice quality disorders of hyperfunctional dysphonia were recruited for participation in the study. The diagnosis of dysphonia was based on the Voice Rating Scale GRBAS, and endoscopic and stroboscopic assessment of the vocal folds.

Morphological aspects of the euphonic voice.

The high quality of a euphonic voice is the result of complex interactions between many organs and systems. Vibrating vocal folds play a crucial role in this process. Their physiological motion is conditioned by the presence of the layered structure of laryngeal mucosa.
