Introduction: There is a paucity of literature on pre-adolescent paradoxical vocal fold motion (PVFM), PVFM is a sub-type of inducible laryngeal obstruction. Studies typically focus on older patients, however the discovery of this entity in pre-adolescent pediatric patients has led to more questions about how this entity manifests differently and is treated differently in younger populations. Initially considered psychosomatic and commonly mistaken for asthma, PVFM etiology is now thought to be associated underlying neurologic conditions and may have irritant triggers with proposed mechanisms related to laryngeal hypersensitivity.

Introduction: Vocal cord dysfunction (VCD) is a complex disorder characterized by episodic adduction of the vocal folds during inspiration and expiration, which can lead to dyspnea, wheezing, cough, and acute-onset respiratory distress. Currently, there is a lack of standardized criteria among treating physicians across multiple disciplines, including otolaryngologists, pulmonologists, allergists, and speech and language pathologists, for diagnosis and treatment of VCD, although laryngeal-respiratory retraining therapy (LRT) has emerged as the preferred treatment modality.
Objective: In the present study, we examined the efficacy of LRT in patients presenting with a clinical diagnosis of VCD in the presence and absence of laryngeal adduction on laryngoscopy.

Study Objectives: Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a rare neurodegenerative disorder characterized by autonomic dysfunction associated with a combination of cerebellar, parkinsonian, or pyramidal signs. Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) such as stridor, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and central sleep apnea (CSA) are common in MSA and can impact survival. Several studies have evaluated treatment modalities.

Background: Laryngospasm is sustained closure of the airways and can be a life-threatening condition. Magnesium sulphate is postulated to reduce the incidence of laryngospasm if administered peri-operatively. This systematic review and meta-analysis was performed to assess the efficacy of magnesium sulphate in preventing peri-operative laryngospasm in paediatric patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery.
