Clinical Measurement Of Speech And Voice

Consensus for voice quality assessment in clinical practice: guidelines of the European Laryngological Society and Union of the European Phoniatricians.

The Korean Society of Laryngology, Phoniatrics and Logopedics appointed a task force to establish clinical practice guidelines for the management of unilateral vocal fold paralysis (UVFP). These guidelines cover a comprehensive range of management-related factors, including the diagnosis and treatment of UVFP, and provide in-depth information based on current, up-to-date knowledge. Detailed evidence profiles are provided for each recommendation. The CORE databases, including OVID Medline, Embase, the Cochrane Library, and KoreaMed, were searched to identify all relevant papers, using a predefined search strategy. When insufficient evidence existed, expert opinions and Delphi questionnaires were used to fill the evidence gap. The committee developed 16 evidence-based recommendations in six categories: initial evaluation (R1-4), spontaneous recovery (R5), medical treatment (R6), surgical treatment (R7-14), voice therapy (R15), and aspiration prevention (R16). The goal of these guidelines is to assist general otolaryngologists and speech-language pathologists who are primarily responsible for treating patients with UVFP. These guidelines are also intended to facilitate understanding of the condition among other health-care providers, including primary care physicians, nurses, and policy-makers.

Surgical interventions for pediatric unilateral vocal fold paralysis: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Compensatory Movement of Contralateral Vocal Folds in Patients With Unilateral Vocal Fold Paralysis.

International consensus (ICON) on basic voice assessment for unilateral vocal fold paralysis.

The voice is an important indicator of human health, since the state of voice function is related to the activity of the main body systems. Impaired vocal function significantly changes relationships with people for the worse, makes it difficult or completely impedes the performance of professional duties. The main causes of phonation-related diseases of the larynx, dysphonia, is a systematic overload of the voice.


OBJECTIVE
Analysis of modern regulations for the examination of the connection of the disease with the profession and professional suitability in diseases of the larynx.


MATERIAL AND METHODS
The analysis of existing and newly approved normative and methodological documents regulating expert work in determining the relationship of laryngeal disease with a profession and assessing professional suitability in workers of voice and speech professions has been carried out.


RESULTS
Diseases caused by an occupational factor are among the occupational diseases, the list of nosological forms of which is approved by the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation. The procedure for the diagnosis of an occupational disease has been defined in two stages - preliminary and final diagnoses, and the necessary algorithms for the actions of specialists have been developed.


CONCLUSION
Strict consideration of all existing regulatory requirements for the examination of the relationship between the disease of the vocal apparatus and the profession and professional suitability of «voice professionals» is aimed at eliminating serious errors in detecting early symptoms of impaired vocal function, maintaining longevity, observing social justice and preserving the quality of life of employees and medical professionals.

Laryngectomy is a common treatment of locoregionally advanced (stage III and IV) laryngeal and hypopharyngeal cancer. Surgical treatment causes both vital (breathing, swallowing) and communicative (voice, smell) functions disorder. The degree of recovery of these functions affects the patient’s quality of life, the return to work, and the ability to be an active member of society. The most important role for psychosocial adaptation is played by the restoration of voice function. However, it is not the only direction in the rehabilitation of laryngectomized patients. Correction of the respiratory, swallowing, and olfactory disorders is also important and requires a multidisciplinary team of specialists. The article provides an overview of main methods of restoring lost functions after laryngectomy in historical retrospective.

Comprehensive rehabilitation of patients after total laryngectomy: major developmental milestones

The voice as the most important means of communication is of great importance in a person's life. Every year the number of specialties for which voice and speech are a key tool of professional activity increases. Diseases of the vocal apparatus reduce the ability to work, and for some people pose a threat of professional unfitness. The relevance of the study is determined not only by the significant prevalence of dysphonia, but also by the insufficient effectiveness of existing methods of treating voice disorders.


OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of the use of the drug Homeovox in patients with acute and chronic catarrhal laryngitis as monotherapy. To fulfill the set goal of the study, the following tasks were solved: evaluation of the clinical effectiveness of the drug Homeovox as monotherapy for various types of dysphonia; evaluation of the effectiveness of the drug Homeovox as monotherapy from the 1st day of use.


MATERIAL AND METHODS
The basis for the implementation of the tasks was the analysis of the results of the examination and treatment of 60 patients with voice disorders aged 18 to 75 years. Among them, 10 (17%) patients with acute laryngitis and 50 (83%) patients with chronic laryngitis. To establish the diagnosis, a comprehensive examination was carried out, involving examination, videolaryngostroboscopy, acoustic analysis of the voice. The study design included three patient visits, during which the functional state of the vocal apparatus was examined by subjective and objective methods.


RESULTS
As a result of the treatment with the use of the drug Homeovox, the efficacy and safety of this drug in the treatment of dysphonia in adult patients with acute and chronic laryngitis from the first days of therapy has been proven, which is confirmed by the method of videolaryngostroboscopy and acoustic analysis of the voice.


CONCLUSION
The drug Homeovox is an effective, safe remedy and can be included in the complex treatment of laryngeal pathology in order to increase its effectiveness and achieve a therapeutic effect in a shorter time, manifested by an improvement in the clinical and functional state of larynx.
