Optimal Acoustic Parameter Subsets for Dimension-Specific Voice Quality Prediction.

OBJECTIVES: To determine the minimal set of acoustic parameters that optimally predicts each major perceptual voice quality dimension and to … Acoustic Voice Quality Index (AVQI: six parameters, AUC = 0.827) and the Cepstral Spectral Index of Dysphonia (CSID: AUC = 0.787). This advantage was obtained from sustained vowels alone, whereas AVQI and CSID were scored on connected speech in addition to the vowel; the comparison is therefore task-asymmetric and favors the established indices in speech ma …

Management of Laryngotracheal trauma: A review of current trends and future Directions.

Laryngotracheal trauma is rare but can pose serious threats to one's life. Presenting symptoms vary according to the severity of injury. Immediate Airway control is first step in the management, intubation should be considered by a senior member of the trauma team if the injury is minor while tracheostomy should be reserved for more severe injuries. Evaluation by a fibre-optic laryngoscopy and CT scan should be done whenever possible. Reconstruction is done according to the site involved using suture, titanium miniplates and stents. Tissue engineering has added a new horizon in this management

Surgical treatment of macroglossia in patients with Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome: a 20-year experience and review of the literature.
