Abstract
This letter focuses on the automatic estimation of the first subglottal resonance (Sg1). A database comprising speech and subglottal data of native American English speakers and bilingual Spanish/English speakers was used for the analysis. Data from 11 speakers (five males and six females) were used...

Abstract
Song production in songbirds is a model system for studying learned vocal behavior. As in humans, bird phonation involves three main motor systems (respiration, vocal organ and vocal tract). The avian respiratory mechanism uses pressure regulation in air sacs to ventilate a rigid lung. In songbirds...

Abstract
Displacement and rotational data showed that rocking motion occurs throughout arytenoid abduction and most of the rotational component is attributable to pitch; greater pitch was associated with action of the lateral belly. Roll of the ventral arytenoid plane was principally associated with action o...

Abstract
We detected myopathy by EMG in most of the patients. Also, EMG revealed that cricothyroid muscle was much more affected than thyroarytenoid muscle. In conclusion, we consider that steroid myopathy or mucosal inflammatory theory alone is not sufficient to explain the etiopathogenesis of dysphonia in...

Forty-five percent of cases (35/78) had fever. Of those febrile, 46% (n=16) had significant fever. Overall, 20.5% had significant fevers. Fifty-two cases were single-stage LTP (SSLTP) with 31 febrile and 26 cases were double-stage LTP (DSLTP) with 4 febrile. SSLTP cases were at a significantly great...

Results reveal that pitch changes in yodelling are associated with decrease of electroglottograpgic (EGG) contact quotient for the upper pitch, indicating a register shift. Furthermore, in contrast to untrained voices, for the yodellers lower and upper pitches were more stable with respect to fundam...

Abstract
We examined four cadaver larynx and one patient larynx. In the five larynges, all relevant structures and landmarks could be 3D visualised. Superimposing of two HRCT scans shows that when the arytenoids move from 'respiration' to 'phonation', they perform a rotating, translating and tilting motion....

Abstract
cLMATM allowed us to carry out PDT in all patients. Short tracheal intubations resulted in mild lesions of the larynx and mild gas leaks during cLMATM ventilation. Longer intubations caused moderate-to-severe (P<0.05) lesions of the larynx and larger gas leaks. A single complication occurred in one...
