Abstract

Human phonation does not always involve symmetric motions of the two vocal folds. Asymmetric motions can create slanted or oblique glottal angles. This study reports intraglottal pressure profiles for a Plexiglas model of the larynx with a glottis having a 10-degree divergence angle and either a symmetric orientation or an oblique angle of 15 degrees. For the oblique glottis, one side was divergent and the other convergent. The vocal fold surfaces had 14 pressure taps. The minimal glottal diameter was held constant at 0.04 cm. Results indicated that for either the symmetric or oblique case, the pressure profiles were different on the two sides of the glottis except for the symmetric geometry for a transglottal pressure of 3 cm H2O. For the symmetric case, flow separation created lower pressures on the side where the flow stayed attached to the wall, and the largest pressure differences between the two sides of the channel were 5%-6% of the transglottal pressure. For the oblique case, pressures were lower on the divergent glottal side near the glottal entry and exit, and the cross-channel pressures at the glottis entrance differed by 27% of the transglottal pressure. The empirical pressure distributions were supported by computa...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
