Laryngeal muscle activity during speech breaks in adductor spasmodic dysphonia

The Laryngoscope
E A Nash, C L Ludlow

Abstract

To determine the laryngeal muscle activation abnormalities that are associated with speech symptoms in adductor spasmodic dysphonia (ADSD), electromyographic measures of extrinsic and intrinsic laryngeal muscles during speech compared 1) muscle activity when ADSD patients had breaks in words with when they produced the same words without breaks; and 2) muscle activity in ADSD patients during speech without voice breaks with normal control producing phonetically similar words. Simultaneous electromyographic recordings were made from the thyroarytenoid (TA), cricothyroid (CT), sternothyroid (ST), thyrohyoid (TH) and the posterior cricoarytenoid (PCA) muscles during speech testing in 11 ADSD patients and 10 control subjects. Speech breaks were identified and mean muscle activity measured starting 100 ms preceding a voice break and for the remainder of the word. Mean muscle activity level was significantly greater on break than non break words in ADSD patients only for the thyroarytenoid muscle (p<.001). No significant differences were found between the ADSD and control subjects during non break words for any of the laryngeal muscles studied. The results demonstrated that 1) only the thyroarytenoid, of the muscles tested, was affec...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
