Abstract

To evaluate the voice quality in patients with mild-to-moderate asthma by subjective and objective methods. Comparative, controlled, cross-sectional study. Patients with mild-to-moderate asthma (n=40) and age- and sex-matched healthy controls (n=40) were included. Acoustic analyses were performed by the Multi-Dimensional Voice Program (MDVP; Kay Elemetrics Corporation, Lincoln Park, NJ) and the movements of the vocal cords were examined by videolaryngostroboscopy (VLS). In addition, the duration of illness, maximum phonation time, "s/z" values, and vital capacity were evaluated. Voice Handicap Index (VHI) and GRB scales were used for subjective evaluations. Maximum phonation time values were significantly shorter both in male and female asthma patients compared with controls (P<0.0001). Also, average shimmer values in MDVP were higher for both sexes in the patient group compared with controls (P=0.002 and P=0.04, respectively). There was a significant difference between female patients and sex-matched controls with regard to mean noise-to-harmonic ratio values (P=0.006). Female patients with asthma had higher average jitter values compared with sex-matched controls (P<0.0001). A significant difference was noted between asthma a...Continue Reading

Asthma

This feed focuses in Asthma in which your airways narrow and swell. This can make breathing difficult and trigger coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath.

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.

Allergies & Environmental Factors

Environmental factors are strongly associated with the prevalence of allergies and are an increasing health concern worldwide. Discover the latest research on Allergies and Environmental Factors here.
