Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of laryngeal phonation CT for the diagnosis of vocal cord paralysis by examining the physiologic and functional changes in the larynx during vowel phonation in patients with vocal cord paralysis. For the control study, three healthy volunteers underwent laryngeal phonation CT while vocalizing the vowels /hee/, /ih/, and /ah/, and reconstructed coronal images of the larynx were obtained. After the control study, 28 patients with unilateral vocal cord paralysis underwent laryngeal phonation CT during /hee/ phonation, which was chosen as a most appropriate vowel for this purpose. Changes in the paralyzed and normal vocal cords were evaluated quantitatively and qualitatively on coronal reconstruction images. On the coronal reconstructed images from the healthy volunteers, the normal cords had a shoulder formation appearance, and the cords lay within 1 mm lateral to the midline during phonation. For patients with vocal cord paralysis during /hee/ phonation, the average angle formed by the long axis of the vocal cord and the midline was 71.67 degrees on the affected side and 92.21 degrees on the normal side (p = 0.001). The vocal cord edges lay 1.5 mm lateral to the midline...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.
