Presentation

The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail hereinafter with reference to the attached drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a communication system to which the present invention is applied. [google.tl]

Congenital laryngeal stridor is a defect that is present at birth. During fetal development, the structures in the larynx may not fully develop. [stanfordchildrens.org]

However, they can be presented as wheezing, dyspnea, discomfort in the throat, or cervical mass depending on the size and location of the tumor. [dbpia.co.kr]

Problems with the larynx (voice box) generally present as hoarseness. Other common symptoms include Dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), throat pain, chronic cough, shortness of breath, or the sensation of a lump in the throat. [subent.com]

Earlier recognition of minor laryngeal changes, as detailed in the text, should lead to earlier biopsy and tissue diagnosis, earlier and more enlightened public awareness, and earlier and, therefore, more effective utilization of present day day modalities [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    The participants with chronic refractory cough had been referred by respiratory physicians for behavioural management of cough [ 13 ]. [coughjournal.biomedcentral.com]

  • Hoarseness

    If hoarseness or any of the above symptoms lasts for two weeks or more, evaluation by an Otolaryngologist is essential to diagnose the cause of the problem. [subent.com]

    Vocal granuloma inflammation > ulcer > granuloma etiology - intubation - gastroesophageal reflux - partial laryngectomy Symptoms - hoarseness 2-3 wk after extubation 35. [slideshare.net]

    Constant hoarseness while speaking is an early symptom of this type of cancer and hoarseness that lasts longer than three weeks should be evaluated by an ENT specialist (otolaryngologist). [azvent.com]

    When a problem occurs with the larynx the most common symptom is hoarseness. Other possible symptoms include frequent throat clearing, and the sensation of something being stuck in your throat. [berksent.com]

    The voice is weak and hoarse. [entusa.com]

  • Aspiration

    Learn More About Topic css id: Aspiration Aspiration is a medical term for accidentally inhaling your food or liquid through your vocal cords into your airway, instead of swallowing through your food pipe and into your stomach. [entnet.org]

    Its closing mechanisms prevent the aspiration of liquids and solids during swallowing and allow coughing and the production of vocalizations. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]

    Aspiration is common with bilateral vocal fold paralysis, often resulting in recurrent chest infections. [emedicine.medscape.com]

    […] significant changes Unilateral paralysis- voice is the issue Bilateral paralysis- airway is the issue Etiology: -Tumor, Trauma, Infection, Surgery Unilateral -Breathy voice that gets worse with increased activity -Initially these people often struggle with aspiration [quizlet.com]

    Surgical treatments: Surgery for benign vocal fold lesions or for vocal fold paralysis is recommended in rare instances, for example when the child cannot achieve the desired voice use or when there is a medical need to prevent aspiration of food and [mottchildren.org]

  • Stridor

    In children, congenital laryngeal stridor is the most common cause of chronic stridor. What are the symptoms of congenital laryngeal stridor? The major symptom of this disorder is the stridor that is heard as the infant breathes. [stanfordchildrens.org]

    What are the common causes of stridor in newborns? Stridor = Noisy Breathing Anything that creates a blockage in the breathing passages causes turbulence in the passage of air, which then makes breathing noisy (stridor). [voicefoundation.org]

    Paradoxical Vocal Fold Motion May present acutely More commonly intermittent inspiratory stridor which resolve spontaneously Often occur when anxious or upset Sometimes precipitated by severe cough Usually female Often patient complains of obstruction [quizlet.com]

    The vast majority, however, will only have stridor without other more serious symptoms such as dyspnea (difficulty breathing). [en.wikipedia.org]

  • Laryngeal Disease

    Abstract A compilation of late and early symptoms of patients who ultimately were found to have laryngeal disease was carried out. Notation of even minor changes in the indirect laryngoscopic appearance of the same patients was made routinely. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    In addition to expert dysphagia treatment and diagnosis, our board-certified laryngologists also provide treatment services for: Acute and chronic non-specific laryngitis Aging voice Awake treatment of laryngeal disease (KTP laser treatment of papilloma [wuphysicians.wustl.edu]

Gastrointestinal

  • Choking

    When eating or drinking, for instance, liquids or food can go into your child’s lungs, which can make him or her inhale deeply and sometimes choke. [childrenshospital.org]

    The vocal cords close to prevent food from choking you during swallowing. The vocal cords are the part of the larynx that actually produce the sound of your voice. When a problem occurs with the larynx the most common symptom is hoarseness. [berksent.com]

    After a full day of talking, someone with a weak vocal fold can feel exhausted due to the frequent breathing, and can experience choking and coughing on food or liquids. [texasvoicecenter.com]

    At our Swallowing Laboratory which employs the latest technological advancements in diagnosis and treatment, we carefully evaluate and treat patients to prevent complications, such as dehydration, malnutrition, choking, and pneumonia. [nyee.edu]

    Because the vocal folds are unable to close completely during swallowing, patients may also experience coughing and choking while eating or drinking. [ohsu.edu]

  • Muscle Rigidity

    Return to top of Page PARKINSON DISEASE Parkinson disease is a movement disorder that causes muscle rigidity, slow movement, stooped posture and tremors. [ohsu.edu]

Musculoskeletal

  • Irritability

    With less trauma/injury, should also follow less irritation, allowing for more normal reflexive cough thresholds. The larynx becomes less irritated! The key to success here is recognizing all the coughing behavior you actually do. [practicalslpinfo.com]

    […] with occupational irritant exposure. [journals.lww.com]

    A common irritation to the larynx is voice abuse, which includes screaming, singing or shouting too much. [betterhealth.vic.gov.au]

    There is an irritation in my throat. [coughjournal.biomedcentral.com]

    Among the most common are misuse or overuse of the voice and irritation by smoke, dust, or other airborne irritants. Reflux of acid from the stomach is another frequent cause of laryngeal inflammation. [ohsu.edu]

  • Agitation

    The most common symptoms are a hoarse, breathy cry that is aggravated by agitation. Feeding difficulties and aspiration may also occur. [emedicine.medscape.com]

    This is called paradoxical stridor because the infant breathes better when active or agitated rather than when quiet. [voicefoundation.org]

Clinical trials often give patients access to leading-edge treatments that are not yet widely available. [utswmedicine.org]

Prognosis

From What is the prognosis for patients with throat cancer? The prognosis or outcome for patients with throat cancer varies with the stage and location of the cancer. [medicinenet.com]

Prognosis [ edit ] Laryngomalacia becomes symptomatic after the first few months of life (2–3 months), and the stridor may get louder over the first year, as the child moves air more vigorously. [en.wikipedia.org]

The prognosis for individuals with this disorder is poor. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Etiology

Although the reported findings are not specifically diagnostic of cancer of the larynx, they should draw earlier attention to the larynx as the etiological site of such symptoms. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

[…] of paralysis Unilateral vs Bilateral Remember the anatomy RLN vs SLN vs X nerve SLN paralysis- minor vocal changes RLN paralysis- causes much more significant changes Unilateral paralysis- voice is the issue Bilateral paralysis- airway is the issue Etiology [quizlet.com]

Etiology and pathogenesis Lymphangiomas originate from lymphatic vessel malformations. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Acid reflux also was implicated as a potential etiology in various laryngeal diagnoses such as posterior laryngitis, laryngeal stenosis, 14 and laryngeal carcinoma. [nature.com]

Epidemiology

We verified the relationship between smoking and laryngeal disorders, which has not been identified in previous epidemiological studies, by using representative epidemiological data. [bmjopen.bmj.com]

Congenital Laryngeal Webs Epidemiology Laryngeal webs are rare congenital anomalies of the larynx. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Epidemiology [ edit ] Although this is a congenital lesion, airway sounds typically begin at age 4–6 weeks. Until that age, inspiratory flow rates may not be high enough to generate the sounds. [en.wikipedia.org]

Pathophysiology

This suggests that differences in pathophysiology between LPR and GERD patients are part of the basis for the contrasting symptomology. [nature.com]

The underlying pathophysiology is as yet poorly understood; however, the clinical scenario suggests a multifactorial nature to the disorder. [journals.lww.com]

First, onset is gradual after which the disorder becomes chronic, suggesting some adaptation processes are involved in the development of the pathophysiology. [jneurosci.org]

Results of post-hoc test with Bonferroni adjustment for time factor on different voice measures Click here to view Discussion Although the evaluation and treatment of LPR has been challenging, promising progress has been made in delineating the complex pathophysiology [tdj.eg.net]

Prevention

Unilateral vocal fold paralysis can be caused by a variety of diseases or disorders that prevent movement in one vocal fold. [texasvoicecenter.com]

Rapidly find the answers you need with separate sections on diseases and disorders, differential diagnosis, clinical algorithms, laboratory results, and clinical preventive services, plus an at-a-glance format that uses cross-references, outlines, bullets [books.google.com]

What can be done to prevent diseases of the larynx? Quitting smoking and cutting back on drinking alcohol can help prevent laryngeal cancer. [my.clevelandclinic.org]

In order to prevent laryngeal disorders in the future, it is necessary to establish a detailed no-smoking policy that includes hidden women smokers as well. [bmjopen.bmj.com]

Its closing mechanisms prevent the aspiration of liquids and solids during swallowing and allow coughing and the production of vocalizations. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]
