Summary: This study found that voice quality is best at vibratory symmetry and deteriorates with increasing degrees of asymmetry. Voice quality may be improved by increasing adduction of the contralateral vocal fold or increasing vocal fold tension at mid-levels of SLN activation.

Summary: This study aimed to examine the effects of EMST and smTAP on cough and swallowing in people with Parkinson's Disease. The results showed that neither EMST nor smTAP had a significant impact on vocal fold bowing. The study also demonstrated the safety of these exercises in terms of vocal fold lesions.

Summary: Patients with suspected lung cancer showed moderate dysphonia on acoustic measures, but self-reported impact on quality of life was low. Some patients had leukoplakia and vocal fold movement asymmetry on stroboscopy, but obvious neoplasm and occult paralysis were not observed in this cohort. These findings suggest that assessment for subjective voice dysfunction is important for patients with suspected lung cancer, but routine laryngeal screening may be unnecessary.

Summary: This study retrospectively analyzed the clinicopathological characteristics of 171 papillary thyroid cancer patients and found that age of onset ≥55 years was an independent risk factor for postoperative recurrence. Preoperative voice analysis can predict recurrent laryngeal nerve function. PTC patients with RLN invasion can achieve good outcomes.

Summary: LV closure is crucial during swallowing to prevent food from entering the airway. This study introduces a non-invasive sensor-based system using deep learning to detect LV behaviors, achieving high accuracies in classifying LV statuses without traditional radiographic methods. These findings suggest the potential of sensor-supported systems for clinical diagnosis and biofeedback in patients with swallowing disorders.

Summary: This study compared patients undergoing thyroidectomy without intraoperative nerve monitoring (IONM), with intermittent IONM, and with continuous IONM. The results suggest that continuous IONM may further reduce the prevalence of voice and swallowing problems compared to intermittent IONM.

Summary: Percutaneous injection laryngoplasty significantly improves voice and swallowing function in patients with cancer-related unilateral vocal cord paralysis, with effects seen as soon as two weeks post-treatment and lasting up to three months. Early intervention may lead to greater benefits on swallowing function.

Summary: Despite advancements in surgical techniques, complications such as swallowing and voice disorders continue to burden patients post cardiothoracic transplantation. These lesser-known complications can lead to increased morbidity and mortality in heart and lung transplant populations, highlighting the importance of early diagnosis and management for optimal patient outcomes.

Summary: Glottal resistance is crucial for conserving airflow, especially in cases of high vocal demands. This study found that the initial glottal angle and vertical thickness of the vocal folds are key predictors of lung volume termination (LVT), with their effects modulated by respiratory parameters. The findings suggest that laryngeal strategies consistent with hyperfunctional voice disorders can effectively increase LVT, implying a role for airflow conservation in these disorders.

Summary: This study investigated the changes in voice quality of pigs before and after laryngeal surgery, identifying four parameters related to post-operative voice quality changes out of 17 acoustic parameters measured. Two parameters, 50% spectral energy quartile and Flux, were recommended for assessing post-surgical voice quality in pigs.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the changes in voice quality, airway invasion during swallowing, pharyngeal residue after swallowing, acoustic and aerodynamic measurements, and pulmonary function in patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism who underwent total parathyroidectomy plus auto-transplantation. The results showed significant improvements in voice quality, vocal cord closure, pharyngeal residue, and pulmonary function after the surgery.

Summary: The study found that subclinical swallowing disorders are common after chemoradiotherapy, even in patients who do not clinically manifest these disorders, leading to a decrease in patients' quality of life. Using volume-viscosity swallow test and fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing can effectively detect asymptomatic swallowing disorders.

Summary: Endocrine surgery has made significant advances in recent decades, expanding surgical and nonsurgical techniques. The use of newer generation robotics allows for more flexibility and better tactile feedback. Autofluorescence technology shows promise in identifying parathyroid glands and reducing the risk of hypoparathyroidism. Future research will incorporate artificial intelligence to improve preoperative assessment and intraoperative decision-making.
