Multidimensional Electroglottographic Characterization of Immediate Responses to Straw Phonation: A Pilot Methodological Study in Singers

This study examines the immediate electroglottographic effects of straw phonation in singers using four different straws, identifying potential biomarkers for further research.

Multimodal imaging reveals surface degradation of voice prosthesis implants resulting from colonisation by polymicrobial biofilms

The paper uses multimodal imaging to show that polymicrobial biofilms degrade silicone voice prosthesis implants by invading the device and releasing silicone particles.

Perception of speech rate and intensity in Parkinson's disease

This study investigates how Parkinson's disease affects perception of speech rate and intensity, finding worse rate discrimination in patients and a link between intensity discrimination and disease severity.

Deep Learning-Assisted Evaluation of Laryngeal Mobility in a Rat Model

The paper quantitatively evaluates laryngeal mobility in a rat model using deep learning to assess asymmetry after RLN injury.

Controlled decorin delivery from injectable microgels promotes scarless vocal fold repair

This study delivers decorin via hyaluronic acid microgels to prevent vocal fold scarring by inhibiting myofibroblast activation and collagen deposition in a rat model.

Alpha-synuclein overexpression without vocalization deficits in a mouse model of parkinsonism.

This study shows that alpha-synuclein overexpression alone does not cause vocalization deficits in mice, suggesting that aggregate pathology, not overexpression, is responsible for voice issues in Parkinson's disease.

Heightened Sensitivity to Voice Loudness Changes in Parkinson's Disease

This study examines sensory feedback processing in Parkinson's disease by comparing ERP responses to self-generated and externally-generated voices with amplitude modulation.

Efficacy of vocal cord injection of dedifferentiated fat cells in treating glottis closure insufficiency: Insights from a rat model of recurrent laryngeal nerve resection

This study evaluates the efficacy of dedifferentiated fat cells (DFATs) in treating glottic insufficiency in a rat model, showing improved outcomes with DFATs combined with bFGF.

The Expression of Vesicular Glutamate Transporter 1 (VGLUT1) in the Rat Larynx and Implications for Laryngeal Proprioception

This study investigates VGLUT1 expression in rat laryngeal muscles to assess the presence of proprioceptive organs, finding few muscle spindles and no Golgi tendon organs, suggesting alternative proprioceptive structures.

Speech-based identification of L-DOPA ON/OFF state in Parkinson’s Disease subjects

This study uses speech analysis to classify Parkinson's disease patients' L-DOPA medication states with high accuracy.
