Middle-Ear Resonance Frequency and Eustachian Tube Function in Players of Wind Instruments
Conclusion: This is the first study to uses multifrequency tympanometry to examine the middle-ear RF and eustachian tube function of wind instrument musicians in an orchestra. Eustachian tube dysfunction was found to be more prominent and a higher RF of the middle ear was seen after a performance, especially in players of wood wind instruments. However, the effect of these on the professional performance of players of wind instruments should be investigated in future work.Folia Phoniatr Logop (Source: Folia Phoniatrica et Logopaedica)

The Effect of Clear Speech on Cantonese Alaryngeal Speakers ’ Intelligibility
Conclusion: Preliminary data indicate that CS may significantly affect Cantonese alaryngeal speakers ’ speaking rate and intelligibility. However, intelligibility appeared to vary considerably across speakers. Further research involving larger, heterogeneous groups of speakers and listeners alongside longer and more refined CS training protocols should be conducted to confirm that CS can improve Cantonese alaryngeal speakers’ intelligibility.Folia Phoniatr Logop (Source: Folia Phoniatrica et Logopaedica)

The Lidcombe Program for Early Stuttering in Non-English-Speaking Countries: A Systematic Review
Background: The Lidcombe Program is a stuttering treatment approach for children between the ages of 3 and 6 years. Most papers about the Lidcombe Program, however, are based on studies conducted in native English-speaking countries. The aim of this paper is to systematically review the delivery and implementation of the Lidcombe Program in non-native English-speaking countries.Summary: A resource search was conducted between October and November 2019. Scopus, PubMed, ASHA, Cochrane Library, ERIC, Google Scholar, and SpeechBITE databases and reference lists of relevant papers were searched for the identification process. J...

Effects of Prosody Rehabilitation on Acoustic Analysis of Prosodic Features in Hearing-Impaired Children: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Conclusions: Prosody is amenable to motor learning. The Prosody Treatment Program seems to be an effective rehabilitation tool in improving some prosodic skills of hearing-impaired children. Prosodic rehabilitation showed superiority to conventional auditory and language training in improving the expression of some prosodic features and pragmatic language skills.Folia Phoniatr Logop (Source: Folia Phoniatrica et Logopaedica)

How Accurate Are the Consistency Labels Used in Hong Kong? An Objective Study of the Consistency of Thickened Liquids Using International Dysphagia Diet Standardisation Initiative and Consistometric Measurements
Conclusion: Though prepared strictly following the manufacturer ’s instructions, the thickened liquids fail to faithfully correlate with the standardized norms established according to the IDDSI framework and the objective consistometric measurement using a Bostwick consistometer. Therefore, caution must be exercised when administering a thickened diet followi ng the manufacturer’s instructions for patients with dysphagia. (Source: Folia Phoniatrica et Logopaedica)

Comparing the Temporal Aspects of Velopharyngeal Closure in Children with and without Cleft Palate
Conclusions: The examined temporal parameters offer more accurate characterizations of velopharygeal closure, thereby allowing more accurate clinical assessments and more appropriate treatment procedures. Children with cleft palate showed longer nasalization durations compared to those without the same. Thus, the degree of hypernasality in children with cleft palate may affect the temporal aspects of nasalization.Folia Phoniatr Logop (Source: Folia Phoniatrica et Logopaedica)

Tongue and Lip Comparisons between Healthy and Nondysphagic Poststroke Individuals
Conclusion: Although poststroke participants reported functional swallowing abilities, there were differences in tongue and lip pressures but not in endurance or saliva swallow pressures.Clinical Rehabilitation Impact: Poststroke individuals without complaints of dysphagia who are not assessed may experience subclinical dysphagia that could negatively impact their nutrition and quality of life.Folia Phoniatr Logop (Source: Folia Phoniatrica et Logopaedica)
