Analysis of Voice Quality After Thyroid Surgery
Voice changes are a common complication after a thyroidectomy, which is a surgical procedure involving partial or total removal of the thyroid gland. The main objective of this work is to examine the possible voice disorders after thyroid surgery. More precisely, it is an investigation of partial and total thyroidectomy, as well as the effects that cancerous and nonca ncerous thyroid glands can have regarding postsurgical vocal and their association with age and gender.

Office-Based Laser Therapy for Vocal Fold Cyst: A Promising Alternative Therapy Using the 445 nm Blue Laser
Vocal fold cysts are benign lesions commonly encountered in laryngology practice. They are traditionally classified as mucus retention cysts and epidermoid cysts. The mainstay treatment is surgical excision with diligent dissection of the cyst wall. The authors of this manuscript report a series of two cases of vocal fold mucous retention cysts and one case of vocal fold pseudocyst treated with the blue laser (Wolf TruBlue 445 nm; A.R.C. Laser Company) in an office setting. All three cases had complete regression of the lesion with improved glottic closure and mucosal waves during phonation. (Source: Journal of Voice)

Test-Retest Reliability of the Acoustic Voice Quality Index and the Acoustic Breathiness Index
The acoustic voice quality index (AVQI) and the acoustic breathiness index (ABI) are two validated measurements for the objective-acoustic assessment of voice quality. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relative and absolute reliability of AVQI and ABI as well as detect the natural variability of vocally-healthy voices. (Source: Journal of Voice)

An Exploration of the Risk Factors, Severity, and Sequelae of Vocal Fold Hemorrhage in a Population of Voice Patients Before and After Diagnosis
Vocal fold hemorrhage (VFH) is the rupture (usually acute) of a blood vessel within the true vocal fold. The long-term sequelae of VFH on the mucosal wave (MW) and glottic gap on video stroboscopy remain understudied. The primary objective of this study was to investigate the short-term and long-term consequences of VFH through measured and rated analysis of the mucosal wave and glottic gap.

Reducing Vocal Fatigue While Preserving Realism During Video Game Voice-Overs Using the Vocal Combat Technique: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Vocal Combat Technique (VCT) teaches indirect and direct behavioral voice techniques to voice-over artists performing in violent video games. Although previous work on VCT has shown promise for mitigating dysphonia symptoms, a randomized clinical trial has yet to be undertaken. Therefore, we completed a randomized, controlled trial between a group of experienced video game voice-over actors receiving VCT and a control group comparison. (Source: Journal of Voice)

Introduction of Voice Type Component (VTC) as an Effective Acoustic Voice Analysis Method in Tele-evaluation
Telepractice in voice health care and evaluation services has attracted much attention in recent years. Multiple studies have proven the effectiveness of voice therapy with telepractice. However, voice evaluations are still mostly conducted in person due to the lack of sensitive acoustic analysis methods. (Source: Journal of Voice)
