Patients ’ Demographics and Risk Factors in Voice Disorders: An Umbrella Review of Systematic Reviews
This study aimed to provide a comprehensive overview of the systematic reviews that focus on the prevalence of voice disorders (VDs), associated risk factors, and the demographic characteristics of patients with dysphonia. An umbrella review was conducted to identify general research themes in voice literature that might guide future research initiatives and contribute to the classification of VDs as a worldwide health concern.

Glottal Features in Vocal Assessment Following Thyroidectomy
Vocal dysfunction is a frequent complication following thyroidectomy that can be associated with a negative impact on patients ’ quality of life. Although the effect of thyroidectomy on acoustic features has been widely studied, the examination of glottal flow characteristics to assess vocal outcomes following thyroid gland surgery has not been included in empirical research, to date. The goal of our study was to evaluate early and short-term vocal outcomes following thyroidectomy based on the analysis of glottal acoustic features during speech production.

Type II Thyroplasty with Bilateral Partial Cricothyroid Myectomy for Vocal Tic in Child with Cerebral Dysgenesis
Vocal tics can occur in neuropsychiatric disorders and result in familial distress. Management is challenging, particularly in children with developmental delay. A 5-year-old with cerebral dysgenesis presented with a high amplitude, high-frequency vocal tic. Type II thyroplasty with bilateral cricothyroid muscle myectomy was performed after initial botulinum toxin trial. Amount, volume, and pitch of tics significantly decreased, without change in swallow. Benefits persisted at 1-year follow-up. This is the first description of combined type II thyroplasty with cricothyroid myectomy for high-frequency vocal tic. (Source: Journal of Voice)

Vocal Effort and Acoustic Analysis of Gargle Phonation Versus Water Swallow in Patients With Muscle Tension Dysphonia: A Clinical Trial
To determine the effects of gargle phonation (GP) on self-perceived vocal improvement, vocal effort, acoustic parameters, and speech rate in patients with muscle tension dysphonia (MTD). We hypothesized that GP would improve voice, reduce phonatory effort, and alter acoustic and speech measures. (Source: Journal of Voice)
