Effect of Smoking on Cepstral Parameters
This study explored the effects of smoking, smoking time, and smoking amount on cepstral parameters. We collected the acoustic signals of sustained vowels in 301 participants (135 smokers and 166 nonsmokers). The cepstral parameters, including cepstral peak prominence (CPP), CPP standard deviation (CPP SD), low to high-frequency spectral ratio (L/H), low to high-frequency spectral ratio standard deviation (L/H SD), and voice disorder cepstral/spectral index of dysphonia (CSID), of the sustained vowels were investigated through the analysis of dysphonia in speech and voice (ADSV) application.

Impact of the Sars-COVID-19 Pandemic on the “Early Diagnosis” of Laryngeal Tumors: Data From Monocentric Tertiary Care Hospital of South Italy
The aim of this retrospective case-control study is to investigate how the Sars-COVID-19 pandemic has influenced the delay in the early diagnosis of laryngeal cancer in patients who visited the University Hospital “G. Martino” in the last 3 years of the pandemic. It is also proposed to compare the diagnosis, surgical staging, and therapeutic approach offered to patients affected by laryngeal cancer in the years affected by the COVID-19 pandemic compared to cases treated during the 3 years preceding the pandemic (Source: Journal of Voice)

Vocal Fatigue Experiences and Mitigation Strategies in the Sacred Harp Singing Community
Sacred Harp singers sing at a high volume for sustained periods of time without collective warm-up or cool-down exercises, ostensibly putting them at elevated risk for vocal fatigue (VF) and associated vocal pathologies. Participants are also likely to lack formal vocal training. The purpose of this study was to (1) assess singers ’ experiences with VF, (2) document singers’ strategies for mitigating VF, and (3) determine whether vocal training was associated with decreased vocal difficulties.
