Glycolytic Metabolism of the Tissue Stem Cells in the Maculae Flavae of the Human Vocal Fold
Metabolic programs in the stem cells are essential for maintaining homeostasis and protecting against stem cell aging. There is growing evidence that the tissue stem cells reside in the anterior and posterior maculae flavae of the human vocal fold mucosa. Our previous studies observed that the glycolysis of the cell in the human maculae flavae seems to rely more on anaerobic glycolysis for energy supply in comparison with oxidative phosphorylation. However, previous studies showed only the metabolic enzymes of glycolysis and functional morphology of the mitochondria, therefore, it has not yet been determined whether anaero...

Relationships Among Stimulability Testing, Patient Factors, and Voice Therapy Compliance
Voice stimulability testing to determine voice therapy efficacy and prognosis is commonly used during the voice evaluation, but little is known about how patient factors (eg, voice diagnosis, dysphonia severity) can influence stimulability outcomes. The predictability of voice therapy success with different stimulability facilitating techniques (eg, hums, pitch glides) is also unknown. The goals of this study were to identify relationships between patient factors, voice therapy compliance, and stimulability testing. (Source: Journal of Voice)
