Background: The present study aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of general anesthesia-assisted target-controlled plasma infusion of lidocaine in patients with vocal cord polypectomy using a supporting laryngoscope.
Methods: In total, 80 patients undergoing vocal cord polypectomy using a supporting laryngoscope were randomly divided into an intervention group and a control group; each group contained 40 subjects: both groups received general anesthesia; subjects in the intervention also received an additional 3 mg/L of lidocaine by target-controlled plasma infusion during induction and maintenance of anesthesia; heart rate (HR) mean arterial pressure (MAP), propofol and urapidil consumption (Uradil, which is a blood pressure drug that blocks alpha-1, is called Urapidi Hydrochloride Injection. It is produced by Germany, the enterprise name is Nycomed Deutschland GmbH, the import drug registration number is H20090715, and it is widely used in China), recovery time, and cough score (measured by Minogue et al's 5-grade scoring method) during extubation, and throat pain score (measured by visual analogue scale,[VAS]) after extubation and adverse events were recorded.
Results: Significant differences were observed in HR (P < .05) and MAP (P < .05) immediately after intubation (T2), immediately after the operation starting to support laryngoscope exposure (T3), immediately after operation field adrenergic tampon hemostasis (T4), and 5 minutes after hemostasis (T5) between the 2 groups, and significant differences were also observed in HR (P < .05) before intubation (T1). Moreover, significant differences were observed in propofol consumption (P < .05), urapidil consumption (P < .05), cough score during extubation (P < .05), and throat pain score after extubation (P < .05). However, no significant difference was observed in the recovery time (P > .05). Furthermore, no adverse events were detected in either group.
Conclusion: The results of this study showed that target-controlled plasma infusion of lidocaine can reduce propofol consumption in patients undergoing vocal cord polypectomy by supporting laryngoscopy, and the hemodynamics are more stable and reduce the coughing reaction in the wake period and throat pain after extubation without adverse events.

The goal of this study was to understand the interaction between the voice source spectral shape, formant tuning, and fundamental frequency in determining the vocal tract contribution to vocal intensity. Computational voice simulations were performed with parametric variations in both vocal fold and vocal tract configurations. The vocal tract contribution to vocal intensity was quantified as the difference in the A-weighted sound pressure level between the radiated sound pressure and the sound pressure at the glottis.

However, no standardized procedures have been established for the use of this system. This study aimed to identify factors affecting the diagnostic accuracy of intraoperative nerve monitoring for recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy and explore approaches to improve the precision and efficiency of intraoperative nerve monitoring in esophageal cancer surgery.

Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a progressive, adult-onset neurodegenerative disorder involving autonomic failure, cerebellar ataxia, and parkinsonism. Patients often require invasive interventions, such as gastrostomy or tracheostomy, and sudden death is common. This study aimed to elucidate patterns of invasive treatment and identify risk factors for tracheostomy or sudden death within 5 years of onset.

Glottic insufficiency results from impaired vocal fold contact, leading to a gap between the folds and manifesting as hoarseness and respiratory difficulties. Vocal folds injection is a commonly utilized therapeutic approach to rectify this gap by augmenting vocal folds volume; however, the optimal injectable material remains undetermined. Dedifferentiated fat cells (DFATs), derived from mature adipocytes, exhibit robust proliferative capacity and multipotency, establishing them as potential candidates for treating glottic insufficiency.

A 56-year old immuno-competent male from a non-endemic region in India presented with progressive weight loss, hoarseness of voice and widespread cutaneous lesions, including leonine facies, genital nodules and diffuse scaling. Magnetic resonance imaging of the neck revealed oedematous thickening of the false vocal cords, epiglottis and aryepiglottic folds, suggesting laryngeal involvement. All routine investigations were normal.
