Videolaryngostroboscopy (VLS) is considered gold standard method for assessing voice disorders. But patients with irregular waveform of vocal folds cannot benefit from the VLS. Videokymography [VKG] is a single line real time, high speed imaging technique. It detects voice disorders based on vocal fold vibration characteristics whether the vibrations are regular or irregular. There is no standard clinical protocol or evidence on the clinical relevance of VKG for functional assessment of voice disorders. Since mechanism of voice production depends on vibration characteristics, VKG imaging leads to new possibilities for diagnosis, objective documentation and monitoring of vocal fold behavior in clinical practice in case of voice disorders. This study aims to evaluate clinical value of VKG in addition to VLS as a complementary tool for the assessment of voice disorder.

This study examines how choral singing functions as a mechanism for sustaining ritual practice and reinforcing cultural identity. By integrating perspectives from musicology, social psychology, and cognitive science, it explores how collective vocal performance supports emotional attunement, group cohesion, and symbolic memory in culturally diverse contexts. A mixed-methods approach was applied, combining ethnographic observation, survey-based data, and cognitive measures with AI-informed frameworks such as voice emotion recognition and neural synchrony modeling.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the age at which children with voice disorders can complete videostroboscopy, acoustic, and aerodynamic voice assessments. Factors predicting videostroboscopy tolerance were examined.
Method: A retrospective observational cohort design was used.

Purpose: Prior studies of vocal auditory-motor control in people with hyperfunctional voice disorders (HVDs) have found evidence of unusually large responses to auditory feedback perturbations of fundamental frequency (0) and more variable voice onset times in unperturbed speech. However, it is unknown whether people with HVDs perform similarly to people with typical voices when asked to make small changes in vocal parameters in volitional tasks. The purpose of this study was to compare performance on minimal movement tasks for 0 and intensity in people with and without HVDs.

Objective: To analyze the association between the risk of voice disorders and sociodemographic, work, and general health factors in urban and rural school teachers.
Methods: This is an observational, cross-sectional, analytical study with 1705 teachers from urban schools and 202 from rural schools teaching elementary and high school in Minas Gerais, Brazil. The exclusion criteria were being retired or no longer teaching and/or not accepting to participate in the study.
