Article Abstract
Objective: To analyze vocal fold vibration onset in patients with adductor laryngeal dystonia (ADLD) by analyzing vocal vibration opening onset position (VVOOP).
Study Design: Case-control study SETTING: A voice center.
Methods: Eleven patients with ADLD diagnosed in our voice center were enrolled in the ADLD group. Eleven healthy subjects matched by exact age and gender to the ADLD patients were selected as the control group. All subjects underwent laryngeal high-speed video endoscopy. VVOOP and its change were assessed by two otolaryngologists. The multiline video kymography was used to analyze the open quotient (OQ) and standard deviation of OQ.
Results: VVOOP had more than one position in 54.6% (6/11) of the patients with ADLD, which was higher than the control group (P < 0.05). VVOOP appeared in the front of the vocal fold in 54.6% (6/11) of patients with ADLD and in the back of the vocal fold in 81.8% (9/11) of patients with ADLD. VVOOP can be abnormal in 90.9% (10/11) of patients with ADLD, and the rate of VVOOP abnormality was higher than that of the control group (P < 0.05). Of 11, 6 (54.6%) patients with ADLD had a variable VVOOP; the variability rate of VVOOP was higher than that in the control group (P < 0.05). OQ and OQ standard deviation in the ADLD group were significantly greater than in the control group (P < 0.05).
Conclusions: In patients with ADLD, vocal fold vibration was irregular, and VVOOP was abnormal and had a variable position and could reflect variability of the vocal vibration.
Level Of Evidence: Level 4.

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.

Objective: To investigate differences between the structural aspects and laryngeal functionality before and after a vocal loading activity and their association with symptoms of vocal fatigue (VF).
Methods: Young adults without vocal complaints and who use professional or nonprofessional voices participated in the research. Videolaryngostroboscopy (VLS) exams were performed before and after a vocal loading activity to which the participants were submitted, characterized by reading texts at high vocal intensity lasting 90 minutes.

Hydrogels exhibit significant promise for advanced flexible sensing applications owing to their intrinsic softness, biocompatibility, and customizable functionalities. Nevertheless, their limited mechanical strength poses a critical barrier to practical implementation. In this study, we engineered a mechanically robust alginate/chitosan (SA/CS) hydrogel reinforced with meta-aramid (PMIA) nanofibers.

Stroke is a leading cause of long-term disability worldwide, with post-stroke aphasia significantly impairing communication and social interaction. Traditional rehabilitation devices are often bulky, expensive, and impractical for daily use, particularly in speech recovery, where accessible and effective solutions remain limited. To address this challenge, this study introduces a portable and wearable sensor system for stroke-induced aphasia rehabilitation.
