Visible Epiglottis in an Older Adult: A Potential Indicator of Presbyphagia
Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.ABSTRACT Macroscopic visualization of the epiglottis during routine oral examination is uncommon but may suggest swallowing dysfunction in older adults. This finding may be associated with age‐related changes in tongue‐base support and may warrant further assessment of swallowing function.

Bronchial Mucosal Abnormalities in Idiopathic Subglottic Stenosis
The Laryngoscope, Volume 136, Issue 8, Page 3527-3533, August 2026.Idiopathic subglottic stenosis (iSGS) is a challenging variant of airway stenosis associated with consistent distal airway abnormalities on bronchoscopy, including pits, depressions, and striations. Despite these findings, most patients demonstrate normal or mild–moderate obstruction on spirometry.

Endoscopic Sealing With a PGA Sheet to Reduce Scarring After Vocal Fold Mucosal Resection
Laryngoscope Investigative Otolaryngology, Volume 11, Issue 4, August 2026.We evaluated whether endoscopic sealing of vocal fold defects using a polyglycolic acid (PGA) sheet with fibrin glue improves postoperative voice outcomes after transoral laser microsurgery for early glottic lesions. PGA sealing was associated with earlier recovery of glottal closure and mucosal wave on videostroboscopy, as well as improved perceptual ...

Beyond the Nerves: Thyroid Autoimmunity as a Non‐Neural Factor for Post‐Thyroidectomy Dysphonia
Laryngoscope Investigative Otolaryngology, Volume 11, Issue 4, August 2026.ABSTRACT Objectives This study aims to investigate the impact of elevated preoperative thyroid autoantibodies, a proposed non‐neural contributor, on postoperative voice outcomes, specifically within a cohort of patients undergoing nerve‐preserved thyroidectomy verified by intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM).

Physiological mechanisms and therapeutic targets in chronic cough
Physiological Reports, Volume 14, Issue 15, August 2026.Abstract Cough is a vital defensive reflex that safeguards the airways; however, it can become maladaptive and pathological. Chronic cough (>8 weeks in duration) affects up to 10% of the global adult population and is associated with considerable health status impairment. The understanding of cough physiology remains limited.

THE SUPERVISION OF SPEECH PRODUCTION - AN ISSUE IN SPEECH THEORY
Speech and HearingPhonology describes the same data as phonetics, but whereas phonetics models physical detail phonology models abstract relationships between units within the data. These units are defined within the general framework of linguistic theory.
