Pulmonary development in Squamata: Insights from embryonic studies using micro‐CT
Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.Abstract Background Pulmonary development in tetrapods is a complex process, especially within squamates, where single‐chambered, transitional, and multi‐chambered lungs can be found in adult animals. While the embryological development of the respiratory system of lizards and snakes was studied in a number of species between the 1830s and 1940s, the ...

Subglottic Stenosis After Radioactive Iodine Treatment for Graves' Disease: A Case Report
Head &Neck, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Subglottic stenosis (SGS) is a narrowing of the airway below the glottis and may be congenital or acquired. While prolonged intubation is the most common cause of acquired SGS, other etiologies remain incompletely understood. Methods A 37‐year‐old woman presented with a four‐year history of mild progressive stridor, dysphonia, and ...

Set the controls for the heart of the alternation: Dahl’s Law in Kitharaka [PDF]
, 2013 This paper looks at Dahl’s Law, a voicing dissimilation process found in a number of Bantu languages, in Kitharaka, and argues that it is best analysed within a framework of minimal (contrastive) feature spe- cifications.

Vocal Fold Scar Treatment via Controlled Dexamethasone Delivery With a Light‐Activatable Implant
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.A light‐activatable dexamethasone implant was employed for the treatment of vocal fold (VF) scarring in a rabbit model. The implant enables controlled, repeatable drug release via near‐infrared laser irradiation, improving biomechanics, vibratory function, and histological architecture at the injury site.

On the avoidance of voiced sibilant affricates [PDF]
, 2010 In this paper it is argued that several typologically unrelated languages share the tendency to avoid voiced sibilant affricates. This tendency is explained by appealing to the phonetic properties of the sounds, and in particular to their aerodynamic ...

Software Corrections of Vocal Disorders
, 2001 We discuss how vocal disorders can be post-corrected via a simple nonlinear noise reduction scheme. This work is motivated by the need of a better understanding of voice dysfunctions.

Comparing voiced and voiceless geminates in Sienese Italian: what role does preaspiration play? [PDF]
, 2004 This paper compares the acoustic phonetic appearance of voiced & voiceless geminate stops in Sienese Italian. In our spontaneous speech data voiceless geminate stops are frequently preaspirated, which is an extremely rare phenomenon cross-linguistically.

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.This study investigates the mechanisms behind the success of selective laryngeal reinnervation surgery in bilateral vocal fold paralysis. In an animal model, the surgery promoted neuromuscular regeneration and restored coordinated vocal fold movement, with no misdirected potentials observed.

Dysphagia Characteristics in High Versus Low Vagal Unilateral Vocal Fold Paralysis
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.High vagal etiology of unilateral vocal fold paralysis (UVFP) is linked to greater swallowing dysfunction compared to low vagal etiology of UVFP, with higher rates of premature spillage, pharyngeal residue, penetration and aspiration on instrumental swallow assessment; and higher prevalence of diet and behavioral modifications recommended.
