An Euler-Bernoulli-Type Beam Model of the Vocal Folds for Describing Curved and Incomplete Glottal Closure Patterns [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
Incomplete glottal closure is a laryngeal configuration wherein the glottis is not fully obstructed prior to phonation. In this work, we introduce an Euler-Bernoulli composite beam vocal fold (VF) model that produces qualitatively similar incomplete glottal closure patterns as those observed in experimental and high-fidelity numerical studies, thus ...

Assessing proton plans with three different beam delivery systems versus photon plans for head and neck tumors

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To compare plan quality among photon volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) and intensity‐modulated proton therapy (IMPT) with robustness using three different proton beam delivery systems with various spot size (σ) ranges: cyclotron‐generated proton beams (CPBs) (σ: 2.7–7.0 mm), linear accelerator proton beams (LPBs) (σ: 2.9–5.5 mm),

Laryngeal assessment in reumatic disease patients

Brazilian Journal of Otorhinolaryngology, 2005
Rheumatic diseases usually promote several systemic disorders, which can affect blood vessels, mucosa and serosa of the aerodigestive tract. Scarce laryngeal involvement has been described in these patients and this study aims at investigating laryngeal alterations found in patients with rheumatic diseases.Transversal cohort.A transversal study was ...

Exposures to pesticides and risk of cancer: Evaluation of recent epidemiological evidence in humans and paths forward

International Journal of Cancer, Volume 152, Issue 5, Page 879-912, 1 March 2023., 2023
Abstract Knowledge of the role in cancer etiology of environmental exposures as pesticides is a prerequisite for primary prevention. We review 63 epidemiological studies on exposure to pesticides and cancer risk in humans published from 2017 to 2021, with emphasis on new findings, methodological approaches, and gaps in the existing literature.

Sustainable Sensors Prepared by Environmentally Benign Means for Improving the Environmental Footprint of Wearable Electronics

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A stretchable and bendable resistance sensor made predominantly from sustainable and biodegradable components is conductive courtesy a water soluble self‐doped conjugated polymer. The wearable sensor measures micromovements by changes in its resistance and it can track both human movement and phonation. Abstract Sustainable electronic devices offer the
