The prosody and the music of the human speech [PDF]

, 2004
We propose the use of a self-oscillating dynamical system --the pre-Galileian clock equation-- for modeling the laryngeal tone. The parameters are shown to be the minimal control needed for generating the prosody of the human speech. Based on this model, we outline a peak delay detection algorithm for extracting the prosody of the real speech.

Effect of Intraoperative Posture on Accurate Diagnostic Rate of Intraoperative Nerve Monitoring During Esophagectomy

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
Adequate contact between the intubation tube and the vocal cord muscles is crucial for effective intraoperative nerve monitoring use during esophagectomy. Additionally, intraoperative posture significantly affects diagnostic outcomes and should be carefully considered.

Parameterization of Sequence of MFCCs for DNN-based voice disorder detection [PDF]

arXiv, 2018
In this article a DNN-based system for detection of three common voice disorders (vocal nodules, polyps and cysts; laryngeal neoplasm; unilateral vocal paralysis) is presented. The input to the algorithm is (at least 3-second long) audio recording of sustained vowel sound /a:/. The algorithm was developed as part of the "2018 FEMH Voice Data Challenge"

NeoUNet: Towards accurate colon polyp segmentation and neoplasm detection [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
Automatic polyp segmentation has proven to be immensely helpful for endoscopy procedures, reducing the missing rate of adenoma detection for endoscopists while increasing efficiency. However, classifying a polyp as being neoplasm or not and segmenting it at the pixel level is still a challenging task for doctors to perform in a limited time.

Prognostic Impact of Bone Mineral Density Reduction During Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy (NAC) in Patients Undergoing NAC Followed by Esophagectomy for Esophageal Cancer

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
The association between BMD reduction during NAC and the worse prognosis remains unknown, although NAC followed by esophagectomy is a standard treatment for advanced ESCC. This study appeared that BMD massive reduction was an independent prognostic factor on OS (HR, 3.30; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.69–6.55) and RFS (HR, 2.08; 95% CI, 1.19–3.63 ...

Rhabdomyoma of larynx – A diagnaostic dilemma [PDF]

, 2013
IntroductionRhabdomyomas of the head and neck are unusual. Extracardiac rhabdomyoma is a rare benign tumor of striated muscle origin that is found in adults and children. We report a case of rhabdomyoma of the larynx, which presented a diagnostic dilemma.

Systemic Bevacizumab for Severe Recurrent Respiratory Papillomatosis

Case Reports in Oncological Medicine, 2022
Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP) is the most common benign pediatric laryngeal neoplasm. Various adjuvant medical therapies have failed to reliably decrease surgical frequency in this challenging airway disease.
