Influence of Utterance and Speaker Characteristics on the Classification of Children with Cleft Lip and Palate [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Recent findings show that pre-trained wav2vec 2.0 models are reliable feature extractors for various speaker characteristics classification tasks. We show that latent representations extracted at different layers of a pre-trained wav2vec 2.0 system can be used as features for binary classification to distinguish between children with Cleft Lip and ...

The velar chord and dynamic integration of the gular valve in crocodylians
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Crocodilians have a unique gular valve that forms a seal between the oral cavity and the pharynx. The gular valve has traditionally been treated as two parts: a mobile ventral flap associated with the tongue and a fixed dorsal velum palatini. This work describes a connective tissue band, the velar chord, which functionally integrates the two parts of ...

Spindle Cell Lipoma of the Soft Palate
Case Reports in Otolaryngology, 2015 Intraoral spindle cell lipomas (SCL) are very rare and comprise ranging between 1.4%–9.8% of all intraoral lipomas. To our knowledge, no case of a SCL located on the soft palate has been reported in the English-language literature.

Probing the in-mouth texture perception with a biomimetic tongue [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 An experimental biomimetic tongue-palate system has been developed to probe human in-mouth texture perception. Model tongues are made from soft elastomers patterned with fibrillar structures analogue to human filiform papillae. The palate is represented by a rigid flat plate parallel to the plane of the tongue. To probe the behavior under physiological

Solitary isolated neurofibroma of the soft palate
Journal of Surgical Case Reports, 2013 Neurofibroma of the soft palate is an unusual tumor and probably only two cases have been reported in English literature previously. Solitary isolated neurofibroma of the soft palate not associated with von Recklinghausen's disease is even more ...

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Megantereon was a widespread saber‐toothed felid from the Pliocene and Pleistocene of the Old World and North America, but its rarity in the fossil record makes it complicated to restore its life appearance. Lack of complete specimens makes it necessary to combine information from fossils of different individuals to reconstruct their facial ...

The Role of Nasendoscopy in the Fabrication of a Palatopharyngeal Obturator – A Case Report [PDF]
Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2014 Defects confined to the hard palate can be managed with relative ease because it is a static shelf creating oro- nasal separation. Since the soft palate is a dynamic separator between the oral and nasal cavities, defects involving the soft palate ...

Processing Phoneme Specific Segments for Cleft Lip and Palate Speech Enhancement [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 The cleft lip and palate (CLP) speech intelligibility is distorted due to the deformation in their articulatory system. For addressing the same, a few previous works perform phoneme specific modification in CLP speech. In CLP speech, both the articulation error and the nasalization distorts the intelligibility of a word. Consequently, modification of a

Myoepithelioma of the Soft Palate: A Case Report
Case Reports in Otolaryngology, 2013 Myoepitheliomas are rare benign tumors of myoepithelial cell origin, most commonly seen in parotid gland. These tumors are also reported in oral cavity, soft palate being the most common site of involvement.

Early life functional transitions impact craniofacial morphology in osteogenesis imperfecta
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Early life behaviors have a profound role in shaping adult craniofacial morphology. During early life, all mammals undergo the dynamic transition from suckling to mastication, a period coinciding with rapid cranial biomineralization. Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), a genetic disorder that impacts the production of type I collagen, disrupts ...
