Outcomes of Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve Reinnervation for Pediatric Unilateral Vocal Fold Paralysis
The objective of this study was to describe voice outcomes from the largest single‐center, single‐surgeon experience with recurrent laryngeal nerve reinnervation for pediatric unilateral vocal fold paralysis. In 102 patients who underwent reinnervation, we demonstrate that reinnervation is an effective and durable intervention for treatment of ...

Vocal Fold Atrophy in Patients With Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias
This is the first study to quantify vocal fold atrophy in patients with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (AD/ADRD) using endoscopic imaging. Compared with age‐matched controls, AD/ADRD patients showed significantly greater vocal fold bowing and reduced mucosal wave amplitude, while normalized glottal gap area did not differ.
