Chemodenervation of the Larynx
Toxins, 2017 Botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) has existed for thousands of years; however, it was not medically utilized until investigations into its therapeutic use began in sincerity during the late 1970s and 1980s.

Botulinum Neurotoxin Therapy in the Clinical Management of Laryngeal Dystonia
Toxins, 2022 Laryngeal dystonia (LD), or spasmodic dysphonia (SD), is a chronic, task-specific, focal movement disorder affecting the larynx. It interferes primarily with the essential functions of phonation and speech.

Clinical aspects of spasmodic dysphonia. [PDF]
Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery & Psychiatry, 1978 The clinical features of 12 patients with spasmodic dysphonia are described. In 11 patients, the voice was strained, harsh, tight, and tremulous, and was low in volume and pitch. Speech, which was sometimes barely intelligible, was interrupted by irregular stoppages and catches of the voice; it required considerable effort, and was accompanied by ...

Magnetically Controlled Spasmodic Accretion During Star Formation. II. Results [PDF]
Astrophys.J. 618 (2005) 783-794, 2004 The problem of the late accretion phase of the evolution of an axisymmetric, isothermal magnetic disk surrounding a forming star has been formulated in a companion paper. The "central sink approximation" is used to circumvent the problem of describing the evolution inside the opaque central region for densities greater than 10^11 cm^-3 and radii ...

Triangular body-cover model of the vocal folds with coordinated activation of the five intrinsic laryngeal muscles [PDF]
, 2021 Poor laryngeal muscle coordination that results in abnormal glottal posturing is believed to be a primary etiologic factor in common voice disorders such as non-phonotraumatic vocal hyperfunction. Abnormal activity of antagonistic laryngeal muscles is hypothesized to play a key role in the alteration of normal vocal fold biomechanics that results in ...

A Voice Disease Detection Method Based on MFCCs and Shallow CNN [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 The incidence rate of voice diseases is increasing year by year. The use of software for remote diagnosis is a technical development trend and has important practical value. Among voice diseases, common diseases that cause hoarseness include spasmodic dysphonia, vocal cord paralysis, vocal nodule, and vocal cord polyp.

The Infrared Continuum Spectrum of VY CMa [PDF]
Astrophys.J. 557 (2001) 844-853, 2001 We combine spectra of VY CMa obtained with the short- and long-wavelength spectrometers, SWS and LWS, on the Infrared Space Observatory to provide a first detailed continuum spectrum of this highly luminous star. The circumstellar dust cloud through which the star is observed is partially self-absorbing, which makes for complex computational modeling ...

Deep Neural Network for Automatic Assessment of Dysphonia [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 The purpose of this work is to contribute to the understanding and improvement of deep neural networks in the field of vocal quality. A neural network that predicts the perceptual assessment of overall severity of dysphonia in GRBAS scale is obtained. The design focuses on amplitude perturbations, frequency perturbations, and noise.
