Applications of Artificial Intelligence in Neurological Voice Disorders

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Neurological voice disorders, such as Parkinson's disease, laryngeal dystonia, and stroke‐induced dysarthria, significantly impact speech production and communication. Traditional diagnostic methods rely on subjective assessment, whereas artificial intelligence (AI) offers objective, noninvasive, and scalable solutions for voice analysis. This

Sodium Oxybate‐Treated Familial Myoclonus‐Dystonia Syndrome Due to Novel SGCE Variant

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, Volume 197, Issue 5, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Myoclonus‐dystonia syndrome (MDS, OMIM #159900) is an autosomal‐dominant movement disorder caused by heterozygous variants in the epsilon sarcoglycan gene (SGCE) and characterized by a combination of myoclonic jerks, dystonia, and psychiatric comorbidities.

Long-Term Effect of Sodium Oxybate (Xyrem®) in Spasmodic Dysphonia with Vocal Tremor

Tremor and Other Hyperkinetic Movements, 2013
Background: Symptoms of spasmodic dysphonia (SD) are usually managed successfully with botulinum toxin injections. Vocal tremor (VT), which accompanies SD, has a poor response to this treatment.Case Report: We report a case of a female with SD and VT who

Protostar Formation in Magnetic Molecular Clouds beyond Ion Detachment: II. Typical Axisymmetric Solution [PDF]

Astrophys.J.660:388-401,2007, 2007
We follow the ambipolar-diffusion--driven formation and evolution of a fragment in a magnetically supported molecular cloud, until a hydrostatic protostellar core forms at its center. This problem was formulated in Paper I. We determine the density, velocity and magnetic field as functions of space and time, and the contribution of ambipolar diffusion ...

Utility of laryngeal electromyography for establishing prognosis and individualized treatment after laryngeal neuropathies

Muscle &Nerve, Volume 71, Issue 5, Page 833-845, May 2025.
Abstract Laryngeal electromyography (LEMG) is a technique used to characterize neuropathic injuries to the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) and superior laryngeal nerve (SLN). The RLN and SLN innervate the laryngeal muscles to produce vocal fold (VF) motion and elongation, respectively. VF motion deficiencies can affect voice, swallowing, and breathing,

Continuous Speech for Improved Learning Pathological Voice Disorders [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
Goal: Numerous studies had successfully differentiated normal and abnormal voice samples. Nevertheless, further classification had rarely been attempted. This study proposes a novel approach, using continuous Mandarin speech instead of a single vowel, to classify four common voice disorders (i.e.
