Effect of Vocal Fry on Voice and on Velopharyngeal Sphincter

International Archives of Otorhinolaryngology, 2016
Introduction It is known that the basal sound promotes shortening and adduction of the vocal folds and leaves the mucosa looser. However there are few studies that address the supralaryngeal physiological findings obtained using the technique.

Drug‐Induced Sleep Endoscopy in Children Predicts OSA Severity

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background While adenotonsillectomy (AT) is first line for pediatric obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), treatment failure is common. Drug‐induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) provides dynamic airway assessment, but its role in predicting OSA severity requires clarification. This study correlates DISE findings with polysomnographic severity. Objective To

Obstructive Sleep Apnea: Epidemiology, Pathophysiology, Complications, Diagnosis, Management, and Emerging Fibrosis‐Linked Remodeling

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 8, August 2026.
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is characterized by recurrent upper‐airway collapse, which generates key nocturnal stressors including intermittent hypoxia, sleep fragmentation, intrathoracic pressure stress, and sympathetic activation. These physiological disturbances converge on shared biological mechanisms, including oxidative stress, inflammation ...

Superiorly based pharyngeal flap versus myomucosal resection and direct closure of the posterior pharyngeal wall (Mahrous technique) for surgical correction of velopharyngeal insufficiency

Journal of Cleft Lip Palate and Craniofacial Anomalies
Introduction: Superiorly based pharyngeal flap is one of the most common surgical techniques described for surgical correction of velopharyngeal disorders. Being a technique-sensitive and owing to its associated complications, a simple technique has been

Speech and Deep Brain Stimulation in Parkinson's Disease, Essential Tremor, and Dystonia: A Systematic Review and Meta‐analysis

Movement Disorders, Volume 41, Issue 8, Page 1928-1978, August 2026.
Abstract Deep brain stimulation (DBS) effectively treats motor symptoms in movement disorders but often compromises speech through incompletely defined mechanisms. We conducted a PROSPERO‐registered systematic review and meta‐analysis of publications through August 2024 (CRD42024527738).

The Pharyngeal Resistance Index—A Promising Diagnostic Tool in OSA

Journal of Sleep Research, Volume 35, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the newly developed pharyngeal resistance index derived from computational fluid dynamics analysis of the upper airway in patients with obstructive sleep apnea. The aim was to evaluate this index as a diagnostic and severity assessment tool by comparing it with the apnea‐hypopnea index before and after maxillomandibular

From Behavioral and Sleep Disturbances to Genetic Diagnosis: Smith–Magenis Syndrome and the Importance of the Diagnostic Pathway

Developmental Neurobiology, Volume 86, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Smith–Magenis syndrome (SMS) is a rare multisystem genetic disorder caused by a 17p11.2 microdeletion or pathogenic variants in the retinoic acid‐induced 1 (RAI1) gene. It is characterized by developmental delay, distinctive craniofacial features, behavioral dysregulation, and inverted sleep–wake rhythm.
