Using the superiorly based pharyngeal flap to surgically manage cleft velopharyngeal insufficiency: a cohort study

Australasian Journal of Plastic Surgery
**Introduction**: The surgical management of velopharyngeal insufficiency is traditionally guided by algorithms based on dynamic imaging, such as nasoendoscopy and video fluoroscopy. In practice, however, surgeons often favour a single surgical technique

Otolarylogical features in a cohort of patients affected with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome: a monocentric survey [PDF]

, 2018
Otorhinolaryngologic manifestations are common in 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11.2DS), but poorly described. This study aimed to better define the ear-nose-throat (ENT) phenotype of 22q11.2DS patients, in the attempt to best detect subjects ...

Acute Effects of the 5‐Hydroxytryptamine Type 4 Receptor Agonist Mosapride on Pharyngeal Swallowing Physiology in Adults

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The 5‐hydroxytryptamine type 4 receptor agonist mosapride is known to modulate esophageal peristalsis and enhance lower esophageal sphincter compliance. However, its impact on oropharyngeal swallowing physiology remains insufficiently characterized.

Quality of Life Impact of Velopharyngeal Insufficiency: The Role of Social Determinants of Health

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This study examined the association between social determinants of health and caregiver‐reported quality of life in children with velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI). Higher socioeconomic status was associated with improved VELO scores, whereas more favorable health/environmental conditions correlated with worse outcomes.

Treatment of velopharyngeal insufficiency by autologous fat injection [PDF]

, 2018
Velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI) is a structural or functional trouble, which causes hypernasal speech. Velopharyngeal flaps, speech therapy and augmentation pharyngoplasty, using different implants, have all been used to address this trouble.

Dysphagia Characteristics in High Versus Low Vagal Unilateral Vocal Fold Paralysis

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
High vagal etiology of unilateral vocal fold paralysis (UVFP) is linked to greater swallowing dysfunction compared to low vagal etiology of UVFP, with higher rates of premature spillage, pharyngeal residue, penetration and aspiration on instrumental swallow assessment; and higher prevalence of diet and behavioral modifications recommended.

Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain and vocal tract:Applications to the study of speech production and language learning [PDF]

, 2017
The human vocal system is highly plastic, allowing for the flexible expression of language, mood and intentions. However, this plasticity is not stable throughout the life span, and it is well documented that adult learners encounter greater difficulty ...
