EMA2S: An End-to-End Multimodal Articulatory-to-Speech System [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
Synthesized speech from articulatory movements can have real-world use for patients with vocal cord disorders, situations requiring silent speech, or in high-noise environments. In this work, we present EMA2S, an end-to-end multimodal articulatory-to-speech system that directly converts articulatory movements to speech signals.

DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT OF PARALYSIS OF THE VOCAL CORDS [PDF]

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1913
In the diagnosis of laryngeal paralysis, one must remember the normal functions of the muscles and their nerve-supply. There are four pairs of muscles on each side which act alike and one single muscle acting on both sides at once. These are supplied by two pairs of nerves, the superior and the inferior or recurrent laryngeal nerves.

Disease Aggravation With Age in an Experimental Model of Multiple Sclerosis: Role of Immunosenescence

Aging Cell, EarlyView.
Age‐related differences in EAE outcomes stem from combined peripheral and CNS factors. Key peripheral adaptive immunity changes include altered naïve/memory T cell ratios, Th1 skewing, increased suppressive Tregs, CD4+ T cell exhaustion, enhanced B cell antigen presentation, and reduced NK cell cytotoxicity.

Effects of percutaneous injection laryngoplasty on voice and swallowing problems in cancer‐related unilateral vocal cord paralysis

Laryngoscope Investigative Otolaryngology, 2021
Background Unilateral vocal cord paralysis may result from nerve compression by tumors or direct nerve injuries during tumor resections, which can cause dysphonia or dysphagia, and reduced quality of life.

Attention-Guided Generative Adversarial Network for Whisper to Normal Speech Conversion [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
Whispered speech is a special way of pronunciation without using vocal cord vibration. A whispered speech does not contain a fundamental frequency, and its energy is about 20dB lower than that of a normal speech. Converting a whispered speech into a normal speech can improve speech quality and intelligibility.

Exploring neuronal mechanisms of osteosarcopenia in older adults

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend The mechanosensitive osteocytic network within the bone matrix acts as a receptor and plays a crucial role in the functional adaptation of bone to mechanical loading. Through mechanotransduction, osteocytes convert mechanical impulses into electrical signals, which are transmitted via afferent nerves to sympathetic preganglionic ...
