This study explored a novel strategy to restore the vocal gap by using cross-linked β-glucan hydrogel by γ-irradiation. An aqueous solution of 5 wt% β-glucan was prepared and cross-linked using (60)Co γ irradiation. Ten nude mice were injected with 0...
OBJECTIVE: This work presents a computer-based approach to analyze the two-dimensional vocal fold dynamics of endoscopic high-speed videos, and constitutes an extension and generalization of a previously proposed wavelet-based procedure. While most a...
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS: We expanded our prior work with transnasal robotic surgery (TNRS) in this study with the following aims: 1) use a cadaveric model to evaluate the feasibility of laryngoplasty with TNRS, 2) measure robot insertion times and forc...

Neurogenic voice disorders (NVDs) are caused by damage or malfunction of the central or peripheral nervous system that controls vocal fold movement. In this paper, we investigate the potential of the Fisher vector (FV) encoding in automatic detection...

The electroglottographic (EGG) signal offers a non-invasive approach to analyze phonation. It is known, if not obvious, that the onset of vocal fold contacting has a substantial effect on how the vocal folds vibrate and on the quality of the voice. G...
Airway procedures in life-threatening situations are vital for saving lives. Video laryngoscopy (VL) is commonly performed during endotracheal intubation (ETI) in the emergency department. Artificial intelligence (AI) is widely used in the medical fi...
This paper proposes a deep learning-based generalized empirical flow model (EFM) that can provide a fast and accurate prediction of the glottal flow during normal phonation. The approach is based on the assumption that the vibration of the vocal fold...
The methods of measuring laryngeal elevation during swallowing are time-consuming. We aimed to propose a quick-to-use neural network (NN) model for measuring laryngeal elevation quantitatively using anatomical structures auto-segmented by Mask region...
