Vocal Fold Augmentation with Beta Glucan Hydrogel Cross-Linked by γ Irradiation for Enhanced Duration of Effect: In Vivo Animal Study.

BioMed research international
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...

Robot-assisted transnasal laryngoplasty in cadaveric models: Quantifying forces and identifying challenges.

The Laryngoscope
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...

Detection of Neurogenic Voice Disorders Using the Fisher Vector Representation of Cepstral Features.

Journal of voice : official journal of the Voice Foundation
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...

A WaveNet-based model for predicting the electroglottographic signal from the acoustic voice signal.

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America
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...

Development and validation of an artificial intelligence algorithm for detecting vocal cords in video laryngoscopy.

Medicine
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...

A Deep Learning-Based Generalized Empirical Flow Model of Glottal Flow During Normal Phonation.

Journal of biomechanical engineering
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...

Measurement of laryngeal elevation by automated segmentation using Mask R-CNN.

Medicine
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...
