The purpose of this study was to investigate laryngeal characteristics in children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). A total of 50 children participated, including eight children aged 2 to 4 years old diagnosed with ASD and 42 normal controls at the same age. All children recorded X-ray images of the midsagittal plane of the cervical spine and larynx, and compared the laryngeal positions of ASD and control. In addition, samples of children with vowel prolongation were collected and analyzed for acoustic parameters. X-rays showed that the height of the hyoid bone in the normal group was the lowest at 3 years of age, and ascended at 4 years of age. Nevertheless, the distance from the external acoustic meatus to the hyoid bone was longest at age 4. 4-year-olds with explosive language development showed laryngeal height elevation and anteriorization. In contrast, the hyoid height of the ASD group of all ages was lower than that of the control group, and there was no difference in the hyoid position between the ages. As a result of acoustic evaluation, PFR, vFo, and vAm were significantly higher ASD than control. Low laryngeal height of ASD children may be associated with delayed language development. PFR, vFo, and vAm seem to be voice markers showing the difference between normal and ASD children.

Functional dysphonia is a specific voice disorder refers to dysphonia without abnormal anatomical vocal fold findings at larynx. The proportions of this disorder are estimated up to 40% of dysphonia patients at ENT clinics. In this article, we will discuss about other functional dysphonia and neurological dysphonia except for muslce tension dysphonia and spasmodic dysphonia. For details, will describe about phonatory charateristics and treatment options about paradoxical vocal fold motion disorder, mutational dysphonia, essential vocal tremor, conversion dysphonia, and vocal tremor related with parkinson's disease.

Somewhat less than 100 cases of neurogenic tumors of the larynx are reported in the literature. This is slowly growing tumor and is mostly schwannomas and neurofibromas, and could affect any age group. Since the first description of Von Recklinghausen's disease in 1882, about 20 cases of laryngeal involvement have been reported in the world literature. In this paper two cases of laryngeal neurofibroma will be presented: one congenital laryngeal neurofibroma in a 2-month-old boy, and one large laryngeal neurofibroma in Von Recklinghausen's disease in a 28 year old woman. The importance of conservative surgical procedure is discussed with. case presentation and literature review.

말더듬(stuttering)이란 언어-운동조절의 장애를 일으키는 운동장애(movement disorder)의 일종으로 혀, 입술, 후두를 이루는 근육과 호흡근육 등의 시간적인 부조화(inappropriate timing)로 특징지어지는 유창성장애(fluency disorder)의 하나로 인식되어 왔다. 여태까지 행동치료(behavioral treatment), 정신과적인 치료(psychiatric modalities)등이 치료의 방법으로 이용되어왔으며, 초기에는 비교적 좋은 반응을 보이나 지속적인 효과에 대해서는 회의적인 경우가 많았다.

배경 : 기능성발성장애는 해부생리학적으로 정상적인 발성기관을 갖고 있으나 잘못된 사용에서 기인하며, 기질적 이상의 결과로서 후두 생물역학의 변화에 따른 잘못된 보상기전에 의해서 일어나게 된다. 흔히 기능성발성장애는 음성치료로서 치료가 가능하나 음성치료에 반응하지 않는 경우 치료에 많은 어려움이 따른다. (중략)

Spasmodic dysphonia (SD) is a chronic, focal, speech-induced, action-specific dystonia, resulting strained voice. Muscle tension dysphonia (MTD) may also result in a strangled, strained voice quality, usually as a result of compensation for underlying laryngeal disease such as glottal insufficiency. Patients with SD and MTD were suffered from the severely limiting people's communication, especially via telephone and in noisy backgrounds. SD is usually of the adductor type characterized by glottic contractions causing tightness and voice breaks, which is difficult to distinguish from MTD. In this review article, we present the characteritics and management of SD and MTD.

노년이 되면 후두암이나 신경장애와 같은 질환의 빈도가 증가하는 것이 사실이지만 가장 흔한 음성변화의 원인은 후두의 노화현상에 따른 것이다. 연령과 무관하게 발생하는 성대결절과 같은 질환도 노화의 영향에 따라 그 심각성이 달라지게 된다. 따라서 노인의 음성문제를 다루려면 노화과정에 대한 올바른 이해가 필수적이다. (중략)

후두 악성종양의 치료로서 후두전적출술을 시행하는 경우 환자는 의사 전달수단인 언어의 장애를 동반하게 된다. 후두전적출술후 언어장애를 해결하기 위해 여러종류의 음성재활법이 제시되어 만족할 만한 결과를 얻고 있으나 그중 식도발성은 대부분의 학자들이 인정하는 가장 추천할 만한 방법이지만 시간이 걸리고 배우기가 어려워 환자들이 쉽게 단념할 수 있다는 단점이 있다. 저자들은 후두전적출술을 받은 10명의 환자에서 인두식도분절을 fluoroscopy로 관찰하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었기에 보고하는 바이다. 1) 식도발성을 잘하는 예에서는 pseudoglottis의 전후길이가 좌우길이보다 길었고 식도발성을 못하는 9례에서는 좌우길이가 전후길이보다 크거나 길었다. 2) 식도발성을 못하는 9례중 7례에서 인두식도 분절을 관찰할 수 있었다. 3) 인두식도분절에서 pseudoglottis의 모양이 식도발성을 잘하는 예에서는 정상성대와 유사하게 나타났다. 4) 식도발성을 잘하는 예에서는 pseudoglottis의 위치가 윤상인두괄약근 상방 2cm부위에서 관찰되었으며 식도발성을 못하는 9례중 6례에서는 pseudoglottis의 위치가 윤상인두괄약근 위치였으며 2례에서는 pseudoglottis가 각각 윤상인두괄약근상방 1cm, 1.5cm에 있었다.

This paper studies how to improve the identification rate of laryngeal disability speech data by convolutional neural network (CNN) and machine learning ensemble learning methods. In general, the number of laryngeal dysfunction speech data is small, so even if identifiers are constructed by statistical methods, the phenomenon caused by overfitting depending on the training method can lead to a decrease the identification rate when exposed to external data. In this work, we try to combine results derived from CNN models and machine learning models with various accuracy in a multi-voting manner to ensure improved classification efficiency compared to the original trained models. The Pusan National University Hospital (PNUH) dataset was used to train and validate algorithms. The dataset contains normal voice and voice data of benign and malignant tumors. In the experiment, an attempt was made to distinguish between normal and benign tumors and malignant tumors. As a result of the experiment, the random forest method was found to be the best ensemble method and showed an identification rate of 85%.
