Introduction: Obesity is an important public health problem, and for some authors, excess weight modifies vocal performance due abnormal fat deposition in the abdominal region and in the airways. Vocal symptoms are more frequent in obese and the voice is described as hoarse, breathy and unstable. The values of f0 and the maximum phonation time are also below normative. Excessive and abrup…
The process of the senility does not spare the structures of the larynx and presbyphonia is a physiological event related to the aging voice. It starts from the sixth decade of life, with the main vocal symptoms: hoarseness, phonasthenia, voice trembling and decreased of the vocal range. The fundamental frequency of the voices of elderly women becomes lower and of the elderly men becomes …
Introduction: The presbyphonia correspond to the process of vocal senility. There are loss of vocal intensity, reduction of harmonics, decreased vocal range, reduction in speech rate, decrease in intensity and vocal tremor. Perceptive and acoustic vocal analyses show increase in the percentage of jitter, increasing the variety of pitch, reducing of the maximum phonation time, increased of…

AbstractIntroduction: Vocal fold paralysis, unilateral or bilateral, results from involvement of the vagus nerve and its recurrent laryngeal branches, due to neurological, traumatic, surgical/iatrogenic, compressive, infectious or idiopathic causes. Diagnosis is clinical and videolaryngoscopic. Treatments include speech therapy, injectable laryngoplasty, thyroplasty and reinnervation. Obj…
Introduction: The otorhinolaryngologist, in many situations, is the first health professional to assist the patient with covid-19, given the high frequency of symptoms involving the specialty, since the viral condition is transmitted through the respiratory tract by aerosols. Common symptoms include changes in smell and taste, sore throat, dry cough, deafness, vertigo, recurrent ear infec…

The physiological deterioration of the elderly's voice is called presbyphonia, characterized by symptoms of: hoarseness, excessive throat clearing, vocal fatigue, coughing, breathlessness and vocal tremor, among others. This changes occur due to the modifications in the larynx, such as calcification of cartilage, muscle atrophy and, in the vocal folds, an increase in the amount of collage…

The fibroblasts present in the layers of the vocal chords are responsible for the synthesis of the entire extracellular material, playing a key role in supporting the lamina propria both in normal physiological conditions and in the diseases and more recently in aging. When tissue is injured, they become activated and differentiate into myofibroblasts, which generate a large contraction a…
