Filter by:The aim is to gain information about vocal hygiene knowledge level, phonotrauma behavior frequency, voice-related quality of life, and voice handicap index scores in children diagnosed with ADHD aged 8 to 11, through inter-group comparisons of scale and questionnaire data between children diagnosed with ADHD and control group participants aged 8 to 11.
Before an anesthetic procedure, airway management is essential to ensure adequate ventilation and breathing of the patient during the entire surgical process. The preanesthetic evaluation of the airway allows for proper planning, facilitates the anticipation of human resources and necessary means to face the possible challenges in a safe and efficient way. Orofacial mask ventilation and endotracheal intubation are a crucial step in general anesthesia. Most of the time, management is not complicated, but when an unpredicted difficult airway occurs, it is currently one of the most important challenges to face as an anesthesiologist. These situations are rare as the prevalence of a difficult airway is approximately 2.2% of the general population. When there is a case of a difficult airway and adequate management is not achieved, very serious complications may occur including brain damage, cardio-respiratory arrest, aspiration of gastric content, traumatic airway injuries, tooth damage, unnecessary surgical access to keep the airway permeable or death. For these reasons, in anesthesia, an unforeseen difficult airway is considered a crisis situation. Therefore, a preoperative airway assessment is paramount. Traditional predictive tests evaluate multiple anthropometric characteristics in which the physical presence of the patient is mandatory. However, no test can currently predict a difficult airway based on a single characteristic nor in the patient's absence. Nowadays, the optimization of resources and new technologies have increased interest in developing new tests or methods for preoperatively assessing the difficulty of the airway and new methods of airway evaluation have been proposed. As recently demonstrated, the detection of a difficult airway depends not only on the morphology but also on functional traits of the airway. Some studies propose the analysis of voice parameters as a reflection of anatomical and functional features of the superior airway. The investigators propose that the analysis of voice characteristics could reflect the airway's anatomy and therefore the investigators will be able to predict a difficult airway, and this would enable the development of a voice-based assessment method which could have an promising role in facilitating telematic airway evaluation.
A total of 64 preterm infants born before 37 weeks of gestation and their mothers were randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups. The intervention used in the experimental group involved an audio recording with repeated clips of the mother reading a children's book, edited to a duration of 13 minutes. The research commenced on the fourth day after the birth of the research subjects, in which the maternal voice recording was played to infants during heel lance procedure once a day for 3 consecutive days. The infants in the control group received general routine care during heel lance procedure. Physiological indicators, including heart rate, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation, and pain response assessed using the Neonatal Infants Pain Scale (NIPS), were recorded 3 minutes before, during, and at the first and 10th minute after heel lance procedure. From the fourth to the sixth day after birth, video recordings of the research process were made and sent to the mother for viewing. On the seventh day after birth, the effectiveness of mother-infant bonding was evaluated using the Mother-Infant Bonding Inventory (MIBI).
This study aims to observe the physiological effects of two different Semi-occluded vocal tract (SOVT) exercises in the larynx when they are executed by individuals with constant vocal effort and without vocal pathology.
