Early Insights Into the Role of Personality in Adherence to Voice Rest After Phonomicrosurgery
Marianna Rubino, Ruiqing Stephanie Fan, Yin Yiu, Nelson Roy, Abigail Dueppen, Teresa Procter, Maurice Goodwin, Apurva Thekdi, Stephanie K. Daniels, Ashiwini Joshi
The purpose of this preliminary investigation was to explore the relationship
between personality and adherence to voice rest in individuals following phonosurgery for benign mucosal or submucosal/lamina propria lesions. We hypothesized that adherence to voice rest would be inversely related to Extraversion and directly related to Conscientiousness, two superfactor traits of the Big Five personality model.
Wound Healing and Special Consideration for the Professional and Performing Voice
Abigail Dueppen, Ashiwini Joshi
The purpose of this article is to review the wound healing process of
the vocal fold following phonomicrosurgery to remove benign vocal fold lesions
in professional voice users. Understanding this process and the risk of develop-
ing scar tissue at the injury site is important for treatment of these individuals.
This review also highlights special considerations during the postinjury rehabili-
tation period and the unique vocal loading tasks and needs of performing voice
users. The goal of this article is to provide clinical tools for wound healing edu-
cation to nonvoice-specialized speech-language pathologists to inform their
rehabilitation of the professional and performing voice user.
Clinical Voice Outcomes for Two Voice Rest Protocols after Phonomicrosurgery
Ruiqing Stephanie Fan , Yin Yiu, Paulina Kulesz, Abigail Dueppen, Teresa Procter , Maurice Goodwin , Apurva Thekdi, Ashiwini Joshi
Voice rest is commonly recommended for patients with benign vocal fold lesions (BVFLs) after phonomicrosurgery. The study compares the clinical voice outcomes of two protocols, 7-day complete voice rest (CVR) and 3-day CVR followed by 4-day relative voice rest (CVR + RVR), for patients with BVFLs after phonomicrosurgery.
Exploring Personality and Perceived Present Control as Factors in Postsurgical Voice Rest: A Case Comparison
Abigail Dueppen , Ashwini Joshi, Nelson Roy , Yin Yiu , Teresa Procter , Maurice Goodwin , Apurva Thekdi
This case comparison explored the relation between personality, perceived present control, and postoperative voice rest (as estimated by self-report and objective voice use) following surgery for benign vocal fold lesions.
COVID-19: Acoustic Measures of Voice in Individuals Wearing Different Facemasks
Ashwini Joshi , Teresa Procter , Paulina A. Kulesz
The global health pandemic caused by the SARS-coronavirus 2 (COVID-19) has led to the adoption of facemasks as a necessary safety precaution. Depending on the level of risk for exposure to the virus, the facemasks that are used can vary. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of different types of facemasks, typically used by healthcare professionals and the public during the COVID-19 pandemic, on measures of voice.
Cultural and Linguistic Adaptation of the Consensus Auditory-Perceptual Evaluation of Voice (CAPE-V) Into Hindi
Ashwini Joshi, Isha Baheti, Vrushali Angadi
The purpose of this study was to develop and assess the reliability of a Hindi version of the Consensus Auditory-Perceptual Evaluation of Voice (CAPE-V). Reliability was assessed by comparing Hindi CAPE-V ratings with English CAPE-V ratings and by the Grade, Roughness, Breathiness, Asthenia and Strain (GRBAS) scale.
Cultural Competency in Voice Evaluation: Considerations of Normative Standards for Sociolinguistically Diverse Voices
This study examined objective measures of voice quality assessment of monolingual speakers of Standard American English (SAE) with sequential bilingual, native (L1) French and Spanish speakers on perturbation, noise, spectral/cepstral analyses, and compared ratings on auditory-perceptual assessment with acoustic data secondary to degree of accentedness.
A Tutorial of the Current Treatment Modalities and Voice Management in Laryngeal Cancer
The purpose of this tutorial was to provide speech-language pathologists unfamiliar with the rehabilitation of laryngeal cancer a basic understanding of laryngeal cancer and the factors involved in the treatment of the voice. Conclusion This tutorial provides an overview of the types and subsites of laryngeal cancer, risk factors, stages and prognosis, and treatment options at these stages.
