laryngopharyngeal reflux/asthenia

Cleavage of E-cadherin and the resultant weakness in the cell-cell links in the laryngeal epithelium lining is induced by exposure to acidic contents of the refluxate. Herein, we aimed to evaluate the role of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) in inducing E-cadherin level changes following acid

Laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) is an inflammatory condition suspected to be associated with dysphonia. In this study, we investigated multidimensional perceptual, aerodynamic, and acoustic voice changes in patients with clinically diagnosed LPR compared to healthy participants. We prospectively

Objective:Patients with laryngopharyngeal reflux frequently experience voice-related symptoms. This was a prospective study that designed to investigate the effectiveness of combined voice and medical therapy in comparison with medical therapy alone in the improvement of voice-related

OBJECTIVE To study the usefulness of voice quality as therapeutic outcome in laryngopharyngeal reflux disease. METHODS A total of 80 patients with reflux finding score (RFS) > 7 and reflux symptom index (RSI) > 13 were treated with pantoprazole, diet, and lifestyle recommendations for 3 months. The

OBJECTIVE Patients with laryngopharyngeal reflux frequently experience voice-related symptoms. This study was designed to investigate the effectiveness of combined voice and medical therapy in comparison with medical therapy alone in the improvement of voice-related symptoms and parameters in

BACKGROUND Laryngopharyngeal reflux is a prevalent, not well-understood disease affecting a high proportion of patients who seek laryngology consultation. The objective of this prospective case series is to explore the subjective and objective voice modifications in Laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR),

OBJECTIVE To identify the instruments for evaluating the clinical findings (ICFs) of laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) designed for use with regard to diagnosis and treatment effectiveness. METHODS The PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane databases were used to search for subject headings following Preferred

OBJECTIVE To investigate the usefulness of voice quality assessment as a treatment outcome in responder and nonresponder patients with laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR). METHODS Eighty clinically diagnosed LPR patients with reflux finding score (RFS) > 7 and reflux symptom index (RSI) > 13 were treated

OBJECTIVE To investigate the voice quality impairments in patients with laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) according to the gender. METHODS Controlled multi-center study. METHODS 80 LPR patients (40 males and 40 females) with reflux finding score (RFS) > 7 and reflux symptom index (RSI) > 13 were

OBJECTIVE To assess the usefulness of voice quality measurements as a treatment outcome in patients with laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR)-related symptoms. METHODS Prospective uncontrolled multi-centre study. METHODS A total of 80 clinically diagnosed LPR patients with a reflux finding score (RFS)>7

OBJECTIVE Laryngomicrosurgery (LMS) is used to manage most vocal fold lesions. However, the functional voice outcome of the LMS might be diverse due to the influence of various factors. We intend to evaluate the incidence and etiologic factors of persistent dysphonia after LMS for benign vocal fold

X-linked spinobulbar muscular atrophy (Kennedy's disease) affects muscles and motor neurons, manifesting as weakness and wasting of bulbar, facial, and proximal limb muscles due to loss of anterior horn cells in the brain and spinal cord. We present the case of a patient with X-linked spinobulbar

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the consequences of lifetime, severe and untreated isolated growth hormone deficiency (IGHD) on vocal and laryngeal function. METHODS Cross-sectional. METHODS A total of 23 IGHD adult subjects and 22 controls were administered a questionnaire about vocal complaints and harmful

OBJECTIVE To study the differences in perceptual ratings of mild and moderate dysphonia related to the speech task, and their impact on intrarater and interrater reliabilities. METHODS Voice recordings of 15 outpatients with mild or moderate dysphonia related to laryngopharyngeal reflux were
