Publication date: Available online 1 November 2019Source: Speech CommunicationAuthor(s): Andreas Weise, Sarah Ita Levitan, Julia Hirschberg, Rivka LevitanAbstractThe tendency of conversation partners to adjust to each other to become similar, known as entrainment, has been studied for many years. Several studies have linked differences in this behavior to gender, but with inconsistent results. We analyze individual differences in two forms of local, acoustic-prosodic entrainment in two large corpora...

Publication date: November 2019Source: Journal of Phonetics, Volume 77Author(s): Oksana Tkachman, Kathleen Currie Hall, Robert Fuhrman, Yurika AonukiAbstractWhile there has been some prior work on what characteristics can increase or decrease the phonetic prominence of a sign in a signed language, there is not yet an easily obtainable, objective measure that can be used to help quantify signal-based aspects of sign language prominence. This paper introduces a novel measure, visible amplitude, which...

CONCLUSIONS & IMPLICATIONS: Women who undergo total laryngectomy are likely to experience issues in returning to work, the performance of informal care-work, the spousal relationship, intimacy and social interaction due to stigmatization. Medical pretreatment counselling and multidisciplinary rehabilitation programmes should help patients form realistic expectations and prepare them for the changes they will face. A gender- and age-matched laryngectomized patient visitor can contribute to this...

Conclusion.: Our. Results.: provide insight on the expansion of audiological spectrum encompassing more than severe SNHL in Korean subjects harboring USH2A variants, suggesting that USH2A should also be included in the candidate gene of cochlear implantation. A specific combination of USH2A variants causing truncating proteins in both alleles could demonstrate more severe audiological phenotype than that of USH2A variants carrying one truncating mutation and one missense mutation, suggesting...

CONCLUSION: Our results showed that the nurse's subjective assessment of the patient's inability to be treated by self-care PD and the patient's disabilities were strongly associated with the utilization of nurse- and family assisted PD.

CONCLUSION: In properly selected adults who need an urgent, secure airway in the operating theatre, surgeon-performed anterior commissure laryngoscopic intubation using a bougie should be considered a safe, reliable procedure. In most cases, this procedure can be performed in selected patients whilst awake, with sedation. PMID: 31668153 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher] (Source: Journal of Laryngology and Otology)

CONCLUSION: Chronic otitis media with tympanosclerosis is characterised by the long-term absence of suppurations.

CONCLUSION: Second primary lung cancer occurs at a rate of 1.6 per cent per year following a diagnosis of laryngeal cancer, and this is associated in a statistically significant manner with supraglottic primary tumour. The recent National Lung Cancer Screening Trial suggests a survival advantage of 20 per cent at five years with annual screening using low-dose computed tomography scanning of the chest in a comparable cohort to ours. These findings have the potential to inform post-treatment surveillance...

CONCLUSION: This approach is an effective means of teaching otolaryngology to undergraduates.

CONCLUSION: Transmastoid occlusion of the posterior or superior semicircular canal is effective and safe for treating troublesome benign paroxysmal positional vertigo or symptomatic superior semicircular canal dehiscence. Post-operative video head impulse testing demonstrating a reduction in vestibulo-ocular reflex gain can reliably confirm successful occlusion of the canal and is a useful adjunct in post-operative evaluation.

AbstractThe purpose of this study was to determine whether there is any correlation between dacryocystitis with deviated nasal septum and sinusitis. A retrospective study of 50 patients who were diagnosed with dacryocystitis were included in the study. The patients included were operated between July 2018 and February 2017. All patients were assessed and operated by a single surgeon. We found in the study that 38 patients had deviated nasal septum to the diseased side and were operated for better...

Photo credit Gus Moretta Our culture is steeped in language that makes accepting the terminal diagnosis of ourselves or a loved one more difficult to accept than it needs to be. Doctors say, “I’m sorry, there’s nothing more we can do. You might want to look into hospice care.” Patients tell their doctors that they want “aggressive treatment,” until there is nothing else that can be done, then they will go on hospice care. The crux of these conversations is that medicine will do everything possible...

by Lizzy Miles (@LizzyMiles_MSW)No one should ever be “put” in a nursing home. You might agree with this statement because you don’t like nursing homes, but that is not what I’m saying. The word “put” is offensive when you are describing a person, unless you are talking about putting a 3 year old in the time out corner because he colored on the walls.I would like to make the argument that no adult wants to be ‘put’ anywhere. You put dishes away, you do not put people away. When we are facing a situation...

Naked mole-rats live as much as nine times longer than similarly sized rodent species. A short summary of what is known of their biochemistry is that they exhibit many of the molecular signs of aging found in other mammals, such as oxidative damage, presence of senescent cells, and so forth, but few to none of the consequences found in other mammals. Naked mole rats stay fit and healthy and physiologically youthful right up until very late life. The near relative species of blind mole-rat has many...

Selected handheld instruments and flexible endoscopy appear to facilitate minimally invasive surgery of the larynx. This novel procedure and technique warrant further clinical study for consideration of feasibility, applicability, and patient benefit. PMID: 31672022 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]...

This is kind of buried in multiple threads, but this is a big deal. CMS just proposed a rule change for supervision level of hospital outpatient therapeutic services from direct to general. This doesn't sound like a big deal, but it is actually a HUGE deal. What this means functionally, is that a radiation oncologist will not need to be present to treat patients in hospital settings (i.e. the majority of jobs currently). This means a single Rad Onc can provide supervision for 2-3 hospitals......
