In 1917, Albert Einstein recognized the existence of stimulated emissions [21]. The first description of stimulated optical emission of monochromatic light using ruby as the active material—the ruby laser—was provided by Theodore Maiman in 1960 [45]. The more powerful neodymium-inglass laser was discovered a year later. It was hoped that lasers would be useful in medicine for the excision of tu...

BACKGROUND Vocal polyps are the products of voice overuse, misuse and abuse as the most common causative factors. Treatment generally advised for them are voice therapy and Microlaryngeal Phonosurgery (MLPS). The improved or changed quality of voice is generally assessed perceptually and can cause intra rater variability. In this study we compared and analysed the acoustic characteristics befor...
