background: tuberculosis of the larynx is a rare form of tuberculosis. patients usually present with hoarseness or dysphagia and other nonspecific constitutional symptoms like fever or localized pain. in this study, we present a case of primary vocal cord lesion with tuberculosis. case presentation: a 72 year old man presented with hoarseness of voice, low grade fever, and night sweating with i...

introduction: unilateral vocal cord paralysis (uvcp) is not an uncommon finding. several procedures are available to manage glottal insufficiency. we conducted a clinical trial to evaluate the outcome of fat injection laryngoplasty.   materials and methods: liposuctioned lower abdomen fat was injected for augmentation of paralyzed vocal cord in 20 patients with uvcp. autologous fat was harveste...

Behavior in social groups follows unwritten codes, with the social group one is embedded in defining what behavior is acceptable and what is not. Prior research has found strong tendencies toward informational isomorphism in groups in online social networks, as social peers seem to establish a shared understanding of what behavior is acceptable and what informational content is okay to share. H...

Cancer chemotherapy: its effect and impact Most cancer patients, especially those with advanced disease, receive treatment with a cocktail of cytotoxic drugs, many of which are associated with severe side effects, both in the short and longer term. These lead to dose reductions and delays in treatment and can even mean that treatment has to be stopped early, limiting the use of otherwise very e...

introduction: actinomycosis is a systemic chronic bacterial infection caused by actinomyces israelii, an anaerobic organism normally resident in the human mouth. however, the actinomycosis of the larynx is very rare, and only about 15 cases have been reported in the literature so far. most of the cases reported occurred in patients who had previously undergone radiotherapy for laryngeal cancer....

ABSTRACT Dynamic vocal analysis (DVA) is an auditory-perceptual and acoustic assessment strategy that provides estimates on the biomechanics aerodynamics of production by performing frequency intensity variation tasks using voice spectrography. The objective this experience report to demonstrate use DVA in functionality dysphonic non-dysphonic individuals, with a special focus laryngeal muscula...

In this paper,~some results on finite dimensional generating spaces of quasi-norm family are established.~The idea of equivalent quasi-norm families is introduced.~Riesz lemma is established in this space.~Finally,~we re-define B-S fuzzy norm and prove that it induces a generating space of quasi-norm family.
