1. 1. Evaluation of nasal speech : a study of assessments by speech-language pathologists, untrained listeners and nasometry

   Författare :Karin Brunnegård; Jan van Doorn; Anette Lohmander; Fiona Gibbon; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; hypernasality; auditory perceptual evaluation; reliability; nasometer; nasalance; Logopedics and phoniatrics; Logopedi och foniatrik;

   Sammanfattning : Excessive nasal resonance in speech (hypernasality) is a disorder which may have negative communicative and social consequences for the speaker. Excessive nasal resonance is often associated with cleft lip and palate, velopharyngeal impairment, dysarthria or hearing impairment. LÄS MER

3. 2. Unilateral Cleft Lip and Palate : Speech, Voice and Nasal Function in Adults

   Författare :Staffan Morén; Maria Mani; Mats Holmström; Per-åke Lindestad; Göran Laurell; Magnus Becker; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Adult; Cleft Lip; Cleft Palate; Cross-Sectional Studies; Control Groups; Dysphonia; Follow-Up Studies; Humans; Nasal Obstruction; Nose Deformities; Otolaryngology; Quality of Life; Reconstructive Surgical Procedures methods; Retrospective Studies; Treatment Outcome; Voice Quality; Acoustic; Oto-Rhino-Laryngology; Oto-rhino-laryngologi;

   Sammanfattning : Cleft lip and palate (CLP) is the most common craniofacial malformation. Even after repair of the cleft there may be persistent symptoms affecting speech, voice, nasal breathing, dentition, appearance and quality of life. LÄS MER

4. 3. Renewable diesel fuels and emission control strategies : Implications for occupational exposure, human health, and the environment

   Författare :Louise Gren; NanoLund: Centre for Nanoscience; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; aerosol technology;

   Sammanfattning : Combustion of fossil diesel is a major environmental problem for both the climate and human health. Renewable diesel fuels have been developed and introduced to the market to reduce the net CO2 emissions. LÄS MER

5. 4. Ventilation of the Paranasal Sinuses. A study using the 133-Xenon Washout Technique

   Författare :Bo Paulsson; Lund Institutionen för kliniska vetenskaper; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; auditive system and speech; single photon emission computed tomography; paranasal sinuses; ventilation; 133-xenon; chronic sinusitis; nose-sinus model; endoscopic sinus surgery; oxymetazoline; Otorhinolaryngology; Otorinolaryngologi; audiologi; hörsel- och talorganen; audiology;

   Sammanfattning : A noninvasive 133-xenon washout technique was used to evaluate the ventilation of the paranasal sinuses in healthy subjects and in patients with sinus disease. A mixture of air and 133-xenon is insufflated into the nasal cavities and passage into the sinuses is facilitated by a pressure increase created by letting the subjects inflate a balloon. LÄS MER

7. 5. Speech and velopharyngeal function in patients with hypernasality : an investigation utilizing listener judgments, instrumental analysis (NORAM), multiview videoradiography and nasopharyngoscopy

   Författare :Jonas Karling; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :cleft lip andor cleft palate; cleft palate speech; hypernasality; instrumental analysis; lateral pharyngeal wall movements; listener judgment; mouth breathing; nasal emission; nasopharyngoscopy; oronasal fistula; pharyngeal flap; presurgical orthoped;

   Sammanfattning : This investigation evaluated how velopharyngeal function and speech deficiencies related to velo pharyngeal insufficiency (VPI) were influenced by a) type of cleft, b) site and size of oronasal fistulas and c) pharyngeal flaps. In addition, the accelerometric device, NORAM was evaluated. LÄS MER
