1. Aerodynamic assessment of velopharyngeal function in speech
Sammanfattning : Velopharyngeal function in speech was assessed by aerodynamic techniques, which were developed and tested. Temporal and dynamic characteristics of the nasal airflow pattern during the velopharyngeal closing phase in speech were studied in different patient groups. Its validity in relation to listener's perceptual evaluation of speech was analyzed. LÄS MER
2. Diagnosis and recovery patterns in patients with apraxia of speech after stroke
Sammanfattning : Background: Stroke is a leading cause of adult disability. One of its most common consequences is a communication disorder. Beside aphasia (a language disorder), a motor speech disorder may occur, manifested as dysarthria or apraxia of speech (AOS). LÄS MER
3. Distribution and Effects of NO and CO in the Human Upper Respiratory Tract
Sammanfattning : Mucosal inflammation and airway hyperreactivity are regulated by hundreds of different mediators. The recent discovery of gaseous mediators, produced and active within the airways, opens new possibilities for identification of therapeutic targets and ways to monitor airway inflammation. LÄS MER
4. Noise exposure, hearing protection and hearing loss. A long-term study at an automobile sheet-metal pressing plant
Sammanfattning : The design and implementation of a hearing conservation programme in a heavy industry with high noise levels is described. Action was taken on several points, including noise measurements, noise reduction, education on hearing protector use, and audiometric monitoring. LÄS MER
5. Breathing and phonation : effects of lung volume and breathing behaviour on voice function
Sammanfattning : Respiration is believed to play a central role in voice function and is thus of relevance to the clinical care of the disordered voice. The overall aim of the present study was to experimentally investigate relationships between the respiratory and phonatory systems. LÄS MER
