  • ISBN : 3709136911
  • Pages : 281 pages

Download or read book Dynamics of the Singing Voice written by Meribeth A. Dayme and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-04-17 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every discipline tends to develop its own particular language and ways of communicating. This is true also about the various disciplines that talk about and describe the human voice - particularly as it relates to singing. The aim of this book is to bridge any gaps in communication, foster better understanding of the singing voice and encourage collaboration between those involved in performance, teaching, therapy and medicine. Because there is increasing interest in research in all these disciplines, creating a "common ground" for communication about the singing voice is essential for mutual understanding and for effective prevention and treatment of disorders in singers. One object for the artistic and scientific professions is to understand each other better by finding a vocabulary and terminology which they can share and use effectively. Difficulty in communication often arises when a singer or teacher of singing attempts to describe something sensory in nature by use of imagery and sign-language to non-singers, including the health and medical profes sions; and, in the same way, the use of obscure and sometimes frightening terminology by those in the medical sciences when offering explanations to singers. Teaching and simple language was and is needed from both sides. A number of advances are helping to create rapid change in bridging gaps in communication and in adding new information: 1. The formation of Associations for Performing Arts Medicine on a na tional and international scale are bringing new awareness to those who work with singers and other artists.

Download or read book Vocal Fold Scar written by Jaime Eaglin Moore and published by . This book was released on 2016-05-13 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vocal fold scar remains one of the most demanding and, in some ways, frustrating challenges of laryngology and voice therapy. Treatments for this complex condition are inconsistent and often produce suboptimal results. Yet, while hopes for full recovery remain slim, surgical methods and improving technologies, along with improved therapy techniques, have combined to yield better and better outcomes; and further advances are on the horizon. In this new book, Moore, Sataloff, and Hawshaw have collaborated with world leaders in laryngology and speech-language pathology to compile the latest information on the pathophysiology of vocal fold scar, treatments, procedures and, importantly, look at the promising directions in research. The authors introduce the various causes and sequelae of scar, examine anatomy and pathophysiology, and take the reader through diagnostic procedures. Thereafter, they review preoperative therapy options and providing practical guidance on surgical methods including medialization, techniques for freeing the epithelium, management of sulcus, grafting, and the use of lasers. The book discusses tissue engineering and newer treatment options, including epidermal growth factor (EGF) and transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF- 1). The book summarizes the state of the art in diagnosis and treatment of vocal fold scar and should be valuable for any clinician who cares for the patient with this vexing problem."
