This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains a series of articles and summaries regarding surgical voice restoration after or during a total laryngectomy. Most readers will recall the pleasure patients feel when they are able to speak again after years of mute existence. A few simple questions are relevant to the articles contained herein. Firstly, how important is a person's voice? Is it for example as important to man as the dances bees use to convey essential information? Even the most superficial consideration must tell us that the function of the human voice is still more important as we already have a detailed body language of our own, e.g., when we feel pain,joy, love, fear, etc. Without doubt, speech is the basis of knowledge and surely it is the capacity to learn which characterizes the human intellect. Secondly, one may ask whether man was always intended to have a voice? A few every-day observations can provide us with an answer. When little children play together, for instance, they all speak at once and seldom listen to what their neighbors are saying. Obviously, this is b~cause it is not so important what they are actually saying as that something is being said at all.

This book was released on 2009-04 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Post-laryngectomy rehabilitation has generated tremendous interest in recent times owing to the development of innovative prosthetic devices and other appliances aimed at making life more comfortable for the laryngectomee. This book addresses not only the very essential function of voice rehabilitation, but also other equally important aspects such as pulmonary, olfactory and psycho-social rehabilitation as well as quality-of-life issues after laryngectomy. With more and more ENT, head and neck surgeons performing laryngectomies on a regular basis, this book aims to provide both the trainees and practicing surgeons a comprehensive and practical guide to the total rehabilitation of these patients.

The material is organized sequentially so the clinician can work step-by-step through the rehabilitation process. Clinical procedures covered in the handbook include preoperative consultation, intake interview and evaluation, oral examination, the communication technique selection process, goal setting and lesson planning, report writing and record keeping, relaxation techniques, problem-solving strategies and progress, and post-therapy assessment. * -User-friendly format presenting both pre- and post-laryngectomy treatments * - Extensive practice activities throughout * - Ready-to-use forms bound into the book

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Explores clinical issues of the 20-year-old tracheoesophageal puncture technique which allows for esophageal speech with pulmonic air. After a brief overview of the history of the technique, topics discussed include preoperative assessment methods, patient selection considerations, surgical techniques of primary and secondary puncture, surgical approaches to laryngopharyngectomy, surgical complications, postoperative therapeutic issues, the preservation of tracheoesophogeal prostheses, and the use of botulinum neurotoxin to nonsurgically optimize the pharynx muscles for alaryngeal phonation.

Download or read book How to Make an Artificial Larynx by Modifying Electro larynx Vocal Box written by Ashini Naileshkumar Rami and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During verbal communication, the larynx causes vibration due to its flexibility in the -- respiratory tract. Electrolarynxes or artificial larynxes are commonly used to restore speech -- after laryngectomy. An objective and subjective analysis of vowel quality is presented in this -- paper based on the design of a low-powered electrolarynx that uses a modified glottal source. -- A design is presented in the first part of the paper that can drive a variety of input signals. An -- effect of neck surface is pre-filtered to design a driving source in the second part. A comparison -- of power consumption between the prototype and a conventional electrolarynx is carried out. -- We compare the vowel qualities of the volunteers' vowels with those of normal vowels. -- According to our findings, the glottal modified wave helps reduce the amount of power -- required by the electrolarynx. Using the present approach, we measure the loudness, quality -- factor, and position of the formants as a measure of quality and find that they are better (or -- comparable) than traditional electrolarynxes. Electrolarynx with modified glottal waves are -- more power-efficient than existing methods and have the potential to be incorporated into a -- wearable device. As well as providing better vowel quality than conventional driving signals, -- it also produces fewer noises.

Invited and contributed papers present the state-of-the-art research in information, control and automation. This workshop always welcomes a fruitful mix of experienced researchers and students, to allow a better understanding of related fields. The 2022 session of the information, control and automation was doubtlessly a great success. The program covered a wide variety of topics, namely Numerical Analysis, Information Theory, Genetic Algorithm, Distributed Control System, Industrial Control, Motors and Appliances, etc. The conference agenda was divided into two parts, including Keynote Speeches and Oral Presentations. ICICA 2022 is to bring together innovative academics and industrial experts in the field of Information, Control and Automation to a common forum. The primary goal of the conference is to promote research and developmental activities in Information, Control and Automation and another goal is to promote scientific information interchange between researchers, developers, engineers, students, and practitioners working all around the world. The conference will be held every year to make it an ideal platform for people to share views and experiences in Information, Control and Automation and related areas. Everyone interested in these fields were welcomed to join the online conference and to give comments and raise questions to the speeches and presentations.
