AbstractObjectiveWe report our experience in developing a paediatric voice clinic within a tertiary otolaryngology department and describe the emerging role of this specialized clinic.MaterialsCurrently our referral base is divided between other otolaryngologists within our department who require voice assessment as part of the pre- or post-operative management of laryngeal disorders (e.g. cysts, webs, vocal fold palsies, laryngo-tracheal reconstruction) and other professionals within our hospital who require characterisation of voice within the broader task of defining medical conditions in which voice abnormalities exist (e.g. mucopolysaccharidoses, functional dysphonias).MethodsThe patients were assessed by a team consisting of a paediatric laryngologist and a speech and language therapist. Each patient underwent a perceptual voice assessment and qualitative voice assessment using electrolaryngography. Direct visualisation was attempted and methods of and suitability for, such examination are discussed.ResultsOur experience is reviewed and guidelines for the establishment of a paediatric voice clinic are presented.

Unilateral Vocal Fold Paralysis

AbstractStroboscopy is well established as an essential diagnostic tool in the assessment of the vocal folds during phonation. This paper analyses the stroboscopic findings in 100 patients with a unilateral vocal fold paralysis. Reliable stroboscopic signals were only obtained in patients with the paralysed fold close to the midline. These patients seldom require surgery however, usually responding to speech therapy with laryngeal compensation giving a good voice. Most patients that require surgery have a large glottal deficiency, but in this series these patients did not give an adequate signal for analysis. Although useful in the assessment of the muscle tone of the paralysed fold, the influence of stroboscopy on the surgical treatment in this series was limited.

Otolaryngology (also known as ear, nose, and throat (ENT)) diseases can be significantly affected by the level of sex hormones, which indicates that sex differences affect the manifestation, pathophysiology, and outcomes of these diseases. Recently, increasing evidence has suggested that proinflammatory responses in ENT diseases are linked to the level of sex hormones. The sex hormone receptors are present on a wide variety of immune cells; therefore, it is evident that they play crucial roles in regulating the immune system and hence affect the disease progression of ENT diseases. In this review, we focus on how sex hormones, particularly estrogens, regulate ENT diseases, such as chronic rhinosinusitis, vocal fold polyps, thyroid cancer, Sjögren’s syndrome, and head and neck cancers, from the perspectives of inflammatory responses and specialized proresolving mediator-driven resolution. This paper aims to clarify why considering sex differences in the field of basic and medical research on otolaryngology is a key component to successful therapy for both males and females in the future.
