GALP Qualifier Scale: Initial Considerations to Classify a Voice Problem

The purpose of this article is to show how one urban school district dealt with a perceived need to improve its effectiveness in diagnosing and treating voice disorders. The local school district established semiannual voice clinics. Students aged 5-18 were referred, screened, and selected for the clinics if they appeared to have a chronic voice problem. The specific procedures used in setting up the voice clinics and the subsequent changes made over a 10-year period are presented.

Voice Problem

Abstract Background Dysphagia is the swallowing difficulties and trouble to move liquids, solids, medications and may be saliva from the mouth down to the stomach and is considered a serious red flag or alarm symptom. Aim of the Work to examine the prevalence of dysphagia on basis of subjective and objective measures in patients with the presenting symptom of dysphonia and diagnosed with non-neoplastic vocal fold lesions to consider the potential benefit of swallowing therapy hand in hand with the chosen management line of voice problem in the treatment of these patients if proved to have high prevalence of dysphagia. Subjects and Methods This study was applied on 50 patients with age ranging from 15-50 years diagnosed as being dysphonic secondary to non-neoplastic vocal fold lesions on objective and clinical measures, attending at the Phoniatric outpatient clinic at El-Demerdash hospital and Ain Shams University Specialized hospital. Results After the application of the A-EAT-10 questionnaire on 50 dysphonic patients who were selected to participate in this study, 12 cases (about 24%) were considered dysphagic with score above 3 and underwent VFSS. Within these 12 patients, Zero percent were found complaining of dysphagia according to VFSS. So there is No Correlation between frequencies of dysphagia by A-EAT-10 and by VFSS. Conclusion The present study showed that non-neoplastic vocal fold lesions are not an etiological factor for dysphagia despite the intricacy in the neuromuscular supply of pharynx and larynx. Diagnosis of Dysphagia can’t be confirmed depending only on subjective screening tools like A-EAT-10.

Voice Problem

Abstract Background Chronic kidney failure is an irreversible medical condition that impairs the kidney’s ability to function. When CRF reaches a sophisticated stage, dangerous levels of fluid, electrolytes, and wastes can accumulate within the body. Dysphonia detected within the CRF patients was due to affection of the chronic kidney failure on the system and phonatory system. Patients with CRF treated by hemodialysis are exposed to continuous pulmonary insults of multifactorial origin: Fluid retention predisposes them to pulmonary edema which occurs more frequently within the presence of concomitant cardiovascular disease. Also, the spirit of the kidney failure patients can induce psychogenic dysphonia. The aim of this work is to see and analyzed voice problems in patients with chronic kidney failure to ascertain baseline data about the scale and distribution of the probable voice disorder in these patients for early detection and proper management. Results The results obtained from this study showed that there have been statistically significant differences between chronic kidney failure patients G1 and control G2 regarding first harmonic, jitter %, shimmer dB and noise harmonic ratio dB, presence of dysphonia, and also the total score of VHI. The results of the study revealed statistical correlation between the quantity of years of hemodialysis and total acoustic measures. Conclusion The results of our study revealed that subjects with chronic failure exhibit a clinical evidence of voice disorders and proving that there is interplay of different body systems and the larynx. The voice problems can vary between CRF patients depending on duration of hemodialysis and leading causes of chronic kidney failure.
