Summary
Rhinoplasty surgery can alter vocal patterns, affecting both objective sound measurements and subjective voice perception. Surgeons should discuss these potential voice changes with patients, as they may impact professional life.
Area of Science:
- Otolaryngology
- Acoustic analysis
- Voice science
Background:
- Rhinoplasty is a common cosmetic surgery with limited research on its vocal effects.
- Nasal cavity and pyramid anatomy significantly influence voice production.
- This study investigates vocal changes following rhinoplasty.
Purpose of the Study:
- To analyze potential vocal alterations after rhinoplasty.
- To compare objective and subjective voice assessments pre- and post-surgery.
- To evaluate differences between closed and open rhinoplasty approaches regarding voice changes.
Main Methods:
- 51 patients undergoing rhinoplasty were evaluated over 2 years.
- Objective vocal analysis included frequency and intensity of vowel and consonant sounds.
- Subjective voice quality was assessed using a modified Voice Handicap Index Score.
Main Results:
- Objective analysis revealed increased frequency in consonant sounds (62%) and vowel sounds (68%).
- Subjective evaluation showed significant voice perception changes post-surgery (P = .044).
- No significant vocal differences were observed between closed and open rhinoplasty techniques.
Conclusions:
- Reduction rhinoplasty techniques can induce alterations in vocal patterns.
- Patients should be informed about potential voice modifications and their impact on work.
- Further research may explore long-term vocal effects and specific surgical techniques.

01:05Long-term Depression
33.2K
Long-term depression, or LTD, is one of the ways by which synaptic plasticity—changes in the strength of chemical synapses—can occur in the brain. LTD is the process of synaptic weakening that occurs over time between pre and postsynaptic neuronal connections. The synaptic weakening of LTD works in opposition to synaptic strengthening by long-term potentiation (LTP) and together are the main mechanisms that underlie learning and memory.

5.3K
Reporting and recording are crucial in data documentation. The timely, thorough, and accurate documentation of facts is essential when recording patient data. Failure to record findings during an assessment or interpretation of a problem will result in loss of information and make the patient document unreliable. The reader is left with general impressions if the information is not specific. A recording is documenting data of the individual's health information in a traceable, secure, and...

Information is everywhere and its presentation—such as how and when items are presented—can impact our perceptions and decisions surrounding the info. This broad concept umbrellas framing effects—influences that occur due to the way information is framed in its appearance, whether it’s purely the order or the specific wording of a message. Let’s take a look at numerous ways in which two versions of something can objectively say the same thing, yet we respond in...

02:59Biological Effects of Radiation
17.7K
All radioactive nuclides emit high-energy particles or electromagnetic waves. When this radiation encounters living cells, it can cause heating, break chemical bonds, or ionize molecules. The most serious biological damage results when these radioactive emissions fragment or ionize molecules. For example, α and β particles emitted from nuclear decay reactions possess much higher energies than ordinary chemical bond energies. When these particles strike and penetrate matter, they...
