Larynx01:21

Larynx

3.9K
The human larynx, often referred to as the voice box, is an intricate organ located in the neck. It serves as a pathway for air to enter the lungs during respiration and is an essential component of voice production.
Anatomy of the Larynx
The larynx consists of various components, including cartilage, muscles, and vocal cords. Its structure includes three large unpaired cartilages—the thyroid, cricoid, and epiglottis—and three smaller paired cartilages—the arytenoids,...

Anatomy of Respiratory System I: Upper Respiratory Tract

4.5K
The upper respiratory tract plays a vital role in the respiratory system, comprising several structures that facilitate air intake and prepare air for the lungs. It also serves as the first line of defense against pathogens and particles. This tract includes the nose and nasal cavity, the oral cavity, the paranasal sinuses, and the pharynx, each with specific functions and features.
Nose and nasal cavity
The nose and nasal cavity represent the main external openings of the respiratory tract....

Physical Assessment of the Respiratory Tract IV: Auscultation01:28

Physical Assessment of the Respiratory Tract IV: Auscultation

1.9K
Auscultation is a crucial component of the physical assessment of the respiratory tract. It offers valuable insights into airflow through the bronchial tree and potential lung obstructions. This process involves careful listening to breath, voice, and adventitious sounds, which can reveal a wealth of information about a patient's respiratory health.
Breath Sounds
Breath sounds are categorized into vesicular, bronchovesicular, and bronchial.

Epistaxis01:30

Epistaxis

471
Epistaxis, or nosebleeds, occurs when small, swollen blood vessels in the nasal mucous membrane rupture. Typically, the anterior septum is the primary site of occurrence.
Etiology
Possible causes of this condition include high blood pressure, trauma, low humidity, upper respiratory tract infections, allergies, foreign bodies, nasal inhalation of corticosteroids or illicit drugs, excessive use of decongestant nasal sprays, facial or nasal surgery, anatomic malformation, tumors, or systemic...

Respiratory System Abnormal Finding II: Palpation and Auscultation

1.3K
In assessing respiratory abnormalities, palpation and auscultation are critical tools for detecting and interpreting various pathophysiological changes. These techniques provide insight into underlying disorders by evaluating tactile sensations and sounds produced by the respiratory system.
Palpation Findings
During a respiratory assessment, palpation can reveal several vital abnormalities:

Nose and Nasal Cavity01:24

Nose and Nasal Cavity

9.6K
The nose is composed of an observable exterior segment (external nose) and an internal segment within the skull known as the nasal cavity (internal nose). The external nose, visible on the face, consists of a framework of bone and hyaline cartilage enveloped in skin and muscle and lined with a mucous membrane. This structure is supported by the frontal bone, nasal bones, and maxillary bone and is supplemented by a cartilaginous framework comprising the septal nasal cartilage, lateral nasal...

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Vocal Performance Science

Background:

  • Rhinoplasty is a common surgical procedure.
  • Opera singers rely heavily on optimal vocal function and quality of life.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the impact of cosmetic and functional rhinoplasty on opera singers.
  • To evaluate changes in quality of life and voice performance post-surgery.

Main Methods:

  • 18 opera singers underwent rhinoplasty (cosmetic or functional).
  • Objective voice parameters (fundamental frequency, jitter, shimmer, maximal phonation time) and subjective Voice Handicap Index-10 were measured.
  • Patients were assessed pre- and 6-months post-surgery.

Main Results:

  • No significant variation in fundamental frequency was observed.
  • Slight improvements in jitter, shimmer, and maximal phonation time.
  • Voice Handicap Index-10 scores decreased, indicating improved voice-related quality of life.

Conclusions:

  • Rhinoplasty had a long-term positive influence on opera singers.
  • Over 88% of singers reported beneficial effects on vocal emission and function.
  • The overall perception of rhinoplasty was positive both aesthetically and vocally.
