Chronic Pharyngitis

1.3K
Chronic pharyngitis refers to persistent inflammation of the pharyngial mucosa.
Etiology
It often arises from persistent viral or bacterial infections affecting sinuses and tonsils.
Additional contributing factors include inadequate dental hygiene, mouth breathing, recurring tonsillitis, allergic rhinitis, laryngopharyngeal reflux, and exposure to smoke, chemicals, and other environmental pollutants. Allergic reactions to pollen, mold, and pet dander, chronic cough, excessive voice usage,...

Asthma-I: Introduction

2.6K
Asthma is a chronic respiratory ailment that requires careful management due to its varying symptoms and influencing factors. It is characterized by airway inflammation, bronchial hyperresponsiveness, and reversible airflow obstruction, leading to symptoms like wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and coughing. The symptom frequency and intensity may vary considerably over time. It is also linked to immune system responses to allergens and irritants, highlighting the complex...

Drugs Used in Upper Respiratory Disorders: Overview

177
Upper respiratory tract disorders, including viral infections and allergic rhinitis, cause significant discomfort and disrupt daily life. Managing these conditions involves a variety of drugs, such as antihistamines, intranasal steroids, decongestants, antitussives, expectorants, and mucolytics. Specific examples of drugs in each category are provided.
Antihistamines (e.g., Benadryl) block histamines from binding. Histamines are chemicals released during an allergic reaction in the body. As a...

Common Respiratory Disorders

315
Respiratory disorders, a prevalent health concern globally, are generally divided into two primary categories: upper and lower respiratory tract disorders. The categorization is based on the area of the respiratory system they affect.
Upper respiratory disorders impact the airways above the vocal cords, encompassing areas like the nose, sinuses, and throat. Various conditions fall under this category, including the common cold and allergic rhinitis. These disorders can stem from several causes,...

Drugs Used in Lower Respiratory Disorders: Overview

353
Lower respiratory tract disorders present challenges that often require skilled and nuanced approaches for effective management. Common ailments, such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), have prompted the development of intricate treatment strategies involving bronchodilators and anti-inflammatory drugs, each tailored to ease breathing and revitalize the lungs.
Bronchodilators, the first step of respiration enhancement, come in various forms, each with its own mechanism...

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Vocal Science
  • Allergy Immunology

Background:

  • Allergic rhinitis can cause dysphonia and resonance changes in professional singers.
  • Vocal strain and performance cancellations are risks associated with laryngeal inflammation episodes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare voice quality, objective voice parameters, and professional activity limitations in allergic versus nonallergic professional singers.
  • To analyze the impact of allergic rhinitis on the professional lives of singers.

Main Methods:

  • 30 professional singers with allergic rhinitis (study group) and 30 without (control group) were recruited.
  • Comprehensive rhinological (nasal endoscopy, rhinomanometry, SNOT-22) and phoniatric (laryngostroboscopy, VHI, SVHI, DSI) evaluations were performed.
  • Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS 25.0.

Main Results:

  • Dust mite allergy was a primary trigger, often with seasonal allergens.
  • Allergic singers reported significantly higher SNOT-22, VHI, and SVHI scores.
  • The allergic group had a significantly lower Dysphonia Severity Index (DSI) and increased risk of performance postponement, singing with inflammation, and pitch changes.

Conclusions:

  • Allergic singers face significant professional limitations due to their condition.
  • Proactive management of allergic rhinitis is vital for singers to prevent vocal strain and maintain careers.
