  2. 1. Computer methods for voice analysis

    Author : Svante Granqvist; KTH; []
    Keywords : voice analysis; perceptual analysis; fundamental frequency; correlogram; aperiodicity; Fourier analysis; high-speed imaging; laryngoscopy; vocal fold vibration; voice accumulation.; TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIKVETENSKAP;

    Abstract : This thesis consists of five articles and a summary. Thethesis deals with methods for measuring properties of thevoice. The methods are all computer-based, but utilisedifferent approaches for measuring different aspects of thevoice. Paper I introduces the Visual Sort and Rate (VSR) method forperceptual rating of voice quality. READ MORE

    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; asthma; exercise-induced laryngeal obstruction; EILO; continuous laryngoscopy during exercise test; CLE; prevalence; risk factors; incidence; athletes; skiers; endurance athletes; Sports Medicine; idrottsmedicin; lungmedicin; Lung Medicine; Oto-Rhino-Laryngology; oto-rhino-laryngologi;

    Abstract : Background: Asthma is highly prevalent in endurance athletes, but we lack up-to-date information on the prevalence and incidence of asthma in cross-country skiers. Exercise-induced laryngeal obstruction (EILO) is an important differential diagnosis to exercise-induced asthma, and its symptoms can mimic asthma. READ MORE

  6. 4. Deposition and clearance of inhaled particles in patients with obstructive airway diseases

    Author : Katharina Svartengren; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : bronchial asthma; chronic bronchitis; immotile-cilia syndrome; tracheobronchial clearance; mucus; cough; particle deposition; laryngoscopy; lung function;

    Abstract : A large part of the population (at least 10%) suffers from asthma or chronic bronchitis. Knowledge of deposition and clearance of inhaled particles in the respiratory tract in this group of patients is essential for estimating environmental health hazards, as well as optimal effects of therapeutic aerosols.

  7. 5. Exercise-induced laryngeal obstruction : Prevalence, laryngeal findings and evaluation of treatment

    Author : Katarina Norlander; Leif Nordang; Malin Svensson; Riitta Möller; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Exercise; laryngeal obstruction; bronchoconstriction; CLE-score; EILOMEA;

    Abstract : Exercise-induced laryngeal obstruction (EILO) is one of many different causes for adolescents to experience dyspnoea during exercise. Objective exercise-testing with continuous video laryngoscopy is crucial for a correct diagnosis since it is difficult to differentiate EILO from other exercise related conditions in the airways only on the symptomatology.
