A model for 532-nanometer pulsed potassium titanyl phosphate (KTP) laser-induced injury in the rat larynx.

29 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS: The potassium titanyl phosphate (KTP) laser is emerging as a potentially effective treatment for various vocal fold pathologies. To date, the precise mechanism(s) of action of this wavelength on the layered microarchitecture ... Read more...

NTCP modeling of subacute/late laryngeal edema scored by fiberoptic examination.

7 Sep 2009 PURPOSE: Finding best-fit parameters of normal tissue complication probability (NTCP) models for laryngeal edema after radiotherapy for head and neck cancer. METHODS AND MATERIALS: Forty-eight patients were considered for this study who met the ... Read more...

Clinical and electrophysiological characteristics of larynx in myasthenia gravis.

30 Aug 2009 OBJECTIVES: We investigated the clinical and electrophysiological characteristics of the larynx in patients with myasthenia gravis (MG). METHODS: Thirty-two cases of MG were analyzed. The laryngeal behaviors and characteristics of laryngeal ... Read more...
