Сравнительный анализ голосовых характеристик показал отсутствие достоверного отличия между исследуемыми группами в отношении частотных характеристик, что позволяет нам сделать вывод о природной стабильности минимальной, максимальной и средней частоты голоса у людей.…”

Введение. В последние годы отмечается стойкая тенденция анализа функционального состояния лор-органов. При этом используются как субъективные, так и объективные методы исследования. Применение современных объективных методов исследования функционального состояния голосового аппарата, таких как акустический анализ голоса, дает возможность выявлять даже незначительные изменения в голосе человека. Несмотря на давнюю историю, современная технология акустического анализа голоса является сравнительно новой, но динамично развивающейся областью клинического исследования. Следует отметить, что данные об акустических параметрах голоса у пациентов с хронической патологией верхних дыхательных путей противоречивы и малочисленны. Под влиянием любой хронической патологии изменяется качество жизни человека, характеризующее физиологические, психологические, эмоциональные и социальные составляющие. Цель. Определить акустические параметры голоса у пациентов с хроническим синуситом. Материалы и методы. В исследовании приняло участие 55 человек в возрасте от 19 до 76 лет: 35 человек с хроническим неполипозным синуситом и 20 человек – медицинские работники, по результатам диспансерного наблюдения относящиеся к группе здоровых. Объективный анализ голоса проводился с помощью программного обеспечения «LingWaves» Phonetogramm 2.5. Результаты. В ходе анализа объективных характеристик голоса у здоровых лиц и пациентов с хроническим синуситом отмечено лишь достоверное различие во времени максимальной фонации (15,6 сек. и 13,3 сек.; р=0,033). Остальные параметры голосовой функции здоровых лиц и пациентов с патологией синусов не отличались между собой. Выводы. Частотные характеристики голосового аппарата людей являются стабильными и малоизменяемыми при патологии околоносовых пазух. Introduction. During last years, there has been a persistent trend of analyzing the functional state of ENT organs. At the same time, both subjective and objective research methods are used. The use of modern objective methods of studying the functional state of the vocal apparatus, such as acoustic analysis of the voice, makes it possible to detect even minor changes in a person’s voice. Despite its long history, the modern technology of acoustic voice analysis is a relatively new, but dynamically developing area of clinical research. It should be noted that the data on the acoustic parameters of the voice in patients with chronic pathology of the upper respiratory tract are contradictory and few. Under the influence of any chronic pathology, the quality of human life changes, characterizing the physiological, psychological, emotional, and social components. Purpose. To determine the acoustic parameters of the voice in patients with chronic sinusitis. Materials and methods. The study involved 55 people aged 19 to 76 years (35 people with chronic non-polypous sinusitis and 20 people – medical workers, according to the results of dispensary observation, belonging to the healthy group. The objective analysis of the voice was carried out using the software "LingWaves" Phonetogramm 2.5. Results. During the analysis of the objective characteristics of the voice in healthy and patients with chronic sinusitis, only a significant difference in the time of maximum phonation was noted (15.6 seconds and 13.3 seconds; p=0.033). The remaining parameters of the vocal function of healthy individuals and those with sinus pathology did not differ from each other. Conclusions. The frequency characteristics of the human vocal apparatus are stable, and little changed in the pathology of the sinuses.

“…Because developing and implementing personalized therapeutic strategies may be resource-intensive, requiring advanced diagnostic tools and technologies, the current resource limitations of many healthcare systems may be considered the primary barrier to the widespread adoption of personalized approaches. The development of artificial intelligence software supporting the physician's tasks may be an important issue for widespread future personalized approaches [121][122][123][124][125].…”

Objective: To review the current findings of the literature on the existence of several profiles of laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) patients and to propose personalized diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. Methods: A state-of-the art review of the literature was conducted using the PubMED, Scopus, and Cochrane Library databases. The information related to epidemiology, demographics, clinical presentations, diagnostic approaches, and therapeutic responses were extracted to identify outcomes that may influence the clinical and therapeutic courses of LPR. Results: The clinical presentation and therapeutic courses of LPR may be influenced by gender, age, weight, comorbidities, dietary habits and culture, anxiety, stress, and saliva enzyme profile. The clinical expression of reflux, including laryngopharyngeal, respiratory, nasal, and eye symptoms, and the hypopharyngeal–esophageal multichannel intraluminal impedance-pH monitoring profile of patients are important issues to improve in patient management. The use of more personalized therapeutic strategies appears to be associated with better symptom relief and cures over the long-term. The role of pepsin in LPR physiology is well-established but the lack of information about the role of other gastrointestinal enzymes in the development of LPR-related mucosa inflammation limits the development of future enzyme-based personalized diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. Conclusion: Laryngopharyngeal reflux is a challenging ear, nose, and throat condition associated with poor therapeutic responses and a long-term burden in Western countries. Artificial intelligence should be used for developing personalized therapeutic strategies based on patient features.

“…Mobile communication devices such as smartphones or tablets are widely available to most of the global population, with the number of smartphone subscriptions expected to reach about 7145 billion by 2024 [ 1 ]. The increasing number of validated applications for smartphones in the field of general otorhinolaryngology and especially in a field related to voice assessment and management of voice disorders is permanently monitored in the literature [ 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 ]. Advances in smartphone technology and microphone quality offer an affordable and accessible alternative to studio microphones traditionally used for speech analysis, thus providing an effective tool for assessing, detecting, and caring for voice disorders [ 7 , 8 , 9 ].…”

The aim of the study was to develop a universal-platform-based (UPB) application suitable for different smartphones for estimation of the Acoustic Voice Quality Index (AVQI) and evaluate its reliability in AVQI measurements and normal and pathological voice differentiation. Our study group consisted of 135 adult individuals, including 49 with normal voices and 86 patients with pathological voices. The developed UPB “Voice Screen” application installed on five iOS and Android smartphones was used for AVQI estimation. The AVQI measures calculated from voice recordings obtained from a reference studio microphone were compared with AVQI results obtained using smartphones. The diagnostic accuracy of differentiating normal and pathological voices was evaluated by applying receiver-operating characteristics. One-way ANOVA analysis did not detect statistically significant differences between mean AVQI scores revealed using a studio microphone and different smartphones (F = 0.759; p = 0.58). Almost perfect direct linear correlations (r = 0.991–0.987) were observed between the AVQI results obtained with a studio microphone and different smartphones. An acceptable level of precision of the AVQI in discriminating between normal and pathological voices was yielded, with areas under the curve (AUC) displaying 0.834–0.862. There were no statistically significant differences between the AUCs (p > 0.05) obtained from studio and smartphones’ microphones. The significant difference revealed between the AUCs was only 0.028. The UPB “Voice Screen” application represented an accurate and robust tool for voice quality measurements and normal vs. pathological voice screening purposes, demonstrating the potential to be used by patients and clinicians for voice assessment, employing both iOS and Android smartphones.
