“…This association encompasses chronic pharyngitis [ 11 ], obstructive sleep apnea [ 12 ], chronic rhinosinusitis [ 13 – 15 ], and asthma [ 16 ]. Furthermore, the awareness of LPR as an airway disease has grown [ 3 , 17 ]. However, one of the most common airway diseases in the world is allergic rhinitis (AR).…”

Background and Objectives Laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) exhibits nonspecific clinical presentations, and these symptoms may be associated with other conditions such as allergies, including allergic rhinitis and laryngitis. However, there is a gap in the literature regarding the correlation of laryngopharyngeal reflux with allergic rhinitis/laryngitis. Hence, the aim of this study is to explore the correlation between these two conditions. Patients and Methods A total of 126 patients with suggestive manifestations of laryngopharyngeal reflux were included in this study. Patients were classified into LPR positive and negative groups based on the results of a 24-hour oropharyngeal pH monitoring system while allergic rhinitis status was assessed with the score for allergic rhinitis (SFAR). The results of the two groups were compared regarding the SFAR score. Correlation between the pH results and SFAR score was explored. Results The LPR positive group demonstrated significantly higher SFAR scores compared to the negative LPR group (p < 0.0001). In addition, the Ryan score was significantly correlated with the SFAR total score and its symptomatology-related items (r ranged between 0.35 and 0.5). Conclusion. It seems that laryngopharyngeal reflux increases patients' self-rating of allergic manifestations. It appears that there is an association between laryngopharyngeal reflux and allergic rhinitis/laryngitis.

“…Six hCS were more represented in older than in younger euthyroid subjects (p<0.01): periorbital puffiness, impairment of hearing, constipation, dry skin and diminished sweating and hoarseness of voice but these signs are also described in physiological aging (29-33). In SCH seniors, coarse skin and slow movements showed increased expression, correlated with high specificity and good positive LR.…”

No recent study has focused on clinical features of subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH), especially in older patients. TSH measurement has remarkably evolved these last 20 years and thus reconsideration is needed. In our prospective multicenter study (2012-2014) including 807 subjects aged <60 years (<60y) and 531 subjects ≥60 years (≥60y), we have monitored 11 hypothyroidism-related clinical signs (hCS) together with TSH, FT4, FT3 and anti-thyroperoxidase antibodies values. hCS expression has been compared in patients with SCH vs euthyroidism in each age group. The number of hCS above 60y of age were found to be more elevated in the euthyroid population (1.9 vs 1.6, p<0.01) than in the SCH population (2.3 vs 2.6, p=0.41) while increase in hCS is limited to SCH subjects in the <60y group (p<0.01). The percentage of subjects with at least 3 signs increased with SCH in the <60y group (42.6% vs 25.0%, p<0.01) but not ≥60y (34.4% vs 33.9%, p=0.96). In older individuals, only three hCS could be related to both SCH and a decreased T3/T4-ratio (0.26 vs 0.27, p<0.01), suggesting either a reduced activity of TSH, or an adaptive response with aging. While hCS are clearly associated with SCH in patients <60y, they are not so informative in older subjects. TSH measurements carried out on the basis of hCS need to be interpreted with caution in aged patients. A reassessment of the TSH reference range in older patients is clearly needed and should be associated to more appropriate monitoring of thyroid dysfunction

“…The obvious reason behind was that the singer in our study is a regular singer. It has been reported that voice of the professional singers take longer time to age, as they keep their laryngeal muscles strong by regular singing exercises [20]. The decrease in F0 in the later years of the singer may be related to hormonal effects observed in female singers.…”

“…The purpose of this study is to focus on the effect of aging collectively on large number of singing voice parameters. Firstly it is observed that most of the aging analysis has been performed on speakers, either for sustained vowels, reading passages or recorded materials for speech related features like speech rate, sound pressure level, F0, F0 range, vowel formants, voice range profile, tremor or shakiness in the voice [1,12,[17][18][19][20][21]. But singing is different from speaking.…”

Age-related changes to the vocal structure affect the singing ability of the singer. We present a longitudinal study of vocal ageing of a female professional playback singer having more than six decades of singing span (covering singer age from 19 to 80 years). The ageing analysis is performed on six vocal parameters like – fundamental frequency (F0), vibrato, formants and spectral features like spectral roll-off and centroid. Statistical variations in these vocal parameters over the entire singing span of the singer are discussed in the paper. Significant effects noted with the ageing voice were - decrease in F0, decreased vocal range, reduction in vibrato rate, increase in vibrato extent, decrease in F2 & F4 formants and rapid change in the spectral features. This investigation also studied the effect of ageing on singing voice quality through the measurement of singing power ratio (SPR). Increase in SPR measures was observed with ageing voice. The study of impact of vocal ageing with longitudinal data on singer identification (SID) is scare. The SID experimentation performed with 350 cappella songs covering entire singing span of the singer, showed a clear impact that change in acoustical parameters with ageing affected the performance of singer identification systems.
