The purpose of this study was to examine the play skills of children with typical development and those with speech and language disorders (SLD) based on gender, the presence of siblings, and parents' education levels. There were 270 children included in the study's sample. In the study, 'The Play Behaviour Scale' was used. Reticent behaviour scores of girls with SLD were significantly higher than those of boys, and scuffle play, scores of typically developing boys were significantly higher than those of girls. The social play scores of children with SLD were statistically significant when they had a sibling. Children whose parents had a high school education or less had considerably higher scuffle play ratings than children whose parents had a university degree or above. Consequently, it was observed that demographic variables influenced the play skills of children with SLD. Defining these children's play behaviours based on various variables will be beneficial for creating intervention programmes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: This study aimed to classify the degree of edema in patients with Reinke's edema (RE) and examine its impact on their voice parameters using both objective and subjective assessment methods. Methods: Objective and subjective voice data of 104 patients diagnosed with RE between 2018 and 2021 were evaluated retrospectively. RE is classified into 4 groups (types 1, 2, 3, and 4). The evaluation included video laryngostroboscopic examination, acoustic voice analysis, and aerodynamic measurements, GRBAS, Voice Handicap Index-10 (VHI-10), Voice-Related Quality of Life Scale (V-RQOL), and Reflux Septum Index (RSI). Results: Patients with type 1 RE had a significantly lower mean age than those with types 3-4. Although there were no significant differences in acoustic and aerodynamic parameters between the groups, it was observed that F0 and the maximum phonation time decreased as the degree of edema increased. The GRBASTotal, G, and R scores of types 1 and 2 were significantly lower than those of types 3 and 4, as were the scores of type 1 S. There were no statistically significant differences between the RE groups in terms of VHI-10, V-RQOL, and RSI scores. Conclusion: It has been observed that as the severity of RE increases, voice perception and quality (especially types 3 and 4) are negatively affected. Determining the degree of edema will guide the clinician in both the planning of the intervention phase and the follow-up phase. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of voice therapy in the treatment of patients with mutational falsetto and which parameters should be used as a more specific criterion for assessing the effectiveness of this treatment. Methods: The objective and subjective voice evaluation data from the files of patients diagnosed with mutational falsetto between 2014 and 2019 were retrospectively evaluated in the study. Fundamental frequency, jitter (%), shimmer (%), noise-to-harmonics ratio, voice turbulence index, soft phonation index, voice handicap index-10, and Grade, Roughness, Breathiness, Asthenia, and Strain scale are all used in the evaluation of voice. The acoustic and perceptual analysis findings of the patients before and after therapy were compared. Results: A total of 31 participants were enrolled in the study. After therapy, the Grade, Roughness, Breathiness, Asthenia, and Strain scale and voice handicap index-10 scores were statistically substantially lower than before therapy (P < .05). The mean fundamental frequency of the patients before therapy was 230.65 ± 69.16 Hz, whereas after therapy, it was 126.32 ± 16.86 Hz. After therapy, there was a statistically significant difference in fundamental frequency, jitter (%), and soft phonation index values when compared to before therapy (P < .05). All patients received an average of 4 sessions of voice therapy. Conclusions: Voice therapy has been identified as a significant treatment approach among the treatment choices for individuals with mutational falsetto. Although fundamental frequency is the most prominent parameter among the acoustic analysis results for determining the efficacy of this therapy, the jitter and soft phonation index parameters were also found to be significant.

Çalışmamızda, ataklarla seyreden (Relapsing-Remitting) tipteki MS tanısı konulmuş vakalarda vestibüler sinir, utrikül, sakkül ve yarım daire kanallarından oluşan periferik vestibüler end organ hasarının olup olmadığı VEMP/vHIT testi kullanılarak araştırılmıştır. Ataklarla seyreden tipteki MS hastalarının VEMP/vHIT bulguları sağlıklı bireylerle karşılaştırılmış, VEMP/vHIT parametreleri ve beyin magnetik rezonans görüntüleme (MRG) bulguları araştırılmıştır. Bu amaçla çalışmaya, Dışkapı Yıldırım Beyazıt Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi Nöroloji Anabilim Dalı'nda Nöroloji hekimi tarafından ataklarla seyreden tipte MS tanısı konulan 18-60 yaşları arasında toplam 50 birey ile aynı yaş grubunda normal işitmesi olan ve denge problemi olmayan 35 normal ve sağlıklı birey dâhil edilmiştir. Grupların değerlendirmesinde kullanılan sVEMP, oVEMP ve vHIT testleri Dışkapı Yıldırım Beyazıt Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi Kulak Burun Boğaz Anabilim Dalı Odyoloji Ünite'sinde yapılmıştır. MS grubunun EDSS ve MRG bulguları nöroloji hekimleri tarafından değerlendirilmiştir.Çalışmada elde edilen verilerin analizi sonucunda, MS grubunda oVEMP'te cevap elde edilme oranları kontrol grubuna göre anlamlı olarak farklı elde edilirken, sVEMP cevapları açısından anlamlı farklılık saptanmamıştır. İki grup arasında sVEMP/oVEMP ortalama latansları ve vHIT kazançları açısından anlamlı farklılık bulunmamıştır. Fakat sVEMP amplitüdleri açısından iki grup karşılaştırıldığında MS grubunda anlamlı derecede düşük elde edilmiştir. MS'li grupta beyin sapı serebellar semptomları, beyin sapı göz hareket bozukluğu semptomları, internükleer oftalmopleji, geçirilmiş optik nevrit atağı, hastalık süresi, EDSS puanı, toplam atak sayısı ile VEMP/ vHIT arasında anlamlı bir ilişki gözlenmemiştir. MS'li grupta anormal oVEMP görülme oranı kontrol grubuna göre anlamlı derecede yüksek bulunurken, anormal sVEMP ve vHIT görülme oranı açısından gruplar arasında anlamlı bulunmamıştır. MS grubunda MRG'de lezyon yerleşim yerine göre mezensefalon, bulbus, pons ve servikal lezyon ile anormal VEMP ve vHIT arasında anlamlı ilişki elde edilmemiştir. MS hastalarının vertigo, dizziness, bulantı, kusma gibi denge ile ilgili ciddi problemler yaşadıklarında tüm vestibüler değerlendirmenin yapılmasının yararlı olabileceği düşünülmektedir.Anahtar Kelimeler: Görüntüleme, multipl skleroz, vestibuler evoked myogenikpotansiyel, video head impulse test In our study, whether or not there was a peripheral vestibular end organ damage composed of vestibular nerve, utricle, saccule, and semicircular canals in cases diagnosed with relapsing-remitting MS was investigated by using the VEMP/vHIT test. The VEMP/vHIT findings of relapsing-remitting type of MS patients were compared with healthy subjects, the VEMP/vHIT parameters and brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings were investigated.For this purpose, a total of 50 individuals between the ages of 18 and 60 who were diagnosed with relapsing-remitting MS by a neurology physician at the Department of Neurology, Dışkapı Yıldırım Beyazıt Training and Research Hospital and 35 normal and healthy individuals in the same age group with normal hearing and without balance problems were included in the study. The sVEMP, oVEMP and vHIT tests used in the evaluation of the groups were performed in the Audiology Unit of the Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Dışkapı Yıldırım Beyazıt Training and Research Hospital. EDSS and magnetic resonance imaging findings of the MS group were evaluated by neurology physicians.As a result of the analysis of the data obtained from the study, the rates of obtaining oVEMP response in the MS group were significantly different from the control group, while there was no significant difference in terms of sVEMP responses. There was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of sVEMP/oVEMP mean latencies and vHIT gains. However, when the groups were compared in terms of sVEMP amplitudes, it was found to be significantly lower in the MS group. In the MS group, there was no significant correlation between brain stem-cerebellar symptoms, brain stem eye movement disorder symptoms, internuclear ophthalmoplegia, previous optic neuritic episode, duration of illness, EDSS score, total number of episodes and VEMP/vHIT. Incidence of abnormal oVEMP was significantly higher in the MS group than in the control group, whereas incidence of abnormal sVEMP and vHIT were not significant between groups. In MS group, no significant correlation was found between mesencephalon, bulbus, pons, cervical lesion and abnormal VEMP and vHIT according to lesion localization in MRI.It is thought that it may be useful to perform all vestibular evaluation, when MS patients have serious problems related to balance; such as vertigo, dizziness, nausea, and vomiting.Keywords: Imaging, multiple sclerosis, vestibular evoked myogenic potential, videohead impulse test 86

Çalışmamızda, işitme engelinin erken tanısının bebeklerin/çocukların gelişim alanlarına (dil gelişimine, ince motor, kaba motor, sosyal ve günlük yaşam becerilerine) olan etkisi incelenerek, normal işiten bebekler/çocuklar ile konjenital işitme kayıplı bebekler/çocuklar gelişim alanları açısından karşılaştırılmış ve erken tanının gelişim alanları üzerine olan etkisinde rol oynayan faktörler belirlenmiştir. Bu amaçla, Hacettepe Üniversitesi Kulak Burun Boğaz Anabilim Dalı Odyoloji Ünitesi'nde yenidoğan işitme taraması kapsamında işitme kaybı tanısı konulan 50 işitme kayıplı bebek/çocuk çalışma grubunu oluştururken aynı yaş grubunda normal işitmeye sahip 50 bebek/çocuk kontrol grubunu oluşturmuştur. Çocukların gelişimlerini değerlendirmek için Ankara Gelişim Tarama Envanteri, Vineland Uyum Davranış Ölçeği, Denver II Gelişimsel Tarama Testi uygulanmıştır. İşitme kayıplı grubun işitsel algı becerileri ise Anlamlı İşitsel Deneyim Skalası ile değerlendirilmiştir. Çalışmada elde edilen verilerin analizi sonucunda, her iki grup arasında işitme kaybı risk faktörü varlığı ve risk faktörlerinden akraba evliliği, ailede işitme kaybı öyküsü, anoksi ve yenidoğan yoğun bakım ünitesinde (YYBÜ) tedavi görme arasında anlamlı farklılık elde edilmiştir. Risk faktörü ve ek problem varlığı ile akraba evliliği, ailede işitme kaybı öyküsü, YYBÜ' sinde tedavi görme ve anoksi öyküsü olan işitme kayıplı grubun, risk faktörü ve ek problemi olmayan işitme kayıplı gruba göre, tüm gelişim testleri ve Anlamlı İşitsel Deneyim Skalası puanları daha düşük elde edilmiştir. Yenidoğan İşitme Taraması ile tanı yaşı, işitme cihazı kullanma yaşı ve işitsel eğitime başlama yaşının düştüğü görülmüştür. Ancak erken ve geç olmak üzere iki gruba ayrılan işitme kayıplı bebeklerin/çocukların gelişimsel ve işitsel algı becerileri yönünden farklılık bulunamamıştır. İşitme kayıplı gruptaki bebekler/çocuklar; dil gelişimleri, sosyal becerileri ve günlük yaşam becerileri açısından normal işiten gruptakilere göre daha düşük performans göstermektedir. p

- Abstract
Objectives: This study aimed to determine the impact of different types of masks on the voices of healthcare professionals who had to wear masks for an extended amount of time during the pandemic period and had a healthy voice., Methods: Our research included 41 healthcare workers. The participants were separated into two groups: surgical (n = 21) and N95 mask users (n = 20). Healthcare workers evaluated masks before and after wearing them for at least 8 hours throughout the workday. All subjects had a videolaryngoscopic examination; the Voice Handicap Index-10 (VHI-10), GRBAS, acoustic voice analysis (F0, jitter%, shimmer%, noise/harmonic ratio, relative average perturbation [RAP]), aerodynamic measures (maximum phonation time, MPT), and blood oxygen saturation were evaluated., Results: Although both groups' VHI-10 scores increased after using the mask, this rise was not statistically significant in our research. According to the GRBAS classification, voice quality deterioration was identified in 9.6% (mild-moderate) of the group using surgical masks and 15% (mild) of the group wearing N95. Only the jitter and RAP values of individuals wearing both surgical and N95 masks were determined to be statistically significant. There was no significant change in MPT following mask wear in either group. Both the surgical and N95 mask-using groups showed a substantial drop in blood oxygen saturation before and after mask usage., Conclusion: There was no change in voice quality between healthcare workers wearing surgical and N95 masks. It has been noticed that voice perception and quality are affected by the mask's barrier effect rather than the kind of mask., Competing Interests: Declaration of Competing Interest The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper., (Copyright © 2024 The Voice Foundation.

Objectives: This study aims to investigate the effects of age factor on the long-term efficacy of cochlear implantation., Patients and Methods: The electronic records of patients, who underwent cochlear implantation with the initial diagnosis of bilateral severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss in our clinic between January 2001 and December 2008, were analyzed retrospectively. The patients were divided into two groups according to their age at the time of cochlear implantation, including group 1 with the patients less than four years of age and group 2 with the patients more than four years of age. Groups were evaluated and compared for the in terms of demographic characteristics, Categories of Auditory Performance (CAP) and Speech Intelligibility Rating (SIR) at three years following surgery., Results: A total of 37 patients underwent cochlear implantation. Of them, 18 patients (48.6%) were operated at less than four years of age, while 19 patients (51.4%) were operated at more than four years of age. No significant difference was found between the groups in terms of sex, educational level and profession of the parents, operated side and duration of implant use. According to CAP and SIR categories, group 1 patients had statistically significantly higher level of the CAP and SIR categories (p=0.009 and p<0.001 respectively)., Conclusion: Our study results suggested that the age of cochlear implantation has significant effects on long-term hearing and speech abilities. Cochlear implantation carried out at earlier ages (<4) enhances more satisfactory results in terms of long-term efficacy.
