This is the first of two volumes that draw on the specialized insights and extensive clinical experience of phoniatric experts in order to offer a basis for the development of concerted European training standards in phoniatrics, with the goal of guaranteeing a high quality of care for European patients in all age groups. The interdisciplinary character of phoniatrics is mirrored in the inclusion of valuable contributions from a range of other medical and non-medical disciplines. This volume focuses on voice disorders and disorders of language and hearing development. In each case a wide range of particular kinds of communication loss are considered. Basic aspects are fully addressed, and guidance provided on diagnostic methods, differential diagnosis, prevention, treatment/rehabilitation, and prognosis. An introductory section also discusses the fundamentals of phoniatrics. The reader will benefit from numerous color photos and tables as well as supplementary electronic material, including audio and video examples. This book is intended for residents and practitioners in phoniatrics and also for ENT physicians, medical students, logopedists, and speech and language pathologists and therapists.

First multi-year cumulation covers six years: 1965-70.

The papers of an international conference, held at the State University Upstate Medical Center at Syracuse, devoted to the sound-generating functions of the human larynx and its neuromuscular connections. The papers are divided into the categories of anatomy, neurophysiology, physics, electromyography, high-speed photography and stroboscopy, phonetics, voice diagnosis and therapy, relations with hearing and speech, pathology, and medical and surgical aspects.

Culturally Responsive Practices in Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences, Second Edition provides an innovative perspective on cultural responsiveness in the field of communication sciences and disorders. It is imperative for clinicians and scientists to be aware of diverse aspects of globalization: how these aspects may affect their own knowledge, strengths, biases, and interventions, as well as the relationships between the communities, families, and individuals with whom they partner in care. This essential textbook will facilitate the creation of knowledge and the development of attitudes and skills that lead to culturally responsive practices. The text presents conceptual frameworks to guide readers toward cultural responsiveness by becoming critically engaged users of culturally responsive and globally engaged practices. The text is focused on speech, language, and hearing, but also draws from theoretical frameworks in other disciplines for an interprofessional, transdisciplinary, and macro practice perspective, and is appropriate for other allied health professions. New to the Second Edition: * Reorganized chapters and text for a greater flow of information. * Updated throughout to reflect the current state of research. * A thoroughly revised chapter on Culturally Responsive Practices using a Human Rights Approach through a Social Justice Lens (Chapter 4) * Material on Culture and Hearing (Chapter 6) has been updated and expanded * Key terms are now bolded throughout the text. * Content has been edited to be more concise for increased readability and comprehension. * New reflection focus with thought cloud graphic noted to target these areas throughout the book. Key Features: * Case studies facilitating knowledge and skills regarding culturally and linguistically responsive practices * Journal prompts and discussion questions challenging individuals to use critical and dialectical thinking * Real-life activities that can be completed inside or outside the classroom or therapeutic setting * Suggested readings from the current literature in cultural and linguistic responsiveness and global engagement to build knowledge and skills, and to influence student attitudes Disclaimer: Please note that ancillary content (such as study guides, flashcards, and additional readings) may not be included as published in the original print version of this book.

"Phonosurgery: theory and practice" is a book that makes an impor tant contribution to the literature in laryngology. Professor Isshiki has been a driving force in the investigation and correction of certain conditions of the voice. His leadership in this field over two decades has proved to be an inspiration to those interested in the diagnosis and correction of the abnormal voice. His unique background and training in both otolaryngology and plastic surgery has provided him with fundamental knowledge and experience in the study of the voice and larynx and has given him an opportunity to utilize innovative surgical techniques in the correction of some of these problems. Professor Isshiki's name is indelibly linked with laryngeal framework surgery, and those who read this book will not be dis appointed. The book provides very adequate information on the phy siology and pathology of the voice. Emphasis is given to diagnostic aspects of abnormalities of the voice which have been made easier with the development of high technology, such as the use of the com puter and improved laryngoscopes, which include brighter lights, higher resolution lenses, and, when combined with stroboscopy and high-speed filming videolaryngoscopy, provide a valuable tool in faci litating communication between the patient, the physician, and the voice therapist.
