patients beyond the initial moments of injury and treatment in the
emergency room. Minor Head Trauma offers insight on: - a range of
related issues from emergency room management to psychiatric
evaluation and rehabilitation; - the role of electrophysiological
testing in patients - including BEAM techniques; - the subtleties
of neurophysiological diagnosis; - neurotoxicological evaluation
and treatment; - diagnosis and treatment of temporomandibular joint
disorders; - the nature and pathogenesis of visual sequelae of head

Laryngology: Clinical Reference Guide is a portable reference guide
that fills the void of an easy-to-read, concise, but comprehensive
book encompassing all aspects of laryngology. Each chapter follows
a uniform outline to facilitate quick review of a topic, and the
comprehensive nature of each chapter provides depth. This
clinically relevant resource is organized into ten sections that
are broken down into their most important and fundamental parts by
chapter, including the History of Laryngology; Embryology, Anatomy,
and Physiology; Evaluation and Physical Examinations; Laryngologic
Disorders; Neurolaryngology; Laryngologic Manifestations of
Systemic Diseases; Pediatric Laryngology; Surgery; Swallowing
Disorders; and Therapy. As a review book, it is ideal for residents
and fellows in training and those preparing for board and
in-service training examinations, as well as medical students
looking for a "deeper dive" into the world of laryngology. However,
it is also excellent for the practitioner who wants to get a
succinct update on the latest, cutting-edge knowledge in all areas
of laryngology. The information is authored by a collection of
"who's who" in laryngology. Formatted like the bestselling "Pasha"
(Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery) pocket guide, this text
provides a condensed amount of high-yield information with a
multidisciplinary approach to bring a broad range of insight into
complex clinical challenges.
Now in one convenient volume, "Vocal Health and Pedagogy: Science,
Assessment, and Treatment, Third Edition" answers every question
you've ever had about the voice, from the physics of sounds, to
vocal technique, to medications, to performance anxiety. It
presents anatomical, physiological, and neurological
considerations, as well as covers critical issues related to
patient history, laryngeal function, the physical examination, and
historical perspectives of vocal pedagogy.The first part of the
book introduces basic concepts of voice science, assessment, and
training. It focuses on the science behind the common problems that
afflict voice users and enables understanding of the medical
approach to problem analysis. The second part of the book contains
additional information on the specific health and performance
conditions that affect the voice and their assessment and
treatment. It considers the medical and non-medical issues
affecting the human voice, including diagnosis and treatment of
voice problems, the effects of physical injury, posture, pollutants
and irritants, psychological effects, voice therapy, medication,
and more." Vocal Health and Pedagogy: Science, Assessment, and
Treatment, Third Edition" is ideal for courses in vocal pedagogy
and speech-language pathology. Additionally, it is a valuable
resource for professional and amateur performers and their
teachers.New to this edition:*New chapters on topics such as
pedagogy for children, the importance of studying music, laryngeal
issues involving wind instrument performance, high-speed digital
imaging, the evolution of technology, pediatric voice disorders,
thyroid disorders, the vocal effects of birth control medications,
and autoimmune disorders.*Many chapters have been extensively
revised to update previous content and add new information on
material such as choral pedagogy for geriatric singers, World Trade
Center Syndrome, and laryngeal effects of asbestos
exposure.*Chapters on medications for performers have been revised
to delete medications no longer used frequently and to add various
medications and drug classes that were not included previously, as
well as information on alternative and complimentary medicines.*
References have been updated throughout to include discussion of
new studies and a review of the latest literature, while also
retaining the classic literature.*Includes the most recent
practices and techniques, the latest information on surgical and
adjunctive therapy, and important changes in criteria and strategy.
The voice is a central part of identity, connection, and
communication. As such, the psychological effects of a voice
disorder, especially for individuals who use their voices
professionally, can be profound and wide-reaching. The second
edition of Psychology of Voice Disorders is a guide for medical
health professionals who care for patients dealing with vocal
issues, including mental health professionals, speech-language
pathologists, physicians, and other members of the medical team.
Psychology of Voice Disorders was the first book to offer insights
into the psychology of patients with voice disorders, including the
interaction between the disorder, treatment, and patient
self-esteem. The revised edition builds on the features of the
original to provide comprehensive support for professionals
treating voice disorders.
"Neurolaryngology" brings together in one volume the latest
concepts in this important and developing field. In order to make
this text as useful as possible for clinicians, selected chapters
on general concepts important to clinical care have been included,
including chapters on history, physical examination, clinical voice
laboratory assessment, common diagnosis and treatments, and other
topics important to all voice patients, including those with
neurolaryngological complaints.Starting with a perspective on
modern voice medicine including neurolaryngology and a brief
historical overview of the development of laryngology, the text
goes on to describe neuroanatomy and physiology, laryngeal
function, and chaos and voice disorders. It contains fascinating
new ideas on applications of non-linear dynamics to voice care and
research, a topic of great relevance in neurolaryngology.Beginning
the section on clinical assessment of voice disorders is a
description of the current approach to history and physical
examination recommended for patients with neurolaryngological voice
disorders.The text contains the most current research and
references throughout, presenting the latest information about many
conditions, including some rarely covered in the laryngologic
literature; it highlights diagnosis and treatment of a wide array
of motor and sensory disorders that may impair voice. The
interdisciplinary expertise of numerous authors has been invaluable
in the preparation of this text; however, every effort has been
made to maintain style and continuity throughout. Clinically
relevant and thought provoking, "Neurolaryngology" is the
definitive encyclopedic reference in this new subspecialty of
laryngology.
"Laryngeal Electromyography, Third Edition" is an easy guide and
quick reference for laryngologists, neurologists, physiatrists and
others who wish to learn the procedure of laryngeal
electromyography in order to stimulate and then evaluate the
integrity of the muscles and nerves of the larynx, and to determine
the cause of movement disorders of the vocal folds (vocal chords)
and make a diagnosis.Thoroughly revised since the previous edition,
"Laryngeal Electromyography" provides the latest advances on
electromyographic procedure and diagnostics. This third edition
includes concise, practical coverage on the details of the
procedure and clinical applications.

Obesity and Voice: Current Views and Future Trends examines
obesity-related voice research and suggests future research trends
on the link between weight loss, weight gain, obesity, and
phonation. Obesity is becoming one of the leading causes of
disabilities and death. This unique text highlights the various
means by which excessive weight, and weight loss, may jeopardize
voice quality and endurance. All three components of voice
production, the respiratory system and abdominal back and thoracic
muscles as the power source, the vocal folds as the oscillator, and
the vocal tract as the resonator, are targets of anatomic and
systemic obesity-induced changes. Consequently, phonatory effects
of obesity are inevitable. Considering the epidemic nature of
obesity, obesity-related voice research is a critical topic for
anyone interested in conditions affecting the voice, especially
professional voice users and physicians.
