RESUMO
Adolescence is a challenging time of change in voicing, normally and in pathology. An increased focus on voice production in relation to genetics can expand our knowledge of the onset of puberty and voice change. Our aim with this review was to connect research of genetics to voice production in adolescence. We need further understanding of the developmental background of voice in childhood and adolescence, because many genetic multi handicaps include voice production. Genetic development related to voice production was the focus in a search made by the Royal English Society of Medicine, with only a few results. We supplemented with references to genetic studies of adults and animals as well as adjacent areas of voice production. The genetic development of voice production is steered from the hypothalamus probably related to growth hormone. The genetic voice production in adults form the basis for understanding development. Some research results were found related to the pubertal steps. The findings are important in the future, using advanced voice analysis and artificial intelligence methods in patients with Multi handicaps.
RESUMO
To directly relate tissue abnormalities to dysfunctional voicing, it is decisive to temporally resolve the vocal fold movement during phonation on the microscopic level. High-speed video (HSV) can record the vocal folds with 2,000-4,000 fps. Ultra-high resolution optical coherence tomography can distinguish cellular layers with a resolution better than 5 µm within a tissue depth of 1 mm. In this review, we propose combining the two technologies and apply deep learning-based image segmentation to establish statistical evident and reproducible documentation for voice-related diseases.
