Modification of velopharyngeal closure pressures during phonation by neuromuscular electrical stimulation in healthy individuals
CONCLUSIONS: NMES in combination with articulation results in a change of the velopharyngeal closure pattern with a pressure increase of around 200% in healthy individuals. This might be of therapeutic benefit for patients with velopharyngeal insufficiency.PMID:38651019 | PMC:PMC11034089 | DOI:10.3205/000329 (Source: GMS German Medical Science)

Differences in velopharyngeal pressures during speech sound production in patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) and healthy individuals
CONCLUSIONS: It can be concluded that velopharyngeal pressures of patients with UCLP are not sufficient to eliminate nasal resonance or turbulence during articulation, especially for more complex sounds. These results support a general understanding of hypernasality during speech implying a (relative) velopharyngeal insufficiency.PMID:38651020 | PMC:PMC11034380 | DOI:10.3205/000328 (Source: GMS German Medical Science)

Die EU-Verordnung f ür In-vitro-Diagnostika (IVDR) in der Praxis: Umsetzung und Anwendung - Ergebnisse einer öffentlichen Veranstaltung der Arbeitsgemeinschaft der Wissenschaftlichen Medizinischen Fachgesellschaften (AWMF) im März 2023
Ger Med Sci. 2024 Jan 29;22:Doc01. doi: 10.3205/000327. eCollection 2024.ABSTRACTIn order to discuss first experiences with the implementation of the EU Regulation on In Vitro Diagnostic Medical Devices (IVDR) about one year after its entry into force, the German Association of the Scientific Medical Societies (AWMF e.V.) organized a full-day public webinar. Overall, it became clear that the implementation of the IVDR still poses significant challenges for laboratory medicine and pathology. Corrections at the political level and implementation with a sense of proportion are required. Before the long-term goal of the IVDR, ...
