Rearranging Voice Disorders: Refining the New Two-Dimensional Continuous Model
Voice and laryngeal pathologies are traditionally arranged in categories. A recent study has suggested an alternative approach, using two continuous scales, Organicity and Tonicity, which form a two-dimensional plane on which all pathologies/conditions can be arranged. (Source: Journal of Voice)

First-Person Perspectives of Gender-Affirming Voice Feminization Training: A Mixed Methods Approach
Despite evidence for the validity of using client-led outcome measures in gender-affirming voice training (GAVT), the existing body of research on voice feminization relies heavily on acoustic-perceptual measures without additional qualitative exploration of client experience. Additionally, the authors are not aware of any existing studies prompting client input on the voice feminization methods they find most helpful in achieving their voice goals. The current study focuses on crucial client perceptions of GAVT for voice feminization and identifies the methods clients find most helpful. (Source: Journal of Voice)

Prevalence of and Risk Factors for Self-Reported Voice Problems in Tibetan Monks
It is observed that Tibetan monks pray for a long duration with inappropriate pitch and loudness. Hence, they may be prone to developing voice problems (VPs). However, the monks are not stressed and do not miss praying in the monastery (which is quite different from many other professional voice users in Western countries). Moreover, no studies have investigated the nature of VPs among Tibetan monks. Such a study may provide insight into the prevalence of and risk factors for VPs and may help enhance our knowledge of the VPs in Tibetan monks. (Source: Journal of Voice)

Quebec French Translation, Cultural Adaptation, and Validation of the Singing Voice Handicap Index-10 Questionnaire for Singers with Dysphonia
Dysphonia is a common voice disorder that can significantly impact a person ’s life; it requires a collaborative evaluation by both speech-language pathologists and otolaryngologists that takes the patient’s perspective into account. The aim of this study was to translate and culturally adapt the Singing Voice Handicap Index questionnaire (SVHI-10), a reliable patient-r eported outcome evaluation tool for dysphonia, for the Quebec French population. The result is the Singing Voice Handicap Index-10-QC (SVHI-10-QC). (Source: Journal of Voice)

Healthcare Spending and Systemic Bevacizumab for Recurrent Respiratory Papillomatosis
Juvenile-onset recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (JoRRP) is a rare, costly condition linked to human papillomavirus. Standard of care is serial surgical debridement. Many adjunctive therapies have been trialed, with recent success with systemic bevacizumab. This paper examines healthcare spending associated with systemic bevacizumab use for JoRRP and compares it to healthcare spending for surgical care alone to determine whether bevacizumab has a financial benefit.

Nerve Conduction Studies of the Larynx: Porcine Model and Human Application
There is a paucity of information in the literature about how electromyography (EMG) with nerve conduction studies (NCS) can be utilized in the field of neurolaryngology. The goal of this study was two-part: (1) to identify the NCS test parameters that best reflect underlying neurolaryngeal pathophysiology in a porcine model, and (2) to determine if comparable NCS parameters can be used to assess clinical laryngeal denervation injuries in patients.
