Voice Quality Dimensions as Interpretable Primitives for Speaking Style for Atypical Speech and Affect

Jaya Narain, Vasudha Kowtha, Colin Lea, Lauren Tooley et autres

Perceptual voice quality dimensions describe key characteristics of atypical speech and other speech modulations. Here we develop and evaluate voice quality models for seven voice and speech dimensions (intelligibility, imprecise consonants, harsh voice, naturalness, monoloudness, monopitch, and breathiness). Probes were trained on …

The Neurogenic Abnormities of Paraspinal Muscles Lead to Asymmetry of Fibre Types in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis

Tianyuan Zhang, Bin Li, Wenyuan Sui, Xiexiang Shao et autres

The aetiology of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is not clear, and may involve disorders in multiple systems. This study aims to perform the morphological and molecular analysis of neuromuscular junctions (NMJs) and explore the asymmetry of paraspinal muscles in AIS. We collected …

Unilateral biportal endoscopic versus microscopic transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion for degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis in China: study protocol for a prospective, randomised, controlled, non-inferiority trial

Zizhao Wu, Ting Luo, Yang Yang, Mao Pang et autres

INTRODUCTION: Degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis is a common cause of low back or leg pain and disability in the elderly population. Patients with spinal stenosis who fail to respond to conservative treatment often require surgical interventions. Minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion …

The morphological discrepancy of neuromuscular junctions between bilateral paraspinal muscles in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis: A quantitative immunofluorescence assay

Tianyuan Zhang, Wenyuan Sui, Bin Li, Xiexiang Shao et autres

Introduction: Prior studies suggested that neuromuscular factors might be involved in the pathogenesis of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). The neuromuscular junction (NMJ) is the important pivot where the nervous system interacts with muscle fibers, but it has not been well characterized in …

Comparison of the efficacy of thoracolumbosacral and lumbosacral orthosis for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis in patients with major thoracolumbar or lumbar curves: a prospective controlled study

Lin Sha, Tianyuan Zhang, Wenyuan Sui, Qing Fan et autres

Introduction: Thoracolumbosacral orthosis (TLSO) is the most commonly used type of brace for the conservative treatment of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). Although lumbosacral orthosis (LSO) is designed to correct single thoracolumbar or lumbar (TL/L) curves, its effectiveness remains underexplored. This novel article …

Latent Phrase Matching for Dysarthric Speech

C. H. Lea, Dianna Yee, Jaya Narain, Zifang Huang et autres

Many consumer speech recognition systems are not tuned for people with speech disabilities, resulting in poor recognition and user experience, especially for severe speech differences. Recent studies have emphasized interest in personalized speech models from people with atypical speech patterns. We propose …

Type 3 bone-disc-bone osteotomy (grade 4+ osteotomy) combined with presurgical halo-pelvic traction: a safe and effective solution to correct severe angular-like kyphoscoliosis

Tianyuan Zhang, Wenyuan Sui, Xiexiang Shao, Yaolong Deng et autres

Background: Treatment of severe angular-like kyphoscoliosis is a technically demanding surgical challenge and requires high-risk spinal osteotomy, such as vertebral column resection. Preoperative halo-pelvic traction is commonly used to decrease the curve magnitude. However, few studies have utilized the potent method of …
