What is functional dysphonia?

Definition >>

Functional dysphonia is the abnormal use of voice despite normal anatomy and function of the vocal folds and the larynx which produce the voice and the pharynx and mouth which produce resonances. This condition can be related to the abuse or misuse of voice or habituation of compensatory techniques developed from the condition of the larynx.

Classification>>

Functional Dysphonia is often classified into 5 types.
- Conversion aphonia
- Habituated hoarseness
- Inappropriate falsetto
- Vocal misuse/abuse syndrome
- Postoperative dysphonia
- Relapsing aphonia

* Conversion aphonia

It is a dysphonia caused by conversion which is a psychiatric disorder. It is caused by the loss of voluntary control ability due to environmental stress of impairment in social areas. The symptoms include loss or impairment of speech, and dramatic improvements of voice can be brought through psychological treatment.

* Habituated hoarsenessIt is a voice disorder or impairment which appears continuously after an acute laryngitis or a vocal fold surgery while the vocal fold system is normal and has no complications. Although it is sometimes related to laryngopharyngeal reflux, it is more often caused by the social desire to be compensated.

The voice may sound raspy, strained, breathy, or there may be changes in volume or pitch. Treatments include voice therapies using masking sounds, asymptomatic attack, or yawning. About 63% of the cases can be treated by voice therapy.

* Inappropriate falsettoFalsetto voice is when a person makes a very high-pitched voice even in usual conversations. This voice is made from thin vocal lips or excessive contact of the arytenoids cartilages.

About 86% can be treated with voice therapy.

* Vocal misuse/abuse syndromeVocal abuse is any behavior or occurrence that strains or injures the vocal folds. Vocal misuse is improper voice usage such as speaking too loudly or at an abnormally high or low pitch. Frequent vocal abuse and misuse can damage the vocal folds and cause temporary or permanent changes in vocal function, voice quality, and possible loss of voice.

In order to maintain good vocal hygiene, avoid speaking in loud places and rest the voice completely through a counseling program.

* Postoperative dysphoniaIt is a severe voice disorder after vocal fold surgery while there is no abnormality in the vocal folds. Patients with postoperative dysphonia feel a pain when speaking and are easily exhausted. The voice sounds rough and low-pitched.

Patients should be instructed not to abuse or misuse the voice and prevent frequent coughing or gastroesophageal reflux.

* Relapsing aphoniaRelapsing aphonia is a voice disorder which involves severe symptoms of dysphonia or continuous silence. It is often related to undesired happenings or events and is caused by environmental stress or social relations. It has no following symptoms, and the symptoms may get better or worse depending on the mental or psychological state of the patient.

Unlike conversion dysphonia, relapsing aphonia is chronic and relapsing, and does not react to voice therapy. Treatment should involve a psychologist if necessary.

Protect your eyes after vision correction surgery

Sultry heat is back with summer. The weather forecast says that this summer will be hotter and more humid than usual years. People are heading to mountains and beaches to avoid sweltering heat. In this season of outdoor activities, germs easily spread due to frequent contact with other people, high temperature and humidity, thus requiring special care. Since human eyes, in particular, are more sensitive than other bodily parts and also exposed to the external environment, they are prone to bacterial infection and disease.

One of common eye diseases occurring in summer is epidemic conjunctivitis a.k.a. pink eye. It is highly contagious, and the symptoms include redness, irritation, watering of the eyes. In severe cases, the lymph glands in front of the ears and under the jaw swell and hurt.

If these symptoms occur, one should rest his/her eyes, use an antibiotic eye drop, and see an ophthalmologist to prevent complications. As epidemic conjunctivitis is infected through hands, one should often wash hands with soap not to infect family members and other people. As more frequent contact translates into higher chances of infection, one should avoid going to crowded places.

If you receive a vision correction surgery like LASIK, you should be especially careful not to catch epidemic conjunctivitis and other infections. If such happens within two months – the time required stabilizing your vision after the surgery, it may be difficult to heal your eyes from the disease. As such, use of swimming pools, public baths, and outdoor activities should be resumed two months after the surgery.

Another harmful factor in summer is ultraviolet rays. If your eyes are exposed to direct and strong sunlight for a long period of time, the UV rays can damage the cornea, which may lead to cataract and macular degeneration in severe cases. Corneal opacity may also occur as a side effect if one’s eyes are exposed to UV rays after the vision correction surgery. In that case, one should stay indoors or wear sunglasses to block UV rays.

Seoul Balgeun Sesang Eye Clinic

Seoul Balgeun Sesang Eye Clinic strives to serve you better. We engage in continuous research to restore your vision and happiness to your life. Balgeun Sesang Eye Clinic was one of the first eye clinics that introduced LASIK and LASEK procedures to Korea, which then did perform many vision correction procedures. It first opened as Busan Balgeun Sesang Eye Clinic in 1997 to introduce and propagate such procedures to Korea. Cheongdam Balgeun Sesang Eye Clinic opened in 2000, and since then, the clinics have made continuous advancement as a leader in the vision correction procedures. It earned a JCI (Joint Commission International Accreditation) certification in 2011, which was the first for a Korean ophthalmic clinic. As such, our capacity to provide international-level medical service is proven to be equal to that of the world’s leading hospitals like U.S. John's Hopkins Hospital.

Trusted by the public and frequented by many celebrities from home and abroad, Balgeun Sesang Eye Clinic has made a great record of having performed 160,000 vision correction procedures. Its name is synonymous with such procedures in Korea. With its outstanding performance in research and surgical experience, the clinic has earned recognition from the international medical society. We promise to continue to work for your bright vision, health and happiness, not only in Korea but also in any part of the world.

How to avoid food poisoning

Vibrio Parahaemolyticus Food Poisoning

As the risk of bacterial infection due to vibrio vulnificus sepsis is on the rise with the highest daytime temperature over 30℃, the National Fisheries Research & Development Institute (NFRDI) has announced a few factors to prevent vibrio parahaemolyticus food poisioning.

When preparing sashimi, raw fish, fresh fish must be used. The muscles of a living fish is sterile and do not carry pathogenic parahaemolyticus. However, bacteria on gills or scales penetrates into the muscles as they start to deteriorate, thus, it is imperative to wash fish thoroughly with running water after removing gills and scales in order to wash off parahaemolyticus.

Cooking utensils must be washed and disinfected after use. You can further prevent secondary contamination if other utensils such as knife, cutting board, dishcloth and etc. used to remove fish intestines, scales and fins are washed and disinfected as well.

Prepared sashimi must be consumed immediately or refreigerated as soon as possible. Since it only takes 10~20 minutes for vibrio parahaemolyticus to double up, leaving contaminated sashimi at room temperature for 3~4 hours during summer can cause food poisoning.

Healthy individuals do not need to worry too much about viblio parahaemolyticus because most of bacteria is weak to acid, thus, die when digesting food.

On the other hand, those with weak immune system must cooked food. Those who take antacids, stomach medicine or who have liver diseases (poor liver function, alcoholic liver disease and etc.) and diabetes must eat seafood that is boiled with the heat over 60℃.

“We will strengthen safety education targering fishermen and fisheries officials to prevent seafood food poisioning in summer time,“ said the representatives of NFRDI.
