Valltos, George was brought into the facility by G4S Transportation Officer Miller on behalf of Pinellas County Sheriff Deputy Magli on the charge of Misdemeanor – Resisting an Officer; Without Violence (Obstruction). Officer Miller advised staff that Valltos was intoxicated, uncooperative, bleeding from the mouth, had been tased prior to his arrest, and further assistance would be needed in getting Valltos into the facility. Officer Miller also informed staff that Valltos attempted to “slip”…
“Sorry Hector. “ I said standing straighter. “Let’s get started. I have some questions, and I am going to need a map. The more detailed the map of the city, the better. I will also need something he used every day.” “This is our investigation.” Erik hissed at me once more. “Yes and look at how much you accomplished.” I rolled my eyes. “You idiots don’t even know who took him. Let alone have a plan.” “It was the Fellowship of the Sun.” the cowboy said. “We have no proof, Stan!” Isobel yelled…
Shut up & Sing is a film directed by Cecilia Peck and Barbara Kopple that tells the story of the Dixie Chicks, a country girl band, and the career changing event that took place. In 2003, the night before the U.S was to go to war with Iraq, lead singer Natalie Maines decided to speak in between the band’s set regarding the war and President Bush. Maine says in front of the band’s London audience, “Just so you know, we’re on the good side with y’all. We do not want this war, this violence. And…
A lot of ideas taken from science play a part in vocal fold vibration. Both the Myoelastic Aerodynamic Theory and Bernoulli Effect deal with pressure and help to explain how vocal folds operate to create phonation. These processes can also be applied to real-life situations. The Myoelastic-Aerodynamic Theory describes the process of vocal fold vibration. It is important to recognize that the vibration of the vocal folds is the result of the interaction between tissue properties and airflow, not…
the aryepiglottic folds. a. The trachea is the tube-like structure that attaches to the cricoid, and brings oxygen into the lungs. b. The esophagus is the structure on the posterior side of the structure, this structure brings the bolus into the stomach. c. The aditus is the opening at the top of the structure d. The vestibule e. The aryepiglottic folds connect the front epiglottis cartilage to the arytenoid cartilage to create the top part of larynx. This was seen as two fold like…
oscillation of the vocal folds depends on tissue biomechanical properties. Vocal fold hydration is supposed to promote ideal biomechanical characteristics of vocal fold mucosa, increased efficiency of vocal fold oscillation, and enhance voice quality. There is evidence that, as the body tries to stimulate the thirst center in the hypothalamus; leads to reduced saliva production, resulting in dryness of the mucosa of the mouth and pharynx (Tortora & Grabowski, 1996). As the vocal folds also…
The anatomy of the vocal folds themselves is very intricate, the folds are located at the front on the larynx and their general structure includes the epithelium a thin and moist layer, which is the outer layer of the vocal folds. Underneath the epithelium is the Lamina propria (SLP) which is the part of the vocal folds which cause the sound through their vibration, the final layer being the vocal ligament determines the speed of the vibrations that occur,…
Effectiveness of Laryngeal Microsurgery and Voice Therapy to Treat Vocal Nodules in Singers Counterargument: Burns, J. A., Hillman, R. E., Stadelman-Cohen, T., & Zeitels, S. M. (2009). Phonomicrosurgical treatment of intracordal vocal fold cysts in singers. Laryngoscope, 119(2), 419-422. doi: 10.1002/lary.20001 Burns and colleagues (2009) studied the use of phonomicrosurgery in ten singers who presented with intercordal vocal fold cysts. Laryngeal stroboscopy was completed both preoperatively…
misusing their voice cause vocal nodules. It results in non-cancerous lesions of the vocal folds. Lesions occur when there is a pathological variation in tissue of a region. Most commonly, these nodules are bilateral; however there have been some cases of unilateral legions. Unilateral legions only occur on one side of the vocal folds. When the vocal folds are inspected, vocal nodules appear as white protuberances. Protuberances are bumps located on the edge of the vocal fold, they occur…
and is a Holistic Approach. According to Stemple, Roy and Klaben (2014), the purpose of the study is to achieve a strong and clean voice with the least amount of effort and the impact between the vocal folds. This helps minimize the amount of injury and continues maintain the health of the vocal folds. RVT involves oral sensation on the alveolar ridge to use phonation. How and Why Resonant Voice Therapy is performed RVT is a 7 stage program. The first step is training for using RVT is…
